TIE SILVER QUESTION.


Tht Hon. LARD n. ma
My DEAR SIR: l beg lenve to say to you that
I am very glad to SEQ that you favor debate on
the Silver bill in tho Senate.
Tho recent elections show that the people
arc dissatisfied with tho action OF tho House
on silver recoinaGc and do not approve OF tho
way that the Democrats were bulldozed in tho
waving OF tho bloody shirt by the New York
World Tho attempt OF tho leaders and Mug
wumps In this State to ignore the West and
South and to forcclose the mortgage on tho
party OF the fat Claimant and Mugwumrs will
PROBABLY lead to the reelection OF Harrison
The position of the money power and its prin-
ciplcs nro beyond doubt and the people are for q
dead certainty rather than for pig in a poke
or darby In woodpilo. Look Mt the con-
diton to which tho decline in silver has
brought the producers OF this country.
The commerce and trade OF England. rs we'll
rs OF this country. are paralyZed by the contin-
nod depression OF silver and the continued
and prolonged depression also Of cotton. iron
wheat. lead. and copper. The depression In
these products teaches the people Of this coun-
try IN object lesson. Every year the people
are having their noses ground to finer point
on tho goldbug Grindstone. John Bull too. is
lin n Hole" and tho trouble. when it
does come. will. like the Barring scram-
bio for gold. come from England. The
cotton mills OF Manchester and Birminc-
ham must go down in tho irrepresslble con-
ilict with tho money power and cheap silver.
You know well, Senator. that unsettled Ques-
tions have no regard for the repose OF man
kind. The whole world s suffering. not from
ovcrproduction: but under-consumpton and
scarcity of gold and its increased demand and
purchasing power. The gold reserves OF the
nat fh,,v nl pni tn hn
lency is held as money reserves OF ultimate
redemption, Let us imagine. therefore. the
OF III sSa1 @
knE demand thas the ESeorie shall make
more bonds and stocks listed on the Now York
stock Exchange payable in gold than the total
reserves in the whole universe. And yet Wal!
street goes on piling up credits IN bonds and
drafts. Nc.l without stopping to think OF the
day OF Judgment or redemption. When will
the inverted pyramid now dancing on its apex
torple over md disappear like vapor or the
palace Of Aladdin in q night 49,,
Like YOU, senator was born near the birth,
IaIe Of thy glorious sons OF rompey ana me-
ana steer by the ruddsr Of the good ship De-
You Well know that the people. the producers.
are being driven to the wall by, the money
power. This is a mcr,curial country; and the
wrongs are no longer to be endured What
they need as against the money-power mo-
nopolists is a great leader with the indomita-
bic and fearless spirit Of Andrew jackson IN
his fight against the great money monopoly of
tho United States Bank.
l am confident that you are tho man for the
times. You are the gladiator OF the Democ-
Incy. The money power may o, put the
there is n day of reckoning coming. as
sure rs there is Il God in, heaven. You.
senator. are yet young. and you have tho
southland West with you The time will soon
come whom the West and South will dictate
tho Legislation OF this country. You will then
be. il not now. til" idol of the ulltorrrined
Democracy. You can afford to wait for
n! !r' people. to awaken from their lelharg}y:
The Stuffed Prophet. too. will probably
BE- put UP e be Knocked down again. He en-
tered the White House without dollar. but
b! truckling to the money power came OUT
worth millions. He too. can afford to wait
TIL he recognizes that the masses OF the peo:
PIE Of this country arc being Impoverished
and driven TO the wall by the careful way in
which he has assiduously trucklcd to the
money; power monopolists and kissed the big
toe of the golden calf. ! have the honor to be,
Senator HILL your obedient servant.
