From this telegram you thought proper to draw conclasions highly unfavorable to the financial credit of Russia, and, as @ remedy for the imaginary evils that you enumerate, withont even endeavoring to ascertain the truth of their existence, you advise Russta “to march with the spirit of the age, to adopt free institutions, and, by doing 80, to Increase the ambition, activity and industry of her people.” Ihave wo nigh an opinion of tue equity and imparuality whieh characterize your valnable paper to question for a moment the possibility of @ refusal on your part to accept and pubitsh the fol- Jowing observations in regard to those statements, As far as the fact itself ts concerned of a new loan having been put on the London market, I am unavie either to copiradict or toattirm, although I entertain strong doubdis of the existence of a new government joan, The Nicolai Ratiway was sold last year toa private coinpany; the line was completed more than eighteen years ago, and, consequeatly, if a loan Das been Issued it could only emanate trom a private company, Without auy Intervention oO the part ol the government. ‘The statement that “the Russian government has been borrowing every year at the rate of $35,000,000 to $40,000,000 on average,’ 18 erroncous.
