Another Reply to the Secretary of
the "sound-Money" League.

Suffolk. Va. September Is. 1895.
Mr. John X. Wise, Secretary, etc, Rich
mond, Va:
Sir-Yours OF September 18th, Issuing
from the ound-Money League OF Rich
mond, Va, is received this day and noted.
The author Of the suggestion that l will
be glad TO cooperate with your league
in it's undertaking is wholly at fault. j
am Democrat, and hold unswervingly
to the "sound-money doctrine" which. /
believe IS to be secured ultimately bc
the free coinage OF both gold and silver
at a ratio of l6 to 1. Sound money f. de
sirable and needed. but such doctrine as
you are handing around seems 10 me bet
ter adapted 10 the preparation Of cor
ners and trusts, and monopolies and syn
dicate interests, which combines to tight
en- the strings of hardship and oppression
on our poor people, making them poorer
all the while Just let me say once for
all, for myself and many others, whom
you would decoy from the path of politi-
cal duty and rectitude, that IL is humili-
ating in the extreme when men calling
themselves Democrats will resort TO such
means as your immortal 100 are using
20 destroy the time-honored principles Of
the Democratic party; that too. under
the guIse OF maintaining Democratic prin-
ciples, when II is only too evident that
your hypocritical pretensions expose your
secret purpose OF defeating the nominee OF
the National Democratic Convention.
We can all plainly see the head OF the
Mckinley "cat In the meat-tub," and
unite in invoking as follows: 1.-THE voice
of all true Democrats on the 3rd of No
vember rebuke thee" l.. ]. COSTIN.

Of the silver product. and even more. the
value OF that legislation has already been
apparent In the enhanced value given TO

II an act creating a demand for 4,5OO0D
ounces of silver a month enhanced its
value. how can It be argued that an act
creating an unlimited demand would not
restore II to It's position Of 1873?
