WASHINGTON, Aug 6, 1896.
'Bishop John P. Newman, Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, Philadelphia,
Pa:
"Dear Sir.--I am panied to see in
the public press statement to the ef-
feet that you have joined the enemies
of our country to oppress and rob the
great mass of your fellow citizens.
The New York SIN quotes you as
saying;
"ln the conference committed to
my charge there are something over
1000 ministers. shall call their at
tention to what l believe is the plain
duty of the clergy, and shall urge up
on them the importance of using all
the influence they possess, in tae pull
pit and out, against the danger which
threatens our country, against the pos
sible triumph of Bryan and Sewall
and the election of congress that ls
pledged to pass free coinage meas
ure.
II the above quotation is correct,
you have endorsed the clandestlne
legislation Of 1873, whereby one half
o. The metallic money Of the world
was destroyed and the value of the
other half doubled, Y?V have also
indofsed the schemes Of the money
powers Of London and New York to
control the gold Of the world, advance
its purchasing power. reduce the val
ue of poverty and services, and there.
by build up moneyed oligarchy on
the ruins of the republic.
when | knew you, you talked
and acted like friend of the people
thought then that you sympathized
with our Savior in his rebuke of the
money changers of Jerusalem, and
that you thought that he was righ'
in driving them from the temple O.
the Lord. What has wrought thil
change in you7 How doss it come
to pass that you are now one of thu
Pharisees, and that you have COM
menced the evil practices which ou
Savior condemned? 1t is possible
that those influences which led astray
one of the twelve on that eventfu
night has reached you, and that in de
nying the people you have denied tn
principles taught by the Savior o
mankind, and which you so ably ad.
vocated while you were friend o
the common people.
NO EXCUSE FOR AN INTELLIGENT MAN
There is no excuse for man o
your intelligence to advocate the gol'
standard. You know that the pur
chasing power Of gold has been ad
vanced by fraudulent legislation AM
wicked manipulation fully lOC pc
cent; that the rich have been mad
richer and the poor poorer; that th
government Of the United States
fast becoming government of pluto
cracy. In former days you mourne'
over the practices by which the earn
ings Of the masses we're transferre
to the few. Now you call the rob
berry produced by gold standard con
traction honest, and propose to Undue
q thousand ministers of the gospel
Join the Rothchilds' combinatio
against the people Of the Unite
States. You even 60 so far as to &C
vocate the election of VIM. Kinle,
