in the United States.
The present international monetary
conference really. grew out oi the agi
nation for the free coinage of silver in
the United States. The proposition to
call it took definite form about the time
of the contest over the Bland bill in
N the houae last spring. It was proposed
by President Harrison. It was also
1 favored by ex-President Cleveland, and
i ihe gold-standard leaders of his party
I Hence a resoultion providing for the
I calling of the conference passed both
' houses of congress almost without oppo-
sition. Secretary Fostt,. went to Eng-
k Jand last summer to secure the co-oper-
" ation of the British government. Cor
"Kdial invitations were sent to all the
European governments urging them to
send delegates. Mo6t of them acceded
to the requesst, and & time and place
for the meeting were set.
l The object of the present aamimstra-
Jtf tion in calling the conference was
( t without doubt to prevent, or at least
I . to postpone, the triumph of the silver
I movement in the United States,
j While the delegation appointed by
! garrison to represent the United
! Tates is unfriendly to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the present
L - ratio, it really favors any halfway
measure that will tend to relieve the
"0 present strain, and quiet the present
agitation of the money question in the
United States.
Other nations have sent delegates
iainly out of courtesy to the United
tates.
' In Europe as in the United States
l'or twenty years all financial legisla
tion has been in the direction of more
fully establishing a gold standard,
There is practically no agitation of the
silver question there.
Under such conditions there has
baen no reason to hope that the con
ference could accomplish any good
And no intelligent observer will be
surprised at its complete failure to ac
complish anything.
THE CONFERENCE MEETS.
On November 22, the conference met
Brussels, the capital of Belgium
Delegates representing the following
nations were present:
Austria-Hungary, Belgium, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy,
Thj9 Netherlands, Portugal, Roumania,
Russia, Servia, Spain, Sweden, Norway,
Switzerland, India, Denmark and
ilexico. The United States is repre
sented by five regular delegates as fol
lows: Senator W. B. Allison of Iowa,
Sen tor Jones of Nevada, Congressman
McCreary of Kentucky, H. W. Cannon,
president of the Chase National bank
of Chicago, and O. E. Leech, director
of the mint. Of these Jones is the
only radical free coinage man, Mc
Creary leans that way but is not very
radical. The others are strongly
opposed to free and unlimited coniage
at the present ratio. Besides these
tegular delegates, the United States is
auso represented at the conference by
E -B. Andrews, president of Brown
University, Prof. Faulkner of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Thos. W,
Cutler, Thos. Keller and Jas. T. Mor
gan. Several of these men are pro
nounced gold standard men, and not
one of them is a pronounced friend of
silver.
The delegates from Great Britain
are: Sir William Houldsworth, M. P.,
V Northwest Manchester; Bertram
Irrie, partner in the bank of Messrs.
Jtjfnn, Mills, Currie & Co.; Sir Charles
Ijtnantle. K. C. H.. dflnutv irmmrnnr

Mr. Beernart, prime minister of Bel-
'gium called the conference together,
and delivered an address of welcome.
He spoke of the importance of the
money question, and expressed the hope
that much good would result from the
Conference. He said it was fitting that
ihe conference should be held in one of
the states belonging to the Latin Union
but it was the duty of the American
delegates to put forward their views
and explain how they proposed to carry
them into effect.
Montefiore Levi, a Jewish financier,
me of tho Belgium delegates was then
nimously chosen president.
the conference then adjourned until
iday November 26
The man who nominated Levi, the
w, for presideat of the congress, was
Hen. E. Terrell of the United
VOL. IV.
States minister to Belgium. The,
Jewish papers of Europe are rejoicing
because three of the most prominent
members of the conference are Jews.
Levi and Rothschild are two of them.
In the evening the delegates at
tended a grand banquet given by M.
Beernaert.
SECOND SITTING.
On Friday the 25th, the conference
re-assembled. The fi rst difference that
arose was in regard to the sittings.
The English delegates wanted to meet
every day. The American delegates
and others opposed this. They argued
that it would be impossible for dele
gates speaking so many different
languages, to intelligently follow the
discussions, if daily meetings were
held. Time was required for transla
tion and study, also for committee
meetings. Neariy all the other dele
gates opposed the idea of daily sittings.
It was decided to meet every other day.
