that of the Gavilan Syndicate and River

Are Babies Unnatural Productions P

| To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: Mr. Bowman's letter in yours
of the 23d instant excusing himself for
voting and acting with the Populists
while his views are those of the Social
lists. touches upon a problem that is
presenting itself to many.
1, as a Socialist, am in full sympathy
with the Chicago platform, except the
silver plank" The personnel Of the fol-
lowers of that platform are much nearer
to me than Hanna's cohorts, known as
the Republican party, but am l JUSTIFIED
| in voting for silver on this. account.
when l not only believe it to be use
| less, but actually a bad measure, for
the workingmen in particular and the
country in general. The reasons why
Socialists are against silver are well
known to everyone who has followed the
question with any attention. l will not
go into the argument, pro and con, OF
silver here, as this letter is simply writ
ten to throw light on the vexed question
of policy to be decided upon by Socialists
who are admittedly against silver, but
who think it better to swallow the pill
and act with the Populists than.to act
as a separate party by themselves.
| I claim that it is practically impossi-
BILE for an honest Socialist who has a
clear and sound knowledge Of the eco
Monies involved in the silver question
10 act with the Populists. His Socialist
theory is that the free coinage of silver
will debase the standard of value and
hence diminish the purchasing power
of wages, with a net result of helpin g
solely the employing class. Now this
theory may be entirely wrong, but it is
the universal theory of every educated
Socialist in every part Of the world, and
I challenge Mr.. Bowman. if he denies
it, to show me any authorized document
issued by a Socialist party anywhere
that will discredit the statement.
How, then, can a Socialist speak from
a Populist platform, eandwiched in be-
tween other speakers who are enunciat-
| ing views entirely opposed to his own.
If he remains silent on silver the audi
ence naturally must believe he comedies
with the other speakers, and if he Shout
differ from them he would be Kissed
from the meeting as wolf in sleeps
clothing.
Suppose Bryan had been elected. and
that silver was by this time coined free
and that the Socialist prediction had
come true of no good result following?
Would not the Democratic party be
in the same discreditedi position before
the country that the Republican party
now occupies, with it's unfulfilled prom
Uses of prosperity?
What picture for the gods would the
Bowmane then present to their delude 4
followers in trying to justify their lead
ership by explaining that they never
really believed in the efficacy Of free sill
yer as remedy, but they had advocated
1t, to use Mr.. Bowman's own words.

even in spite of this fact and the recent hot

Melons are now beginning to be so plenti-

desired. Many, however, on the market are

The extremely low rates from this point

The attempt of the Detroit Tribune

The attempt of the Detroit Tribune
and other free silver papers to prove
that many democrats who desire to vote
the free silver ticket, by mistake, voted
the national gold democratic ticket, il
too ridiculous TO be considered for a
moment. Indeed, it occurs to us that
members Of the free silver party will
resent being told that they were toe
ignorant TO vote the ticket they desired
to, especially as the vignettes used were
the same as those used at the fall cleo
ton. The fact is that thousands of
democrats III Michigan and other states
have come to realize that the cry for
free coinage of silver is the greatest
political humbug Of the day. The next
election will show a still smaller vote
for the 80 cent dollar party.
