Ido not feel inclined | to find fault with your criticsm, but I think the matters referred to} should be judged in the light of the circumstances existing at the time | the things were done. I never had an idea of building up or fostering a personal following, but so far as politics should proper- ly influence me in making appoint- ments, I have tried to be democratic and not prospective. Iam glad you are frank enough to admit your par- ticipation in bringing about a condi- tion in office holding which may not be all that now be desired. Wheth- er those appcinted to place shall in speech and action behave decently toward the administration which they hold office remain, to a large extent, a matter of taste and good breeding. There are, however, some officials who de- vote themselves so industriously to vilification and abuse of those under whom they held office as to indicate that their fidelity can not be trusted for the performance of their duties in a manner creditable to the admin- istration and who apparently assume that they may spend the time they owe to the public service in doing political mischief. are summarily dealt with. THE SOUTH AND FREE SILVER yours in which you explain to the citizens of Mississippi your views on the currency question. It seems to me you have in that letter con- tributed in the best possible style and ina most valuable way to the fund of argument in favor of sound money. Ihave never ceased to wonder why the people of the south, furnish- ing so largely as they do products which are exported for gold, should be willing to submit to the disad- vantages and loss of silver mono- metallism and to content themselves with a depreciated and fluctuating curreney while permitting others to reap a profit from transmutation of the prices of their productions from silver to gold. I hope this letter of yours will be given the widest possi- ble circulation, especially among our scuthern fellow citizens, and that they will be permitted to see the pitfall which is directly before them who madly rush toward the phan- tom light of free, unlimited and in- dependent coinage. If we who profess fealty to the democratic party are sincere in our devotion to its principles, and if we are right in believing that the ascen- dency of those principles is a guar- antee of present liberty, universal al American brotherhood and manly trust in American citizenship in any part of our land, we should study the effects upon our party, and con- sequently upon our country, of a committal of the national democracy to the silver arbitration.

A CARLISLE LETTER. Answers a Query on His Dland-Alli sou Bill Speech —Its Meanmg | Explained, Little Rock, Ark. May 4—A. | Sevier of Texarkana has received al letter from Secretary Carlisle, ex- j plaining certain passages in the| speech made by Ca in the Forty fifth Congress in support of Senate amendments to the Bland * Allison bill. The speech to which the letter referred is printed on page 41 of the appendix to Congres- sional Record for the second session | of the Forty fifth Congress. Washington, D. C, April 23, 1895 —Mr. A. H. Sevier, Texarkana, Ar! Dear Sir—Your favor of the 15th | instant is just received. The speech ! to which you refer was never printed in pamphlet form, but only in the Congressional Record. It was made in support of the Senate amendments | to the Bland Allison bill. In regard to the amendment which struck out | the free silver section of the original { bill, and inserted a provision for the purchase and coinage of uot less than $2,000,000 worth, nor more than $4,000,000 worth of silver bul- lion each month, I said: “Now, sir, while this amendment is objectionable to me in some re- spects, I am constrained to say that Nervous People should realize that the only true and permanent cure for their condition is to be found in having Pure Blood Because the health of every organ and tissue of the body depends upon the purity of the blood. The whole world knows the standard blood purifier is Hood’s Sarsaparilla And therefore it is the only true and reliable medicine for nervous people. It makes the blood pure and healthy, and thus cures nervousness, makes the nerves firm and strong, gives sweet sleep, mental vigor, a good appetite, perfect digestion. It does all this, and cures Scrofula, Eczema, or Salt Rheum and all other blood diseases, because it Makes Pure Blood Results prove eve word we have said. Thousands of voluntary testi- monials fully establish the fact that Hood's *s. | ufactured by the California Fig Syrup | | compel me to take this view of the | exile fram one country to another.” >ffec yl ! ding see ! sin 50¢ and $1 bottle Ss man | Co. only. whose name is printed on every | packs > the name, Syrup of Figs, and g well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered. | ——— it is not on account of its repudia. | tion of the free soinage provision of | the original bill, and I will state as! brietly as possible the reasons which | subject.” I then proceeded to give history | of our coinage laws and showed that | when either metal was undervalued | at the minte, it was driven out of | the country and that the metal! which was overvalued in the coinage | laws always remained in circulation and Isaid: “I am for every prac- ticable and constitutional measure that will aid us in devising a just and permanent ratio of value be | tween the two metals, so that they} may circulate side by side and not alternately drive each other into! I have never made a speech or written a letter in favor of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, or, in fact, at any other ratio, and the quotation which is so often} made from the speech to which you refer was a denunciation of a policy which would “destroy by legislation or otherwise from three-sevenths to one half of the metallic money of the world,” as is shown by the speech itself. At that time the sil- ver dollar had been dropped entirely from our coinage and was by lawa legal tender only to the amount of | $5 The act of 1875 corrected this, | and since then we have coined 420,000,000 full legal tender silver dollars. Silver is not now demone- tized in this country as it is inj} England, Germany and other coun. | tries, but is,as you know, in con | stant use among the people as full | legal tender money.
