In a letter to be printed tomorrow in

he regarded the free coinage Of silver as
a panacea for national ills, but because it
furnished a rallying cry and comm N
ground against the trusts, SyndiCates .aud
corporations, and, once united, they courd
press forward against industrial slavery.
He says that 80 per cent OF organized

outnumbered those who We're organized
The ballot, however much it has BEEN

are in industrial bondage.
The leaders OF the socialist army, he
says, have thrown open the door of hope
