vate letter-this from a friend in
Oklahoma
I'm Coxeyite-am tor anything
which will agitate. Let people walk,
march, talk, sing, cry-anything,
anything to agitate-anything to
get our misrepresentation at Wash.
ington to do BETTER or WORSE, that
final and lasting better may come.
While it is an outrage to arrest and
convict Coxey for walking on the
Washington grass, perhaps it will
hurry up the day of salvation. Were
they to cruelty Coxey and those
Commonwealers, the salvation would
come sooner. They don't want the
West to tramp on their grass !! ! If
they don't learn wisdom soon, a
congress will be elected which will
hitch to their capitol and haul it
thousand miles inland. They don't
seem to understand that folks be-
yond their ken think, feel and can
act. What is to happen | don't
know. If our national congress
don't cease to legislate for plutoc.
racy; if plutocracy don't let go the
throats' of the ENTHUSIASTICALLY
let go-there'll be a struggle which
will kill History furnishes no in
stance where wrong let the Cypress
ed-the robbed-on their feet with
out bloodshed. 1t can be done.
God grant it may be.

As to woman suffrage, am in
favor of equal and exact justice to
all mankind, male and female, rich
and poor, white or black and,
while l am aware that there are bad
women, l am strongly of the opin-
len that woman is the connecting
link between men and angels and,
as woman was first in transgression,
she is destined by the all-wise Great
or to lead man back to the Garden
of Eden. To my mind, that is
clearly typifed in Queen Esther's
case, and other passages of scripture
that might be mentioned. The
mother gives prenatal impress to
both mind and body, and man can
never, while born of woman, attain,
mentally, to that exalted stature
to which he is destined, ultimately,
by his Creator, until VIZ man is fully
emancipated from all heathenish
customs which degrade her. A
stream can never rise higher than
it's fountain, hence the mother must
have the greatest freedom of both
mind and body in order that the off
spring may attain to the highest
state of mental and physical perfec-
ton. There are many arguments
that might be adduced to substan-
tiate this line of thought, which
space forbids.

Following is portion of another
private letter, from Uniontown, Pa:
| have not had much to do since
the first of March. Business is very
dull here, as everywhere else. |
quit the mill the first of March, and
have not done more than two weeks
work since, Mechanics and labor
ers are loafing on our streets all day
long, with no prospects for the fu.
ture. We are having a
vely exciting time in the coke re-
gion. Strikes appear to be the order
of the day. The operators act as
though laboring men have no souls,
and could live on the smoke of the
coke ovens and the dust of the
mines. There is day coming when
this country surely will be revolu-
tionized, and the "powers that be"
will not be. God never intended
that a few should revel in wealth at
the expense of the labor and lives
of the many.
The question has often been asked,
"What is Coxey going to do at
Washington 2" and you see how he
has been treated since going there.
Well, he is going to be heard before
he leaves Washington. Why should
not the government make provisions
for the laboring millions when it
cogts so little tomake money? The
national banks can get money at one
per cent Why not let the farmers
and mechanics have the same
show? w. Ii. S.

we quote DeiOW eACraCCs from q
private letter to the editor from an
uncle who lives in Dublin, Ind. He
attended the Lease Cougar meeting
at Richmond, and, speaking of Mrs.
Lease, he said she made a grand
speech in the afternoon. He also
mentions Mrs. Cougars speech in
terms of praise. Continuing, he
says:
Yes, l am in favor of uniting all
honorable, God-fearing, patriotic cit
liens in one reform party, but |
want no fusion in mine, merely for
the sake of office. 1t killed the
Greenback party, and will, and
ought to, kill any party. l think
it did the Populists no good where
they tried it. / am satisfied with
the agreement of the Ohio Populists
and Prohibitionists on the liquor
question. Personally, l
am in advance of either of our re.
form parties, in some things. For
instance, ! am in favor of de.
monetizing both silver and gold,
and using paper currency only,
based on the wealth of the nation.
/ am an absolute free-trader or, at
least, reciprocal free trade, with all
nations. l am decidedly in favor of
the Henry George single tax system.
If we MUST have gold as circulat-
ing medium, am in favor of silver
being equally standard-l6 or less
to l of gold-yes, say 10 to l. !
am in favor of government owner
ship of all the mineral wealth of the
country; am in favor of monetary
system agreed upon by the Ameri-
can republics, and let Europe, ASA
and Africa and the Rothschilds 60
to sheol or hades, as they may elect,
on the money question and other
wise. think this is an suspicious
time for the government to reclaim
control of the mineral wealth, rail
road and alien ownership of land,
means of transportation and COM
munication. am inclined to think
that free coinage of silver would be
of greater benefit to the mine-own-
ers than to the people at large. |
have tried to study the silver ques-
ton, and must confess / cannot see
as much in it as some claim to see
still, am decidedly a bi,metalist if
either is used as money. i am
heartily Disguised with hearing
people talk of "intrinsic value" of
gold and silver. Either has but
little intrinsic vaIue-gold less than
silver, and both less than pig metal.
Corn, wheat, potatoes, etc., have
stayable intrinsic value. A bushel
of wheat will sustain life under the !
same circumstances now as it would
