Brookneal. Va. October q. 1896.
To the Editor Of The Times.
Sill Investigated the question OF sound
money for myself about Eve years ago
before the matter 500 distinctly became d
political issue, ana nOW-and reached
these conclusions
Q That real money. the one common
medium OF exchange Tor all men, was a
thing that was evolved OF tho necessities
OF trade, ana was ln use IN the world OF
trade before even the most famous ma
lions known 10 history had come into
existence.
o. Therefore, that mOncy-real money
existed Independently OF any govern
ment, and that It's uea ana function could
not On any way Doc intcrferred with by
governmental action. and that, conse-
quenuy all contention that government
could by Hat create money, was absolute
ly bascleas Ia fact anu IN history
90 That notes and other issues OF gov
crnments, banks. ANA corporations. rested
upon the promise mado on the face or
themi OF ultimate redemption ~ real mon
ey, and were used iu circulation only to
tho extent OF the faith on the users, that
that promise Of redemption would be kept.
90 That the legal tender feature IN a
note or other form or money was only
one Phase OF the promise OF redemption,
NhIch, while Il undenlably gave some adj
QitiOnal value 10 the promise II redemp-
Qucnce 10 the general user OF money, ana
that IL IS absolutely wild and absurd 10
claim for that future, as Is now 80 COM
monty done, that an notes or other issues
OF currency In which thdt feature was in
corporated were, thereby, made as good
a. real money.
Tho Democratic party Of the future
must come OF the body Of conservatives
among men OF all parties upon the prin-
ciple that the country must De saved
1 sH. ola /. Al
people through the procurement Of unjust
legislation. and Of men who unite upon
the further principle. that government
cannot do more for the well being of all
the people than 10 give equal and SUM-
Client protection 20 every citizen in the
pursuit OF any business or calling he may
chose 70 elect that does not interfere with
or infringe upon the rights OF other clti-
Zens.
In my judgment no man can predict
with certainty the outcome Of the pres
ent political contest Here the elements
are peculiarly disturbing and conflicting.
The race issue is again worked, and IL
IS a very potent factor In the hands OF
tho Bryanites.
A marked feature OF the contest is the
secretiveness Of the voter There are
men on both sides. who are going 10 de-
posit ballots that will be carefully guard
ed. and which are only known TO them
selves.
/ think the secret feature or the ballot
will enure most 10 the benefit of the
sound-monev cause. but that l am forced
TO say is. after all. merely conjecture.
Personally, I believe Mckinley viii be
elected. because there IL undoubtedly q
reaction among the people against the
vague theories Of free coinage. and II is
equally certain that the laborer has at
last begun 10 think that there IS nothing
for him IN the new scheme OF finance.
