Pennoyer to Cleveland.

Portland, Ore, Dec. Ex-Governor
Pennoyer remembered President Cleve
land to-day by sending him the follow
ing letter:
Christmas has again visited our
stricken land, with its prostrated in
dustries and its idle throngs, willing
but unable to work and unwiliingly
forced to beg or suffer. Your panacea.
change in the Sherman law and the
tariff, has been administered but there
is no change in the sad condition of the
OF the unfortunate country. After two
years Of ruinous delay and mismanage-
ment. you have, thank heaven. at last
discovered the real trouble. although
you have not proposed the proper rem
edy.
AS you now concede the country
needs more money, but it does Lot want
the worthless stuff you proffer. II
needs gold and silver money with which
to pay debts, and it does not want bank
rags with which it cannot pay debts.
Sixty years ago the Democratic party
had president who detied the banks in
the interest Of the people. Has it now
president who defies the people in the
interests of the banks? All the tradi-
tions Of the party which elected you are
for gold and silver money and against
bank currency. Do you aspire to furn
i5h an example of treason to the cause
Entrusted to your care which will b.
without any parallel except one, in all
the annals of American history?
Your party in both houses favors the
res ,oration Of silver as standard money:
the people, actually suffering from the
existing prostration of business, favor sit
and will you not stand by them in over
turning the mono-meallic policy of the
British moneyed oligarchy, which is fast
degrading our fair country to the con-
dition of a subjugated province and our
hitherto free people to a condition of
financial serfdom? Always remember
the unemployed multitudes all over
our broad land. pray that God may
give you light and strength to do right.
