should not have been sentenced for more
than fifteen years, instead of twenty.

1T is GROWING.

ALTOONA, Iowa, July 31.-Harvey
Ingham, editor of the Upper Des
Moines, has received a long letter from
Senator Allison, in which he expresses
the belief that an international agree
ment on bimetallism is probable with
in reasonable time. He says an
agreement on both the precious metals
is necessary as a basis of value and
the worlds commerce which cannot be
carried on without a reasonable, fixed
parity of exchange. Senator Allison
then proceeds TO justify his views by
citing evidence of. a growing bimetal-
lie sentiment in Great Britain and
Germany, and concludes as follows:
The silver question is a vital one in
the worldwide sense. international BIZ
metallism is making rapid progress in
Europe, and if we make no mistake
now, it is likely to make a solution
whereby silver and gold will again cir
culate at practical parity in value at
the agreed ratio"
