STEWART'S LETTER
He Writes President Cleve
land a Letter. . 4
ON THE SUBJECT OF FINANCE
Ik Dsaal Arguments Advanced by Sil
ver Advocate Again Fashed to
tb Front In This Missive.
Washington, Senator Stewart of Ne
vada today sent a letter to the president,
of which the following ia an extract:
"Your letter to Governor Stone of Mia
eippi is admirable. It wholly exoner
ates you from all suspicion of shirking
from your plain, constitutional duty of
personal participation in the political
controversies which' agitate the people.
"The originality of. your discovery
that the South favors silver monometal
ism when it only contends for the coin
age of silver upon terms and conditions
applicable to the coinage of gold can
never be questioned. You will undoubt
edly explain in your next letter why the
free coinage of gold and a refusal to coin
silver is bimetalism, and the unrestrict
ed coinage of both gold and silver is sil
ver monometalism. -
"Your wonder why the South does
not appreciate the advantages of selling
its exports for gold prices is in harmony
with the profound thought and great
wisdom of your Chicago letter, wherein,
referring to the farmer, you said : 'Let
.us remind him that he must buy as well
as sell ; that his dreams of plenty are
shadowed by the certainty that if the
price of the things he has to sell ia nom
inally enhanced, the cost of tninga he
must duv will not remain stationary.'
"From your unselfish point of view
there is no answer to this argument
The discovery you have made that the
. sales and purchases of the farmers and
planters in a cheap gold market exactly
balance each other, and that what is
lost by the low price of sales is gained
by the low price of purchases, solves the
question and shows your full compre
hension of all the principles of economic
science. The fact that less than 300,000
pounds of cotton or 33,000 bushels of
wheat would pay the $50,000 annual
salary President Grant received, while
it now requires 1,000,000 pounds of cot
ton, or 83,000 bushels of wheat to pay
your salary, which is the same number
of dollars as that of your predecessor,
show the superiority of the . 'sound
money you have established and main
tained. "Your 'wonder at the imbecility of
the farmers and planters in failing to
appreciate the benefits of a cheap mar
ket, for what they sell is most reasona
ble and natural from your unselfish,
comprehensive view of the subject.
You take into consideration that a cheap
market where they sell creates a cheap
market for what they buy, and you real
ize, if they do not, the advantages they
have in selling more than they buy, and
thereby relieving themselves of . more
cheap products than they are compelled
to buy.
'-'They are at liberty to sell enough
more then they buy to obtain money to
pay interest and taxes, which to them
may seem a hardship, but which, on ac
count ot your superior wisdom and pa
triotism, you knew to be a blessing
which their dull comprehension fails to
appreciate.
"The luxury of buying.in a cheap gold
market with money remaining after dis
charging tbeee nominal obligations is
not sufficiently prized by the discontent
ed planters and farmers. - The slight
discrepancy between the amount lost in
sales by low prices and gains by pur
chases in a cheap market ought never to
be considered and ia properly excluded
from the wise and benevolent councils of
Wall and Lombard streets, and also
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
wU
from the learned deliberations of the
white house, where your annual salary
of $50,000 is promptly paid.
"Your declaration that the gold. stand
ard established by the republican party
in 1873 is the traditional doctrine o
sound money oi tne democratic party,
ought to inspire every democratic heart
with unbounded enthusiasm. You are
right. There is not room enough on a
gold-standard platform to accommodate
the two old parties in an active campaign
before the people, although the leaders
of both havo jointly occupied that plat
form for the purpose of legislation and
administration for more than 20 years.
"You have achieved the proud dis
tinction of being the first great Ameri
can statesman who proclaimed to his
fellow countrymen the glory and bene
fits of the single gold standard. You
have the right to eject the republican
party from the platform of sound money,
which you have rescued from the igno
ble obscurity of clandestine use by timid
and unworthy republican leaders, who
secretly monopolized the benefactions of
the gold combination until you appeared
as the Moses of scattered democracy.
''The hereditary rights of the descend
ants of Shylock are safe in your hands.
Your decree of low price and less wages
for those who produce, and more gain
and less sacrifice for those who absorb,
will be executed by the power you com
mand, while the trimmers and dodgers
of the republican fold are confounded
and paralyzed by your boldneaa and
dash." ;
Has Changed Its Tactics.
Chicago May 8. A special from In
dianapolis says : The populists of In
diana, acting under instructions from
Chairman Taubeneck, of the national
committee, are now maneuvering for a
union with the free-silver men in both
the old parties.
"We think we see the breaking up of
the old parties," said he. "The contest
next year will be between the gold men
on one side and the silver men on the
other.- The contest will be one in which
the south and west will be arrayed
against the East. The battle ground
will be Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
Minnesota. If the South and West
stand together for free silver they will
win."
"Do the populists stand ready to unite
with the democratic silver party?"
"We certainly do. If the party should
win it would be a victory for the popu
lists. It ia immaterial under which
name we win. The free- coinage of silver
is the central doctrine of the populists,
and we are ready to make any sort of a
nnion if we can accomplish our object."
The populist state committee has
ceased the work of organizing populist
clubs throughout the state. The leaders
have suggested that free-coinage clubs
be organized, and that members of both
the old parties be invited to become
members of the clubs. . The newspaper
printed here as the organ of the party
has undertaken to circulate silver litera
ture among the farmers of the state.
Payment or The Additional Indemnity
Guaranteed.
Shanghai, May 8. It is stated here
that ratification of the treaty of peace
between China and Japan were exchang
ed today at Che-Foo. . It is reported that
Sir Robert Hart, inspector-general of
Chinese customs, has guaranteed the
payment of the . additional indemnity
demanded by Japan as the result of re
linquishing her claim to the Liau-Tong
peninsula in compliance with the. de
mands of Russia France and Germany.
Sir Robert Hart, however, makes his
guarantee conditional on ' the financing
of the total indemnity being left in his
hands. ' ; '
' Revolt In Ecuador.
New Yobk, May 8. Private advices
received in New York from Ecuador
state that General Elroy Alfaro, a leader
in the revolution of 1875, and also a
leader in the present trouble in Ecua
dor, has returned there from Nicaragua
where he had been in exile. '

very unpopular, and the resignation of
Cordero will have no effect on the revo

work room to run across the street on an
errand, he was caught ouC in -the -rain

owing to inflammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival was
placed in front of a good fire and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. During the -evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was relieved
of all rheumatic pains. He now takes
