A few days ago II. j. Dininny CT
this city received letter from an east
ern friend who sought 70 convince Mr..
Eininny Of the evil of his way in sup
porting. the silver cause. Mr.. Dininny
replied yesterday, and if it is not the
other fellow who is converted it will
be because he is too deep-rooted gold
bug to be open to conviction. The
letter mailed yesterday reads:
Sept %, 1886.
Mr.. John w. Melien. Geneva, n. Y:
My Dear John-Your kind letter of the

Of your letter. If you would read some
of the silver literature that is being sent

ton we Of the west take in the issue
now on. would commend TO your at
lenJion the Cincinnati Enquirer, or the
New York Journal, and If you have not
time to read them, then read the opinions
OF the people column Of the New York
World; 1t is short and very entertaining

enables corporations TO unite in restrict

tion IS wrong; how wrong 1t is, may be
1Udged when they pay $4,000, 600 as a

get that dollar, is wrong. condition
Of things that enables a man holding
paper with q promise on it to be paid in
coin, TO go to the United States treasury
and get 200 cents in gold for every dol
lar is wrong. A party that will uphold
the issuing of bonds in a time of peace
TO enable the shyiocks of the east to
add to their wealth, is wrong. A party
that talks of protection for the few when
the many are starving is wrong. A party
1hat says IN It's platform that 1t is in IA
Sor of bimetallism, and then argues in
zavor OF gold alone is a humhug. A party
that says that bimetalhsm is right when
4 consented to by other nations, and wrong
when proposed by this great nation, is
fraud. A party that sides with the
classes AGAINST the masses is at the verge
Of dissolution, and believe that your
party stands N that condition now. A
party that says that the mills, not the
MINIS, should be open, is trying TO fool
the people. Pray who would buy the
product OF the mills if they were open?
The people who would buy are peDni-
less; they cannot sell what they have:
all the money is in the vaults of the
teaches and blood suckers who thrive
upon the starvation and want of the
producers OF this country, and those that
would be producers Of wealth are at the
door of penury or tramping the country
for work that they cannot find and all
this that few men in this country may
add TO their millions.
You say that when Mckinley is elected
good times will come. [ would like to
ask you, where they will come from, and
on what you ground your belief? His
policy is the same as the one that now
curses the whole country, and a. change
from Cleveland TO Mckinley would be
like jumping out of the frying pan into
The fire; in my reading have never seen

/ by McKinley's election, nor have 1 ever
read a goiu argument that was of any
account, or that q ten-year-old school boy
could not pick TO pieces.

A party that viii appeal to a religious

The highly educated east has shown its

with The treatment the ignorant miners
of Montana gave that arch traitcr John

has been bought and paid for by the
trusts and corporations that it has Gre

You 'people affect to believe that the
