cents, ham and bacon 40 cents, butter 10
cents and American Loaf SUGAR Is cents per
pound each, was a study which would have
made the most sanguine populist weep.
The fact Is that all this talk about
Mexico being a cheaper country to live in
thsn is the United States. on account OF its
being a silver country, is pure bosh.
There Is not, we venture to assert, a
single American-born laboring man in the
United states today who would be willing
to live as does the average workingman In
this country. They are not used to it, and
the climate there does not permit 1t.
ut is certainly true, as the silver men
proudly assert, that the laborer in Mexico
lives cheaper than does his brother in the
United States, but what does he eat? Corn
bread and beans; and sleeping costs next to
nothing. 1t is certainly high time that the
truth was written concerning the compari-
sons referred to.

In his speech at Philadelphia Mr.. Bryal

enemy to good government is against fret

A man who aspires to the highest Office il
tho gift of the people should be careful
in his statements. There are enemies o
good government among the opponents o
Mr.. Bryan, to be sure, but they are not al
there by any means.
Among the notorious enemies OF good gov,
eminent in the United States none is moro
conspicuous than Tammany hall, and Tam
many hall in this campaign Is supporting
the cause of free silver.
He who debauches primaries for the pur-
pose of substituting political bossism for q
fair expression of the will of the people
is an enemy Of good government, and the
most vicious manipulators of brace" pri-
maries in Chicago are not only supporting
the cause of free silver but are using
brace" primaries to advance the cause.
Those who are attempting to turn back
the progress Of civilization and substitute
the spells system for the merit system nre
enemies of good government, and Mr.. Bryan
hiIasclf openly invites all such persons to
his support.
The issue before the American people at
this time is too important to be treated
with anything but the utmost candor and
sincerity, and, fortunately for Mr.. Bryan
neither the strength nor the weakness of
the free silver" argument is in anywise
indicated by the wholly irrelevant oircum-
stance that some bad men are opposed to
it and some equally bad are in favor OF
it.. Mr.. Bryan ought to be a good enough
lawyer to know that such immoderate eX-

BISMARCK.

BISMARCK.
Examination of these two translations
will show at a glance to what extent
the silver fakirs have distorted and in
t%erpolated what Bismarck really wrote.
In the Culberson translation Bismarck
is represented positively and dogmat-
ically asserting: 81 hold that this is the
very hour that it would be advisable to
bring about between the nations chiefly
engaged in the worlds commerce a mu-
tual agreement in favor of the establish
ment of bimetallism." What Bismarck
did say was: 81 have always had Il
prediction for bimetallism. but while ]
was in office would not consider myself
infallible in opposition to experts. / be
mcndable to obtain by e~ndeavOrS ~
those nations chiefly %partaking in the
worlds an agreement in the
direction of bimctallism."
In the next sentence of the letter there
is an even more material change. In the
Culberson translation Bismarck was
made to say: "Hence if the people of
the United States should find it COM
patible with their interests to take in
dependent action in the direction of hi
metallism, i cannot but believe that such
action would exert a most salutary in
fiuence upon the contamination Of an
international agreement" What Bis
marck did say was: "If North America
should find it compatible with it's in
tereSts to take Il substantial step in the
direction for b%imetallism, l believe that
such would eXert n beneficial influence
upon the establishment of an intcrna-
tional agreement and the union of the
European states"
1t will also be observed that in the
Culberson alleged translation the words
independent action were forced into
the text. Those aware of how the word
''independent'' has beer used in connec-
ton with bimetallism in this campaign
can readily see why this Interpolation
was made.
The real Bismarck letter gives express
sion simply to the writer's belief in the
theory of international bimetallism and
his hope that an international agreement
may soon be reached with the co-opera-
ton of the United States. Garbling Bis
marck so as to bring hin into the ranks
pudiationists is an outrage upon the eX-
chancellor and one that every honest
German-American should resent.
