great deal has been said abont Prince Bis
marck's letter on the silver question, ana
there is no doubt about it that he has no oD-
lection to the unlimited coinage OF silver IN
the United States, as 1T certainly cannot hurt
the silver mines III Freiberg Germany, Where
between 1000 and 5000 people are employed;
but he certainly would not ADVISE unlimited
coinage of silver for Germany, unless all the
great nations would come to an understand
ing on this subject.
1t is well known that Prince Bismarck is the
greatest protecIionist OF all the leading Ger
man statesmen but he is also much in favor
of free trade, lar the United States is
concerned, keeping foreign products as much
as possible out of his own country, but keep
ing the factories in Germany going TO their
fullest capacity to supply other nations where
free trade exists, and low tariff in other
countries enables the German manufactures to
compete with the Industries OF such countries
