Reply of President Tohn J. VaFen
tiue to Banker JSpitzer's 'At-
tempt to Bnldoze liim.
Ifotiston Post.
Oellan M. SpitzeV bf the bank
ing firm of JSpftzer & Co.j of To
ledo Ohio and New York City
wrote Borne time ago to C. ftl. Hay-
den Toledo aent of the Weiis
Fargo Express company criticising
he action of President Valentine
of the express company in sup
porting William J. Bryan for pres-
ident and threatening to withdraw
from the company the business of
his firm if Mr. "Valentine continued
to give voice to his opinions.
The letter was forwarded to
President Valentine) who replied
in dignified but unmistakable terms
The correspondence; which has just
been made public is in part as fol-
lows: THE THREAT.
To C. M. Hayden Toledo Ohio.
Dear Sir We are somewhat
purprised to read in the promi-
nent papers of the country that J J
Valentine president of the Wells-
Fargo Express company who was
a strong suppbrter of McKinley
four years ago has declared in an
Open letter for Mb. Bryan. If this
is the case it is not necessary for
us to state to you that we shall
ouly use your company when we
are obliged to and shall use every
effort to throw business to other
companies.
We can not afford to do business j
with a company that has at the
head of it a man who is doing
everything he can to destroy our
business. We know of many more
largp customers of yours who are
talking oh the same line but don't
teel like letting vour people know
this. You will find there will be i
T
a big crnspde against yotlr com
pany from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
We think yourpresident is deserv
ing of the same fate that St. John
received who was a prosperous man
at the head of one of the Ianres
bnks in New York. The pressure
brought to bear oil the bank was
80 heavy that the directors were
obliged to ask St. John to resign.
Mr. J. J. Valentiue is not the
proper person to be at the head of
aby financial institution. Any
man who believs in free silver and
Bryanism should not be at the
head of one of the largest financial
institutions of the country. Ho is
simply a traitor to the ca.use and
is bound to riliii the business of
the company by his open letters to
the public. If Bryan should be
elected and this country go on a
free silver basis your banking
business would be ruined as well
as your express business. we
think the directors should im-
mediately ask this man Valentine
to resign for he surely has not
the best interests df the stockhold-
ers and officers at heart but on the
other hand is seeking to destroy
the company's business instead of
helping it. The belief of the chief
executive of any financial institu-
ion should he on the line of build -
Ing op the business of She company
iuntead of destrnviuir it. Yoni
truly - CeTftHi M. Spitzer.
valentine's reply. .
To this Mr. Vrurentiue. TVpli'e"d.in
part:
On the monetary question I am
a gold standard man and wa.one
at the date of the founding of your
house which I see by your letter
heading was 1871. I appeared
as a witness before the monetary
commission of 1876. I have writ
ten Hundreds possibly thousands
of "open letter" pages in behalf
of the gold standard having been
a consistent and resolute advocate
of the same when your candidate
for the presidency Mr. William
McKinley? was what the New York
Evening Post called a "wobbling
silverite" denouncing Grover
Cleveland because he showed the
courage of his convictions and
sustained the gold standard.
I have as already indicated very
steadfastly advocated the gold
standard and as the compauy I
represent does business in forty-
eight of the States and Territories
of the United States and Mexico 1
am sure you will have a high opin
ion of the tolerance of the Amer
ican and Mexicail people when I
tell yoiuthat in all of my twenty-
four years' advocacy of that stand
ard I have no recollection of ever
having received a letter like yours
from auy representative of silver
whatever miuer miue owner
merchant banker politician
statesman or other either in Mex
ico or in the United States.
On the contrary I can say that
in the thick of the fight in 1896
when I published an article an
"opea letter" at least once a week
for some six months in defense of
the gold standard not a single
man (silver republican democrat
populistj prohibitionist or what
not) ever suggested the infliction
of a penalty for such exercise of
my freedom of thought and expres-
sion. It remained for ydu as if an
appointed conservator of Mammon
regardless of human rights aotably
the two fundamental rights men-
tioned to do so.
I reiterate what I have already
alluded to that there are matters
of greater moment than money or
trade namely human rights. Be-
tween the claim of freedom that all
men are entitled to equal poHtical
rights end the dogma of tyranny
that might makes right there is no
middle ground. Hence I shall con-
tinue to speak my miud at wifl
and when election day comes 1
shall in the courage of my convic-
tions cast my vote for the Hon.
W. J. Bryatrfor president. Yours
very truly John J. Valentine.
THE ST. JOHN CASE.
The late William P. Sc. John re-
ferred fo in Mr. Spitzer's Ietier
was forced to resign from the pres-
idency of the Mercantile National
bank of NewL York. City because of
his support of William J. Bryan
and the free silver platform in
1896.
He $ras one f the Ablest finan-
ciers of the country; and his open
indorsement of and abla arirmnenu
for the free silver policy Wh uvi-r
.many converts and greatly discon-
certed the .republican managers'
who Ylenmrid'ed that lie Vie gagged.
With the eonrage of his convic-
tions however Be resigned his
position and ably supported &'r.

GERMAN PAPER
ON A TARIFF WAR.
Berlin; Nov. 6. The Cologne
Volksblund; the leading centrist
organ discussing the growth of tho
United States iii population anci
wealth says: "A tariff war could
be waged against the United States
only by the European states com-
bined. If Germany alone were to
mftkft t hf attPmnt lPf iWrtnctrioa
and commerce wonld have to foot
the bill while other nations wouIcT
get the advantage. However un-
pleasant the admission is never-
theless it remains true that we nrd
unable to undertake alone economic
measures against a nation of 76-
000000 and enormous resources.
