"a. The, letter begun:
Columbus, O., June "a, 190S.-My
Dear Sir: I am in receipt Of your
esteemed favor of May II 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 16 to 1
was sound and that If conditions were
the same now as then it would be an
issue and that you would support 1t
with the same energy you did then.
In answer thereto 1 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 If you have been
wrong for the last twelve years on
such a vital question affecting our
government and our people you may
advocate many other questions equally
as detrimental to our people"

BRYAN STICKS TO
SILVER FALLACy.
Declines to Let the Public Share His
Present Monetary Beliefs.
Unpublished Correspondence Re.
veals Him Still Tenacious to
the Theory Of 16 to 1.

w. ]. Bryan, Democratic candidate
for President, would, if he were elect
ed, and if the conditions of the coun-
try seemed to him to become the same
as they were in 1896, favor the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at a
ratio Of 16 to 1, just as he did in 1896.
At least so he said in a 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 it 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 it to be
printed.
Answer to Taft's Inquiry.
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 permits
sion
Mr.. Taft said Of Mr.. Bryan:
"He does not now say whether he is
still in favor Of the free coinage Of
silver. He does not now answer the
question whether, If he were President
and an exigency should arise in which
he would be called upon to exercise his
discretion affirmatively to maintain the
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 "a
Presidential candidate that with equal
eloQuence you argued in favor of free
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
OF 16 to l, but since you have changed
your mind and intimate that you may
in time change your mind in regard to
the question Of guaranteed banks
"Were you right then, and If the
conditions were the same noE as then
would you favor free coinage Of gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1?
JAMES B. ROSS"
Mr.. Bryan's reply was delayed until
May. Then he wrote a letter marked
Personal" which Capt. Ross refuses
to publish unless Mr.. Bryan consents.
But Mr.. Bryan refuses to consent.
Not Satisfactory to Ohioan.

ever, 10 revealed in the second letter

To the Editor Of the New York World !:
The World plays fair with both cam
didates, Bryan and Taft. That is why
half Of your readers are Republicans.
Two weeks ago I wrote you indorsing
Bryan. Since then l have changed my
mind and shall vote for Taft.
do this because Bryan, If elected,
will have a Republican Senate and
House opposed to him. Not a bill can
be passed without the aid of the Re-
publicans. Bryan will be tied hand and
foot. Taft, If elected, will be foot-free
He will have experienced cabinet OFF,
GERS, like Root, Straus, Garfield and
Cortelyou ready to 60 right to work
and bring the old prosperity back.
Bryan can do nothing but wrangle
and cause delay. What does he know
about Panama, the Philippines, Cuba,
the South American republics and our
army and navy?

ence in Craftsmanship and a full I'M
derstanding of the laboring mans con-
dition."
Taft Stands for Progress.
The Rev. Nelson will support Taft
because he believes that candidate
stands for the most progressive policies.
All Of these men, it will be observed,
are able to give good reasons for their
political attitude, and this is the in
variable rule. where poverty and
want among thousands would result
from unfortunate disturbances, extreme
caution is necessary in choosing the
head Of the government" remarks the
Rev. Olson, adding, eve can place i'm
plicit confidence in Mr.. Taft"
"No thinking man can have any con-
fidence in Bryan" asserts the Rev G.
A. Brandelle, Of Denver. II shall vote
for Taft because his character as q
statesman is faultless and because he
is experienced and broad-minded and
will push along the good things Presi-
dent Roosevelt has started" declares
the Rev. Adolf Hult, Of Omaha.
The Rev. N. ]. Forsberg, Of Calumet,
Mich; the Rev. Carl P. Edblom, of
Andover, ILL.,; the Rev. Carl Almin, of
Iron Mountain, Mich; the Rev. J. Elk
holm, Of Newman Grove, Neb., and the
Rev. s. G. Newman, of New Britain,
Conn, are a few Of the hundreds of
Swedish ministers who are earnestly
supporting Taft, not because they have
| to, but because of conviction.
Let Bryan Talk and Taft Rule.
"Mr Bryan may have virtues, but
| political honesty is not one of them,"
says the Rev. Forsberg ''Let Bryan
talk and let Taft rule" The Rev. Almin
declares the people Of the Michigan
mining districts remember with sad
ness the blessings Of free trade" The
Rev. Ekholm says it would be the height
Of folly to sidetrack the good work in
stituted by President Roosevelt. "The
more Bryan talks" remarks the Rev.
Newman, "the more he shows his in
J competency as statesman"
More interviews are unnecessary to
show the political trend among the
Swedish-American voters, and it is safe
to say that their solid vote may be
counted in the Republican column.

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 Judge
Parker was certainly not less than was
that Of the campaign fund of Roose-
velt
organs own brother and brother in
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 so.
Before Bryan fires off 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 what
became of it."

ton of intelligence? And yet no edu-
cational influence is more far reaching
in it's effects, more practical in its re-
suits, than that of rural delivery.
Have we appropriated a hundred
millions for increase and support of
our navy, whose benefits are great in
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 and
pay it's 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,
than all the navies built by all our
millions expended? The people de-
mand this service, and it 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.
Makes Country Life Attractive.
Rural free delivery taken in connec-
Wi hn FOL no 10
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
and restless men and women from the
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
it is one Of the causes which check
the unwholesome tendency toward ur-
utih SohSCAIlollOh VI Jul pOpuldIIOu
at the expense of the country district.
Championed 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
situations, against which no really in
telligent citizen should dare to raise
his voice. In his message to Congress
in 1900, referring to this service, Pres
ident 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 it 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 so that the
augmented revenues and accomplished
savings together materially reduce the
net cost"

Watterson's Ex-Opinfon of Bryan.

Watterson's Ex-Opfnfon of Bryan.
In 1896 this is what Henry Waiter
son thought Of Mr.. Bryan:
"Mr. William ]. Bryan has come to
Kentucky and Kentuckians have taken
his measure. He is boy orator. He
is a distinguished dodger. He is a
daring adventurer. He is political
faker. He is not of the material Of
which the people of the United States
have ever made a President, nor is he
even of the material Of which any
party has ever before made a caIidi-
date for the Presidency.
This youngster, who has set himself
up as the financial teacher Of the
American people, travels over the land
with tireless tongue and volulni-
nous vocabulary blandly telling the
people of the impossible things that
win happen in the future with free
coinage of silver when he is utterly
ignorant of the simplest facts of our
past financial history"

MIR. TAFT ON THE AVOID
ANCE OF INDUSTRIAL
STRUGGLES.

There is a class Of capitalists
who look upon labor unions rs
vicious per Sc, and a class Of rad
ical labor unionists who look
upon capital as 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 larger class, neither capital
list nor labor unionist, w,'o are
without prejudice, and l 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. I earnestly hope that a
more conservative and conci.ia-
tory attitude on both sides may
avoid the destructive struggles Of
the past.
