1.-THE following cable message signed
by delegates to the international con-
gress, called ut Budapest by the
Hungarian minister of agriculture,
has been sent to the democratic can
didate for president of the United
States:
civilian Jennings Bryan, Head
quarters Democratic Party, Chicago,
Hive, the undersigned members
of the national agricultural congress
convened at Budapest, wish you sue
ces in your struggle against the do
mination of the creditor class, which
during the past twenty-three years
has secured, both in America and in
Europe, monetary legislation de-
structive of the prosperity of your
farmers and others.
"Should you be victorious in No.
vember we pledge ourselves to spare
no effort to bring immediate pres
sure upon our respective govern
ments to cooperate with the govern
ment of your great nation in res tor
ing silver to the worlds currency.
I'VE believe that, failing such re-
storation, the gold premium through
out all Asia and South America will
continue to rob the farmer equally
of America and Europe of all rewards
for his toll and that your election
may avert from Europe serious
agrarian and social troubles now
pending.

speech here Saturday night Governo:
Culberson read the following signi.
ficant correspondence between him.
self and Prince Blsmark on the money
question:
Prince Bislnark-Sir: The great
question of finance is now of supreme
interest to the people of tue United
States. 1t 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, second whether
they shall adopt bimetalllsln with
both gold and silver RS the standard,
or primary money. The argument in
favor of each is we'll known to you,
but it is particularly insisted that we
should adopt the policy of bilnetal.
lism because the supply of gold in
the world for coinage is insufficient
to meet the demand, or because such
a standard will still further depress
the value of all property.
Which, in your Judgment, is the
best policy to adopt, the gold stan.
dard or bimetallism? What effect, in
your Judgment, will the immediate
adoption of bilnetallism by the United
States have on the cause of bimetall:
ism in Germany and othe great com
mercial nations.
G. A. CULBERsoN,
Governor of Texas.
FRIEDRICHsRUHE, Aug. "a, 1885,
Honored Sir: Your esteemed favor
has been duly received. l hold that
this is the very hour that would be
advisable to bring about between the
nations chiefly engaged in the
worlds commerce mutual agree
ment in favor of tile establishment oj
of bimetallfsm. The United States
are freer by 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 independent action
in the direction of bimetallism, can.
not but believe that such action
would exert most salptory influence
upon the eonsnMation of an interna
tional agreement.
