A Reply to gen. Sickles.

Editor Times: In the evening edition
OF Friday Times is published a letter from
Gen. Daniel f. Sicklcs. addressed to My
Dear Comrades in which he says:
Mr.. Bryan proposes that silver shall
be the money of this country. Nobody
understa nds the evils OF deprecated cur
rency better than the veteran soldier and
sailor, because they were paid during the
war IN paper money not then reicemab bic
in gold. This was the best our government
could do for US during the war. and we
made no complaint Often this paper was
worth less than so cents on tie dollar.
while the cost OF everything you bought
was double, but your pay was not in
creased
This would imply that We have not a
deprecated currency today, because IL is
redeemable tn gold. Does Gen. Sickles
not know that the government b today
paying its employees in silver certificates.
which are not only not redeemable in gol,l
but are not even legal tender? And that
the Treasury win give neither gold nor legal
tender paper in exchange for them? That
these certificates are worth a hundred cents
on the dollar because they are redeemable
in legal tender silver? This Is the same
silver advocated by Mr.. Bryan. and is not,
nor never has been, redeemable in gold.
IL the gene raj does no. know these facts,

Editor Times: Now that fail Is here and
the winter Is coming, and thusaDds Of
tramps are arriving from every point. the
question arises: What shall we do with
the unemployed? Someone says: Put
them in Jail; another. let them work for
their board in tue public parks. and a
kind-hearted gentleman suggests that we
establish and maintain souphouses in the
various parts of the city. But to the peO-
pie none Of these SOLUTIONS are satisfactory.
We must not send a man to prison because
he can not obtain work, aud perhaps there
are a few honest men AMONG the crowd
who would be led into life of sin by evil
associations. We might put q fe W into the
parks but there is not enough for all.
The s0uphouse plan has already proved
