Dear Sir: am in receipt OF your
esteemed favor Of May - in reply to
my letter to you of March % last
wherein you state that your argument
in 1896 in support Of free coinage Of
gold and silver at the ratio OF 10 to l
was sound and that II conditions were
the same now as then it would be an
issue and that you would support it
with the same energy you did then.
In answer thereto I beg to submit the
following:''
Then follows Capt. Ross own views
on the monetary situation. He closes
by saying:
IF you were wrong then, you have
been wrong for the last twelve years
and are wrong now on the question
under discussion. You were then and
are now the leader Of one OF the great
political parties. and II you have been
wrong for the last twelve years on
such vital question affecting our
government and our people you may
advocate many other questions equally

BRYAN's CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

Tom Watson, the Populist Leader,
Recalls Certain Contributions.
(From Statement of Thomas e. Wat
son.)
Bryan well knew that the Parker
campaign fund of 1904 was raised by
the Wall street element of his party
He said SO time and time again in pub
lie speeches and written editorials.
"Yet, he himself did not hesitate to
use that campaign fund It was the
money Of Ryan and Belmont which
paid for the luxurious special train en-
ployed by Bryan in his campaigning
for Parker.
According to Bryan himself, the
source Of the campaign fund Of Judan
Parker was certainly not less than wA
that Of the campaign fund Of Roose
welt.
"Bryan's own brother and brother D.
law got $4,000 Of the Parker funds
and violated the law Of Nebraska by
their failure to render an account Of
what went with it.
THAT $4,000 came from August
Belmont and Thomas F. Ryan, two Of
the most notorious Of corporation Grim
inals and corruptionists, and although
Bryan said he would refund the money
he has not done 30.
Before Bryan fires of his man Pet
tigrew at me again he had better do
one of two things, either disgorge Ryan
and Belmont's $4,000 or explain wha.
became Of it."

W. J. Bryan. Democratic candidate

ed and II the conditions of the coun-
try seemed to him to become the same
as they We're in 1896. favor the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at q
ratio OF 16 TO !, just as he did in 1895.
At least SO he said in personal letter
written some months ago to Capt.
James Ross. Of Columbis. Ohio. and
now for the first time brought to the
attention OF the public.
But strange though 1t may seem to
the unsophisticated Mr.. Bryan most
emphatically does not want his con-
victions on this subject made public
He not only refuses to discuss the
question. but he also refuses to allow
his former discussion of 1t to b.
printed.

However, the problem which puzzled
Mr.. Taft in his speech delivered last
Monday in Cincinnati now is solved.
And thereby hangs tale and five inter-
esting letters. Four Of the letters
throw much light on Mr.. Bryan's atti-
tude toward free silver" though the
most important of all, the letter which
Mr.. Bryan marked Personal" cannot
be printed unless he gives his permis-
sion.
Mr.. Taft said OF Mr.. Bryan:
"He does not now say whether he Is
still In favor Of the free coinage of

and an exigency should arise in which
he would be called upon to exercise his
discretion affirmatively to maintain tie
parity between silver and gold. he
would exercise that discretion"
Capt. Ross Letter to Bryan.
Last March Capt. Ross was ponder
ing on the same question, and his
wonder took form of letter to Mr.,
Bryan. which in part Is as follows:
at is said by some that during for
mer campaigns in which you were
Presidential candidate that with equal
eloquence you argued in favor of free
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
Of 16 to I, but since you have changed
your mind and intimate that you may

MR.. TAFT Oh THE AVOID
ANCE OF INDUSTRIAL
STRUGGLES.

There is a class of capitalists
who look upon labor unions n
vicious per Sc, and class Of rad
ical labor unionists who look
upon capital az labor's natural
enemy. l believe. however, that
the great majority Of each class
are gradually becoming more con-
ciliatory in their attitude the one
toward the other. Between them
Is a larger class, neither capital
list nor labor unionist, w.'o are
without prejudice, and I hope I
am one of those. The effects of
the panic are not over. We must
expect Industrial depression. This
may be fruitful Of labor contro-
versies. earnestly hope that a
more conservative and couci.ia-
tory attitude on both sides may
avoid the destructive struggles of

maintaining our peace with all ma
tons: Having done this. shall we
say we cannot appropriate so much
as the cost Of two battleships for ru-
raj free delivery: Shall we not ex-
tend the benefits OF this system aud
pay its carriers living wages. when
such extension would do more to keep
the nation protected against foreign
foes. by increasing the intelligence,
and therefore the efficiency of the peo-
pie. who must finally man our ships,

mand this service. and II is not safe
TO say that the thousands of petition
ers who have asked Republican Con
gress to extend it. do not want it.
There is no government employe who
brings so much satisfaction to the peo-
pie. who works as hard. everything
considered. and who receives So little
pay, as a rural letter carrier.
Rural free delivery taken in connec-
tion with the telephone, the bicycle
and the trolley. accomplishes much to-
ward lessening the isolation of farm
life and making it brighter and more
attractive. In the immediate past the
lack of Just such facilities as these
has driven many of the more active
a nd ho
farms to the cities. for they rebelled
at loneliness and the absence of men,
tai companionship. 1t is unhealthy
and undesirable for the cities to grow
at the expense of the country, and
rural free delivery Is not only a good
thing in itself, but it is good because
1t is one of the causes which check
the unwholesome tendency toward ur-
ban concentration OF our population,
at the expense of the country district.
Championcd by Republican Party.
Under Republican rule this service,
fraught with so much good to the
people of the rural communities. has
been nurtured. and cared for until It
has become one OF our permanent In
telligent citizen should dare to raise
his voice. In his message to Congress
in 1900, referring to this service, Pres
idelt Mckinley said:
This service ameliorates the isola-
ton of farm life. conduces to good
roads. and Quickens and extends the
dissemination of general Information.
Experience thus far has tended to al
lay the apprehension that it would be
SO expensive as to forbid its general
adoption and make 1t a serious burden.
Its actual application has shown that
it increases postal receipts and can be
accompanied by reduction in other
branches of the service 30 that the
augmented revenues and accomplished
savings together materially reduce the
