l..ar MIR. Lawtonce-Wo have read
with much interest your letters Of July

wrong Boo thinking that the men who viii

VIII also vote against any measure for
tue bouoft of silver IL does not follow,
lfl any means, that vote 20 repeal the
suorman law commits tho man who thus
votes tu tho unu-silvor policy. For In
s.uuco, we have NO doubt that Senator

duuHuus upon tho senators and members
from tho silVCr-pruducing REGIONS. II
they viii accept uuy reasonable COM
Iuruuity OF doing 10, which will put
silver on much uriuor basis than it has
hitherto occupied, and not leave IL sub.

attitude ul certain momhcrs aud senators
In 1879. You Viii remember that we have
told you tuat they could have had a biz

and reputable silver mon AS james,
Bennett, aud othors, known 10
both OF u, will tnku charge
of tho silver movement, and muzlie
tho mon who have done o. 80 much harm
In tho past. There ~ u middle ground la
this matter that II q safe ono, aud We
silver men Will do well 10 occupy it II
woufo wise. Doubtless the silver market
viii be- unsuaiod Tor awhile, but that is
tue Of other products.
We want 20 say that u Ii my judgment
that silNor las scon IT, loves. point, and
We doubt very much N 10 will soc -

iho wisdom ~ thO silver people. Wo do
nor want you TO consider the outlook as,
Ia any degree, hoprlo,s. We do not
underestimate the Struggle There Is before
IA, but knowing he sentiment east Of
iuu Rocky Mountains as We do, aud
knowing now many mon there arc la
uuhiiu lilO who viii not vote for tho TO.
p al Of the sherman law without some
,sug suls an inl beiug done tor silver
although they Atu buiug quoted to tho

moro 10 hope for than At any time since

been through many a struggle, political
aud legislative, aud, knowing tho situa.

tquanimisy TO tho struggle that IL boz

We have written you at considerable
lcngth, because we want you 70 f0Ol that
We believe tho situation 10 be Tar better
lhan you lmagino IL, and TO DO such ~ to
warrant tho earnest effort and highest
hupo Of every friend OF silver. We will
thank you To show this letter 10 Bennett
aud James tor their consideration.
