News and Observer.
An intelligent American cor.
respondent in Paris has made
careful examination OF the fl.
-nancial views of the wealthy
classes in France and declar.

or OF free coinage at silver is
"almost UNIVERSAL" Not on

France who are most active
in promoting bi-metallism
represent interests similar ia
those of the single gold stan
dard advocates in the United

This correspondent also
states that last winter the
Chamber of Deputies by a
tw0-thirds vote passed a res
oIution, introduced by Mr..
Meline, Prime NJ mister, which
declared that "the establish
mpnt of international bimet-
allism would be a great ben
eft to the agricultural, indus
trial and commercial inter-
ests, and we urge upon the
government the advisibility
OF dong all in its power to
establish and maintain, by
international agreement. a
stable parity of exchange be-
tween gold ana silver"
Commenting on the sta To-
mnnts of the American cor
respondent quoted, the st.
Louis Republic, which says
they are of "a most encour-
aging narure,' adds:
"With such a strong bime-
tAllic sentiment as this in
France. which dominates the
Latin Union, it is only a ques
ton of time when bimetal-
lism il bound to be re-estab-
lished. The United States
could take initiative without
the dread of having no allies
t o fight the battle. Great
Britain would soon have to
reopen the mints of India to
the white metal to prevent
upheavnls in the vast COM
merce of that country. But
to accomplish anything i n
that line We shall have to
