 Washington, June 27. 1901. Hon. John T. Morgan, Warm Springs,
 My Dear senator--I sincerely hope you will be able to be with us on the 4th of July. You can rest assured that you can talk as long as, or as little as you please. You win be heal d with the greatest attention, and l am confident that your speech will be acceptable to the New York Democracy.
 have read with great interest your proposed blanks for the next national platform and personally favor all but one.
 As to the first: "The payment of the national debt with all speed that is consistent with our revenue under fair taxation but with unfaltering determ- ination." heartily support it.
 6econa-"A specie basis for ali bank ing and as the solvent or redeemer of all obligations. public CT private" Yes
 Third-"Stern opposition to all abuses of taxation and the use of the taxing power for the government for personal or party purposes" No man can ob- ject to this.
 rourth-"Holdins stockholders per- sonally liable for all debts of two or more corporations that combine to con- trol markets in commodities that are the subjects of interstate and foreign commerce." Good! am convinced ably dissolve the trusts and rnonopolies now ievying tribute on the people.
 Fffth-"Tree trade between afl places that are within the ownership of the United States without any taxa ton thereon" I heartily support this It will surely come in time.
 Sixth-"The annexation of Cuba with the consent of the people of that isl- and." Ali right.
 seventh-"Trade reciprocity with China secured by treaty" A good proposition. The balance of trade will be greatly in our favor.
 Eighth-"The Democratic party is, and always has been, c white mans ure to the disadvantage of the Demo- cratic party in the North. We have many colored voters in New York city and at least IS per cent of them vote the Democratic ticket. Such plank in the plational platform would drive them all into the Republican ranks.
 Ninth-"Absolutisrn is the enemy of Democracy and the war between them is permanent" Gospel truth.
 Tenth--"If Congress Is absolute it can annul the decision of the Supreme Court by its joint resolution" No one can gainsay it.
 Eleventh-'"The enforcement of the income tax as 1t was re-enacted in the Dingley bill" That is all right.
 Twelfth-"A ship canal through the American isthmus built and owned by the United States on territory acquired from the owners and without the con- sent of any other Government" heartily favor 1t.
 Thirteenth-"The military command of the sea routes between Cuba and Yrcatan and Cuba and San Domingo" We must have it.
 Allow me to say, in conclusion, my dear Senator, that fully recognize the of urging you to attend our on the Fourth in this ex- hot weather. I hope, however, it will become cooler and that you will feel yourself able to be with us. The will be great, as you have already been announced as one of the speakers. Yours sincerely,
 Amos J. Cummings.
