| MORE WAGES IF BRYAN IVINS. | $ NOTICE POSTED BY tHE MANAGER OF THE J £ . CENTRAD CITY STOVE WORKS. £ | Newark, 0., Oct. 5.-Manager | I Cunningham of the Central City £ I Stove Works has posted a notice at 1 1 the factory announcing that in the event of Bryan’s election the com- £ J pany will at ohce increase wages a 10 per cent. a I I t " i » $ The Iron Chancellor For Silver. S v The fact that two different translations have been £ IE made of the now celebrated letter written by the great <c £ German statesman, Bismarck, to Ex-Gov. Culberson of W v Texas, suggested the idea of having a special transla- £ tion made for the leaders of this paper. We selected * £ the talented German scholar, our townsman, Professor • C. Haas, than whom no man stands higher for integri- 0 ® ty and ability. He is a native German, and his version WE £ is eminently correct. The following is his version: g DEAR SIR: Your valued favor of the 10th of July of > g this year I have received. I always have had a predilection £ S for bi-metallisin, without considering myself infallible in * < opposition to the experts, as I was in office. I still believe £ £ to-day that it will be recommendable for the countries J* principally engaged in the commerce of the world, to strive Jfi for an agreement in the direction of bi-metallism. £ 5 The United States are economically more free in their < government than any single one of the European states, and if North America would find it compatible with its • interests to take a self dependent step in the direction of a ‘ Jfi double standard, I believe that such a step would be of £ $ furthering influence for the establishment of an internal- 2 • ional agreement and of the following of the European countries. With the assurance of my excellent respect, I am your most devoted servant, von Bismarck. B a? The above is the strict translation of the letter from £ S Prince Bismarck to Ex-Gov. Culberson of Texas and * £ I. as well as every other person, who speaks and. reads W v the German language, must understand by it, that £ W Prince Bismarck is in favor of bi-metallism both in * Europe and America; and the United States beino 1 • more free in political economy and more self-dependent £ g in their government than any one of the European * countries, he advises immediate independent action on > the part of the United States, as he believes, that £ ® such action would precipitate international agre'nneut. * J Prof. C.
