cndraNoring TO OBLITERATE THE
MEMORIES OF THE WAR by marching
together carrying miniature flags,
some the "Stars and Stripes" others
the STARS and Bars, to decorate the
graves of fallen comrades, in which
he forbade &. A. r. men from joining
in any decoration in which the little
flag of dead Confcderacy was car
ried. Nor did We refer to the speech
made by this same General Palmer
when REMoNSrRANCES WE'RE LOUD
LN MADE BN CAMPS AND INDIVID-
UALS OF THE q. \. II. against this
order in which he denounced the
once proud and loved flag of the Con
f"drrary "A DoUBLN DAMNED VILE
RAG OF TREASON" Had Glen. Buck
nrr's attention been called to these
facts, of such recent date, that could
not properly be called "hloody shirt
Old friend, fear you learned your
definition of the "bloody shirt from
| the same dictionary that Secretary
Carlisle learned To interpret "coin"
to mean gold certainly it is of
about the same calibrr.
You claim to be Il Jefferson, Jack
sou Democrat. lou remember that
it is said Brother Henry Scott on II
Paul was quoted against his views in
Il religious discussion begged leave
to differ with Brother Paul" Now, as
jefferson wrote To Alexander Hamil-
ton in l792: II return you the report
of the mint. | concur with you that
/ the unit must stand ON both metals"
/ Aud again: Il believe that the bank
! ing institutions are more dangerous
| to our liberties than standing armies.
Already they have raised upa money
aristocracy that has set the Govern
mcnt at defiance. The issuing power
| should be taken from the banks and
restored to the Government and the
| people where il properly belongs"
/ And as Jackson in his farewell adj
| dress said: "rhe Constitution of the
| United States unquestionably in
tended To secure the people ii circu-
/ lating medium of gold and silver, and
my humble efforts have been during
my administration to restore the con-
stitutional currency of gold and sill
ver.' Won't you indianapolis fell
! lows, like Brother Scott, have to
Beg leave to differ with Brother
| Paul and fall back on Cleveland,
Mckinley, Carlisle, Mark Hanna d
Co. for your patron saints?
You say the Nationals wanted n
home-like place of refuge" Let me
warn you, old friend, the house built
at indianapolis is not Democracy as
il was taught to you and to me, AND
| WELL you KNOW 1T.
In conclusion, permit me to say,
WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FRIENDS
AND NO ACT OF MINE WILL EVER
SEVER THAT FRIENDSHIP.
Politically we have been insepara-
BILE. Our Democracy in by-gone days
was measured by the Jeffersonian
rule, and was always up the stand
ard. Wherever we were known at
all we We're known as FULL-GROwN
| DEMOCRATS, AND | HAVE NOT
CHANGED. | greatly fear that polit-
ically we have come to the parting of
the ways. l still follow the old beat
en- path, straight and smooth, blazed
here with equality for all and special
privileges to none, there with States
Rights, always opposing centraliza-
ton and class legislation, proclaim
ing gold and silver to be the money
of the Constitution, demanding that
neither metal be Disseminated
against, and always to the front in
defending the rights of the people
from enemies both at home and
abroad. You choose the dark land
by you heretofore untraveled) road
starting from indianapolis and ap-
parently leading by way of Palmer
and Buckner to St. Louis and Me-
kinleyism and all that word implies.
Pause, old friend; measure well each
step: Il precipice is Before you, with
a yawning gulf beneath it. The dam
ger signal is up; don't disregard it.
You say Jefferson found the BIZ
metallic theory a failure. So did
Jackson" Was il not the Is to ra-
ito instead of the bimetallic theory
that prOved'a failure? Again, you
lay: "Bimetallism with unlimited
coinage of both metals has never
been established longer than the
commercial ratio conceded with the
coinage ratio, which has never been
for more than brief time" Bimet-
alism did so exist from 1913 to 1873,
and the first-named year was the on
ly year in which the commercial and
coinage ratios conceded. The value
of silver per ounce was always above
the coinage value after the ratio of
10 to l was adopted in 1884 up to 1873
many of the years 5, 6 and cents
above the coinage value. In all these
81 years there was an unlimited ac-
tual coinage of both gold and silver
into full legal-tender money except
the years 1916 and 1917, in which no
gold was coined, and the year 1853,
in which no full legal-tender silver
was coined. The coinage FREE AND
UNLIMITED OF FULL LEGAL-TENDER
SILVER MONEY between 1913 and 1873
amounted to A.766, 620.50 dollars, and
of subsidiary silver coinage 59,047,-
5000 dollars with limited legal-ten-
der powers, and of gold a still larger
amount. (See Treasury Circular No.
1881
These facts show bimetallism the
oretically, practically and actually in
existence for 80 years and until the
crime of 1873 (See Carlisle's great
speech of 1878 for the crime assert
tion), Notwithstanding the great fiuc1
tuatiOn and difference between the
commercial and coinage values.
Old free-trade, States-rights, JEFF
fersonian, Jackson friend, you will
feel much better at home under the
rooster than you do straying after
false gods and worshiping at the
shrine of gold with those Indianapo-
lis cross-bred, hybrid Democrats.
Come home, old fellow, and bring
your erring associates with you and
listen to the rooster crow on Nov. Sd,
1896.
ONE OF THEM.
There you go again!
Let us sing:
she would distinguish and divide
A hair 'twixt south and southwest
side;
On either which he would dispute,
Confute. change hands, and still
confute."
For lack of space we can't reply
further this week.
