On March 17, 1896, a resolution was passed by the British House of Commons, urging upon the English government the necessity of securing by international agreement a solid monetary pay of exchange between gold and silver. In April, 1896, a Bimetallic Congress convened at Brussels, made up of representatives from the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Rumania, and Russia, and organized a permanent committee, under the belief that there could be an immediate agreement if the United States would re-establish bimetallism, if the Indian mints were reopened for the coinage of silver, if the Bank of England would turn into s

An era of unexampled prosperity set in immediately after Mr. McKinley's election, and steadily increased during his first administration. In the party conventions of 1900 the Republicans gave a stanch support to the policy of the administration, especially on the complicated questions growing out of the war with Spain. and particularly on the one involving the future of the Philippine Islands: and the Democrats based their campaign chiefly on opposition to trusts and territorial expansion. The disposition of the Democratic leaders was to ignore entirely the silver question. The Republicans renominated President McKinley, and the Democrats Mr. Bryan, and the latter, in a remarkable tour of political speech-making, while dealing with the antitrust and imperialist features of the platform on which he was renominated, continued an earnest advocacy of the 16-to-1 silver policy

The agitation of the silver question in the United States largely influenced the Presidential campaign of 1896. It became evident in the first half of the year that the free-silver doctrine had won a large part of the Democratic party, which adopted at the Chicago Convention (July 7) a platform, the most important plank in which contained a declaration for the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver a
