ALTGELD FAIRLY SCALDS HIM.
III He Should Write such Letter He
Would Get the Horse Laugh.


Springfield, Ills, April Ex-Governor
Altgeld, when asked today if he had
read President Cleveland's letter on the
money question said: If it had any
other name than that of the president
signed TO ii, nobody would give it any
( attention. In fact if / had signed such
document it would have been riti-
culed all over the country, for its weak
ness almost excites pity. But the let
ter is remarkable in this. that it IS the
first instance in the history of the count
try and republic in which a president
of the United States, after using all
the prowess of the government has. in
addition, condescended to write for the
newSpa pers in order to serve his mast
ers. For this letter was not only writ
ten for publication, but was intended to
start a boom, and has been advertised
Tor week IN order to give il an au-
dience. Other presidents have been used
as convenience by class interests, but
this is the first time in which a presi-
dents name has been dragged 500 miles
outside of Washington city for that
purpose After nominating Cleveland
three times and electing him twice TO
the presidency, the Standard Oil and
Wall street people got him to use all
the powers of the government to further.
Their schemes. The country has been
astounded to see poStoffices and pat
ronage used to coerce congress into do
ing the bidding of the east, from strik-
ing down silver to the packing of a
supreme court. In the meantime the
country has been going from bad to
worse With abundant crops and with
the most Industrious, intelligent and
enterprising people to be found on
earth. we are in paralyZed condition,
brought on by no natural cause, but by
the arbitrary acts of q number of the
governments Of the world controlled
by the influence of the salaried classes
and of the bondholding classes of
Europe and America. These wanted
To make all property and commodities
cheap and money dear. and they have
succeeded. The result is that the pur-
chasing power of the production classes
has been destroyed while all the debts. |
taxes and other fixed charges remain
the same. 1t takes all the people can |
get together to meet the fixed charges. |
Consequently labor is idle and the great |
producing classes are in distress and |
they are finding out the cause They
have learned that the So-called honest |
dollar is the most dishonest dollar in |
demand. for it compels the debtor to |
give twice as much property to pay his |
debts as would have been necessary at |
the time the debt was contracted Now, |
does the presidents letter offer |
remedy for these people? None. They |
have been hled until they cannot stand |
up and he simply tells them to be con-
tent. They know that until they get |
more blood they cannot do business.
They have submitted to this ruinouS
