C., May 3.—The agitation in Europe, and notably in Englaud,in favor of rehabilitation of silver as a money metal is being ob served with the greatest satisfaction by the administration, for it is re-| garded as strong confirmation of the principle to which President Cleve- land has so steadfastly adhered through thick and thin, and some- times at the risk of his own popular ity with his party. The president has contended that equality of gold and silver couid be brought about and maintained only by agreement between the great financial nations of the world. With this conviction he has been obliged to resolutely oppose all attempts at individual action by the Unitied States. When the extreme silver men have declar ed that there was and could be no hope of consummation of the desir ed international agreement, the pres- ident has replied that a firm and sterdfast adherence to the line of policy initiated by the repeal of the silver purchasing sections of the Sherman act must inevitably bring about the desired result. One of the purposes in view then the less danger to whieh it was cub- jected by the efforts to maintain, unaided by any of the great financial powers, the integrity as a money metal of a vast silyer circulation. Europe has prospered under the old conditions and was well satisfied with one ounce of gold, when in the | open market we can buy thirty-one | ounces of silver with au ounce of gold. While I have always opposed the free coinage of silver, I have nove | the less desired that silver should be used to the utmost extent possi- | ble as a money metal, providing only that it would plece us ou a single standard of silver and drive gold from the country, gold the recognized standard in mone ary transactions with all the betray tte’ com mercial nations. I, therefore, joined heartily in expressing the Lope the bimetallic congress about tu ussein ble in London recommend some plan by which all the commer- cial nations would arrange a mode of coining both a3 money. My own opinion is that it is better to recognize at once as a fact that it is apparent that on account of the vast increase in the production of silver the ratio should be based upon the present relative market value of sil ver and gold.” Sevator Teller said: ‘As to the effect of the telegram sent to the Minchester meeting by Senator Sherman and other senators who have not been known as silver men, would metals I think the telegram will encourage bimetallism in Europe by showing that even those who oppose the free coinage of silver have come to recog- nize the necessity of a double stand ard, and that it will be seen from this, that while differences of opin Feed and Provisi Produces East Side S.

The president’s theory was that by suspending further ef- forts in that directian, the United States would cause the European nations to feel the need of a large: circulating medium and to share at least with us the hardships of mon- etary stringency. Therefore, the movements now in progress in Eng- land aud Germany and France are regarded by the administration peo ple as evidence of the successful working of the president’s policy. Great importance is not attached to the attempt initiated by Mexico to secure another conference, though it is not true that the president has refused to join in the movement, for as a matter of fact, the Mexican goy- ernment has not yet made any tangi- ble proposition, and has confined its efforts ko sounding other govern- ments to learn how a formal inyi- tation would be received. And, not- withstanding the rosy promise held out by European agitation, our gov- ernment is not yet satisfied that a satisfactory international agreement can be reached at preseut, or even The severe as to that and Germany are ready to abandon their in the near future. pressure has not yet become so warrant the belief on our part such nations as Great Britian jong cherighed convictions and take up the double standard. Probably some kind of an agree- ment might be reached new, but ac cording to the view taken in finan. | cial quarters kere it probably would not realize our desire to put silver| on a perfect equality with gold, ayd | it is thought would postpone indef finitely that restoration. Therefore it is probavle that our government| will pursue a conservative course, declining to take the initiative again in view of the fruitless conferences already held, and bide its time until the European powers, and _particu- larly Great Britian, are prepared to invite the United States to join ina | conference which shall have before it some distinct proposition looking | tothe rehabilitatien of silver, and | house, Sir William Houldsworth who jread a paper on “The effects upom | level of peices.” to how we shall secure the full use of silver as standard money, none exists as to the necessity of the use of both gold and silver on terms of mint equality.” FAVOR THE MOVEMENT. Following is a copy ofa cablegram sent to the Lord Mayor of London apropos of the bimetallic conference held in that city. The cablegram was signed by several United States senators: We desire to express our cordial sympathy with the movement to pro- mote the restoration of silver by in- ternational agreement in aid of which we understand a meeting is under your lordships presidency. We believe the free coinage of both gold and silver by international agreement with a fixed ratio would secure to mankind the blessing of a sufficient volume of metallic mouey, and which is hardly lesa important, secure to the world of trade immu- nity from violent exchange fluctua- tions. The document was signed only by senators who voted for the repeal of the Sheriaan law the sign- ers being: John Sherman, Allisor, Hoar, Aldrich. Hill, Murphy, Gorman, Platt, Brice, Carey Frye, Davis, Cullom and Lodge. LONDON CONFERENCE.

Thery, one of the French delegates, warmly urged the establishment of the internation- al bimetallic league. The proposal was cordially supported and it is generally believed that it will be carried into effect. A pamphlet upon the silver question has just been published by Sir Joseph McKenna, ex-director of the national bank of Ireland. The pamphlet is creating a sensation in bimetallic circles and with sufficient power lodged in the members to insure a practicable out come. jat the conference. It is devoted to roving that Lord Liverpool's legis- jtation of 1816 was simply a frand. the 6 . se 2 Z2aa ° Ln z 225 BSS S345 eS os pes wSS 3 wena =!
