The utter uselessness of drumming UP
another international monetary conference
was emphatically affirmed to the writer by
Senator Allison, soon after he came back
empty handed from the conference of 1892.
Allison was the chairman Of the American
delegation, and John P. Jones Of Nevada
was the eloquent and happy spokesman for
silver-the only man who was ever re-
spectfully listened to in behalf of silver at
the conference.
Why said Allison, after he had re-
cited few of the salient incidents of
the trip, 1.-The posting of another American
commission in behalf of silver to the Old
World will be farce unless it is invited
by Great Britain. I, for one, will never
go again on such bootless errand, no
matter what is urged"
Allison is very quiet man, and not
given to much seif-assertion; hence the
warmth and the emphasis with which he
spoke upon this topic at the time in
especial, and it recurs now with the trip
OF Woieott, which might as well be made
