You ak:
When We fuse with either Of the old
parties on candidates that are pledged
to our principles, do we not get their
members 10 listen to our spcakers?'
The party with which We fuse will
hear our arguments, but a solid wall 0f
prejudice Ii built around the other
party.
You ask:
Is not the Democratic party far
more in sympethy with the principles Of
the National party than ID the Republi.
can palty?"
The Democratic party ID good Green
back party in some Of tho States, and In
somo Of the States the Democratic party
il q good national-bank party. Tho
Wing party waa good deal better Abo-
lition party than the Democratic party.
The Wing party Wa good Ab ,lition
party In the North and good pro. slavery
party in the South. The Wing party
died straddle OF the black slave, but the
slave crawled out from between the legs
Of the PROSTATE Wing party imam and
= brother"
Again you ask
''And i not that party 1.-THE Repub-
lican partyl under the control Of the mo-
nopolists to far greater extent than the
Democratic party2"
Yes, but the monopoly element Of the
Democratic party prevents anti-monop0-
lists Of tho Republican party from join
ing coalition with the Domocrats.
A majority Of the Democrats in Con-
gress vote for our principles. They know
il they don't their places win know them
no more. A minority Of the Democrats
in Congress vote with the fundholders
and the Republican party. They know
il they don't their places will know them
no more. A bill TO restore the Law just
as it was when the existing contract was
made with the public creditor, to put
silver upon the same footing - gold.
went to sleep in tho bosom Of Demo
cratic Senate. The great mass Of the
Democratic party are 0reenbacksrs,
true, honest, patriotic citizens, but they
can not give force to their convictions
until there is turning out in their own
church. Those men in the Democratic
party who have been enriched by swap
ping dollars through the means Of Re-
publican law must 60 before the great
industrial mass Of the Democratic party
can be united with those men Of other
parties whose interests are the same %
theirs.
The fund-holding and monopoly ele-
ments in the Democratic party. aud the
prejudices existing in the minds of hosts
Of honest Greenbackers against tho old
Democratic party. prevent any union Of
heart through fusion movement OF the
Greenback and Democratic parties.
Without harmony Of heart there could
be little hope Of success. Fusion with
the Democratic party and defeat only
gives the Republican party another
lease Of power and takes the backbone
out Of the Greenlack party.
In some of the southern States there
il an attempt to form . coalition with
the Republican party. ! have been
asked to give the movement my approv-
al. cannot approve the scheme. The
Republican party has no hope Of success
in the South, only by coalition with
the Greenback party. II such . coali-
ton could succeed III driving the Dtmo-
Gratis from power. the Gfeenhack party
would be eaten mp by ths Republican
rarity. Grcenbacktrs of prominence
would be "rried" into tho Re-
publican party with the lever Of
Federal patronage. / canrot favor
q coalition based upon q division Of
the offices with the Democratic party in
Maine nor with the Republicans Of Mis-
sissippi. II the Greenback party keeps
clear Of all entangling alliances it Is the
party OF the future. II we show by our
actions Gun deviation TO our principles
there will be another gener rat.on Of
dreenbackcrs, but il We fuse with the
Democrats in Maine and with the Re.
publicans in Mississippi there will bs no
standing room for the Greenback rarty
in this broad land Of ours, and its stay
will be short. Most sincerely yours,
SoL0N CHASE.
