He said that the time had! cume for Germany to take the initia tive. Bimetalliem would cause the rise of all prices where gold was the currency. Agriculture would be ruined if the present system was maintained. America would either absorb Germany's gold, or adopt a D _N.Thompeon, pure silver standard and capture the Oscar Reeder, whole eastern trade. Other supporters of the resolu.) == tion indorsed the position that Ger many had taken at the Paris mene | tury conference in 1883, that she regarded ani international agreement upon a ratio between gold and silye desirable. Dr. I. Theodore Barth, German radical unionist, said the Brussels couference had proved a fiasco, and the conference held in Germany in 1894 was fruitless There was little or no connection between the de pression in husbandry and the intro duction of the gold standard. Count Herbert Bismarck said that the failure of the Brussels :onfer- ence was partly due to the absence of un entente between the powers which took part init. The Berlin congress of 1878 arrived at a result because Great Britain and Russia had previously reached a basis for an | agreement. An international entente jupon the currency question would |be arrived at in the course of time, and in the case of Great Britain the feeling was growing in favor of bi- metallismm Herr Schoenlank, Social Demo crat, contended that the introduction jof bimetallism would lead to a fall jin the value of currency, and would | promise nothing but a hopeless future to the workingman. | | Dr. Leber of the Center party} ‘said the Centrists willingly support | ed the measure, because they saw in| |the proposed conference an attempt to remove the difficulties in regard | to the monetary standard—a ques- Cash Capital.
