governor of the bank of England
that the bank exercises the author.
fly vested in it by law to keep one
fifth of its reserve IN silver. Great
Britain takes no stock in the effort
to reach an agreement that will Sc
cure international bimetallism. 1t
Is wining and dining the three dis
tinguished commissioners of the
United States while it is laughing
in its sleeve at the object Of their
mission. The fact that the govern
or of the Bank Of England, how
ever, has recommended the use Of
silver for one-fifth Of the bank re-
serve as authorized by law shows,
atleast, that there are some high
in authority who see something in
the demand for an increased use Of
silver. The mission Of the none
tary commission which has been
visiting the European capitals will
be entirely fruitless; but it's we'll
shat it has been undertaken; for
when appeals are made in future to
postpone action in this country
with o view to securing interna-
tional agreement, the fact will be-

independent action becomes more
