RRABsrKR VESTS LETTER.

Correspondence OF the Progressive FARMER
In this great battle between those
who produce the wealth Of the coun-
try, and those who claim the right to
take it from the producers without
giving an equivalent, it ia no longer
proper to speak of the East as the
enemy's country. 1t Is true that IN
part of Manhattan Island and in the
New England States the enemy of
American civilization is ~entrenched,
but, as is shown in cartoons sent out
by the Peoples party committee, the
New England section is but the tail of
the American mRstlf which has licked
England's soldiers twice, a. does not
now propose to be bitten and tormented
by Eagland's fnanciers. Mr.. Bryan
has been into the East, and the people
of the East are awakening to a ens OF
the justice of the principles which were
first publicly expressed at Omaha In
1892, and which were indorsed this
year at Chicago by the Democratic
National Convention. Tammany Hall
invited Mr.. Bryan to speak. and one
hundred thousand people stood with,
out the building in the midst Of a temp
est, regardleesof the Indictment weather.
just to catch S glimpse, or even to De
able to go home and proudly tell their
wives and children that they had seen
the carriage in which he was driven,
At Newark, N, j., he was given a
salute of one hundred cannon, and the
people gathered to hear him from ali
parts Of the State, which the oTgaus Of
Wall street usurers have always de
lighted in depicting es the dwelling
place Of fools and suckers. At this
writing it appears as if the people Of
New Jersey have determined to hin
with the people of the West and South
IN showing the money changers that
they will be fools and suckers no longer.
Until two weeks ago the Republicans
and dear dollar Democrats il the city
of Washington were very eager to Oct
money on McKjnIey's election. Now
they are as quiet as the maG who was
pursued by a bear and laid down and
feigned death, knowing that q bear.
unless very hungry, disdaias to nangIe
a dead body. The Hanna outfit are
not yet corpses, for the labor cruzher
of Cleveland, Ohio, is still administer
ing some gRlvanic shocks to them
them from his Rothschil1 battery, but
after November 3cd they Will be such
defunct lot of disgreced politicians
that they will never be heard of any
more in the public lie of America.
The Washington POST, which last
spring was bitterly opposed to the free
silver movement, and which after Mr.. !
Bryan's nomination crawled up on the !
fence, is now sliding down on the Bryan
side and hanging By L hand, with its
toes nearly touching the ground. Judg |
ing from its editorials in the last two
it will be sitting comfortably |
among the Bryan forces before this let. !
ter reaches your readers, and will be
adjusting it's mouth in readiness for a

tration. Pulitzer. of the New York
World, who ia one Of the keenest news
meni in America, hears the rumb- |
ling which presagss the coming land
slide fer Bryan, and his agitated frame
of mind is shown in his editorials. This |
week he has been plaintiveIy calling
upon Mckinley to follow Mr.. Bryan's
example and declare his intention to
suppress all trusts aud monopolips, but
the muzzled mummy OF Canton cannot
do it, for his campaign funds have been
supplied by those brigands. His man
ager is one Of the greatest Of the crew
and his running mate Hobart is the
man who engineered the coal trust
deal, which has raised the price of coal
all over the country one dollar a ton, !
without raising the wages of the miners,
but On the contrary having closed
down many mines and thrown many
thousands Of men out of employment.
The case of the Republican crowd is
desperate. Your readers will rem9m
Der a dispatch from st Louis, under
date OF June II, signed by John. J.
Ingalls,. in which the words were used:
Mckinley will be made to sup de
Elk Senator Ingalls, afterwards denied
the authenticity of the dispatch, but
the prophecy was true. There are Az
in the electoral college, 3o3 of
which are already certain for Bryan,
and he has excellent chances of getting
more. The Hanna crow I'D are whistliDg
