Editor Denver Republican.
Dear SiT: When. the rJLc. aev YOU
Informed me in my GUILE that you
would. through .'.a Ir''ed Gtalas mint.
exchange my 1000 Mexican dollars for
81 900 in gold you thrilled me with joy
and gratitude. | al once wrote to my
friend in Mexico and sent to him a
marked copy of your issue of 81 ulto.
containing my letter and your reply.
also a package of silver literature now
so popular in Denver.
Well. | now have his reply just TO
hand. the substance of which | will
give you. viz:
He says he could scarcely credit my
statement but when he had satisfied
himself that Won are supreme authority
upon the subject and. again, when he
had read one Of the publications-"The
Grip of Gold"-the reply burst with full
force upon him. He promptly contract
ed for all the silver he could carry and
then told the Mexicans of the soft snap
in sight. They declared they were all
sufferers of the grippe" but knew
they would speedily recover if they
could only grip some American gold.
They are greatly elated and propose to
early in November. Blood being thick
er than water they are writing to their
cousins all the way from Mexico to
Chill to correct the heresy of 53-cent
dollars, and to have them ship silver to
the prospective market.
Further, there are a number of Chi
namen there in Mexico who caught this
new infection. AS John expresses it,
Me got glippe too, got it veey bad; me
go China and cally glippe along. then
we all come back. bling millions So
cent dollars. get 100 cent gold. Flee
coinage, can choose gold or silver;
Chinaman take gold every time. Take
steamer home, sell gold, buy double
silver. come again light away. Mclean
man think he smart!
You have shown such solicitude
about the supply of silver and have
tried SO hard to convince the doubling
Thomas of the advantages of free coin
age that l hasten to carry this good
news. You will perceive even more
plainly than | can hat 53-cent dollars
whatever may be the theory of today
will be a thing Of the past just as soon
as Mexico. South America, China, ia
pan. India and Australia can finish
their %roundups of them and unload
here at 81 each. You will also perceive
and readily demonstrate that Il farm
ers and manufacturers can ship their
products to foreign countries, obtain
the worlds full value in foreign silver.
ship the silver to any United States
mint and receive 500 in gold for every
$50 of it.
Do you ever recall to mind how We
used to condemn the practice of water
ipn of ctrakc hy many IF tho prDnt rnr-
porations? So do |. But Il don't look
that way nowadays if we put on silver
bowed glasses.
