celyed a few months ago from Con

The most singular thing 10 me is that the
masses Of the people do not >ee EXISTING
tendencies ana risr up a. one man and al
the ba lot box once for all RI .Et these wrongs
and punish these crimes.
However, have the broad"st charity for
! those who do not see il a. | do. and for
| those who 10 not agree with me on these
| questions Al least Tor those VINO honestly
differ from me. For 10 he perfectly frank
! tew years ago when / used Ia hear you
| talk these questions believed then that you
/ We're perfect crank and fanatic. INSPIRED
| with Wild cnImerICal Ideas A. baseleSs IN
| their foundation ~ the fabric OF an lhtt
! dream. / continued IN that belief untIl
/ hearing the statements lteratel and relterd-
/ tel ans finally hearing authorities quoted,
| | determined once for all - ind out the
| truth III the question: | TOOK no polltlchl
| speeches but merely the dry ana thu>'y re-
| ports of public officials Is made 10 congress.
! \ gu can understand my astonlshment a. |
! ptr>ued my Investigations 10 ma that these
! statements which had been hearing were
| not overdrawn. and You viii readily see that
| there was not great distance Tor me 10
| travel in pursuit Of such facts until became
| enrolled IN the ranks of the great army Of
| Cranks and If to be crank Il To study TO
| know the truth and having found II en-
| brace it. then il must be that | am a thor
ough going crank
But having for SO many years looked with
pity upon those disordered people who en-
| tertained the wild and chimerical views on
financial subjects which | now entertain, il
| Is no wonder that my charity for them l.
very broad | can remember we'll that tif
teen years or more ago you used to predict
| Just such a condition of affairs as COufrOnt>
| us TO day. The education of the masses has
been slow ana has cost mountains of treas
ure and oceans of tears, and will cost fan
more | fear before right mounts the throne
and truth sways the scepter | note what
you say in reference to me as mark of youI
personal friendship. | appreciate your kind
opinion. and personally can say with al
frankness and sincerity, that am without
one political aspiration ! have given two
wears of my best life and hardest work t.
