AN IDLE DREAM

A careful study Of the proceedings at
the annual meeting of the Bimetallic
League of England, which opened at
Manchester Wednesday, does not re-
veal any solid encouragement for be-
lieving in the feasibility or proba bility
of securing international bimetallism at
the present time.
Referring to the mission Of the Ameri
can International Bimetallic commits
sion. headed by Senator Wolcott. the an
nual report of the league says: 1T is
earnestly hoped thorough cooperation
will be accorded by the leading nations
so that an international agreement will
be concluded at an early date"
That is all very we'll in its place, but
it affords no evidence that the govern
ment of Great Britain is favorably dis
posed to another conference. The Eng
lish bimetallists do not speak for the
Money Power Of England.
Nor does it afford much immediate
encouragement if bimetallism is "con
sonant with the general wish of the
nation" even if the statement is true.
which may reasonably be doubted. 10
cuts little or no figure in the practical
operation and administration of the
British financial system.
One might say with equal truth that
our people Of the United States are over
whelmingly in favor of bimetallism. as
even the Republican national platform
will show; but that is no indication
that the present Republican admins
tration is honestly endeavoring to Sc
cure bimetallism of the international
kind, to say nothing of independent BIZ
metallism.
The report of the meeting alludes to
the support alleged to have been given
international bimetallism by NJ Meline,
the French premier. in the chamber Of
deputies. That allusion is very obscure.
Whatever M. Meline's personal views
on bimetallism may be. he took it upon
himself to severely snub the American
commission almost as soon as its men,
bers had set foot on French soil and in
advance of any official notification of
their presence. He declared that France
would not call an international confer
ence unless England pledged herself in
advance to attend it; which was equiva-
lent to saying that France would not
call conference at all.
The Herald by no means wishes to be
understood as depreciating the efforts
of the English bimetallists. That they
are sincerely in favor of the double
standard, and that they are doing spen-
did work in educating public sentiment
may not be questioned; and they ars
entitled to the hearty support and good
will of the friends of silver in this
country.
When the field is thoroughly covered
and the facts carefully considered, ali
that remains is the undeniable truth
that the United States, if it wants bimet-
allism, must itself inaugurate that sys-
tenn without waiting for the consent of
any other nation. Those who favor
waiting on the Wolcott commission, on
France or on England, are simply max
ing themselves the catspaws of the Re
publican party, which is mortgaged,
body and soul, to the single gold stand
ard Money Power.

Died q Pauper

CHICAGO, June 3.-George Pye died
in the poor house last night and unless
friends intervene his body will go to
the medical college. Mr.. Pye was 60
years of age and graduate of Dublin
University. He was a civil engineer of
repute in the old country and came to
America some years ago possessed of
considerable wealth which he lost in
the failure of mechanical device in
which he was interested.
Last fall he went to the poor house
rather than ask aims from former
friends. 1t is said that Mr.. Pye has a
son and relatives in Boston.
