The Appeal to Bismarck.

Governor Culbcrson of Texas having
written letter to Prince Bismarck
asking his views as to bimetallism. the
eX-chancellor has responded with a
short epistle, which is now part of the
stock IN trade of the Organizes Prince
Bismarck's letter is as follows
Friedrichsruh, Aug "a. 1896.
Honored Sir-Your esteemed favor Of
July l has been duly received. | have
always had prediction for himetal-
Ism. but | would not, While in Office.
claim my views of the matter to be in
faiiihly true when advanced against
the views of experts. | hold to this
very hour that it would be advisable
10 bring about among the nations chief
~ engaged in the worlds commerce a
mutual agreement in favor of the es-
adjustment of bimetallism.
Considered from a commercial and
industrial standpoint, the United
States are freer by far in their move
ments than any nation of Europe, and
hence, should the people of the United
States find it compatible with their in
terestS 10 take Independent action in
the direction of bimetailism. | cannot
help but believe that such action would
exert a most salutary influence upon
the contamination of international

Bismarck.
Two things will he noticed in this let
ter; First, that Bisrnarck. while con-
fnccir,,r
which he has long been known to cher
ish. modestIy adds that while in office
he did not claim his views to be in
ialhbiy true when advanced against
those of experts. Second. that Bis
marck puts in a qualifying clause that
the people of the United States might
take an independent step towards BIZ
metallism if they should find it COM
patible with their interests Nowhere
in the brief document does he assure
Governor Culberson that free and un-
limited coinage of silver at 16 to | by
the United States is bimetallism or
anything like it. Bismarck is too
shrewd man to talk free coinage; he |
keeps to international bimetallsm.
Not the most ingenious man in the
world. though fully as candid as his |
neighbors in diplomacy. Bismarck re-
Trains from remarking that in spite of
his theoretical preference for bimetal- |
llsm when he WAS the most powerful |
man in Germany. Germany is on the !
gold standard. There are many other
among public men of
Europe. but their countries not agree

Mir. Mcmillan has been especially
gratiiied AZ tn" hearty co-operation with
which he has everywhere met He SAYS
that men are anxious to aid in the
cause. lie has never seen 50 much
readiness If response. The county
chairmen are doing double duty. almost
without exception. There is a strong
public sentiment back of them and the
work through the Republican organi-
cation o. the state has never been more
effectively done than this year All of
this is in the highest degree encourage
ing. Mr. Mcmillan and his associates
on the state committee deserve great
credit for the amount Of work and the
Kind Of work they have done this year
The work has been done largely through
the distribution of literature. which
has been sent out by the ton rather
than by the pound. All silver infected
districts have been closely canvassed
and every means used to place the
facts before the people. The speaking
campaign is in progress all over the
state. everywhere the speakers are
greeted with vast audiences. and dur
ng October the enthusiasm will be kim
He'd to white heat.
Mr.. Mcmillan has given out no esti-
mates on the majority in Iowa The
state committee. he said, will work I'M
i the election to make the majority as
large as possible. He thinks that So
100 will be a good beginning and the
voters ought to raise the majority as
far above that point as possible, for
the bigger the majority the more Sc
cure will be the victory and the more
certain the prosperity to follow.
