OdIlco LII anu the Wnole thing was &C
cepted By GREAT BRITAIN as sat-
islactory settlement of the complicat-
ed muddle, should not mention this
matter to you at all, for I'll be busted
If hadn t rather fish for week than
lust to think once of the dad busted
middle. | wish l had never seen
queen Lii If you can do anything
with this devilish thing I'll agree to
sign a bill to increase your salaries.

tell you
The Treasury.
The treasury is nearly busted. ANY
TOOL can see that. Fill her up again.
Silver Purchases.
We bought lots of silver under the
Sherman law, We have got it vet,
most Of it, and I am opposed to its
coinage We are producing lots of
silver and gold. The national banks
have had little furry during the
panic, but they will come out all right.
Do all you can for them. I'll sign
any bill you'll pass extending their
privileges
Eject Of Repeal
There is no doubt but that the effect
of the repeal of the silver purchasing
clause will have salutary effect on
somebody. When and where and
how, | don't know, and don't care a
d-n, so it won't hurt me. Some time
in the future confidence will be re-
stored. Here is lesson to be learned.
Let us never resort to expedients. If
you are going to let the people down,
let 'em down fast When they hit
the ground with dull thud they will
have better idea of the station in
life to which it has pleased God to
call them. Whenever we want to
make any change in our monetary
system we should ask Engl nd. We
should do just what she tells US to.
The Bead Question.
favor the issue of bonds and there
fore want you to share the response
bility of doing so by authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to issue them,
by special act. Great Britain and
Wall street also favor the issue of
bonds.
The Army.
1t is well enough to have the army
and the militia well equipped and dis
ciplined, and to so distribute them
that they can be used against striking
worklngmen. We are gratified to see
the progress we are making toward
being able to shoot the dayIights out
OF anybody who don't suit.u We
have los of new guns OF the most i'm
proved pattern and will soon be able
to do up a job of wholesale murder as
scientifically and with as great dis
patch as any nation on Gods green
footstool. To this end large sums Of
money have already been spent and
hope you will continue to make ade.
quate appropriations for the same.
There is nothing like being "cock o.
the walk" Our navy, too, is "alI
hunk" and don't you forget it. See
