A CORRESPONDENT Of the American

dollars would pass at the bullion value
or at the stamped value, to which that
paper, the organ Of the American
Bankers Association, replies that elf
the United States government should
stamp 'One dollar upon So cents worth

General SickleS are printed, in both of
which the General denounces imagi-
nary proceedings, breads imaginary
evils, and is horror stricken at what he
asserts is an attack on the Vitals Of the
republic. The old man Is beside him

He used to be cOol-headed, sensible,

MY DEAR COMRADE: / ask you to consider
and reflect upon the sacred interests involved
In the present situation Of our public affairs.
know you love your country. You have given
it the best proof Of devotion man can give
you have defended 1t in battle Let me urge
you and every Union veteran to lay aside party
feeling now and unite for National honor and
for law and order, as you did in 81 to IS
against treason and rebellion. The present
crisis seems to me as vital TO the welfare of
the country as that which called US to the
field before. Some Of the principles for which
we then contended are again at stake. Sec
tionAllsm, reputation and mob rule are
threatened. Many of us were obliged to choose
between our country and our party in those
days. 1 feel that this is time when all true
patriots should stand together, preferring
their country, its honor and good faith and
untsrnished name above all mere partisan
considerations
Then the General proceeds to remind
his correspondent that Mr.. Bryan and
his supporters are trying to array the
South and West against the North and
East. General Sickles has no more
reason to make this statement than be
would for saying that when he was at
the head Of volunteer army he was
trying to array the North against the
South. What he was trying to do was
to prevent q dismemberment of the
union. And he knows that Mr.. Bryan
and his supporters are not aiming at
the establishment Of a sectlonSlism,
but the prevention of such q condition.
The silver movement is a protest
against q sectionsllsm that has already
been established by just such men as
General SiCkles himself. It was the
shareholders that wanted Sectionslism

But If he rushes into the political arena
and plays the gladiator there, he may
expect to bs treated ss other politicians

In the letter referred to, General
SlCkles undertakes to tell his old army
companions what Mr.. Bryan and his
friends propose to do. And first he
says they are trying to combine the
South and West against the North and
East.
There is no truth In this statements
What Bryan and his friends are trying
to do Is to get rid Of the now existing
Eastern domination over all the rest of
the country.
Again be says: "Mr. Bryan proposes
to pSy all the creditors of our govern
ment In silver" General Sickles can
not find q word or sentence in Mr..
.Brysn'B public utterances nor in the
platform of either Of the parties that
have made him their candidate for the
p reBidenCy, that can be properly con-
strued to mean that he or they propose
to pay all our public obligations with
silver. What he and they want to pay
with Is the lawful coin Of the country
ct the time the obligations were In.
CURED. Every debt we owe Is payable
In coin Of the standard value Of July
IA, 1870; that is, In standard silver dol
lars Of 4l21s grains each, and gold
coins at the standard weight Of 25.8
grains to the dollar. We want to pay
just what we promised to pay, and
nothing more or less.
Again, the General says: "Mr. Bryan
RssailS the obligations Of public and
private contracts" Where did Gen.
eral SlCkles get such informstionS He
says, further, that che (Brysn) would
not pay the public creditors In the
money they have the legal and moral
right to demand and receive"
What kind Of money have our cred
itOrS q legal and moral right to de-
mand aud receiver Surely none other
than what was the lawful money of the
country when the creditors became en-
titled to demand and receive anything.
The only obligations our public cred.
itOrS hold are bonds which, on their
face, show that they are ''redeemable
= In coin Of the standard value
Of July IA, 1870" The words Of the
obligation are printed on every bond.
The last act Of Congrss authorizing the
sale Of bonds was the refunding act Of
July IA, 1870, and the words Of that act
are "redeemRble In coin Of the present
standard value" and all bonds issued
sinCe that date have the words above
quoted printed on their face.
There Is no room for mistake about
this. When the third Of the late four
issues Of bonds was sold, the syndicate
told the President they would take 3
per cent. bonds in place of 4 per cents
If Congress would enact that the bonds
should be paid In gold instead Of In
coin. That IA evidence conClusive that
