The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1895-04-27
Mr.. VIM. Mueller Is Agrecably
Surprised That His Former
Letter Is Published.
THE CAUSE OF CAUSES is BRIGHTER.
Editor MichaeliS of the Chicago
Freie PreSSe Is Il Staunch
Friend of Silver.

The citizens of Neihart have
been thoroughly awakened by the
recent publication of letter from
their old-time business friend in
Chicago. The local silver club has
taken up the subject and called a
mass meeting for next Tuesday even
ing to discuss the situation in gener-
al. The letter which the HERALD
contained was reprinted in few
state papers and was generally dis
seminated among the people of Mon
tana. 1t was practical in its sug-
gestions and written to the point.
This week came very cordial and
inspiring letter from the same source
which will be read at our club meet
ing next Tuerday evening. But
we append an abridgment of the
letter which will be of more than
passing interest, because of the good
news 1t contains.
| THE LETTER.
Chicago, ILL.,, Apr. 10, 1895.
Mn. E. X. ABBOTT,
Neihart, Montana,
Dear Sir: ! have received marked
copy of the HERALD containing my
letter to Allen Pierse, and although |
did not have the slightest idea il
would get into print, | think it will
help to arouse the people of your
section. | thank you for the pleas
ant remarks you make in its connec,
ton.
The tremendous movement in fav-
or Of double standard throughout
the masses of the people can be ac,
counted for by the following reasons
|. Increased stagnation of business
and misery.
2. The strong growing sentiment
in favor of bimetallism in Europe.
3. The justice Of the cause, whicl
animates men to bring any and all
sacrifices in its behalf; for the cause
of the reconciliation of silver has
become the cause of humanity.
A disorganized mass will stand nc
show in battle with welldisci
plined troop, although inferior il
numbers, and all of the friends o
the double standard must from now
on stand by their guns till the enemy
, is completely routed and the victory
decided. Let them drop all loca
and political animosities, all differ
ences of opinion upon other subjects
, until silver is reinstated.
TO show you how the gold stand
ard men are at work, | will mention
that few days ago, while | was il
the Office of Mr.. Michaelis, the edito
of the '.Freie Presse" who is stauncl
bimetallst, and by the way, th'
, author of "Looking Further For
! ward" an answer to Bellamy':
sLooking Back ward" which bool
created great sensation, when
letter arrived from the secretary o
5 the New York Gold Club askin!
, him if he would entertain propo
, sition to advertise their sound cur
rency literature and also write cdi
torials endorsing their policy Nh
E Michaelis answered the communica
y ton then and there, in letter,
). copy Of which | enclose. Mr.. Har
vey says it is the best letter writer
in short terms, on the silver question
and he is going to mail a copy wit
a each copy of ''Coin's Financial Ser
}, ies,' so that the letter will reach tn
g masses. | think you will do well t
, give the same as much publicity a
possible. The way Mr. Michaelis goe
after the goldbugs in his paper da
: in and day out, is a caution; for he
t thoroughly posted on the subjec
and handles mastery pen. lie Ina
already succeeded in stoppin
the great German papers OF the ea'
' from heaping abuse on the adheren
:. of the double standard.
A movement is in progress
k organize silver clubs among the Ge
n man.American voters of this and Il
i neighboring states, which is destine
. to be crowned with great success
For Chicago alone has 10000 sue
i voters: Illinois, several hundrt
ot thousand; Wisconsin, majority
g all voters; Iowa, Missouri and Min
X esota a large percentage. The PEI
-. pie of Montana must not sit idly
and see their eastern friends fig
III alone. 1t is time to arouse the pc
~ pie and to tell them to be on the
guard, for the enemy is at the