The effort of the English delegates
created much surprise and was thought
to indicate a desire to break up the
conference.
Senators Allison and Jones tttfn lulh
mitted the
AMERICAN PROPOSAlLSf ,
They submitted a resolution declar
ing that in the opinion of the confer
ence it is desirable that means be found
for an increasing use of silver in the
currency systems of the nations. A
document prepared by the American
delegates and presented with the reso
lution explained that they wished that
an opportunity be afforded to cons'dcr
their plans. At the same time they
submitted a general plan on bimetal
lism offered by the United States
showing, first, that the establishm( nt
and maintenance of a fixed parity be
tween gold and silver and the con
tinued use of both as coined money of
full debt-paying power would be pro
ductlve of important benefit to the
world. The proposal made by the
American delegates were printed in
parallel columns, one in English and
the other fin French, and were
distributed among the delegates, each
receiving a copy as he entered the con
forence room.
They called attention to the deprecia
tion in the price of silver, and violent
fluctuations in the price of gold, and
claimed that these had been injurious
tdinBIJommerclal and other economic
interests of all civilized nations, and
had caused serious inconveninces to
trade. They said the people of the
United States were almost unanimously
in favor of a full and equal use of gold
and silver at a fixed ratio to be agreed
upon by the great commercial nations.
They were aware that some other na
tions were not in accord with the Unit
ed States in this matter. As delegates
from the United States they would be
glad to hear and consider the proposals
of other nations. In order to put some
thing before the conference for conside
ration and action they submitted the
following resolution;
"That, in the opinion of this confer
ence, it is desirable that means be found
for increasing the use of silver in the
currency systems of the nations of tho
world."
The delegates of other nations then
proceeded to discuss this exceedingly
mild resolution.
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson speakirg
for the English delegates favored the
resolution.
Mr. Tiernrd speaking for the French
criticised the American delegates for
their want of promptness and firmness
in setting forth their proposals.
"He wished to say for himself and his
colleagues that they had come to the
conference with an earnest desire to
consider most cordially every proposal
tending to rehabilitate silver. They
were conscious of the great injury re-
esuiHDg to me commerce or the world
from the depreciation of silver.
The Austrian and German delegates
intimated that they had been instructed
to say that they could not assent to any
modification of their existing monetary
laws.
The Dutch, Spanish, and Mexican
delegates stated that they were ready
to vote favorably on the American res
olution, while thd Russian, Roumanian
Italian, Swiss and Greek delegates de
clare that under their instructions they
were not permitted to vote on the reso
lution. The conference ultimately resolved,
in accordance with the rtauestof Senator
Allison to postpone action on the-Ameri
can proposals until a latter stage of the
proceedings and to meet Monday to con
LINCOLN, NEB., THURSDAY,
liier the proposals submitted by Roths- J
child of the British delegation.
The American delegates expressea
themselves as entirely satisfied with
the result of the day's proceedings.
OLD SHYLOCK SPEAKS.
On Monday November 28, the third
sitting of the conference occurred, and
Alfred de Rothschild, the Jewish
banker of London, chief of the English
delegates submitted his proposals.
Ho argued at great length that bi
metallism in Great Britain is absolutely
Imnossible. and suggested that the
question arises whether it is not pos
sible to extend the use of silver gen
nr&llv. and bv this means assist in
ftheckinE' a further fall in values. Mr
de Rothschild said he did not claim
that his proposals would prove a final
solution of the question, but he did
cluim tbat they would prove a pallia
tive
Summed up, his proposals are that
America should continue her present
purchases of silver, and the European
powers Should continue to buy an
amount equal to 5,000,000 ($24,330,000)
sterling a year for five years at 430 (8U
cents per ounce). If silver should rise
above that price the purchases are to
be immediately suspended.
' The dl'.paoh continues as follows:
The submission of Mr. do Kothschild's
plan was preceded by an explanatory
memorandum, quoting his correspon
dence with the goveracr cf the Bank
of England. In this correspondenC6
the Governor says tb.it he is always
Opposed, on principle, to bimetallism
and that Mr. de Rothschild's plan is
merely a monetary palliative of ih
crisis which the fall in silctr has provoked.
The Governor adds tbat, nevertheless,
the expression of opinion is purely
personal. All other British delegates
except Bertram Currie are known to
approve the plan proposed by Mr.
