CALDWELL FOR SILVER.

Hon. Henry c. Caldwell, senior Unit
ed States Circuit Judge for the Eight
Judicial Circuit of Colorado, first m ad
District Judge by President Grant, ant
promoted to the Circuit Judgeship b
President Harrison, wrote a lettel
under date of st. Louis, April 80, to al
old army friend, now in Denver, il
which, among other subjects, he speak!
freely and frankly upon the silver ques.
tion. The letter was written without
any supposition that any part of il
would be given to the public, but the
friend to whom it was written, who
Is an ardent silver man himself, as
sumes the privilege for the sake of the
good cause to make public a part OF
what the judge writes about silver.
Judge Caldwell's utterances are bold,
clear and unequivocal. The following
is from the letter:
"The country is about entering upon
another struggle for the protection oil
the rights and the promotion of the in
terests Of the laborer and producer,

that another and competing nation may

its producers impoverished and its in.
dustries destroyed. and the nation itself
will soon be little more than a mere

always been in favor of making the
fight on the money question unencum-
bered with details or side issues and
recent events have proved that I was
right. The money power for the first
time realizes that great conflict with
the people confronts them and now is
the time to meet them on their chosen
ground. Secretary Carlisle's speech at
Covington, KY, indicates that they
don't intend to yield one inch. Let us
push the money question to the front
and hold other issues in allegiance until
this is settled. am in favor of unit
ing all the people opposed to the gold
standard and banks Of issue into one
party, under one banner, and on one
platform and candidate in 1896; but It
is impossible to do this in either the
Democratic or Republican parties. 1t
would be a waste of words to discuss
such proposition At present, the
people who are opposed to the gold trust
are divided into four hostile camps. If
they can be united next year the vi0-
tory is won, but II they cannot, the
contest for '96 is lost In my opinion
the Peoples party is common ground
upon which all these elements can
stand. With best wishes for the sue

When Populist speakers in '92, 9:

Ing system and exposed the legalizet
robbery Of the business and farmine
interests of America by the national
bankers, the old party hacks de.
nounced us, and branded us as anarch-

When the Fopulists proved that ma
tional banks got money from the gov
ernment at 1 per cent and speculated
on it, the old party hacks denounced
US as liars.
When we proved that the farmers
were forced to pay from IL to so per
cent for the use of money, the old
partyshacks denounced us as stirrers
up of strife, and the Democratic press
OF Georgia, with an unbroken unanim-
tty. defended the national bankers.
We told the people that the national
bankers deposited an interest-bearing
bond with the government; the govern
ment issued the bankers money at 1
per cent, exempted the bond from tax
alton, and in addition thereto paid the
bankers to loan money direct to the
farmers, but we couldn't hammer the

We told them it was legislation in

Shaving the merchant and the farmer,
but the old party hacks and news

domination and white supremacy, and
our warnings went unheeded.
But we never faltered. We knew
we were right and believed that the
time would come when our course
would be vindicated-when the mas
querade of the bond-holders would end
and the maskers would be forced to

The average reader-we care not
what his politics may be-must admit
that our arraignment of the national

Every reader should remember that
the money these bankers propose to

the bonds are based on the private
property of the man who is forced to
borrow; that the banker gets the money
