Editor Gazette:
You ask me,
First. What should be the main Is
sue to be presented by the Democratic
party In its next national platform ?"
In answer ! believe the platform ought
20 contain the usual declarations con-
tanned In the platforms of the party,
which have been adopted ever since
the close OF the late war, together with
. specinc. certain and unmistakable
declaration In favor of the free coin
age Of silver at l6 to ], and further de-
clare that 1t should be the duty OF the
secretary OF the treasury that when
ever Rreenbacks or treasury notes are
presented for redemption That the same
should be redeemed out OF that coin
that mny be In excess IN the treasury
vault. II there be more gold, then re-
deem the notes in gold. III there be
more silver. then redeem them In silver,
This will preserve an interchangeable
and eNchangeable quality OF the two
metals. France has done this for many
years. surrounded ns she Ia by great
gold nations, and why cannot we do
30?
You ask me in the second place,
what il the most practicable and
hopeful policy for the advocates OF BIZ
metallism to pursue in the coming cam
paignT In answer | would say that
the people throughout the country
should at once begin to organize, all
the advocates OF bimetallism Into clubs
or leagues. and get up an interest
among the people sufficient to prompt
them to attend the primaries and the
county conventions. and to be sure they
make no mistakes whatever In making
selection OF delegates to the national
convention. II all the people OF the BIZ
metallic states would pursue this pol
icy we would be able to control the
next national convention.
In reply to your third question, what
has been heretofore said Is deemed
sufficient answer. Very respectfully,
