militia. The governors OF the states
need not arm or equip them, or call
them into service. The governors will
know where to find thousands, ready
to stand up in defense Of the right
whenever they are needed. Let the
Hessians when the executive calls for
them and arms and equips them, stand
upon the same footing as the Pinker-
tons-mercenary Dugald Dalgetys, for
pay ready to assassinate any citizens,
under any employment, no matter how
much in derogation of real law under
the charge Of the civil authorities.
There may come time, when the
words of Tom Corwin shall re-echo
with thunderous tones from the Allan
tic to the Pacific; from the lakes to the
gulf, as to these tories and traitors,
Welcome them with hospitable hands
to bloody graves" With my intimate
associations with that great man l
know he would be the first, If permitted
to visit earth, to shout that expression
with stentorian voice. Let us put our
protest against partisanship; the graf
ification Of ambition by the use Of the
Populist party to obtain Offices by men,
who cannot appreciate the dreadful
condition Of the country, and the ca
lamities which may come from greed,
ambition, intent to retain power on
the one side-and the black and frown-
ing ogre of want, despair, restitution
which stands right at our portals,
ready to meet further aggression and
oppression with the fury of maniacs,
which If successful would equally end
in the destruction of liberty, ciViliza-
ton, progress.
Russia makes commission Of $780,
900 for negotiating China's $4,000, 900
loan in France; but that Is only about
one-twelfth the commission the Bel
mont-Morgan syndicate got for nego-
titiating the $62,OOO,OOO of the United
States from Rothschilds. The commits
sion in this instance was over $9,0O0,-
900, or about Is per cent Of the loan.
We have the numbers, we can by
wise concessions and harmony WELD
into one great body sufficient to destroy
the reasonable combination now
Matching, and so save the Union. II
divisions are fomented, If each faction
claims to be infallible and will yield
nothing to patriotism, then truly the
conflict Is near at hand and our re-
public will go down in blood and ruin.
Divided, we fall an easy prey to the
despots. United for a common end,
with true Jeffersonian principles (the
foundation Of the Populist doctrine) we
could march on to assured triumph.
The silver question as an exciting issue,
can be used as the alloy to weld all ele.
ments into a proper strength. We
have the numbers to carry every safe
west of the Mississippi, every southern
state, leaving out Delaware, Maryland
and West Virginia, as suburbs Of New
York and under the control Of the real
masters in Wall street. With determine
ton and untiring work we could wrest
from the grasp Of Moloch. Michigan,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. All the other
middle and New England states could
be conceded to the golden idol.
It is grand and ennobling enter
prise, to devote ourselves unselhshIy
to the redemption Of vast nation, go
greatly in peril. Call upon all the Pop
ulists through your many channels to
grid on their armor and stand up as
one man for the right. Go on in bring
ing into the organization countless
thousands-relax nothing in energy
perfect the machinery and make 1t
stronger each day, that at the appointed
time our batalions will march toward
the same concerted fields, to which our
patriotic allies may also converge.
True men will not ask us to abate one
jot the full force and effect Of our or
ganization. We will preserve 1t intact,
and when action comes we will not be
partisans but act as undivided Ameri-
can patriots, banded together as were
our forefahters during the revolution.
Yours truly,
BLANTON DUNCAN.
June II, 1895.
