Silver Pact
SIR ROBERT HO TUNG
Not Enough Condition Reported To
AMERICANS FAR FROM SATISFIED
Salt Lake City, July 25. Asserting that no silver plan is sound which does not recogn. ise silver as basic, money, Mr. Montferry, President of the American Silver Producers' As- sociation said that independant) United States' action was in- dleated quite definitely in the new agreement.
It is inconceivable, he said, that i our delegates, a fow of whom un- derstand the silver question, could be induced to agree to any plan failing to recognise allver ús pri- mary money.
The delegates carried with them to London the expressed admoni. tion of the Senate and the House of Representatives to labour un- tiringly for that..
Nothing short of that will meet with the approval of Congress. A mere cartel recognising silver as a commodity only is wholly inade- quate, although, as a preliminary step it may perhaps prove helpful. --Router.
