puny money kings before e1dsayorlng
go assert his. financial freedom. What
! a pitieuI farce the goldbugs would have
the American giant en1o,!
These American Tories Of 1895, OF
which cur Fourteenth street contempt
rsry is . fair sample, declare that this
American giant IS 100 puny 10 dispute
with the British monetary master. The
| American Tories said the same in 1776,
when Thomas Jefferson Chen, by the
way. three years younger than the pres
en-. Democratic candidate for President
Of the United States, William ]. Bryant
wrote the Declaration of Independence.
The American g:an, was a pigmy az
tha: time compared to his European op-
pressor. but ne dedsd tina. European op-
pressor and beat him in fair battle.
WHNam Jennings Bryan and all true
! Americans who believe in their country,
declare that this same giant, now grown
so that his former European oppressors
are bu, pigmies by his side, is as able
in 1896 10 force his monetary dom as
he was in 1916 to secure his national in
dependence.
No free coinage man has sought foreign
advice. Mark Hanna's party and Mark
Hanua's Millicna.re Tory slush fund
committee are the only ones who are con-
/ trually seeking foreign advice and de-
pending upon foreign aid in his cam
Daign. The following letter from Gov.
/ Culber.son. of Texas. to Prince Bis
marck. Of Germany, explains Itself.
Gov. Cul5ertscn was no, asking Bis
warck's advice. Il was toe late for thai,
even if any American citizen had de-
sired it. The issue has long been made
lin this camp IN between he Democracy
land The Plu.ocracy. 1t has been iron
bound and can noe be changed. Gov.
| Culber.son was simply opening up the
international ayr ement" trap into
which the Republican elephant has
thrust his leg. and i. is found thar The
q. O. p. animal has been caught. The
Republican party have declared mat
: they are willing to accept bima -allism
under an International agreement. Now,
we all know that an international agree
msnt is impossible so long as it is left 10
. Europe. which is absolutely rul1 by The
gold kings. to decide upon this question.
Wall Street. which is backing Mark
Fsuna's campaign. and which IS getting
TWO for enc cut of the American people
through the gold standard, knows thai
/ The money kings Of Europe will nsver
let 90 so long as they can hold on and
that they VIII hold on until compelled
TO let so by The United States. So, OF
/ course. these gold sharks are willing to
agree 20 this international plan, which
ney believe can never be carried out.
To catch these gentlemen In this inter
national agreem, Mt trap Gov. Culbertson
wrote to the foremost statesman Of Con-
Itinental Europe, Prince Bismarck, Of
Germany. And here is the correspond
euce:
/ DALLAS. Texas. September 20.-n a
4 sueerh here Governor Culbertson read the
following significant correspondence be-
tween himself and Prince bismarck on
the money question:
prince BisInarck-Sir; The great ques-
/ zion OF finance is now of supreme inter
as. 90 the people OF the United states. IL
is presented I'm various forms. bCt IN a
general way. il may hc said. nrSt. whether

or second. whether they shall adopt bl-
motall>m with bOth gold and silver as

argumout I'm favor OF each is well known
| To- yCu but IL is particularly insisted that
we should adopt the policy OF blmct3 ll$In

Governor of Texas
/ In reply Prince Bismarck said:
"rR1FDERICHsRUHE. August 81 1896.
/ .lonored Sir: Your esteemed favor has
been duly received. I hold that this is the
very hour that would be advisable to
bring about between the nations chiefly
eneaged in the worlds commerce mu-
tuai agreement in favor Of the establish
ment of bimctallism. The United STATES
/ are frecr 10y far in their movements than
any nation Of Europe. and hence. if the
people of the United States should find it
compatible with their interests to take in
dependent action in the direction of BIZ
metausm. cannot but believe that such
action would exert a most salutary inhu-
enoe upon the contamination of interna-
tioual agreement. BISMARCK"
In other words, the great Iron Chan
C -nor. Of Germany. has more knowledge
! of and respect for the power of the
American gian, than the American Tor
les who are in this campaign fighting the
battle of the Bank of England and the
R5thschuds. for the maintenance Of the
unconstitutional gold standard and he
continued robbery of the American pro-
Queer ard laborer.
