HtoT SttWHIt, WHOSE TcceHt upe"
letter to the President caused so
much comment, comes out tonight
in another, that is equally caustic.
The following is the full text of the
documents:
WAsn1ScToN. d. c., May I, 1893
MIR. PRESIDENTS: Your letter to
Governor stone, of Mississippi, is
admirable. 1t wholly eXonerates
you from all suspicion of shirking
from your plain constitutional duty
of personal participation in the ro-
litical controversies which agitate
the people. Your treatment of
contumacious Office holders illus
trates the benefits of Civil Service
reform when you tell them that "in
the interest of good. government
such office holders must not he sur
prised if they are summarily dealt
with" You say: "I have never
ceased to wonder why the people
of the South, furnishing so largely,
as they do, products which are eX-
ported for snld, should be willing
to submit to the disadvantages and
| loss of silver monometalism and
to content themselves with a de-
preciated and tluctuating currency
while permitting others to reap the
profit from the transrnutation of the
prices of their productions from sill
yer to gold" The originality of
your discovery that the South fa-
vors silver monometallism when
they only contend for the coinage
of silver upon the terms and condi-
tions applicable to the coinage of
gold, can never be questioned. You
will undoubtedly explain in your
next letter why free coinage of gold
and the refusing to coin silver is
bimetallism, and the unrestricted
coinage of both gold and silver
'monometalism. Your "wonder"
why the South does not appreciate
the advantages of selling their eX-
ports for gold prices is in harmony
with the profound thought and
great wisdom of your Chicago let
ter, wherein, referring to the farm
er, you said: "Let us remind him
that he must buy as well as sell
that his dreams of plenty are shad-
ed by the certainty that if the price
of things he has to sell is nominally
enhanced, the cost of things he
must buy will not remain station
ary"
From your unselfish point of view
there is no answer to this argument
The discovery you have made that
the sales and purchases of the farm
ers and planters in cheap gold
market exactly balance each other
and that what is lost by the low
price of sales is gained by the low
price of purchases, solves the ques-
ton, and shows your full compre.
hension of all the principles of eco.
nomic science.
The fact that less than 100000
pounds of cotton, or $4,000 bushels
of wheat would pay the $4,000 an,
nual salary which President Grant
received, while it now requires &
100000 pounds of cotton or $4,000
bushels OF wheat to pay your salary
which is the same number of doll
ars as that OF your predecessor
: shows the superiority of the "sound
: money" which you have established
and maintained. The benefits yor
! confer upon the planter by reliev
ing him of 5000 pounds of surplu.
!, cotton, or upon the farmer in saving
: him the storage of $4,000 bushels O
wheat, naturally inspires the "uni
2 versal care for the rights of all
nonsectional American brother

land" to which you so touchingl,
: allude.

A which you must derive from the

the long suffering class of bono

naturally feel for your Office holder,

money" provided for them to MAJ
