culturists, for more surplus cash, cash
which they can spend after they are
fed. Care, which in their compare
lively savage state they did not feel,
descends on them like a cloud.
friend of the writer, great manu-
tacturer devoted himself many years
ago To give his hands a dead lift f.
the scale Of civilization. He gave them
good houses ard good schools, opened
bank. preached thift, and tried in
all ways to Undue them with the ideas
Of the middle classes. He succeeded
even beyond his expectations, but with
this result, among others, that care
filed the minds of his people. that
thrift grew into a passion, and that
the sum of content in the village was
one-half. Precisely the same conse-
quences are following increasing en-
lightenment in France and Germany"

WHATEVER MAY BE SAID
AGAINST THE BIMETALLICM MOVE
MENT, 1T CANNOT BE DENIED
THAT 1T is GAINING BOTH IN
VOLUME AND STRENGTH. THE
BIMETALLIC LEAGUE OF TODAY
IS A FORCE TO BE RECONED
WITH. IF ITS CREED EVER DE-
SERVED THE REPROACH OF BEING
A HERESY OF AN INFINITESIMAL

REPROACH CAN BE TRUTHFULLY

LITTLE ONE HAS BECOME A
THOUSAND IT Is IMPOSSIBLE
TO TAUNT THE LEADERS OF THE
MOVEMENT WITH LACK OF COM
MERCIAL EQUIPMENT OR n
PRACTICAL ACQUAINTANCE WITH
THE ECONOMIC PROBLEM.
BANKERS AND MERCHANTS OF
THE VERY FIRST RANK HAVE
IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES WITH
THE ONCE DESPISED DOCTRINE.
AND NEW AND IMPORTANT AID
HERENTS ARE SUBSCRIBING TO
IT EVERY DAY.
THE conference held in the Mansion
House yesterday and to be continued
today establishes beyond dispute
that bimetalism has at its back. even
in England, an amount Of talent, bust
ness sagacity, economical experience
and personal authority, which entities
it's advocates, at least, to an attentive
hearing. One great point about the
leaders is that they are practical. They
know what they want and why they
want it. They are bimetallists under
la ,f to
facts. Their raison d'etre is the act
uality and pressure of the present.
1t is an almost pathetic sight to see
an able economical writer like Mr..
Cunning Macleod trying to meet the
case of depressed trade, impoverished
industry. falling exports, the financial
agony of India, and the threatened
ruin of Lancashire with his mumbling
Of the dry bones of antiquarian lore.
What the public wants in the way of
instruction is not the opinion of Sir
Robert Peel or Mr.. Husllisson, de-
livered siXty-four years ago, when the
conditions had nothing whatever in
common with those of today. They
do not desire to be fed with the re-
mainder biscuit of obsolete economies:
they want to learn the view of prac-
teal men, engaged in commerce and
manufacture, as to how far it is posi-
BILE by some measure Of currency re-

our very existence as a commercial ma
