Aug. q, 1854
Ihev received sum thousands of letters from
my my DIN Dllnocrato friends from all parts Nv the
kentry, Wlch, ez cannot find time or postage
stamps, to answer persnelly, / do thro the me.
jun Nv the publik press
wood seJest that Dimocrats wich git ther
1Tehds 10 write me queries on politikle matters
shood enclose stamp two to enshOOr an
early reply Bascom don't use stamps, but he
KIN sell EN- 10 Pollock, and Bigler, and the iron
ulll over on the Run, and he SEE he will take
EN- Nv me FUR drinks, tur to 20 to the trubble NV
lnthln Nv EN- INTO money is better than to
cnafge mp wat consoom Hereafter no letter
VIII be answered wich does not contane at least
one 5-oent stamp / kin yootilize EN-, as Bascom
nez agreed 10 make one 5-center the price Nv
one sustaneT, layln down the stamp iist afore
he sets out the bottle, to prevent mistakes. Mr..
Bascom hez strong desire TO sell his likker,
but he lacks faith in hOOman uacher
lie wants cash afOre he sets the bottle out
Nwloh is generally inconvenient, es the man who
hez the llyeest thirst is the identicle teller wat
never Lez the cash. Thirst and cash seldom
goes together. Thirst is no respecter Nv persons.
IL comes alike to him wch kin pay for asswag-
ers and him wlch can not. Credit is the main
Stay OF inolVlJJIes ez well ez uy States. But
Bascom is not a politikle economist and don't
understand the principles Nv things.
But to my answers:
Young Dlmocrat POseyville, Injeany: Fur
jim Blame 70 have his son go about Visitin
Boards Of Trade, and sich, and gittiu his name
into the noosepapers, is takin unfair advantage
OF our noole standard baTeT. ex-Sherin Cleve-
land. IL is not shiYelrous. Grover Cleveland
hez son, it is troo, that is he is PERSONNEL TO
heV wun though he sez il ism Z GER ain precisely,
eZ wlch nv the four It's father RELY wuz Any
now, SLerIn CIevelands S son isn't NV that per
tikeler kind the father Nv wich would keer to
heY goIn about the kentry claimin TO be
MS son, OWN to the unfOTchnIt CirCum-
stance that he wuZ born when ex-Sheriff
Cleveland "uz glddy, wild yooth NV only AZ
summers and about the same number Nv very
hard mlnters, and he wuznt percisely married
TO lis sons mother. The Rev Henry Ward
BeeheT doesn't mind little thing like that,
and ia the interest Nv purity ignores it, but he
ISL eRssacIly quOtable authority on sich delikib
matters. he knows how it is himself and his
word don count. While eX-SheriH Cleveland
Is undoubtedly innocent in this matter Marian
Halpln Is undoubtedly guilty. Apply to this
Mr.. Beecher

estid in manutaktrin. Eff ! am kerrect that is
wat yoO want to do Eff on the other hand [

str0od; cOnstruktid. in fact, so that Henry Wat

insist that Hendrix wuZ a out and out secesh-
mist, and reed his speeches durin the war to

hood, insist that he Wuz merely an uphOlder
the constOOshnel rites NV the South but he wuz
ez loyal eZ anybOdy only ditferin with the beest
IlnEln ez 70 methods. Whether yOO reed his
speeches dOorln the war to your aWiinCes or not
depends entirely on the kind NV people VOC are
talkin TO. However, insist upon reform strenu-
ously.
Strikt Purity, Kokomo, Inieany: Ex-Sheriff
Cleveland hez no past but Marian HalpIn. His
record is boy Of about II yeeTs Nv age, wich
bis name II IS Oscar Folsom Cleveland. EX-
Sheriff Cleveland wuZ a thOtlis yCOth NV a
yeers Nv age when this happened it bein one Nv
the pardonable excesses NV q mere boy sowing
his wild oats. Pay no attenshun to the eX-
Sheriff IS past. In fact, amt shoor but wat it
wood be well to assert that he never wuz "a Dim
ocrat. IN most seckshuns Nv the kentry that
wood be to his credit, and wood 20 a CRATE way
toward inspiring confidence in him. I wunst
knoWd man wich he'd too much respect for
ms VIE TO ever stay at home. Let us be ekaly
magnanlmous to cN-SheTiH Cleveland. He is
comparatively moo, and ther aint no yoose in
saddlin our record onto him.
Persnel Liberty: Read ex-Sherif Cleveland's
letter NV acceptance and yOO viii be satisfied.
The question Nv 1kker don't JprOperly enter into
this campane, but the ex-Sherih hez put himself
On record ez lntfeXIbly IN favor Nv everything in
the way NV free whisky everywhere. Urge this
IL the whisky shops and beer 'slOons, but say
nothin about it anywhere else
Fiat Money, Cass, Pa: The posslshen nv the
Dmocr1sy on the money question is the same ez
Oh the tariff. Ef You viii tell wat yOOr
voters want Will answer definitely. / shood
Jedge from your letter that 700 bleeve in fiat
money. Eff ! am right then l hev to say that
the DlmOcrisY holds that a dollar is ANYTHING
700 choose to call dollar. Paper makes perhaps
the best dollars, becoz printing Is now very
cheap, and paper still cheaper Paper, sootable
Tor money, kin now be he'd for about is cents a
pound All we want is for tho Government to
buy paper and print onto it this is a dollar"
with the cut a dog waJohin a safe to inspire
corhdense, and then pass a law compellin
people to take 1t for dollar, and thar you are.
Manufakturer Westerly, r. J.: The DimoC-
r1sy Aez never he'd but one lice eZ to money. |
Money means wat the world recognizes eZ

dollar, even though YOU put onto it a cut nv |
dog Yatchip a safe. The printed dog and safe |
ain no more reel dog and safe than the paper |
dollar is a reel dollar. The DimOcrisy is for |
honest money.
Honest Count" AshtabuIa. Ohio: The Df- |
mocrisy will insist that the ColOred voter in 4
