FAILURE FEARED.
France Not So Anxious for
a Reciprocity Treaty.
Renewed Hope for ReassembIing Of
AngIo-American Commission.
Our Government TO Make Splendid Exhibit at
the Paris Exposition.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-The Franco
American reciprocity negotiations have
again assumed critical stage and as
only three more days remain within
which a treaty can be framed under
the Dingley act there is considerable
anxiety as to the final success of the
treaty.
The conditions have entirely changed
within the last few days. and whereas
at one time the French ambassador,
NJ Cambon. and the special reciprocity
delegate. NJ. Charpcntier, We're quite
DESTROYS of closing the matter. it is un-
derstood they no longer show any
anxiety in that direction.
This is said to arise largely from an
agitation which has begun in France
against the treaty, on the ground that
it threatens to bring American goods
in competition with French goods and
to throw out of employment many
French workmcn. This unexpected OPP
position in France appears to have in
duced the government leaders to use
much circumspection in closing the
treaty.
In case the present sharp differences
are adjusted the expectation is that
the treaty will be signed, Saturday.

stead of trying to drive any protested
believer in that platform out of the
party my aim is to so impress upon
all Democrats the importance of the
triumph of Democratic principles that
all local differences will be lost sight
of in the determination to restore the
our fathers"
Mr.. Bryan then submitted these
propositions:
First. President Mckinley, by send
ing a commission to Europe to secure
international bimetallsm, confessed the
gold standard to be unsatisfactory.
Second. the failure of the commission
to secure international bimetallism
proves that bimetalism can be restor-
ed only through Independent action.
Third. the gold standard is main

can people desire it but because few

policy of England. control, through the
Republican party, the financial policy
of the United States.
Fourth, If the increased production
Of gold in the Klondike and the impo,-
tation Of gold from Europe have in
creased the volume Of money and i'm
proved the times, it is evident that
more money makes better times. and
times could be still further improved

which would make silver as well as
gold available for coinage.
Fifth, If it was more difficult to
maintain the parity between gold and
silver when the supply of silver was
increasing. it must now be easier to
maintain the parity since the supply
of gold is increasing.
On the trust question he declared
that the trust is a menace to the well
fare Of the people Of the United States:
that the attorney general can recon-
mend an amendment TO the constitu-
ton if the present constitution makes
it impossible to extinguish the trusts.
and that the Republican party is pow

as the trusts furnish the money to
