Correspondence between Hon. III.
M. Strong and Hon. Owen King
MINERAL POINT, Wis., July -, 1878.
Hon. OWEN KING,-My Dear Sir:
/ congratulate you upon your noml-
nation rs candidate for Congress,
and the voters of the Third Congress
sional District upon the opportunity
Which your nomination gives them,
Of taking an important step in the
direction Of obtaining relief from the
runiouS taxation which manulac-
turing monopolies have 50 long inIlic-
ted on the country by means Of high
protective tariffs, and from the oppres-
sions Of the money power, by opera
tion Of the financial measures Of the
Il. $. Government.
The revenues derived by the gov
crnment from duties on imports for
the fiscal year ending June 3Oth, 1877,
We're S13O,056,1 03.07. To obtain this
sum il is estimated that the amount
paid by the people, for the increased
cost of articles subject to duty exceed
ed $S50O,000,000; while it is notorious
that the interest ON bonds from the
use of National Bank Notes is many
millions more.
1t is Of the first Importance that all
who agree in the policy of substitu-
ting u revenue tariff for protective
tariff, and in substituting greenbacks
for national bank notes, and in Wiping
out the entire banking monopoly
should ignore all dead issues, and
unite in one harmonious effort TO
elect Il representative in congress
who will vote to carry out this policy.
That our present representative
will not SO vote is unfortunately, too
well known, and that he viii be re-
nominated by his party is conceded,
Ills reelection can only be prevented
by the united cooperation Of all who
desire TO prevent ii. Such union il
cordial and thorough, would be GER
tain to effect that result.
The vote in this congressional dis
| trict ut the last election for Governor,
was for smith Irep.l 1920; against
him 1857, majority against him
t,I37. tscc Blue Book lS7S-page 1851
Now the practical question is, can
this aiority vote of those who are
opposed to the political principles OF
llazclton be consolidated, so as to be
Gust unitcdly forSomootherc candidate,
Who viii more truly represent their
principles.
