DOUBLE STANDARD Opinions at the Capitol. in Regard to the Bimetallic Conference. GOLD AND SILVER THE MONETARY BASIS International Agreement Ought Not to Interfere With Action Here. ALL DO NOT AGREE ‘The international bimetallic congress in England continues to be the subject of much favorable comment at the Capitol. Sena- tors and Representatives who assisted in the repeal of the Sherman act take even greater interest in it than thdse who resist> ed repeal, and express themselves very fiee- ly as in sympathy with the movenent, Senator Hill was found, gmong others, to be very willing to express his opinion of the movement in England in the interest of bimetallism, as indicated by the conference. He sald: “I joined in the dispatch to the bimetallists of England because I desired to encourage them in their earnest efforts to promote the cause of a double standard. The best interests of the whole world would be subserved by making gold and silver the standard money of all countries, The best thinkers, the best writers, the best states- men and the best financiers are gradually, but surely, realizing the fact that a single standard of gold means the impoverishnent of the people everywhere, and that, some adequate relief from present conditions is essential. An international agreement. be- tween the leading nations recognizing silver as standard money, with gold, is the goa) to reach which every effort should now be made. It is feasible, it Is desirable, it is important. It would promote the Interests of Great Britain as well as those of every other great commercial country. ‘There are some indications that English sentiment is now drifting toward bimetallism. It is the duty of this government to pursue that course which will surely hasten the day when bimetallism shall be an accomplished fact. “If the present administration does not shape its policy in that direction, the people will select one that will. Bimetallism, eith- er by international agreement or inde- pendently, if necessary, is to be the great issue of the future.” Views of Allison a: Voorhees. Senator Allison, who was a member of the last international monetary conference, said of the present movement: “The confer- ence In London ts significant as respects its membership, and as respects the strong ut- terances favoring the full use of silver as money. It shows the growth of public opinion in Europe in favor of the ‘inter- national use of silver as money of full legal tender. I notice that leaders of public opin- fon in England are in full sympathy with and participating in the deliberations of the conference. I have faith that when oppor- tunity is given the growing sentiment in favor of the full use of silver will find ex- ression at the election in England, and tland and Ireland, when a dissolution takes place, as It will be impossible to keep this question out of the campaign.” Senator Voorhees said of the compromise: “It is a step in the right direction. It shows that the idea is alive and commanding great respect. It indicates that the nations will not long consent to the continued disuse of silver as money, and points to the restora- tion of free coinage. If silver should con- tinue to be denied its right as a money etal, it will be at the behest of the money power the world over, and at the expense of the laboring and producing classes. I expect the issue to be met, especially in this country, at a very early date, and in a very rugged and determined manner. Let me say, also, that I look upon the recent repeal of the Sherman act as a movement in the direction of free coinage and the full use-of | silver ag money. “I look from no immediate result from the bimetallic conference in England, but it shows that the subject is alive and at the front among able and thinking’ people. In that respect the convention will be of use to the friends of silver money. The friends of silver money have no occasion be dis- couraged. The people have a termining great questions at the proper time and under fitting circumstances which caunot be resisted. I look for a general, strong and popular movement on the sub- ject, such that when it comes it will defy the opposition of the money centers and the power of money. I hope to liye to take part in this movement when it shall come.” Asked if he thought this movement would take place during the present session of Congress, Senator Voorhees said he thought not. Senator Morrill sald: “I am glad to ob- serve the movement in England in the in- | terest of bimetalltsm, and I think there is some ground for hope that something may be accomplished. I dcubt very much, how- ever, whether anything can be done under the present administration in that country, With Sir William Vernon Harcourt out of power, and with Balfour and Lord, Salis- bury reinstated, I should be very hopeful | of accomplishing good results in the thter- est of international bitnetallism through English influence. Opinions on the House Side. ‘The financial leaders of the House ex- pressed hearty approval of ‘the’ cable sent by Senators to the lord mayor of London. Representative Bland, the silver leader in the House, authorized the following. state- ment concerning the bimetallic conference at London: “I have never considered an interna- tional agreement of sufficient {mportance to delay tion by our own government: I think we are able to maintain our own sys- t of bimetallism. The efforts toward an international agreement in the past have been used as a pretext for delay. I have no doubt, however,’ that the present move- ment of European countries is in gowd faith and may lead to results.