CAL JEwPEPPER.

The following letter was mailed to
the president on Christmas day:
SALEM, Or, Christmas, 1893.
To the President, Washington, d. c.
Sir: The extraordinary circumstances
which greet the return Of the holiday
must be my excuse for writing you.
Today is the first Christmas in the
history of Oregon when more than
two-thirds Of the people are without
employment ana more than one-third
are without .fficient means ofsupport.
Business is almost completely stagnat-
ed, money is not to be obtained, and
the debtors are powerless to avoid the
seizure of their property and their
homes, to satisfy, at small percentage
of their value, the claims of the cred
itor. Repeated appeals have been
made to me as governor of Oregon to
assemble the legislature, in order to
alleyiate the condition Of affairs and
avert the impending calamity. The
redress is, however not in our nands,
but in yours, and hence my earnest
appeal TO you. The laws of congress,
which have Disseminated against
silver and made gold alone full legal
tender money, giving to the money.
lender the privilege Of refusing both
the silver dollar and the silver
certificate, thus rendering unavailable
more than one-half of the national
currency as absolute debt-paying
money, are the sole causes of The de-
cline Of values, the paralysis of busi-
ness, and the consequent impoverish-
ment of the great army Of wage-earners
and Of the impending starvation of
their wives and children. If, when
you stood upon the eastern portico Of
the capitol on the 4th Of last March,
you had announced to the people that
you would speedily convene congress
in extra session to carry out the pledges
Of the platform to which you gave your
assent and upon which you were
elected, which declared for the "use of
both gold and silver as standard
money without discrimination against
either metal,' this widespread revul-
sion Of business, which has diminished
the yalue.of the property Of the nation
by fully one half, would never have
occurred. And, if now you would give
such advice to congress, the future
