Here is some more of Cleye-
land’s letter writing.
In a recent letter to the New
York Democratic Editors associa-
tion President Cleveland said:
When a campaign is actually on
foot to force the free, unlimited and
independent coinage of silver by the
government at a ratio which will
add to our circulation unrestrained
millions of so-called dollars intrin-
sically worth but half the amount
they purport to represent, with no
provision or resource to make good
any deficiency in value, and when it
is claimed that such a proposition
has any relation to the principles of
democracy it is time for all who may
in the least influence democratic
thought to realize their responsibili-
ty. Our party is the party of the
people, not because it is wafted
hither and thither by every sudden
wave of misconception, but because
while it tests every proposition by
the doctrines which underlie its or-
ganization, it insists that all inter-
ests should be defended in the ad-
ministration of the government
without special favor or discrimina-
tion. Our party is the party of the
people because in its care lor the
welfare of all countrymen it resists
dangerous schemes born of discon-
tent, advocated by appeals to sec-
tional or class prejudices and rein-
forced by the insidious aid of private
selfishness and cupidity,
“Will add to oar circulation
unrestrained millions of socall-
ed dollars intrinsically worth
but half the amount they pro-
pose to represent.”
The milk of the entire mat-
ter is expressed in the sentence.
The circulation will not have
strings on it and the power of
the gold bugs to contract and
expand the circulation to add
to their own wealth at the ex-
pense the producer will be at
an end. Restraint on the cur-
rency is just what they want
and they further want the
amount of money so small that
a little pifefie Will buy a large
slice ot a farmer’s produce. The
old twadle of making good the
depreciated' dollar is bandied
about as usual. They never
do any fussing about making
good the depreciated values of
produce, 0, no, that is not their
loss, but as soon as its money
that depreciates they want
some one to stand behind it and
make up the Iobb. In the first
place it is an assumption wbea
it is claimed that the silver
dollar will be worth only SOcts,
because when silver is made a
legal tender for all debts just
as gold is, there will be no more
difference in its valuation than
is warranted by the supply of
the metals. As long as silver
is forced down by the law to
mere comodity. that long will
it possess only commercial val
ue like pumpkins.
“Our party is the party of
the people.” That old song
makes a thinking man sick.
True, the people have been
electing officers, but they in
turn have been log-rolling with
the sharks and proving them
selves untrue to every pledge.
The people have uever had any
benefit of the party.
the one principle that se;
the wings of the party as wide
as the poles.
A good degree of enthusiasm
seems to be working up a big
demonstration for the 29th. If
the country round about will
only join in the effort to show
up the prairie Queen, there
will be no question of the suc-
cess. Temple is pround of the
tine farms and prosperity of the
farmers, and doubtless the far-
mers have a like feeling with
reference to Temple and are
proud of her growth, every ad-
dition to which adds another
sheckle of value to the property
for miles around.
The Memphis sound money
convention was not attended by
many representative men of Tex
as. The sentiment in Texas is
on the other side and the brains
of Texas forms the basis for
the sentiment.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
The haruieny birds are fledg-
lings yet, but the day is not
distant when they will try their
tender pinions. Theyuwill sing
old songs set to new music,they
will attempt to explain away
the differences that are funda-

