refused to change, he decided to resign.
One of the original arguments IN his
letter is the following:
Unrestricted and independent coinage,
then, would carry Us To the silver basis But
the difficulty of maintaining our paper cur
reney at parity with silver money, sunk TO it's
metal value, would be as great as that of now
maintaining it az parity with gold; perhaps
even greater.
Unless we should embark on the sea Of ire
deemable and worthless paper there would
be no escape from the necessity of main TAIL
ing heavy silver reserve; and this reserve
could be obtained only by the sale Of bonds
the very method so furioUsly denounced when
employed for maintenance Of the gold reserve
From the disorders that would attend the
loss OF the present standard I shrink with ap-
prehension and alarm, and I must, as 3 citizen
and as d Democrat, condemn that departure
from the principles and practices OF the party
which threatens dire result The conse-
quenees of such q change would be ea5as-
trophie. Such violent alteration Of contracts
and credits. OF debts and values, carrying with
it reduction of the purchasing power of wages,
could not take place without general disaster.
The mere thought of the consequences OF such
transfer Of our money from one metal to the
other. upon ratio so false. cannot be enter
tanned without deepest alarm

supplying campaign songs for the aruse-
meut and edihcation OF enthusiastic Re-
pubIiesns- The suggestion to Chairman
Jones, however. is Of q different nature.
It Is that himself, Candidate Bryan and
other noted silver speakers make ten or
fifteen minute speeches for earplImelt On
cylinders ef the grz ps4ophons
These VIII be taken and put In ma
chimes, which will be sent all over the
country. They viii prove double attrae-
tons and, it is believed, would draw large
crowds. The graphophone itself would
prove interesting to all the smaller cities
and TOWNS Of the country, but containing 2
speeches of eminent men OF the Demo-
cratic party It would be sure to draw large
crowds
The scheme is that Democrats be sent
through the country with these machines,
advertising ike q show when they would
be at 4 certain place. When they have
their audience in shape they would turn
on the talk No charge would be made,
although belief is expressed that If there
was charge sufficient to pay the expenses
of the operator there would be big crowds
everywhere. Il is said that the Repub-
iican campaign machines are made TO pay
their own expenses, just like all machines
in use for the public in general If the
idea mentioned should be carried out it
would prove the most novel scheme in the
history Of politics.

CAUsT1C LETTER TO JONES.
Resigns His Office and Rebukes the
Men Now in Control of the
Democracy.

TACOMA. VASE, Aug. 5.-Democratic
National Committeeman Hugh C. Wallace
created National sensation to-day by re-
signing. He has written vigorous letter
to Chairman Jones, IN which he accuses
the Democratic party of departing from its
principles and entering upon radical and
ruinous career. Wallace has been COM
nitteeman for four years. and has always
supported Cleveland ardentIy. He was
dIsgusted when the Chicago convention
refused to fndorse the administration, and
in his letter he strikes back thus:
Other differences there are, but not dwell
upon them. I cannot, however, foTbear pro-
test against the invitation TO riot and anarchy
that ia eovertIy presented in the censure of
tbs National administration for It's suppress
sion of mob violence that recently obstructed
the railways, stopped the mails, INTERRUPTED
interstate traffic, terrorized the country and
caused immense destruction of property. The
people Of the United States cannot give up
their right to enforcement of law and order,
and when State authorities cannot or viii not
act the Federal Government should act and
must act One OF the proclaimed objects of
the constitution Is TO insure domestic tran
quility.'
Although Wallace was known gold
advocate, the Democratic State Conven-
ton, after indorsing silver, selected dele
gates to Chicago, majority Of whom were
pledged to vote for Wallace IS National
Committeeman. His silver opponents
have, since his election, been demanding
his resignation, and Chairman Jones has
been notified OF his leaning toward gold,
and at the State convention next week 1t
was proposed to demand his resignation

forcibly removed. but IN view Of his posi-
rion on the money question. which be