- But that is top remote to warrant delay on our part for ourselves.” Representative Dingley, republican member of the coinage committee: “I heartily in- dorse the views expressed in the cable- gram. An International agreement is the only’ means by which we can accomplsh, the free coinage of silver and gold. Great Britain must be the moving factor in such an agreement, and when she acts the rest of the world will act. For that reason the present conference is exceedingly impor- Mr. Tracey of New York, democratic member of the coinage committee, suld: “An international agreement for bimetal- lism fs the most feasible and the onty method of coining silver and gold on equal terms. It would be thoroughly acceptabie to the conservative element in Congress, and the silver men clso would receive it with satisfaction, There is the question whether the parity between the metals could be maintained by international agree- ment, but even should gold go to a pre- mium there would be no disadvantage to SICK PEOPLE CORED Eminent Doctors at Your Service Free Not a Penny to Pay for the Fullest Medical Examinatio; Munyon's Homeopathic Temedy Company employ & number of eminent doctors, who have achloved Aiguinetion in diagnosing and curing diseases, The marvelous cures which they have have caused physicians of all schools nd have attrieted sick people them from nearly every state ia the Union. ‘Thousands praise the day ihey came for trent- ment.

Stone, republl- can member of the coinage committee, who wrote the minority report on the Bland selgniorage bill, says: “The Senators’ cable is very timely and expresses the views of those who earnestly wish to see the free coinage of gold and silver by the only pos- le ‘méeans—an international agreement. In feport against the Bland bill I urged that it was a temporary expedient, which would retard an internatfonal agreement and thus delay genuine bimetallism. Eng- land would never act while she thought we would assume the whole burden of coining silver. As a creditor nation she was ready to see us use silver so that she could ab- sorb our gold, But as we have declined to assume the burden, she finds that we can hold part of the gold as payment for our wheat and oil and other staples. The pres- ent conference at London is the result, and it gives a most hopeful outlook for the free coinage of silver and gold.” Representative Hatch (Mo.)—“The Lon- don meeting is remarkably significant and important. It shows that the world is awakening to the needs of bimetallism, Ar- mies of unemployed, mob rule, here and abroad, have followed the demonetization of silver, and it is a hopeful sign that the world is now recognizing that the wrong must be righted and that silver must be re- stored as a money of the world.’ Representative Cox (Tenn). “I am very much impressed with the preset confer- ence, as It is coming from the right source. Bimetallism cannot be long deferred, The world is recognizing the necessity of it, and with England moving, we will have an international conference and an interna- ticnal agreement.” Representative McCreary (Ky.), a mem- ber of the last international monetary con- ference, said: “I have always believed that the way to reach bimetallism was through international agreement. ‘That result coming rapidly. I know many of those at- tending the London conference, and I re- gard their action as advancing the solution of the bimetallic question. All Are Not Agreed, Representative Straus (New York city): “The conference foreshadows results of profound importance. England and the rest of the world must come to bimetallism if the United States will only remain pas- sive and not pass petty silver measures. The solution to the financial problem is not far off, if we ourselves do not block the way.” Representative Sperry (Conn.): “I donot believe in bimetallism, and no international agreement can keep gold and silver at a fixed parity. There must be one standard, and one only. The Latin union tried the experiment with a double standard and failed to keep the parity after five years. A combination of the nations of the world will fare no better.” Representative Wheeler (Ala. fear the London conference can accomplish nothing, although I am heartily in favor of its pur- poses. There is a strong element there fa- voring bimetallism, but the dominant gov- ernment is against it. If.Salisbury came back to power we might get it, but as long as the Gladstone element is in the ascend- ancy it cannot be accomplished.” Representative Swanson (Va.): “The con- ference will avail