Washington, D. C. May 24.
If calling a man a socialist or an
anarchist i^iuld answer arguments,
those contained in the dissenting
opinions of Justices Harlan, Jackson
Brown and White, who voted against
the decision of the .Supreme Court
which wiped out tfie income tax law,
have been thoroughly answered.
But there are people, lots of them,
too, who refuse to accept personal
abuse as answers to plain, common
sense argument. These people be-
fieye that the position taken by the
dissenting justices to have been
right and will continue to so believe
until somebody answers the argu-
ments they used to support their
opinions in some other way than by
abuse. It is not the first time that
Justice Harlan has stood up as the
special champion of the common
people and fearlessly pointed out
the danger of the continued en-
croachments of wealth, and it prob-
ably will not be the last time.
Certainly the following, from Jus-
tice Harlan’s opinion, are not the
words of an anarchist: “In my
judgment—to say nothing of the
disregard of the former adjudications
of this court and the practice of the
government for a century-this decis-
ion may well excite the greatest ap-
prehensions. It strikes at the ycry
foundations of national authority,
n that It denies to the general gov-
ernment a power which is or may
become Vital to the existence and
observation of the Union.** Are
those in whose behalf arguments
are made that rest upon favoritism
by the law-making power to mere
property and to particular sections
of the country, aware that they are
provoking a contest which in some
countries has swept away, in a
tempest of frenzy and passion, ex-
isting social organizations, and put
in peril all that was dear to friends
of law and order? ** The practical,
if not direct, effect of the decision
today is to give to certain kinds of
puoperty a position of favoritism
and advantage that is inconsistent
with the fundamental principles of
our social organizations, and to in-
vest them with power and influence
that may be perilous to that por-
tion of the American people upon
whom rests the larger part of the
burdens of the government and who
ought not to be subjected to the do-
minion of aggregated wealth any
more than the property of the
country should be at the mercy of
the lawless.”
Apropos of the decision is the
gossip now floating around Wash-
ington about the cost of the legal
talent employed to fight the con
stitutionality of the income tax.
More money was paid to lawyers in
this case than would pay
the salaries of the nine justices
of the Supreme Court for a period
of five years. One man, Joseph
Choate, got a fee of $200,000. These
things furnish significant proof o '
the truth of some Harlan’s warning
words.
The administration is being pre-
pared by its friends for a defeat
Kentucky o.i the silver question.
Col. Stealey, the Washington icpre-
sentative of Henry Watterson, and
close friend of Secretary Carlisle,
has just returned from Kentucky.
Ho said when asked what he thought
would be the outcome of the silver
tight: “Well, I have just oeen mak-
iug a little tour of the state
in fifteen counties. My
that there will be a plank inserted
in the state platform favoring the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1. Maybe Carlisle, Lindsay
and Watterson can prevent it, but
it is my present impression that it
is inevitable.”
The news from Illinois is about
the same as that from Kentucky.
Senator Palmer, who has been the
leader of the administration fight
against the free silver democrats,
and personal representatives of
President Cleveland, has abandoned
thejfight and is now in Washington
to report the failure of his campaign.
He insists that the silver craze is
subsiding in his state, but raises
doubts of the accuracy of his judg-
ment by adding that the democratic
convention, which will be held in
June, will enthusiastically declare
for the free coinage of silver at a 16
to 1 ratio. But he says the enthu-
siasm will be manufactured and that
the action of the convention will
mean nothing. The silver men nat-
arally ask why so much effort was
expended to prevent the election of
silver delegates if the action of the
convention was considered meaning-
less.
Tnere will be no extra session of
congress on account of the loss of
the revenue expected from the in-
come tax, if the administration can
prevent it, and it probably can un-

would call an extra session in pref-
erence to issuing more bonds.

tillo that he was spared to continue
his missionary work, and to com-
plete the Protestant school there in
which Miss Barton, sister of our Dr.
Barton, is one of the teachers. The
doctor, however, is aggressiye and
fearless, and boldly, but kindly, pur-
sues his labors. This government
has established an industrial school
at Toluco, where education, board,
etc., is free to the students. They
teach all the branches of industrial
and mechanical arts. I am told that
the government maintains a system
of public schools all over the repub-
lic, and even in some states the con-
victs have access to school privi-
leges within the penitentiaries. At
San Louis the jail birds are encour-
aged to work by giving them half
of the proceeds of their labor, which
goes to their families, hence are
made many articles of usefulness
such as baskets, lariets, etc., within
the penitentiary walls.
We should like to have tarried

same desire to see the great federal
capitol of the republic. So board-

and across deep gorges. After leav-

as we crept along the shelf of the
Siera mountains, we could look back
and see a number of smaller towns
including the city of Toluco and the
beautiful valley of Lerma through
which courses the narrow, silvery