Rothschild, and it is now confirmed that
Mr. Rothschild and the American delegates
are working together. ,
A DANISH GOLD-BUG.
A uanisn delegate, who is a mono
metalllst, will propose the coinage of
silver 5 franc, 4 shilling, or dollar
pieces, rated to gold according to
the price of silver in the year previous
to the adoption of an international
agreement, with a seignorage of 10 per
cent. He will also propose the appoint
ment of a permanent international
commission to fix the initial prices.
Should tbe price of silver fall to 5 per
cent below the coinage ratio the com
mission will have authority to fix a
new ratio and order the recoinage of
the pieces. These coins will be legal
tender internationally, banks to keep
them as a reserve against notes and to
have the right to demand gold in ex
change for them at any time from the
government issuing the particular coin
held.
A COMMITTEE OF TWELVE.
The Russian delegate. M. Raafial,
moved that the propasal he referred to
a small committee to consider, together
wiin ooeioer s and ievrs schemes. He
wanted this committee to discuss these
proposals in secret and report to the
conference.
The Dutch delegate, Herr Bersrmas
seconded the motion and it was unani
mously adopted.
A committee of twelve was appointed
including Sir G. freeman tie. British
Guilford L. Molesworth, India; H. W.
Cannon, United States; M. Foville,
r ranae; Jsignor simonom. italv and M
Roffolovith, with Alfred de Rothschild
and M. Levi, ex-onicio members.
The conference adjourned until t ri
day.
I he United States was represented
on mis committee by Henry w. Can
non, president of the Chase Nationil
bank of Chicago, a. gold-bug of tne
strictest sect.
Senator Stewart of Nevada in a speech
at Denver a few days ago spoki as
follows concerning the conference, and
the man who represents us on the com
mittee on resolutions:
INTERNATIONAL FRAUD.
'The fraudulent device which has al
ways been resorted to has been to pre
tend to settle this matter by interna
tional agreement. Every time the peo
ple becorre restless they are told that
me mometary question must be settled
by an international conference, and the
president of the United States recently
rcpeuwju mat louy. i aaid so at th
time he presented this in his inaugural
mstage. President Harrison said that
independentftction by the United States
wouiu ue injurious to us and beneficial
to the outside world. But he also said
that in any agreement it should be pro
vided that enough of silver must be put
into the established dollar to make it
equal to a gold dcllar.
The president hai appointed delega
tes to the international conference. It
is true that there are two silver men on
tho delegation. But the majority aro
gold mou ard they will declare for the
others or silence them altogether. The
United States is put before that con
gress as in favor of monometallism.
iou recollect the various propositions
which It is now shown are to be put for
ward before that coDgress. Thrjutrh a
subtle scheme it is arranged that the
memoers oi tne Relegations are not to

How the Wall Street Wlitaril Obtained the
Wyaudotte and Northwentero.
Kaxsas Citv, Ma. Dec 5. Superin
tendent C F. Urotherton of the Kan
sas City, Wyandotte and Northwestern
says the death of Jay Gould will not
affect the transfer of the road. It is
now practically owned by the Gould
interest, although the formal transfer
has not yet been made. The history
of this transaction is well
known. Gould was forced into
taking the road seemingly against
his will. In J 8l0 he contracted
to buy from the Northwestern con
struction company, which built the
road, a,bout $650,000 worth of the con
struction company's bonds. Of this
amount $150,000 was turned over to
him. ' The remaining $500,000 were
offered to him, but he refused to take
them on the ground that they had
been mutilated. The construction com
pany, however, claimed that Gould
knew this when he made the contract,
and it brought suit to compel him to
fulfill his contract . The attorneys
garni she;d the lissouri Pacific and
Union Pacific roads and made them
parties to the suit. This plan bade
fair to show up all of Gould s inter
ests in these two roads and make the
whole thin? public. Gould's attorneys
asked for extensions of time in vhiuh
to make answer for the two roads sev-
eral times pending an attempt at a set
tlement of th ;;:'i!8j;;,ji
Tot the construction couipauy insisted
on Gould talcing the bonds, and finally
he did so rather than have his Mis
souri Pacific and Unto Pacific hold
ings made public.
