In the opinion of the silver men,
now in Washington, the action Of the
silver mer, now in Washington, the
action of the Bank of England in de.
Gliding to hold one fifth of it's reserve
in silver. will not prove any direct
benefit to silver. but they believe it
will help silver indirectly by increas-
ing public interest in Europe in the
principle of bimetallism. They think
that the action on the part of
the Bank Of England was
taken more to conciliate the
growing silver sentiment in Great
Britain than as result of the bimet-
tallic commission to England and it's
conferences with representatives of
the government of Great Britain. Some
of the silver men regard the whole
business as nothing more than trick
on the part of the gold standard
fnanciers Of England to make the
silver men there and over here be-
lieve that they are gradually coming
around to bimetallism of their own
accord, in preference to waiting
until they are compelled to do SO.
These gentlemen are firmly of
the opinion that England will ney-
er willingly adopt bimettalism, and
that the only way to get her to do SO
is to force it, and the way to force it
is for the United States to adopt
bimetallism independently or in con-
junction with as many European Gov
ernments as may desire to join the
move.
