ENID, Oklahoma Territory.

ENID. Oklahoma Territory.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Thinking that it would
be . pleasure to the family of Col L.
L. Polk to hear of the high estimation
IN which he stood with Southern born
people resident in Kansas, is my
excuse for writing you. He gained
great influence over the people
of that State, and his teach
ingS of non sectionalism were &C.
oepted 10 great degree. He always
attracted the largest audiences
wherever he spoke, and he, more
than any other man, has the
credit of defeating John J. In
gals, who is himself almOst a Cicero.
Whereas, before Col, Polk spoke in
Kansas, Southern men and their wives
met much coldnOaa, and often insults,
in society. Afterwards o new condi-
tion of social feeling existed, and many
unpleasant sayings and acts ceased to
exist, and Determinations on account
OF which side one was on during the
war, were generally disrsgarded. I
have heard of one notable illustration
of this allegation. An ex Confederate
soldier who had resided in Kansas If
teen years and had never informed
anyone of the fact that he was Con-
federate soldier, because he either
feared or did not think it prudent to
do 80, lived in a state of dread. After
the revolution in sectional feeling
wrought by Col. Polk this mans ap-
prehensions were dissipated, and for
the first time his neighbors learned
that he upheld the Lost Cause. :"
Whilst accomplishing this good, Col,
Polk was regarded as staunch Demo
crat, representing the sentiment OF a
majority of white people and ex-sol
diers Of the South. and without that
prestige, perhaps, his eloquence would
have been far less effective. That he
exercised q salutary influence in tenn
pering the bitterness and intensity Of
sectional animositieS in Kansas, there
is abundant evidence. It is to he hoped
that the effect of his labor in that State
will be perpetuated. I gather most of
this from q Kansas lawyer, native of
North Carolina, o Democrat now and
heretofore, but himself and wife bene-
f1ciaries of the ameliorated social con
disions which he attributes to Col.
Polk's teachings. and for which he 10

Ilabored with Col. Polk in the ALI
ance cause, and adhere TO the Demo
cratic party 90 the sureSt instrument

not write this 90 politician, but only
TO you as q friend of his family, and
TO afford you and them whatever
qualification it may contain.

qlIs4U9S alto than Europe for, silver,
pns.ov~ :, Did at premium, and it soon
disappeared across the Atlantic. The
secretary of the treasury reported in
1885 that there was not more than
81, 900, eco of gold in this country, and
OF that amount only trifle was in ac-
tual circulation.
By the act of June %, 1884, the gold
eagle was made to contain only 2s2
grains of gold or 80 grains to the dol
lar. This regulation fixed the ratio of
silver to gold at about 16 to 1, and
placed premium on silver. That
ratio still exists, and silver would still
command a premium but for the legis-
lation of 1873 and the subsequent botch-
work of hireling Congressman.
By the act of January 18, 1887, the
amount of alloy used in our dollars was
reduced from 44f to All grains, thus.
forming exactly one tenth of our stan
dard silver. That reduced the weight
of our silver dollar from 416 grains to
4121 grains, but did not reduce at all
the amount of pure silver contained in
the dollar
Fixing the ratio of silver to gold at.
16 to 1, while other countries adopted
the ratio at ISL to 1, made our silver
dollar desirable to export. Compari-
lively, we had now an abundance Of
gold, while our silver was rapidly van
ishing. We had nothing but silver
with which to make purchases less
than one dollar, and that subsidiary
coin left the country so rapidly that
an act was approved February 81,
1853, reducing the amount of silver in
a dollars worth of subsidiary coin.
from 412f grains TO 384 grains, thus
taking from each dollars worth OF
subsidiary coin 241h grains and reducing
it's export value nearly per cent The
result Of this legislation was to retain
our small change at home, while our
dollars were exported as rapidly as
they could be coined
AAC 4OOA bG4Ch "n4C4 OG4C Oc5G MnhE4~a
ciers of England, through their baser
agent, John Sherman, played on the
unsuspecting people of America in

moment that the value of silver has
fallen in England. Silver there, pre-
vious to the crime Of 1873, was worth
$1.37 per ounce to coin into India
rupees with which to buy Indian wheat.
It is worth the same to day. It will
buy the same quantity of Indian wheat.
The result of demonetizing silver here
has reduced the price Of silver bullion
96 per cent. That enables those Eng
lish frauds to buy Indian wheat for 80
cents bushel less than they could if
we had unlimited coinage and thus de-
prives American wheat growers of a
foreign market at remunerative prices.
