The Urutsels Monetary Ccnlerence is prolong ing its existence simply in the hope that eomething will develop which will pre vent the complete failure of its purpose, but it has succeeded in makinjj the perils f the existing situation plain to some who had failed to see theJL The American delegates have made the crisis a pressing one by intimatine the intention of the "United States to abardon its silver purchas ing policy, and, world-wide consequences have been prophecied. Having thus sounded the alarm, the bi tneUllifts among the delegates are waiting lor the effect on governments which have been indifferent. They hope that, in con sequence of representations made during the past few days, Austria, Germany and two or three other countries will authorize their representatives to take a more con ciliatory position in the matter, but no plan commanding the general support, even ot the bi-U)etallistn amoug the delegates, ha3 yet been brought torward. Meanwhile the delegates are being most royally entertained, the social Junctions in their honor being among the most brilliant Brussels has ever seen. There arc indications that some relief of the abnormal condition which the Brussels Monetary Comerence was designed to remedy is soon to be afforded by a consid erable increase in the earth's yield ol gold The annual supply is now calculated to be 5120,000,000, of which United States mines contributed about ?34,O00,OO0. Re ports Irom South Atrica show a remarkable development ol auriierous resources during the last few months, until now shipments are on the basis ot $,000,000 per year. There has been a steady rise in South African mining securities in the Iiondon market in the last few weeks. Reports of increased production come Uoin various port of Australasia, while the Governor ot British Guian sends quite an el dorado-liEe story. That colony began producing gold in 1886, and last year mined Dearly 52,000,000. This year the output will be much larger. JL Tirard, ot the French delegation at the conference, explained the position of Prance in regard to bi-metallisni. He said that under present circumstances there is no chance to substitute bi-mctallism for monometallism. There is nothing disquiet ing in the position of Prance, which, with other Latin countries, could open mints for the coinage of silver so long as Great Britain, Germany and Ausiria hold aloof. Each country had a remedy in its own bands by increasing the coinage of silver. Follce on Guard.
