intended deception, and inasmuoh as the
millions Of promises Of prosperity and
employment, made during the late cam

toned on your election, you are the one
person who should direct me to that par.
tloulsr spot on earth where those promises
are being fulfilled. Do not think you OF
your friends will give me any offepse by
proving that 1 am deoeiver OF labor, for
the good Lord knows that all l am in
body, mind and soul is but flash Of a
feeble ray compared with the great sun
Of human Kindness which will illuminate
the hearts of the world IL you will an
nounoe the places where three million poor
wretohed, unemployed working people In
America can find an opportunity to earn
food, clothing and shelter.
You and your friends promised these
blessings in consideration for enough
votes to elect you president. The fact
that you are not yet inaugurated in not q
valid excuse, fol. the working people were
promised employment and good times as
soon as your election was known, and
confidence, sou know, has no fixed date
for Inauguration; besides, you did not
wait until after the 4th of next March to
press the electric button and start the
machinery that was to produce the
ground swell of prosperity.
But before 1 over-tax your patience
with long reading, desire to ask you one
more question.
At p. M, Monday, Novemb ber 23,
boarded a Santa Fe train at Chicago for
Kansas City, and on the opposite side of
the smoking compartment OF the coach
from whsre sat was gon tlsman Of
middle age whose personal appearance
ssvored of aflluenoe and luxury. A short
distance out Of Chicago another gentle
man entered the compartment and the
first gentleman said, Hello, Bailey"
They passed few compliments and began
talking about railroads and matters In
general. Finally the conversation drifted
into politics. The fret gentleman said,
" Bailey, say to you oandidly that
have 10000 acres Of land in Kansas that
cost me round $1,000 and l would
sell IL all today for $50, 900. 1 never want
it known that ever invested dollar IN
that state or lived there single day. l
tell you 1t Is disgracs to live in the
State of Kansas. The Popplists have
elected the entire state ticket"
Then he gave utteranoe to long string
Of profanity.
Bailey, do you know that these free
silver cranks will never submit until they
are starved to itP l would just like to see
them starve. 1t would have cost me
million dollars, but in the long run 1t
would have been we'll II Bryan had been
elected, so We could have starved the
cranks into subn i,sion. Why, the free
silver fools are going right on with. tn ir
aocursed agitation, and we will have to
starye them into submission sooner or
later. think after they starve for |
while they will be submit issive enough. 1 |
was uown In Wall street few days ago,
and they say down there that they have
plenty Of money, but not dollar for
Kansas. Starve the damn oranks, is the
policy of Wall street.
few minutes later he stepped ont Of
The compartment and asked Mr.. Bailey
10 psase give me the name Of the gentle
nan he had just been conversing with.
why" said he, "tbat gentleman Ia
Joe HRmpson, a money king, and great
contractor. He owns 10000
,cres Of land In Chase oounty, Kansas. +"
Now, desire you to inform me II the
o: the working people is to be
confined TO the states that cast their elec-
oral votes for you for presidentp would
'lso like to know II a com bination Of
money loaners down in Wall street, who
millions to elect you, intend
% retaliate against the states which elect
ID Bryan electors and Peoples party or
rec silver Democrats to state and local
,ffices?
This iuormation would give me a
general idea Of where the nucleus Of your
prosperity boom will not be found, and
will not make the sad mistake Of
dvising working people to seek employ
nent in states boyootted and blaoklisted
" your friends In Wall street. would
Ike to ask you some questions about
armers and country merchants, who
we're overloaded with proni.es by your
Impaign managers, hut will ask than
n another letter at later date.
Respectfully yours,
j. K. Sovereign,
General Master Workman.
