Elizabeth, ". J., Oct. 25.--charles
n. Fowler. congressman from the fifth

open letter to Sen Nelson w. Aldrich,

mittee OF the senate, challenging him
To a joint debate in one or more cities,
on the subject of central bank.
In the letter, Mr.. Fowler says he is
opposed to the establishment of a
central bank, under existing condi-

would come a most discouraging and
disheartening favoritism and the ulti-
mate destruction of our purely indi-
vidual and independent form OF bank
ing. The letter follows:
Just before you started for Europe
In August, 1t was stated in the press
Of the country that as result OF a
meeting Of the monetary commission
OF which you are chairman a central

from Europe, you would proceed to
