their trusted Legislators were plumber
Ing them OF thoir sovereign properties,
and thus reducing them 20 this condi-
tion OF vassalage aud s2nseulOtti2m.
But new, Mr.. Clovelend, when the
people nrO cutting their wisdom teeth
and opening their eyes juat
a little, shall thoy DO told the Re
publican party did these things, and
under this excuse allow the prosent
remain undiSturbed? You
arc not ignorant of tao fact that the
people, on account OF the pertidious
and IRRESPONSIBLE legislation through
which Eoey have been plunder9d Of
their equai rights in their common
snd desnnilnd Of tseir sover-
eighty, have arraignsd, Judged and
condemnea that party aud deprived
them OF the principal places of suthor-
iby. And that in oruar 10 have thia
Legislation repealed, ana TO
nave their equal rights in their soyer-
eign properties restored to them, they
have sven called you by name, and
raised you up 10 your present high Pc
sitiou and commissioned you and their
Democratic congressman, all pledged
10 execute those beheSts. WIN you
and they 40 1T or will you sttempt to
amuss them with another comedy? IL
were better not played nor attempted
to be played.
Thus, for your careful confederation,
having given you cursory and gen-
arsl view OF this m6eug through which
the people have bsen plundored Of their
equal rights in their LcvoralIn proper
hes, dcspoiled OF sheir sovereignty aud
red ncsd by their Legislators, 10 con-
dition Of vassslags TO tho1e, 10 WHICH,
or TO whom they have transferred them,
and OF Whist is expected OF yeu and
them, 1 will now close this communi- |
cstion, proposing, however, az no ois"
tant day, 10 write yOu another letter
a closer and more critical
view OF some poinCs OF vast Importance
net particularly discussed in this,
am not unaware, Mr.. Cleveland,
that several at the legislators will meet
you in tho next congress, and claim
Ing to bs Democrats but VINO rre not
but shams. These Will at
tempt to thwart every movement thst
you or true Democrats may make 70
repeal the reasonable legislation acre
inbaiore specified, and every effoig t)
curb and restrain the power of the mo-
nopolists, thereby created and restore
to the people their equal right: in the
common properties. But they will be
noted and the places OF IL uat that now
know them will coon know them no
more, forever.
With profound respect for your high
office wnen administered with due re-
gard TO the equal rights and soV9f-
aignty of the people, which is true d.
and true epuolicanlsln, l
have the honor TO subscribe, with Stl
lue regard, very respectfully,

NoTE,-*Ot course, Mr.. Cleveland,
you will not suppose that l wrote these
simple truths concerning money for
your instruction. By no means. l.
write Thorn in this open letter to be !
read by others, hoping that some who |
nay read them mny be brought to un-
ierstand how this simple subject mas
)een mystifisd and abused for criminal |
purposes, Is. D. u
