Latter from SENATOR Daniel,

Senator Daniels letter OF July Sd TO
Captain Page McCarty Is in his best
style. lie begins by a reference to Cox
ey's army. and what a southern briga-
der said to Tom Reed touching that
army. We quote:
1T Is the proudest day Of my life.
I 90 not see single southern man,
white or black. in that army. they are
all from the hot-beds Of protection, ana
the Coxeyitos have marched here from
the Mckinley district in ohio" Reed
had nothing more to say.
But Major Daniel takes up the argu-
ment. and says:
But what an object lesson it is-this
scene Of turmoil and confusion In the
sections where there Is money in abund-
aEce. and this sturdy self-re speeding,
law bidlng conduct on the part OF the
South. The southern people are To-Day
irnprcssing the world with their charac-
ter. Labor strikes stretch across the
continent from san Francisco 10 the
East Great cities are in state OF
siege Mail communications are inter
ruptcd. Mines are scenes Of riot. Banis
arr marching on the Capitol from Vari-
Gus directions with vague notions ana
sky-sCraping schemes. Anarchy SOUNDS
its rattle i'm New York and Chicago.
Socialism lifts its horrid head III the
German Reichstag and the English Par
lament, and assasslns strike their zen
blows I'm Italy and France But the
South stands Ike stone wall for peace
order, and law
our press is great factor for GOOD
in these times. says Major Daniel He
then proceeds to counsel calmness, and
adds that the American people VIII
never tolerate violence. lie predicts bet
ter times as soon az the new tariff law
goes into fun operation.
As 10 silver, Major Daniel says:
1T is plain TO all minds that the de-
molition Of silver brought neither pros
periiy Ia the country nor settlement 10
the question.
The passage Of the world TO a gold
standard In an imperfect way has I'M
doubtedly contributed much to the de-
pressed prices Of produce and con
strained the reduction Of wages, and the
falling of Of revenues, and the inGu-
ence Of this economic revolution Will
long be felt, unless it is revised
And Major Daniel concludes as fol
lows:
"But the South has an abundance to
eat-it Is learning economy more and
more; II is Injured TO hardship: II con-
tains hard-working, self-contained,
quiet, noble. neighborly people, who help
each other. and it can bear the strain
put upon ii better than any people on
the globe. It's campaigns of education
through war and reconstruction, have
made il hardy and self-reliant, and have
stimulated its resources Of self-help and
| have never felt that 1t was worthier
the love of all its sons than in witness
ing its splandii morale during these
times that try mems souls. Its solid,
substantial character will give il com
handing influence, and this great fact
Will attract to its borders the best ele-
ments of immigration, and the largest
Investments Of capital-the fact that the
South is to-day the land whore property
rights and personal rights are more re-
spectcd and more faithfully guarded
than in any other portion Of the world
Major Daniels letter Is timely, and
shows tina, he is hopeful and seeks TO
inspire confidence In the bosoms Of the
people he loves so dearly. lie claims
for the southern people only what all
men who have studied tie subject ac-
cord 10 them.
