which you naturally feel for your Office
holders who Will fully repudiate the
Sound money" provided for them tC
mar your contemplating the perfec'
5 ton of the machinery you have con
structed TO facilitate the use of the
official ak.
Your "wonder" at the imbecility Of
the farmers and planters in failing tc
appreciate the benefits of cheap
market for what they sell is most rea.
sonable and natural from your unset
fish and comprehensive view of the
subject. You take into consideration
that cheap market where they sell
creates q cheap marks for what they
buy, and you fully realize, IL they do
not, the advantages they have in sell
ing more than they buy and thereby
relieving themselves of more cheap
products than they are compelled to
receive. They are at liberty to sell
more than they buy to obtain money
to pay interest and taxes, which to
Them
MAY SEEM HARDsHIPs
| But which, on account of your super
Tor wisdom and patriotism. you know
to be blessing, which their dull
comprehension fails to appreciate.
1.-Two billions of interest on $780,
0O0000,000 of debt, public and pri-
vate, with $500000000 contributed
for the support of the Government
and the thousand millions required
for state and local taxation, are bene-
fits to the producers when viewed
from the unselflsh standpoint of credi-
tors and office-holders. The luxury
in buying in cheap gold market |
with the money remaing after dis
charging these nominal obligations is
not sufficiently prizsd by the discon-
t nted planters and farmers. The
slight discrepancy between the
amount lost by sales by low prices
aud the gains by purchases in cheap
market ought never to be considered,
I'd Isl properly excluded from the
wise and. benevolent councils of Wall
and Lombard streets, and also from
the learned deliberations of the White
House, where your annual salary of
100000 is promptly paid. Your ex-
lortation to Democrats to stand to-
gether on the sound money platform
If gold monopoly is pathetic.
"Your fear that if Democrats should
.dhere to the equal coinage of both r
metals as provided in the constitu-
ion that the. Republican party would
lonopolize the field OF gold monome-
allism originally discovered by the
enator from Ohio, is well grounded

"The great prosperity which your vi
ccessful leadership has secured th
ows what glorious consummation is
would be to capture the gold mono na

''You say: IF we democratic par co

Your declaration that the gold
ndard established by the Republic Ms
I party in 1873 is the traditional cry
,trine of sound money of the Dem cas-
attic party ought to inspire every STR
mocratic heart with unbounded a D,'
husiasm. You are right. There ani
lot room enough on the gold stand Mo

parties in an active campaign be- son
