Senator Frye’s Bill to Invite Delegates From the Several Countries to Meet at Washington. THE MUTUAL INTEREST AND COMMON WEL- FARE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BE CONSIDERED—SENATOR FRYE'S VIEWS ON THE SILVER QTESTION IN THIS CONNECTION, Senator Frye will introduce In the Senate to- morrow a bill “authorizing and directing the President to invite,on behalfof the govern ment and people of the United States, dele gates from each of the.republics of Central and South America, including Mexico and San Do- mingo and the empire of Brazil, to assemble in the city of Washington on the 1st day of Octo- ber, 1886, to consider and decide upon such questions as shall beto the mutual interest and common welfare of the American peoples; that each of the Independent nations of tnis hemisphere shall be entitled to send as many delegates as each may for itself determine, but in the decision of questions In the congress no delegation shall haye more than one vote.” The bill also names the subjects to be considered, which are the promotion of the prosperity and stability of the American nations; the forma- ton of ‘an American customs union, confining, far as practicable, American tradé to Ameri: can waters, and giving a free interchange of commodities between all the nations of this continent; the establishment of direct lines of steamers between alll the nations: theestablish- Ment of uniform customs regulations,ete.; the \doption of uniform laws regalating weights and Measures, putents, trade-murks, ete; and the “adoption of a common silver coin, which ‘shall be issued by each government, in such an amountas shall be proportionate to eo lation ofeach, the same to be legal tender in commercial transuctions between citizens of all the American nation: The bill provides that the invited delegates shall be the guests of the United States, and that the President, beiore the adjournment of Congress, shall appoint 24 delegates to the said congress, selected equally from the two political parties, WHAT MR. FRYE SAYS. Mr. Frye says in relation to the bill that the purpose of it is to bring Into closer commercial and political relations all the nations of the American hemisphere. He does not favor any political compact, but thinks the good offices of this government could be exercised to preserve Peace und strengthen the other nations, He wants the other nationsand this to become acquainted, and thinks commercial Inumucy would follow. With relation to the adoption of # common coin he says we aro now paving from seventy-five toone hundred miilion dollars ey ear in gold as a bulance of trade to countries who use nothing but silver, and that this gold goes to English and German traders, This bal- ance, he thinks, ought to be paid in silver. He says: “I am in favor of a customs union—an Ainerican Zolverein, if you please; reciprocal concessions by each of the American nations, We now admit free of duty nearly all the pro- ducts of Central and South America, while a high duty is levied upon all our products that go down there. I am quite sure we could get some valuable concessions by asking for ther.” Changes in the Offices, Post Office Inspector Wm. 'T.
