Advocates of international bimetallism
believe tbat when the currency ia ex
panded in a normal way by the re
monetlzation of silver, the price of cot
ton, wheat and other staples will rise
toward the point where they stood when
silver was demonetised. It is very
doubtful whether the millionaires and
bankers who control the financial policy
of England will ever agree to inter
national bimetallism because England
is a creditor nation and wants to con
tinue to draw her interest and dividends
in gold and buy wheat and cotton in the
