France Becoming Strongly in Favor {

Biinctal!ism.
Silver men must not lose heart. The
writer of this yesterday saw a letter
from an eminent man in France. say
ing that the premier of France has
become a pronounced bimctallist:
that he is working with all hi, cncr~
gv, all his influence and all his ;bil;-
ty, to arrange with Germany and
Great Britain for rcN1eiin,, CT the
Brussels congress. The letter fur
ther states that the rc,usiOn Ot' feel
ing III France is something trcrcN5-
Gus: that the French have begun To
take On the bclicf that the fall III
wheat is due to the fail in silver. ard
that is having the effect to make all
France in favor Of bimctalli;,m. We
suspect it was news OF something
Of this kind That indirectly Influenced
Senator Jones to Withdraw his hi!l:
that it was what prompted Senator
Wolcott's resolution, and that IL *
understood BY the Silver senators;
that the summer is Guing to bring
great things for himetull5m. THAT
is the difference between our c0uil-
try and the European countries. II
they are ever convinced that it is tic

it would be natural to expect that
the Hothsclllds would not want tt
make the rule apply TO England: in.
asmuch as the center OF The CONNER
cial world is there. and exchanges
are all made through there, but Eng
land herself, her agricultural people
and her manufacturers, are terribly
shaken by tie fall Of the price oT tht
rupee, and it is not impossible to hope
that Great Britain will join with the
rest, because those iinancicrs under.
stand, as ours never seem to be able
to, that the price OF silver is re-1!.

nations Of the earth: that if they

is nothing except legislation cyel
drew gold and silver apart, and all
that is now needed IS recognition
to bring them together again. Il
