| Boston, August 12.-Ths following
open letter has been issued:
Boston, August II, 1896
| Bishop John. Z. Newman, San Francisco,
Dear Sir-In reply to my open letter,
you shift the controversy, thereby oonced
| ing the accuracy of my corrections, but
you are again in error. You say it
would be better for me to leave my church
than pay our pastor SO cents for dol
lar. just as l challenged you TO name
single leader in the Populist party
who is also known as an anarchist, SO /
challenge you TO show me a 81 cent dol
lar. stand ready to pay you SO cents in
gold for every so-called So cent sill yer
dollar you can bring me. Now, Bishop,
here is chance for honest speculation,
l per cent will be my profit. Let me in
form you that whenEthe coinage stamp of
this great government is upon it, there Ia
no such thing as "a 53 cent silver dollar.
Again If we don't pay our pastor with
silver dollars or greenbacks, what can
we pay him with Gold is out of uircula-
ton, gone to Lombard street, London, on
a vacation. Honest silver and green
backs stay with us as usual and perform
the work the runaway gold should do.
l again object to your chasing Popu-
lists with anarchists. In response to my
former reply, l received letters from
Methodists in all parts of the country,
demanding that you retract your anar-
chist statement, or resign your position
as bishop in our church. 1 do not con-
cur In this, but you must not turn your
church in your district Unto political
machine to insure the SUCCESS of any
party. Neither should you use your ex-
allied position in giving character to
reckless political statements which give
false impression and accomplish much
harm.
Too much license is taken by public
men in condemning, maligning, and ridi-
ouling in a Wholesale way millions of
honest men who differ with them on po-
litical lines. Again, Bishop, the Metho-
dist church, especially, is supposed to
protect and care for the common people
and not to fight the political battles of
the rioh. Do you think the cause of Christ
will be advanced by antagonizing these
millions of honest. patriotic people, and
thereby embitteTing them against our
roble church,
Will you forfeit the possibility of reach
ing their souls to secure political advan-
tage? No, ! say; let there be no union
of church and state. If the moral char
acterEof either candidateewas in question,
you might be justified, but this is not
SO. They are all patriotic, Christian
gentlemen, with characters above re-
proach.
Therefore in the name of thousands of
Methodists who deplore your unwise
political statements and proposed &C.
tion. again request you to keep out of
politics, that our church may not be
| Contaminated by being dragged into it.
Your incorrect stSssments indicate that
| you..hav given your attention TO theology
and not to the money question. Hence
I edyise you to study 1t, instead of talk
ing it.
