ON the Greatest of Political Movements.
Henry Haynic, IA CORES pendent sent
out by the Boston Herald, is learning
the truth about the silver cause, and,
what is really astonishing, IL printing it
III a series Of letters in that big daily of
the Hub. IN q recent letter from Dem
yer he says, among many other inter
esting things which I'll over three col
umns, the following:
There are several small PARTIES and
associations anon the political neople
Of this western country which are dis
tflct from and outside Of thu two old
parties. It is these several associations
that count for most in tho coming CAM
p~aigi-that is, if they become united
but as yet it is by no means certain that
these several groups viii ever be able to
unite i'll the silver issue. II is claimed,
however, that if every party and per-
son fayoTing the rehabilitation Of silver
as money were to sink all minor issues
and ambitions-were to put away the
idea of foalty 10 old parties and unite
with the II object in view, that Of BIZ
metallism-their cause CT candidate
would win ucXJ November. | have vet
to meet q man on woman, except up in
Wyoming, who is not irrevocably com
mittcd 10 the silver issua--tlat is, if
their " words go for anything.
However, Il third party will not be
summoned into life until after both Ct
the cid parties have had an opportunity
to refuse Il plank asking for the free
coinage Of silver on the ratio already
mentioned, and the Populist convention
was called purposely several weeks later
than the regular conventions so as to
afford the Republican and Democratic
parties tbs opportunity. One thing is
certain, the politics Of this third party
are III the bands Of trained politicians,
and they arc not going to hurry or make
many mistakes, if any. Men like Sena-
tors Teller, Stewart, Jones, Morgan,
Allen, Butler, Cameron, Warner, Pence,
Mott, PETER and Tillman have no am
bition to crafty, but a principle to es-
tablish. There is no question but that
the west and south want free silver, but
it is a question whether for the sake of
it they will throw aside all differences
and march under one banner.
What we need" a tolcrably well to
do farmer in Kansas said to rae, 'what
we require, are higher prices, bat SO long
as o single standard, and that one gold,
is maintained, higher prices are impos-
sible. Without higher prices the Ameri-
can people cannot pay their foreign
debts, and unless we pay those debts we
cannot maintain the gold standard, for
the dragnct Ct the foreign creditor will
take it all. In short, sir, a continued
gold standard means Il ruin, just as it
also means the ruin of your manufacture
lug people i'll New England, and a mon
etary system which is rapidly drawing
the producing classes Of the richest ma
ton on earth into the vortex Of financial
destruction is neither sound nor honest,
and no amount of banking defamation
OF party platform cun make it so. The
complete restoration Of silver to it's
former place rs Il money metal will
check the rising value Of gold, deprive
silver standard countries Of the advan-
tages i'll exchange which they now pos
sess and give the toiler and producer
something like a far return, and this
can be done only i'll ono way--the minis
must be opened to free coinage again. -
