THE PART OF BRYAN'S LETTER
OMITTED.

THE PART OF BRYAN'S LETTER
OMITTED.
Last week we called attention to the
fact that very few Democratic papers
had published Bryan's strong letter in
favor of cooperation. We also called
attention to the fact that some of the
few papers that pretended to publish
the letter left out part of it, without
making any statement or explanation
to that effect. We have received q
number of letters asking US to publish
that part of Mr.. Bryan's letter which
was omitted by certain Democratic pa
pers.
The part of the letter omitted by the
News and Observer is as follow:
Many millions of our people believe
that the reforms above enumerated will
bring vast advantages to the producers
of wealth, but whether the advantage
be much or little, these are the things
which lie Immediately in front of US.
and they must be decided one way or
the other before remote questions.
even though they be greater ones, can
be seriously considered. What though
there be questions which may ulti.
mately separate those who fought to-
gether in the last campaign, will the
Democrats, POpulists or Silver Repub-
licans be the worse for having secured
these things for which they are Joint
ly contending?
Agitation is means to an end, not
the end itself. To secure q few things
Is better than to advocate many things
and get nothing. Our opponents not
emily recognize that there is strength
in union, but they also recognize that
there is weakness in division, and
therefore they may be expected to pre-
sent united front whenever the in
terests of aggregated wealth are at
tackled, and they may be expected to
spread discussions wherever possible
among the reform forces.
Schemes of the Enemy.
The Democrats will be warned
against becoming tainted with Popu-
lism, and yet Jefferson denounced
banks of issue, and Jackson entered in

fore there was a Populist party, while
the bimetallic system was established
in the United States before any politi-
cal party was organized. Our enemies

alton with the Democrats, and with

Another big trust has been FORM
ed, with a capital Of fifty millions

it is the wire manufacturers, and
the firm Of j. p. Morgan & Co., OF
New York is virtually at the head
Of it. We have so-called antitrust
laws on the statute books but they
are never enforced. The wire trust

The Railroad Commission in stand

So few men are able to stand up fol-
justice and equity between the people

REPUBLISHED BY REQUEST,

A few weeks ago THE CAUCASIAN
published letter written by Senator
Butler, Chairman of the Peoples party
National Committee to Mr.. John c..
Young, Chairman of Populist State
Committee of Oregon. Chairman
Young had written Chairman Butler a
letter in which he pointed out num-
Der of evidences of the insincerity of
certain Democratic leaders in Oregon.
showing that they were not really for
Bryan, but were at heart goldbugs and
supporters of Cleveland. Besides, he
called attention to the many offensive
things said and done by certain Dem
ocratic newspapers and politicians in
oregon, and then asked how it was
possible for the Peoples party to CO.
operate with party led by such men?
Senator Butler replied, giving at some
length his opinion as to what duty and
patriotism required of Populists and all
others who are honestly opposed to
the gold standard and monopoly rule
at this critical juncture. Chairman
Buffers letter has been widely pub
lished and commented on. The
CAUCASIAN has had considerable
demand for extra copies, and by re-
quest it has decided to re-publish the
letter. It will be found in another
column of this issue. Inasmuch as
the letter deals with the very questions
that are now most deeply concerning
the POpulists in this State and in every
State in the Union, we will invite our
readers to send us short commuica-
tions expressing their opinion of the
letter; the sentiments expressed, the
arguments advanced, and the policy
outlined. We would like for our
readers to state whether or not they
endorse the letter, If not, their objec-
tiOns to the arguments advanced and
to the course which Chairman Butler
outlines as in his opinion the wisest
course to pursue.
WHO Is SINCERE AND WHO IS NOT.
The Democratic State Committee at
Its recent meeting in a half-hearted
and dubious manner endorsed Chair
man Jones address favoring co-opera-
ton. When the Populist State Com
mittee meets on April 5th we trust
that it will have the wisdom and pa
triotism to endorse all three of the ad-
dresses calling for a cooperation, and
having done so we feel sure that the
Populist Committee will exhibit more
evidence of sincerity than many men,
bers of the Democratic State Commit
tee have exhibited since their meeting.
There is no question that the rank
and file of the Peoples party so!1dly
and earnestly endorse the sentiment
of those addresses. Even the recent
unofficial" conference held in Raleigh,
(Which cannot be said to have been
truly representative of the party, and
which certainly contained some parties
claiming to represent certain counties
when indeed they have no following
among Populists in such counties, and
certainly could not be elected as dele
gates representing the Populists of
their county, endorsed these addresses
by q vote of more than two to one.
