Editor Independent: I thank you
most heartily for your notice Of my
book In The Independent. did not
really expect many immediate re-
sponses, az 1t usually takes q week
or two tor an idea TO soak into most
minds sufficiently to produce results,
but your paper reached me Friday
evening and remittance was received
from one of your Kansas City. MO-,
readers Saturday morning. Sunday
brought another from Kansas, and to-
day from Nebraska, from Indiana,
and 1 from Missouri-sevenp places In
all. The enclosures being for from
one to five copies each.
This is certainly good beginning,
and indicates several things: a. that
your paper is widely circulated; (2)
that it is read promptly; I'd that
your subscribers have confidence in
you-as all they know about my book
is what you said Of it; ca that there
really is a general interest in the
Money Problem which can be easily
famed into a confagratiOn. This is
further indicated by some OF the .ex-
pressions in the letters received. One
writer says: II imagine the publ
cation is timely and to the point"
Another, 81 think, from the article in
The Independent, you must be on the
right TRAIL and still another. This
little work will be Of much value to
those that wish to understand the
money question "a A rolling stone
gathers no moss. A party that con-
stantly changes its principles grows
weaker instead of stronger; and
therefore the quicker we get back to
original principles, and take our stand
once more on the bedrock of monetary
reform the better it will be for hui
mainly. ALBERT GRIFFIN.

No Choice Between Bad Eggs.

Editor independent: | am in re-

the recrganizers getting control again
in the democratic party.

1892 and the st. Louis platform of
1896.

faith, too, with the Bryan wing of the

heartily if it holds control of its ma

had made up my mind that had a
safe refuge from taking choice be-
tween Roosevelt and Cleveland by 'vot-
ing straight for Debs. 1t is the folly
of large part of our independent
voters to take the other rotten egg,
when the managers shrewdly give
them choice.
j That game has, been successfully
1 played on all of us for years past.
/ wish to say that have no choice
between rotten eggs. | am opposed
to fusion with either of the old par
ties, and when we permit our disgust
of our own old party's choice, to drive
us to vote for the other old party's
candidate, we most effectually fuse

Of the Western Federation Of Labor,
in a speech every plainly intimated
that some Or the judges Or the sup
erme court Of Colorado were likely
TO be prejudIced and decide the case
not according to laws,bdt according
to their sympathies.
William ]. Bryan, in his Chicago
speech, declared that sympathy Tor
the people was mbre to be commend!
ed in a Judge than learning in the
law. In Albuquerque men who dis.
liked a decision made in the recent
injunction case by Judge B. s. Baker.
Of Albuquerque. jeered at the Official
on the street and made insulting re-
marks. r.
A more m~ischevious tendency than
these remarkable occurrences indi.
cate could not exist in the country.
Place sympathy in the place Of ndeli.
fly to law and justice; destroy or i'm.
pair the high mission Of our courts
and this country might as well throw
over its government and give was to
