tits given out from Washington
as official information that Eng
land will send representatives to
the monetary conference to be
held IN Washington next winter.
The special ENJOYS sent from this
country to Europe by President
Mckinley were Messrs. Wolcott,
Stevenson and Paine, and they had
heretofore secured the consent Of
France, Germany and other lead.
ing nations to send representatives.
The principal object of the confer
ence is to endeavor to arrange a
uniform plan among leading coun.
tries for the use Of gold and silver
in the currency of the world. At
present the use greatly differs in
different nations, England using
but little silver money. and the
United States and France great
deal; some of England's colonies
and many nations using only silver.
The wide difference between the
present commercial ratio of silver
and gold (about "a to y and that
which prevailed for many years
(about 16 to y makes it possible
for any nation that has free silver
coinage at the old ratio to keep
any gold in circulation. Conse.
quently all the free silver countries
are on silver basis, and have no
gold in general use as money.
Most of the countries that do not
have free silver coinage have their
currency on a gold basis, but use a
large amount of silver money.
The international monetary con.
ference will try to agree on some
ratio of free coinage for both
metals that secures the use of both
gold and silver money in all the
leading countries. Up to the
present time leading free silverites
in the United States have not
shown any disposition to approve
of any ratio but the old and now
illogical one of "l6 to l."

THE OUTLOOK FOR REVENUE.

American Economist: The new
tariff is not expected to give ad-
equate revenues during the first
few months of its life. The re.
cent heavy inflcw of goods under
the old Democratic tariff rates will
to some extent prevent immediate
revenue.producing importations.
Some American industries will
find the market clogged by cheap
foreign goods which were rushed
in under the free trade tariff. This
is the last penalty which the
American people must pay for the
unhappy experiment in free trade.
But it will be short lived. The
return of prosperity will dispel
that cloud very quickly. But it
will not soon be forgotten. The
American people have paid dearly
for that experiment. The result
was the same as with all previous
experiments Of like character IN
the history of the American peos
pie. Want, woe and misery came
with the influx of goods from
abroad which should have been
produced in this country. 1t was
found to be no encouragement to
the American workingman out of
a job, and without money in his
pocket, to tell him that shiploads
of cheaper goods were coming into
the markets of this country. He
wanted employment before he
could buy. That he will soon get
employment under the new order
of things is the confident expecta.
tien Of all friends Of the cause of
protection, and the hope even Of
its honest opponents.

There is certainly no harm in
calling public attention to the tact
that the free silverites have to a
surprising degree abandoned their
arguments about the close relation
between the sprices of silver and
wheat. A year ago they had stacks
Of statistics for the farmers to
prove that the price of silver could
not go down without a similar fall
in the price Of wheat. When
wheat went up and silver went
down last fall the Popocrats readily
explained that by saying that Mark
Hanna manipulated the markets.
The same tendency in price Of both
products is again evident; wheat
is advancing and silver falling.
There are arguments in favor of
silver money, but the extremely
foolish one about the price of
wheat will never be used exten.
sively again. Wheat is advancing
in price because there is a better
demand for it. Silver is falling in
price because the demand for it is
decreasing. 44
