Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bi-Metallism: Speech by Sir H. Meysey-Thompson, Bart., M. P. (Handsworth Division of Stafford), In Moving a Resolution Urging the Re-Assembly of the International Monetary Conference; 28th February 1893
And now, Sir, is there any remedy Is it too late to avert the evils impending over us Fortimately, I believe, that it is not. The sword is suspended over our heads by a single hair, but it has not yet fallen. There is still a way out of the difficulty by International agreement by bimetallism, or by some better plan if one can be discovered. I went to Brussels when the Conference assembled there on purpose to satisfy myself as to whether any International agreement was possible. I look upon the question as entirely a practical one, and I was not going to waste time and trouble over this matter if International agreement appeared to be impossible but, I am happy to say, I came to the conclusion that Inter national agreement was not only possible but easy, and could most certainly be arranged if England did not stop the way. And here I think I ought to point out clearly to those who have not studied the question that the reason why so many of the great countries of Europe have been anxious to adopt a gold cur reney is not because they think there is any particular virtue or advantage in a gold currency, but because they wish to Of francs.
