quickly 1olioN the eiection OF William
]. Bryan as president, and the restora-
ton of free silver coinage in the United
States, is clearly demonstrated by the
following letter, written August "a,
1896, by Prince Bismarck of Germany.
and by the declaration of the interna-
tional agricultural congress now In
session at Buda-Pesth. Hungary, the
latter declaration being embodied in 8
cablegram sent by members of the con-
gress to William J. Bryan These dec
larations in favor of bimetallism. COM
ing from such distinguished sources,
cannot fail to prodace the first genuine
political sensation of the present cam
paign and effectively spike the repub-
lican platform and republican asser-
lions that this country cannot change
the monetary system of the world.
They mean that the election of Mr..
Bryan win be hailed by the great agri-
cultural and middle classes of Europe
as a key TO the opening Of the mills Of
Europe, as well as America. to silver as
well as gold, and consequent relief to
the paralysis which is affecting the ag-
ricultural, business and laboring
classes in Europe as well as in the
United States. They give the lie to the
goldbug argument that the present
agitation will operate against interna~
tional bimetallism and tear to tatters
the republican platform plank which
pirates about the inability of the United
States to take the lead In restoring the
money of the people to its former place
in the monetary system of the world.

bimetailism was written in response

the people of the United States. It Is
presented in various forms, but in a
general way it may be said to be,
first, whether the United States shall
adopt the single gold standard, or. sec
ond, whether they shall adopt BIZ
metallism, with both gold and
silver as the standard. or primary
money. The argument in favor Of each
