SILVER IN GERMANY
International Monetary Con
gress Proposed.
BIMETALISM . UNDER DISCUSSION
Resolutions Adopted Instractlnc the
federal Government to Issue la
vltattons to Other Nations.
Berlin, Feb. 16. The silver question
in the United States and Europe has
been the subject on which the political
and financial worlds in Berlin have been
chiefly occupied during the past week.
The financial troubles in the United
States are followed here with the closest
attention and the National Zeitnng,
Cline's Journal and other newspapers
have commented at various lengths upon
the situation at Washington. .
Wednesday night, during the subscrip
tion ball at the Royal opera house, the
emperor showed the interest he felt in
the matter by engaging in a lengthy con'
versation with Mr. Bunyon, the Ameri
can ambassador, on American financial
affairs. The conversation touched on the
tariff and political questions, but his
majesty asked to be informed more es
pecially about the financial crisis, the
coinage troubles and the gold reserve in
the national treasury. On receiving the
information sought, he expressed a hope
that financial matters in Mr. Rnnyon's
country would be soon straightened out
again. He also took occasion to refer to
the close commercial relations bet wee u
Germany and the United States.
An important phase of the silver ques
tion was reached today, when the reich
stag declared in favor of the resolution
submitted yesterday by Count von Mir
bach, an agrarian leader, summoning an
other international conference on the
currency question. Mirbach's resolution
instructed the federal government to
issue invitations . for an international
monetery congress, to take action for the
rehabilitation of silver as a circulating
medium. P.evious to its adoption,
Count von Posadowsky-Wegner, secre
tary of state for the imperial treasury, in
behalf of the government, declared its
sympathy with the object aimed at by
the resolution. ' The resolution, which
was submitted to the reichstag by Mir
bach, had received the signatures of an
unusually large number of the 210 mem
bers of that body, comprising conserva
tives, national liberals, ultra-montaines,
and members of other parties. Among
the signers' were to be found not only
the names of professed ' bimetalists, but
other members who have heretofore
maintained a more or less neutral atti
tude on the question of bimetalism.
One of the signers was the son ot Prince
Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor.
The bimetalists who signed the motion
want nothing more 6r less than bimetal
ism. But they have been prevented
from formulating a motion to that effect
by the opposition of their moderate col
leagues, who did not desire an alteration
of the gold currency. There is a sub
picion afloat that the support of the lat
ter is not entirely genuine, but has as its
motive a desire to bring about an inter'
national conference, whose decision,
they believe, would be adverse to the re
instatement of silver, and thus settle the
question for some time to come. The re
sult of the debate was fore-shadowed
yesterday, when Prince Hohenlohe in
dicated the attitude of the government
in a carefully-worded declaration, which
he read, as follows :
"Without prejudicing our imperial
currency, one must confess that the dif
ference in the value of gold and silver
continues to react upon our commercial
life. Following, therefore, the tenden
cies which lead to the appointment of a
civil commission. I am ready to con
sider, in conjunction with the federal
Highest of all in Leavening
i jf j rv
government, whether we cannot enter
upon a friendly interchange of opinion
as to common remedial measures, with
the other states that are chiefly inter
ested in maintaining the value of silver."
When Mirbach's motion came up in
the reichstag this afternoon in its regu
lar order, the discussion was resumed by
Siegel, a national liberal. He opposed
the resolution, and urged that the im
pression should not be created abroad
that the reichstag considered the existing
monetary system nnsuited to the inter
ests of Germany. He was convinced that
Great Britain wouldtake no part in any
international agreement for the introduc
tion of a double standard. I.euschner, of
the reichspartie, declared be was in
favor of an international conference,
which, he was fully persuaded, would
adopt the - principle of bimetalism.
Bichter, of the, people's party, said that
Hohenlohe was temporizing. His atti
tude indicated a desire on the part of the
government to bow before the agrarians.
This vacillation was a danger in such an
important matter. The present.resolu-
tion was an agrarian intermezzo, preced
ing the principal act by the protectionist
resolution of Count von Kanitz. If he
got nothing, the agrarians would stir up
such discontent as would not be allayed
by 10 anti-revalution bills. Count von
Posadowsky-Wegner, who followed
Bichter, said that it was not denied that
the ever -falling price of silver was preju
dicial to industry and to the German
silver mines. Consequently the decline
tended to deprive a large body of work-
ingmen of their means of subsistence.
tence. Even monometalists admitted
that the depreciation in the price of
silver wae hurtful. Continuing, he
added:
The premier and minister of finance
of France had stated that France mast
revert to the double standard and that
Germany was responsible, because she
first began the use of the silver standard.
The rural population believed that the
fall in the price of silver was answerable
for the fall in the value of the product.
This opinion was shared, moreover, by
many manufacturers. Therefore, it was
the duty of the government to return a
benevolent answer to the question which
had been put by a majority of the reich
stag." This utterance was greeted with much
conservative cheering. Von Kardoff, a
well known champion of the law, de
scribed bimetalism as a protection to the
German peasant classes as a sure bul
wark against socialism. This remark
was greeted with deiisive laughter from
the socialistic benches. The chief op
position against a double standard came
from the privy councilors in the minis
terial departments. Count Wegner here
arose from bis seat and declared that the
chiefs of the departments were responsi
ble for the policy of the departments.
After a speech by Meyer, which elicited
a reply from Von Kardoff, the motion of
Mirbach was put to the bouse and car
ried, amid load applause from the mem
bers of the right. The motion was car
ried by the united votes of the conserva
tives and centrists, and, with a few ex
ceptions, the national liberals.

which were taken from the banks' ac

the managers of the syndicate decline to
confirm the report, that the syndicate
has sold $30,000,000 worth of bonds 11,
leaving only $2,500,000 more bonds to

that only a comparatively small portion
of the bonds would be offered for sale, as
