My esteemed friend W. O Atkes| wilt be yoo, through the columns of the) i} we Press, has “warned” you of e fact that I have left the Populist party and amnow in full accord with e democr i I conclude party, which is quite ue a brief statement ff why I-have done this would not inappropriate The populist party was largely composed of men capa- ible of placiug measures above party, iatrait of character the only hope o perpetuating free institution The old parties failing to en dorse those forms we kvew to be the only hope of escaping European condi lions (abject slavery), we, the quicker fodiecover the importance of thore forms and the more resolute, sev- fred our affiliation with the old iprties and formed anew one and jascribed on its bacuers the reforms we demanded The paramount set out jn the various platforms of the vop- wlist party was a demand storation of the morey of the con- stitation—the free coinage of silver atthe ratio of 16 tol In 1893 the heads of the democratic party threw ofthe mask, exposing their nefari- ous purpose saddle standard onthe people. A revolu tion without a parallel in political parties followed, beaded by such brilliant political lights as Bryan, Stone, Altgeld and Tillman of the democratic party, supported by the great genius and towering brains cf ‘our own party—those pecrless patri ots, Weaver, Allen, Butler, Holcomb, Teedy, Simpson and many others I ight name, resulting in the purg of the democratic party of the Poisonous influence of Cleveland & Go., which bad so long perverted the arty, and restoring it to the princi inculeated by our fathers. The issue to Ppatform had no doubtful cound, md declared for our paramount itsue, the free coinage of silver at old ratio of 16 to 1, and em ced other material demands of our party. Besides, the crowning ure of their triumph was to place at the head of the restored democracy as their leader and stand d bearer the true, magnanimous ypatriot, whose record throughout Phis political life gave positive and usive proof of unwavering loy alty and devotion to the cause of the people, that born leader and, I believe, ehosen of God Christian ttatesman, Wm. J. Bryan. Realizing the dire importance of Teatoring eilver to the honorable Position on our statutes our fathers We it, and believing with all my in the truth of Mr. Carlisle's ment in 1878 in the balls of }Congress, when he said ‘the demon- ion of silver would cause more Riery than wars, pestilence and ‘amine,” I had uo choice. _ My fellow populists, we all have a ‘‘émmon interest; your minds are as : c mprehensive as mine; you know cut cff one-half of our meney sup- doubles the purchasing power | lous sentiment or preju hie», or ye for the} the gold} } | of the remaining ha pyour taxes and the f every | tions o: debtor i | doubling the pu wsibg poy | the dollar, you the val of your fe r etock ard al {that you b jus t f (except mouey, if you ive it And your llo-s ig the money anger’s gain | (nence the ince: |; You further k 1 nt Jeondvions wit 25 per ab: ed 1 by hos2 same bene r t ano ir t sou that will only hasten tne great crise, ifitisadoptet.

Io view of these starthny facts, 16 not our duty to ourselves and our} famplies plain? Must we consult frivo | d to our better jadzment? I believ it is our duty to fall in line with our | inseparable friends, whose interests | with name are in common our own, no matter what is inscribed on their banner, that we may with one mighty etroke break down the monster that would destroy our homes and enslave our children. Others may do as they wish, but as for me, future generations shall never deride my memory because of my aiding and abetting iu the nefa- | rious piut of ths gold bugs to effect ually establish the gold standard upon them. | My fellow populiste, ean you | escape the dersion if you accept the | council and guidance of W.O Atke son and fuse with the republicans?
