Th" RiCh Mans Panic.

NEW loEK, July ga special to
the world fromRtlrigh, y. {, says that
S"nat Or XrOulOn i. Vance to-day made
public an open letter which he has
written to the Farmers Alliance. In
his letter Vance says that he is pleased
at the action OF the Alliance IN urging
the Senators and Representative to
stand by the present silver purchasing
law until some satisfactory substitute
can br aGdoptpd. lie says that years
ago he nrgrd upon the farmers the i'm
pUrtance o! such organization as would
enable thcin to make their vast, but
dlHJoin'ed, strength felt promptly and
efficiently in legislation and the pres
"rvation Of silver ~ the currency is a
vital iSSHe. lie declares that the use
"I silver and gold on equal terms as
the basis of our currency is a necessity,
and asserts his determination of yeild-
ing nothing to the mOnOpolists who
have created the panic so induStriously
advertised, and which will hereafter be
known as the rich mans panic. Vance
says, in conclusion, that the hope of
ingratiatlng himself with the President
to secure patronage has not affected
him, nor does he believe it will operate
far in the effort to secure the repeal
of the Sherman law.
