Iowas Ex-Governor Eisb0ratps Mr.. Win.
dOn,'s Plan for = Double Standard.
Dies MONIES, Oct. l3.-Ex.Governor
Boies has written letter to The Leader
upon the subject of Bullion as Basis
of National Currency" At the outset
he asks the questions, "Gold and silver
bullion for money; is it practicable ?
Can they be made an invariable double
standard for the measurement Of val.
ues?" He answers these questions in
the affirmative, and says that Mr.. Win.
dom suggested the basis Of plan which
he elaborates. He concludes his letter
thus:
1T is said that no plan Of that char
acter would be In accord with the
Chicago platform. That is true. But
the Chicago platform has had its day In
court before the tribunal Of last resort.
Must Democrats to be loyal adhere to it
forever? The objection is at VARIANCE
with the whole theory Of our form OF
government. II valid, elections would
settle nothing, majorities would cease
to rule, and when political issue was
once Joined the warfare over it would
20 on until one or the other Of the par
ties to it was totally annihilated."

Japan Considered in All
Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Secretary

the determination of Great Britaia not

Russia aud Japan, and the statement is
made that up to the Esd of last month

expected that the conference would pro-
coed with Russia and Japan, as well as
Great Britain, present. 1t is pointed
cut that, aside from the written CORE.
spondence to which Lord Salisbury had
called attention, there were verbal
negotiations between Ambassador Hay
and his lordship in which specific refer.
ence was made to the
Participation OF Russia and Japan.
At one of these verbal exchanges, it is
stated, Lord Salisbury said he would
advise with the officials OF the foreign
Office concerning the subject. discussed
which included the participation OF
Russia and Japan. Subsequently, on
July 20, Ambassador Hay wrote to Lord
Salisbury, saying the president hoped
to have Russia and Japan participate in
the conference. In view of these cir
cumstances. the United States had con.
fidently expected that Great Britain
would take part in the conference and
that Russia and Japan would be rcY'e-
sented, with the approval Of Cat
Britain.
Besides the foregoing reply, and II
view of the differences which have
arisen, the state department suggests
conference in accordance with the terms
OF Lord Salisbury's agreement as he
construes it, namely, betw cen experts
of Great Britain, the United States and
Canada,