nothing. The comemrcial ciasses control England, as they concrol America, and the commercial classes want gold and gold only, because it enhances the value of their bonds.” Representative Breckinridge of Arkansas: “I am very happy to see that so important a conference is being held in London to consider the best means of restoring silver to its former position, and use as one of the money metals of the world, and I am heart- ily.in sympathy with all such enlightened ‘orts.”” Representative Cockran (N. : “The two metals have never been at a parity, The idea that they have is one of the fallacies which ‘seems to be indestructable. An in- ternational agreement might bring about the result of maintaining this parity. But my own judgment is that it would not,” Cu-Operation of Europe. Represntatieve Kilgore (Tex.): “If En- gland will take the lead and show the slightest friendliness to bimetallism, there will be no further trouble. It is most sig- nificant that the present movement comes from England, when she has heretofore held | out against an international agreement.” Representative Quigg (N. Y.)—“In any situation that seems likely to arise within this generation, the only possible way of bringing about free coinage or even a jarger use of silver as a money metal, is through an international agreement, to which England will be a party: That, of course, might be said as to France, Ger- many, or the United States. So long as any one of these nations holds away from an agreement, and so long as silver production is so easily rendered great, its larger use as money is certainly impossible, for by no other plan than the general enactment of nations can there be any such thing as a double standard of value. A silver dollar today is U cents. We pretend it is $1. We are agreeing to make believe that it is $1, and so long as we keep us this pretense, and so long as people believe we can keep it up, that & cents will circulate as a dol- |lar. But when the confidence fails, the | scheme fails. ‘That is the present situation and it can never be altered, except by gen- eral agreement by nations, which will fix the price of silver bullion at all the mints of the world and make a common ratio, Whether things are tending in that direc- | tion or not, 1 doubt. Whether it would be a public advantage if they did so tend, I doubt. dovery now and then there is a rip- |ple of silver excitement in Kngland, but jit-dies away. 1 rather think this will die, too. I don’t think that anybody has proved | yet that there is not enough gold to form the basis of the world’s currency. People | have got into the habit of saying there is | not, but I doubt if amy considerable propor- tion of them understand what they are talking about.” Effect on the Movement Here. Representative Black (Ga.)—“While the effort for an international agreement would Pot lead us to stop us in our financial pro- gress, yet, if accomplished, it would be of incalculable value.” Representative Whiting (Mich.)—“I, of course, favor an international agreement. But this country cannot afford to wait for jit. Let us pursue our own course, and a cept the international agreement if comes.” Representative Walker (Mass.)—“I would have signed the cable expressive of Ameri- can sympathy with the movement if I had jhad the opportunity. An international } agreement is the only method of accom- | plishing bimetallism.” “ + oe PROF. RILEY'S RESIGNATION, it The Distinguished Entomologist Tired of the Government Service. Prof. C. V. Riley, for many years chief entomologist of the Department of Agri- culture, has resigned, to take effect June 1. In his letter to the Secretary of Agri- culture Prof. Riley says: “It is not easy to sever connection with a division which one has developed; from work one has at heart, or from friends and associates; but whatever the personal sac- rifice, a due regard for the wishes of fam- ily, for health and for peace of mind, prompts this action, which, indeed, I have for some time contemplated. “There is much work either planned or begun and unfinished, and in carrying it on I shi all times be glad to give what advice and assistance it may be in my power to give. In this connection I take the Liberty of urging the appointment of Mr. L. O. Howard asfmy successor. has been my first assistant for sixteen years, and not only deserves the promotion oa civil service grounds and because of his quaiifications and familiarity with the work ot the office, but because of his signal abil- ity and admirable personal traits. * ‘Resignation’ of government position 1s so cften synonymous with ‘polite dismis- sal that 1 may as well state, for the bene- fit of the gossips, that this action ts taken without suggestion from, or consultation with, you or any one else, and purely for | the reason above mentioned.” Prof. Riley has been chief of the entomo- | logical division of the Agricultural Depart- | ment for nearly twenty years, and had eerly in his career gained an international reputation by reason of his researches and valuable discoveries in his chosen branch of applied science.
