TO WORK FOR THEGOOD OF ALL.

Edmunds Talks of the Objects of the Monetary Commission. The monetary commission resumed its sessions in Washington Thursday, with ex-Senator Edmunds presiding. Several of the members addressed the commission on financial topics. These discussions will be private, as they are mainly f*r the purpose of bringing out every phase of the monetary question. Ex-Senator Edmunds said concerning the scope and purposes of the commission: “Naturally and necessarily it may be supposed that no particular plans or changes in the laws would at present either be agreed upon or even proposed, but rather that the first labors of the commission would be devoted to ascertaining the existing condition of things, as affecting all interests of the people, and what evils or dangers now exist. The people of the Avhole country may feel sure that the commission will do nothing and recommend nothing that is intended to advance any interest or class at the expense of any other, whatever may be the public opinion in respect of the wisdom of what the commission may finally suggest to be done.”
