sion Louis r. Ehrichs of Colorado

sion Louis r. Ehricals Of Colorado
Springs, as chairman of one of the sub
committees, read the following address:
The executive committee OF the Ma
tional Sound Money league, in behalf OF
its members throughout the United
States. issued the following address:
international bimetaHism as a
world possibility is dead.
We recognize that the international
bimetallic commission appointed under
the St Louis pledge Of the Republican
party, have made strenuous efforts on
benaf of this policy. Those efforts have
proved futile. The commercial necessi-
ties of the world have demonstrated that
a dual standard is commercially unac-
ceptable and, in the present stage Of
civilization, impossible.
The hour has come, il seems to US,
when a national recognition of this
fact is necessary.
1.-The situation demands definite,
clear, unequivocal declaration that in
ternational binsballism is a dream OF
the past. The United States must pro-
claim their acceptance Of the world
TACT ana plant themselves nnally on tne
single gold standard.
'' The proclamation Of this monetary
position will quicken our commerce, in
crease foreign investments and make
permanent the prosperous conditions
wnioh have begun to manifest them
selves in our country.
1--WE invite the friends of sound
,triJa ~,
the well-being and safety Of our COM
mercial life to join in bringing about
the unmistakable declaration that now
and henceforth the monetary system of
the United States shah rest on the single I
gold Standard"
The next meeting Of the league will be |
held in Washington during January, |

SAME Is TRUE OF SILVER
Maybe Something Like Trust Would
Bring the Market Price Up

Denver, Nov. 9.-The Republican says:
For several days the managers of all
the smelters from Texas to British Col
umbia have been comforting together in
this city with a view to the promotion
Of the allied interests OF mining and
smelling. There appears to be unani-
nous determination to devise some
means. if possible 10 obtain the true
market price for their products, instead
Of the doctored and insufficient quota
tions now furnished by certain New
oYfk jobbers.
IN the case Of lead, for instance.
there is no good reason why the mar
ket price in New York should not be
quoted daily at s4.25 instead of s3.75.
and it is believed that through con-
certed action on the part of all the lead
smelters, justice can soon be obtained in
this important matter.
The same is true of silver"

would give the same attention to Italy
which they do to other countries they
would largely increase their trade. He
says there are no bidders at the auction
for furnishing American tobacco 20 the
government monopoly and the minister
Of finance sent a representative for the
purpose of purchasing tobacco direct in
various markets. 1t seems that, besides
oh tanning leaf of excellent quality, the
government has by this means econo-
mized 10 the extent Of 1921 $50. The con-
sui general also says that according to
the latest news received at the office
of the ministry Of agriculture of Italy
the wheat harvest this year has been
estimated at S6,S36, 700 bushels, or about
60 per cent of last years production.
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 9.-Mr. SattIey,
who left here on the steamer Albion
about seven weeks ago at the request of
several business houses 10 investigate
the possibilities Of establishing trade re-
lations with Mexico, has returned. He
says there is encouragement in some
lines, but that it viii take time TO ac-
complish much, and besides there is an
obstacle to overcome in the uncertainty
Of the continuation Of the steamship
line. A new boat and one well fitted for
the coast trade has been built in Eng
land and it is on the way over but will
probably sail under the Mexican flag,
which makes it extremely difficult to
enter American ports.
