terest rates from accumulation in

farmers. decrease in government rev.
enues. distress Of employers of labor,
decrease in demand Of labor and in
crease Of imports from silver using
countries. The condition Of affairs in
the United States. Germany and Eng
land is cited in support Of these state
ments
The contention Of the gold monomet-
auists thar lower prices in the gold
countries are caused by cheapened pro-
cesses of production and not by an alb
solute appreciation Of sold is fatty con-
tradicted by the Japanese commission,
which says that in examining the rise
and fall OF prices Of commodities it is
seen that they have fallen considera-
bly, in gold countries during the last
quarter Of a century, while they have
not changed very much in silver coun-
tries. except as regards some tendency
to- rise during these last two or three
years.
There being many causes which eff
feet the prices of commodities, we can
not attribute this rise or fan only to
the fluctuations of sold or silver. Yet
we may say that the considerable fall
i'm prices of commodities in gold cOun-
tries in general shows the equally re-
markabIe rise of gold as against silver,
while the rather stationary condition OF
commodities. with some tendency TO
rise in silver countries. shows that sill
yer has only lately begun to decline as
against commodities. however great the
decline may be as against gold. We
therefore conclude that the considera-
BILE fan in prices of commodities in
gold countries is mainly due to the rise
of gold. and the small rise in prices Of
commodities fin silver countries mainly
TO- the small depreciation of silver

FREE SILVER THE ISSUE.

Makes a Ringing Reply to the Lot

Washburn-He Says McKinley's
Election Was Secured by Fraud,
Bribery and Misrepresentation
and Was Not the Deliberate Yer
dict Of the People.

ST. LOUIS. Mo, January 3l-National
Popuust Secretary ]. \. Edgerton, of Lin
coin. Neb., has written a call for ma
tional conference of Populists at Kansas
city. Mo, February 90 1891, and forwarded
it to Chairman Marion Butler, lrgIrs
him to issue the same.
About two weeks ago George F. Wash
burn. of Boston, member Of the People
party national committee. issued an APP
peal to the Populists Of the United
States. which was generally published all
over the country. This appeal practically
advised Populsts to abandon the silver
issue and to take up the question Of gov
eminent issue of paper money and
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
of railroads. Secretary Edgerton soon
after received the following letter from
Mr.. Washburn:
My Dear Mr.. Edgerton:-Enc'osed /

sued last week. The Boston Herald has

THE REPLY.

THE REPLY.
In his reply. which is dated Lincoln.
Neb.. January S0th. Secretary Edgerton
says:
Hon. George T. Washburn, Boston, Mass.
MY Dear Sir:-The Peoples party has
always contended for scientific money It
has always contended for the govern
ment ownership of railro u. No 'chenge
of the lighting issue is necessary to bring
these questions TO the front. so far as
Populists are concerned
1T has always contended also for the
free coinage Of silver. II should not aban-
don this issue simply because another
party has taken it up, but should rather
support it the more zealously. It should
welcome the assistance and would vie
with the newcomers as to who shall give
the free coinage issue the most
UNITED AND EFFECTIVE
support.
The Peoples party was the first 10 raise
the free silver standard. Must it abandon
that standard simply because another
party has come TO its support? No. Right
does not cease TO be right because it gains
new adherents And to say that we will
not advocate a right principle simply be-
cause another party promises to share
the credit for carrying It to success, seems
to be playing the boy.
That is too narrow and selfish course
for the Peoples party. There can be no
change of the lighting issue until the
cause is won. The lines OF the fight are
already drawn. No question is ever set
tied until IL is settled right. Mckinleys
election was secured by bribery, misrep-
resentation and
OUTRIGHT FRAUD
II was not the deliberate verdict Of the
American people The fight must be made
over again. and next time it will be won.
II believe that more and more the re-
form sentiment Of the country is turn
ing to the Populist platform in its entire
ty. Its manly and unselfish attitude in the
last campaign has inspired confidence.
u agree with you that the fight should
be pushed. but not that the issue should
be changed: and in place of abandoning
one plank and taking the two which you
propose. 1 would carry on the work Of
education for:
81. The free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at 16 to l.
80. Supplemental issue of paper money
direct by the government.
20. Government ownership of railroads
and telegraph.
very truly yours.
