GaANeEv,lLE IDAHO,
No. =. 1891.
DEAR T1MEs:-l regret that you
think II inadvi.ahIe to publish IN.
letter or the lead tariff IN full; tho
more particularly as you yourself adj
mt it to b~ the main issue IL our State
politics Bu' suppose P'c"tt- and
'hs lines are both too rab,dIy Re.
publ,ran to listen to y REASONABLE
argument on living issue. l am
personally acquainted with . good
many "t'.-r men i" the lead mint R
camps Of this State who. like yours. If,
are more sensitive than we'll inf.um-d
about the |. I'D tariff, and Who d, not
want t h.sr thu truth on any sui ct
that conflicts with their selfish ,nt r.
ests aud PARTISAN affiliations.
Nob"d. hut The rsnk.s, Republican
would admit that the Republican
party is, ss ,ou claim, the friend #
silver. The Republican party DE-.
mon. tized it in 1878. They have
lover restnrrd It to its constitutional
functions. 1t is only = legal tender
friday for sums not exec. dung IS. II
!, simply . commodity, like po,st'~s,
wheat, and other truck. The Rrpub.
l'can party has controlled this governs
mrnt for II years since the CRIME
against silver was committed. They
say IL WAS consummst,d by trie kerry.
but why not, then, rs,t,r- il? Az,
friend P'cot,~. your dsmnahle pa,ti nm
ship will not permit you to listen 10
the t nth, or to admit the truth On
either 1T these propositions.
Take ,h~ tariff, aud the question OF
silver coinage out of politics, aud the
present laws would no. stand for "a
hours.
You and your Republican colleagues
all through these W. st~rn States care
a Rrea, deaf mole for the succ-4s Of
The Rel ubl'cs" parry than you care
for the lead issue or the silver iss, Q.
You are free coinsve men f.r pol.t,. .
o"ly. You are high tariff men because
il gives you a chance t. parade your
patriotism and to PROOF aim yourselves
~ b. ing more "loyai" aud more in.
It nseiy "Americsn" than the Demo.
Gratis. You pretend that your watch
word Is "America for Americans" be
cause it is good political war cry.
1t is no credit 10 be pa,ri"tic; but
i is d,sgace not to be. AMI to de
f-hd your virtue btfore il is assaulted
IS 10 confess guilt.
But. seriously, am sorry you Go
not see your way clear to publish my
article e.t're. Your partial extracts
are misleading. Knowing that it is to
Dr. THE issue in our next cam.
paign, | submitted it to you with
'"t thought Of partisan advan..
lve, thinking 1t wss = some what
ut resting presentation which might
erve to elicit the truth on \ subject
N which me" may honestly differ.
matte the most m, rcilres criticism
ou Gun give 1t through the TINES,
tut do not think i, fair ar jus, for you
. select random paragraph from |,
zero and there. aud III. n proceed TO
emolish the entire fabric of my arpu.
nent. Whv not let your r-aiers have
he entire letter, even il it, takes daily
n.,slments for a week to publish 1t?
here arr ne 20 i,ics 10 distract at. n.
ION from 1t now, and your r.an. r.
AN inform themselves of 1.-The other
idr" of this vexed question on winch
hey will be probably ssked to rxpr. s.
u opinion ut ,h- polls year hence.
n discussion there is truth.
traternally Yours.
