HARTER HIT HARD.

George Wilson is the president of
the Lafayette County (Mo. Bank, M.
D. Harter, the champion goldbug
crank, in Congress from the State of
Ohio, sent him his last crank circular
calling upon all bankers to ''be up and
doing" or the silver vandals would
overrun the country. This is the way
the Missouri bank president dressed
him down:
"HoN. NJ. D. HARTER:-A printed
circular sent by you over the country
asking for an expression of opinion on
the present law for the purchasing of
silver bullion by the Government reach
ed me, too. Though doubling you
want this answer, I send it. Thomas
Jefferson said the art of government
was the art of being honest. I work
ed with the party founded by Jeffer-
son until absolutely sure that you and
other leaders of it are just $50 degrees
of the circle away from Jefferson.
You know as well as do-everybody
knows-that the Constitution never
gave Congress the power to demonetize
silver. You know that it was fraudul-
emily carried through Congress; that
Ernest 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 their allies, puppets
and hired men in the country carried
out their wishes, and I believe you to
be one of the dastards now working
against his own country, carrying out
the work begun by John Sherman,
greater traitor than Benedict Arnold,
for the benefit of the Frankfort-Lon
don bank ring. No body ought to
blame the bankers of Frankfort and
London for keeping Gentiles 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 i'll order to share the
spoils, no word in twenty languages
can furnish for him true and clearly
expressive name. That some demone-
Tiers are honest in their opioions 1
well know. But your opportunities
for knowing the question thoroughly
are such that l give you no such credit.
81 look onyou as working against
constitutional coinage for what there is
in it for you. voted for Mr.. Cleve-
land once, but he had not then shown
himself what he has since, the Laun-
celtic Gobbo of Rothschild. Though
my great-grandfather was a friend and
neighbor Of Jefferson, my grandfather
a friend of Jackson, or, rather, may
say, because of that and because of be-
ing a pedigreed Democrat, I believe
in principles, not men, 4 voted straight
Peoples party ticket last fall. Ihave
kin in half the Southern States, and
am sure that the dread of force bill
kept more than one State in the South
from refusing to follow where such
political nondescripts as you lead.
"When the country aroused itself
after the assasssin-like attack on con-
stitutional coinage was made the Demo-
cratic party denounced demonstration
for twenty years as crime; then it
nominated Launcelto Gobbo Cleveland.
If Thomas A. Hendricks, whose friend
ship l had the honor to have, was
Democrat then you and Gobbo Cleve-
land are not Democrats,
GAS an American business man, as
a banker who has studied the financial
problem for twenty years from broad
er standpoint than personal greed,
l think that the present law should
stand until return to the coinage of
the Constitution takes its place. I do
not see that the Constitution gives
gold mine owners monopoly of fur
nishing and handling the only thing
that will pay q debt.
"The country in which live has
large debt. When it was made all the
gold and silver in the world could have
been turned into American money at
the desire of the owners. We pay
thatssdebt with wheat, corn, hogs, cat
tie and other products of the farm.
