An Open Letter.

Editor Peoples Party Paper.
I am daily asked by Democratic
friends, "it the National platform of
the Dem ooratic Party declares for
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
VIII Populists support their Pfesi-
dental Nominee ?" l have not pre-
sumed to answer this question only,
so far as one Populist is concerned.
l have replied that free ooinage of
silver is but small part of the
Populists financial doctrine. We be-
lieve in free coinage OF both gold
and silver, but we further believe
that free and unlimited coinage of
silver at Is to / unassisted by legal
tender treasury notes will not afford
the relief desired, nor will it increase
the money in circulation to an ade-
quate amount necessary for the de-
mands of trade.
Free coinage of silver is a step in
the right direction, but alone, it will
in my opinion be but a change from a
single gold stan lard to a silver
standard We must have a Ma.
tional paper currency to keep the
metal m oneys gold and Silver from
controlling all values, full legal ten
der for all debts public and private,
we believe in this way tne amount
of circulating medium should b.
speedily increased to not less than
$50 per capita.
When your National platform
clearly states this financial doctrine

Today there is no free silver IN it.
Friends and fellow citizens; l
come to bury Grover not to praise
him, you all did love him once,
what cause have you not to mourn
for him. Lay him down gently,
cover him with care. The greatest
OF patriots, lies sleep there.
Brother Populists, yet little
while, not part but the whole Of
our platform will be the Shibboleth
of Victory, not for their party but
ours. Truth and it's counterpart
principal will be crowned with sue
cess. Let us if need be reconseorate
our lives, our fortunes and our
strength to an everlasting warfare.

Party. So sure as day follows night
victory will perch upon our stand

Then woe to the robbers who gather,
In fields where they never have sown,
Who have stolen the jewels from labor,
And builded to Mammon throne"

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Resolved, lst. That we commend
the course pursued by Senator Tel
Ter and his associates in Withdrawing
from the Republican Party upon the
adoption by that party of the single
gold standard. And we also hearth
ly com mend the tire atcned bolt Of
Senator TiIlman and his ass ociates in
case the Democratic convention re-
fuses to incor porate in their plat
form, the demands of that element
of the Democratic party.
Resolved, 2nd, That we hail with
delight the awakening of our fellow
citizens of all political parties on the
financial question and the opposition
to the present monetary system of
this government and as this opposi-
tim has been brought about i'll the
main by the agitation of this ques-
ton by Popu'ist leaders and
Populist newspapers. W. think it
ungenerous for the members of any
other political organization to insist
upon our people abandoning their
organization.
Resolved, 3rd. That we cordially
invite all reformers of evey namc and
order, it they are really sincere 10
their professions, to unite with the
only party, that not oaly advocate,

all necessary reform measures; a
party that is thoroughly united and
terribly in earnest.
Resolved, 4tb. That we heartily
endorse the platform recommended
by our State Convention and intend
God being our helper to battle for
those principales to the end.
