II 1t Unprejudiced. and Can We A6osd
to Follow IT,.
Mr.. Bryan appears to set great store
by the letter which Governor Culber-
son, OF Texas, received from Prince
Bismarck. The peoples friend" is will
ing to receive advice from the Man or
Blood and Iron" and the champion OF
the American farmer" listens to that
famous friend Of American agriculture
who shut the German ports to Amsri-
can pork in 1884 and to American po-
tatoes in 1885, and who would gladly
have united all Europe in a customs
league aimed directly against all Amer
lean produce. Bismarck's rather diplo-
matte letter is taken by Mr.. Bryan In
his recent speeches to favor the free
coinage of silver by the United States.
The devotion of Chancellor Bismarck
to the cause Of silver may be seen in
the following historical fact, which APP
pears to have escaped general notice:
Under his guidance as chancellor OF
the empire and minister OF commerce
for Prussia the equivalent OF 1885,
100000 marks lover s270,000,00) in sill
yer was demonetized between the years
1874 and 1881, and over 160,0OO,OOO
worth of the bullion into which these
were melted had been sold by 1879. In
that year. finding that the price OF sill
Yer was becoming demoralized, so that
his remaining 1O9.O0O000 was depre-
fiating, he stopped sales by decree
issued in May, 1879. These points Were
frankly stated by his delegates to the
international monetary conference OF
1881, when Germany likewise offered to
suspend sales for time in order that
the price might not be further de-
pressed. With these assurances before
the monetary powers and with the de-
cree OF 1879 still in force, Bismarck saw
an opportunity of dumping some Ger
man silver on the sly and promptly pro-
ceeded to do so. In 1885 the Egyptian
government decided to change itss coin
age and invited bids for contracts to
mint secured the contract to make the
coin and incidentally furnished SO, 1S9,-
600 of silver bullion to Egypt. The mat
ter was kept very quiet or escaped gem
eral notice. Reference 20 it will be
found, however, in the London Econo-
mist Of Dec. 4, 1886. which saw in 1t
proof Of Bismarck's lack of faith in sill
yer.
With all his faults, Bismarck Is
sturdy patriot. To help the German
distiller he was willing to see trichinae
in every American pig, and to protect
the German farmer he smelled bugs on
every American potato. Germany has
to-day $107 100000 worth OF silver
whose value is declining. II the United
States could be induced to follow the
example Of Egypt and give Germany
chance to do some more unloading,
