Hanna that so far as raising the tariff
IS concerned there need be no occasion
for any low tariff man to be alarmed.
as Mr.. Mckinley will favor no unjust
laws concerning this subject. There
fore no democrat need be alarmed as to
his tinkering with the tariff.
Now, Mr.. Patrick, if | am mistaken in
you aud the requests and tenor OF this
letter do not suit you, and your environ
ment be such as to preclude the possi-
biIity of your accepting the requests
contained in this letter, then my friend,

Il. In this connection let me assure you
that many prominent men of your polit-
ical faith all over the country are in the
service of our at one tune political
enemy, Mr.. Hanna.
In your state, Colorado, we are not
very sanguine of success, but as your
state is down on the list for allotment
of certain benefits, and as we are
assured there is a possibility of secur
ing your four electoral votes by hard
work and a judicious disposition OF
| funds, aud furthermore, as we have an
abundance of the "sinews of war; /, III
common with my colleagues, have sug
gested that some united effort should be-
made in your state. / understand there
is a strong undercurrent of opinion in
Colorodo favorable to Mr.. Walcott that
only needs little greasing to burst
forth in support of that noble republic
can.
Now, my dear Mr.. Patrick, you are
located too far from the seat OF war to

if we do not secure control Of govern
mental methods now we fear laws will
soon be enacted which will prevent the
formation and continuance of trusts
and that the profits Of business will be

our people, the more timid ones. fear We
may push the reduction of values q
little too far, and that the common
people may revolt, but let me assure
you, my dear Mr.. Patrick. that in tht
event of Mr.. McKinley's election bill
will at once be introduced in congress
to increase the standing army to at leas
80 900 men, which will be done in tht
, event of the success OF the gold stand
ard forces. The criminal classes. th,
the discontented classes and the llbol
classes, with their unions and strikers
will succumb to the rule of force and NJ
longer play any part in American poll
