LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Inception of the FOree Bin.


To the Editor Of the EVENING JoUssAL.
Sir; There are many people, doubtless,
who comprehend the inception Of the
Force bin, but at the same time probably
. large majority of persons have failed TO
locate In whose mind the success OF the
scheme is most cherished, and also the
direfrl results which would ultimately
follow the forceful enactment
Of such law. which is
doubtless antageuistic to the sentiment
OF three fourths 81 the American nation Ii
Is we'll known thSt the most corrupt wing
Of the Republican party is ,fanatically
bewitched by the scheming Vaccinations
OF one man. just as a family, a city dis
trict, a community or province Is
mastered, noElded ard carried by the will
power, or the good or bad genius Of some
presiding spirit, SO is the majority olEthe
Republican Senators and Representatives
in Congress to-day almost as helplessly
ia the scheming meshes Of one man as
bird that is being charmed by q snake.
aud just as surely will that party be
envelope5 in destruction unless there are
some true, staunch brave Republicans
to break away from that influence and
save Republicanism, which would other
wise be. at least temporarily, swallowed
up by the monarchial decree, otherwise
kno wn as the Force bill That war
would inevitably follow this monarchial
decree there is little reason to doubt, for
it means simply a continued and in
creased draft. By taxation, on the bone
and snew of the country, and to keep a
OF of political drones N idle
ness, and to empty the Golfers
of the nations wealth into the
pockets Of a favored few, and to debauch
one man into the Presidency in 1882 who
10 reluctantly stomached by the best men
in his own party and almost unanimously
dlstrusted by every man whose senti.
ments are in sincere consonance with
Americanism To recapitulate: The
Force bill would eventually cause war
because all history. Biblical, ancient and |
has proven that when the will OF |
the majority is suppressed by the minor
itV, that revolution follows. That in |
this instance the will of the minority is |
opposed by the will of the majority of the |
same nation, and Is not parallel with the |
case of Great Britain against Ireland, for /
here the force and power of the msiority |
IS the greatest for oppression against /
different nation Here, the majority Is /
On the side OF right aud Justice And |
asst, but not least, this country is not so
rotten that the people cannot govern |
by means of good representa-
i've servants, and must depend on q
half breed, who processes to
