Az INTERNATIONAL CONFEnENCE
Senator PETER Says the Popuiists VIII Not
Oppose One.

Senator PETER is the only Populist SEN
ator in the city. but he believes that the
members OF his party will not oppose the
proposed resolution Of Senator Chandler
providing for a commission 10 represent
thi1 country in an international conference
on the money question. lie says that no
objection will be mierposed. "Ihe popu-
lists said Senator Pener to-day, talking
about Senator Chandler's proposition,
have never had any faitn in the efficacy
Of an international agreement. We don
reglrd money as "A subject for interna-
tiona consideration 40 all. We believe
that il f. purely local matter for tho
people Of the different nations. There
never has been any International money.
and from our standpoint there never
Will bee any. except obligations on paper
or the settlement OF international balances.
/ don't think the Populists would put
anything in the way Of an international
conference. except their own views as 10
fits utter u clcssuess. We would probably
avail ourselves of the opportunity 10
thoroughly discuss thc money question on
81 much broader plane than the Bryan
people stood on in the last campaign.
Then / think we would interpose no
objection 10 the appointment Of such a
commits ion. and lct It's friends make the
most they can out Of if. We will all

nerves sseadier. the muscles stronger,
and the spirits brighter Brain workers

have uniformity of ability for application.
