HoA. NJ. D. HARTER:-A printed
circular sent by you over the country
asking fos AN expression Of opinion
ON the present law for The purchasing
.! silver bullion by the government,
reached me, too. Though doubling
you want this answer, ] send it.
Thomas Jefferson said the art of
government was the art Of being
honest. l worked With the party
founded hy Jefferson until absolutely
sure that you and other leaders Of It
are just $50 degrees Of the circle way
from Jefferson. You know as we'll rs
I do-evsrybody knows-tls:st the
Constitution never gave Congress the
power to demonetize silver You
know that It was fra,Ednlently carried
through congress-; that Earnest Seyd
was sent over to this country by =
London and Frankfort firm OF Jewish
bankers to aid in the raid on our
constitution. You know that their
allies, puppits and hired men in
this country carried out their wishes.
And | believe you to be one of the
dastarls BOW working against his
own country, carrying out the work
begun by John Sherman, a greater
traitor than Benedict Arnold for the
benefit of the Frankfort London Jew
bank ring. Nobody ought 10 blame
the Jew bankers Of Frankfort and
London for keeping Gentiics forever
in bond, for they have been prosecuted
for twenty centuries. But for an
American to become their hired
servant or make himself member
of their ring and help to plumber his
own countrymen in order to share
the spoils. 10 word in twenty Ian
guages can furnish for him clear and
expressive name. That some de-
monetizers are honest m their opinions
well know. But your opportunities
for knowing the question thorough;
are such that l give you no such
credit. l look upon you as working
against constitutional coinage for

the dread Of a force bill kept more

nondescripts as YOU lead.
When tile country arouses itself
after the assassin like attack on consti-
tutiona! coinage was made, the Dem
ocratic party denounced demone!iz-

then it nominated the ''J"ws name,

As an American business; as A
banker who has studied the financial
problem for twenty years FROM 4

greed | think that the present Law
should stand until a return 20 the
coinage Of the constitution takes
its place. l do not see that til.
