MORE THAN FREE SILVER WANTED.
Continuing the letter saws.

When you have courted the favor OF the two
Wall street parties long enough and have been
betrayed often enough TO convince you that you
cannot gather grapes of thorns nor figs of this
ties. you will still find us battling for free coin
age; The doors of our party will still be open
to all earnest, patriotic men, who are willing to
aid us to this aud other necessary reforms
But we cannot Join any party which en-
braces free silver alone, leaving Wall
street in the saddle with full power
to oppress this poor with all the machinery now
in the hands so thoroughly perfected. In our
opinion the single plank for free coinage Of
silver is too narrow to cover the important ques.
tons vitally connected with the industrial
slavery which now threatens the country. But
there must be provision for control as to money
land and transportation, and to prevent the
homes of the people from being spoliated and
confscated by alien or cooperative money
power. On proper platform like this we are
anxious TO welcome all earnest and patriotic
citizens. Respectfully yours,

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May 22.-Some
secrets of the lodge room are developing in
q suit brought by Harriet F. Hayes against
the Masonic Mutual Benefit Society to re-
cover money on an insurance policy held by
her late husband. Curmacan Hayes. The
defense set up that Hayes was expelled from
his lodge. Answer Is made that the eKpul-
sion was due to the malice OF John Medaris,
agent OF the defendant, acting in concert
with Brookston Lodge No. 60, f. aud A. M.

the lodge, fled the charges, prevented
hayes from having fair hearing, and re-
jected evidence offered by him. She pro-
poses to bring the secret minutes of the
lodge into open court in support Of her
claim.

THIRD PARTY AND SILVER

The Remaining Four Congressman OF

and Their Views Unobtainable-The
Seven in Favor of Unlimited Coin
sge OF Both Money Metals.
DENVER, Col, May 22.-The Rocky
Mountain NetCs publishes the following to-
day: Nv. II. Slater chairman OF the ex-
ecuttve committee of the Colorado Silver
League, some time ago addressed individ-
ual letters TO eleven members of the Peo-
pies party In congress asking their views
and position on the question OF free and un-
limited coinage of silver. To-day a COM
blned reply signed by seven members, the
remaining four being absent from Washing
ton and unable to be reached, was received
from Washington. II is in part as fol-
lows:
Your letter of April 80. 1892. addressed to the
members Of congress of the Peoples party now
IN this city, with the accompanying Documents,
has been received and carefully considered. In
reply we beg to say that we are in practical ac-
cord with you on the subject OF the free coinage
of silver. We do not consider it full solution
OF the money question but as an important
step in the right direction With
TINS view our party and its lead
ers and teachers will uniformly work and
vote for equal legal treatment Of the two money
metals and We will not cease TO so tea n, work
and vote until both are freely and equally coined
alike, or until both ara nike demonetZed. In
our opinion the worlds demands for money
have far outgrown capacity OF metals to supply
them and our principal reliance hereafter must
be on the legal tender note. Yet deem
ing it unwise TO demonetize and
depreciate the value OF our own
products, and deferring TO the customs of
b,OOO years, we favor a continuance OF both gold
and silver as money matals both freely coined
to the utmost limits of their supply and both on
the same legal footing as money with each
other and with the United States treasury
