about his congregation, alive or .lead,
will not occupy the pulpit more than
one Sunday, and then will have to

THAT CLEVELAND LETTEH.
People expected something profound
in the Chicago financial letter of Mr.
Cleveland. He is the head of the
gold party, the creditor class,the mon-
eyed aristocracy, and this letter was
expected to offer new texts, new shib-
boleths, for the enemies of the com-
mon weal. If Mr. Cleveland knew of
a financial plan which would elevate
the country from its present deplora-
ble depression, which he had not yet
sent out on the world, the people
looked for its heraldings in this stump
speech to the Chicago millionaires.
Freeing the mind from political pre-
judice, the verdict will be that no pa-
per so obtuse, stilted, prolix and dis-
appointing ever emanated from a pres-
ident of this nation. There are a
hundred constables in Oklahoma who
could write a more able financial
treatise; and if there is a sheriff in
the territory who couldn't put more
meat into a column and a half on this
subject, we would help the people
kick him beyond the territorial
boundaries. Had this letter emanated
from any other than a president, it
of our daddies which have been in
the nation s financial blood since 1 .H-,
and never made a taint of trouble un-
til Cleveland forced the silver dollar
from our primary money system and
declared that gold, instead of gold
and silver, should be the basis of all
our finances and our only money of
ultimate payment.

Muskogee l'l.oenix: From private
sources it is learned that Hon. Hoke
Smith, secretary of the interior, will
visit the Indian Territory about tli
first of May. and while down here will
headquarter at Muskogee. It is stated
that lie will accompany Judge Spring-
er on his return and during his stay
here he, in company with the court
officials, will visit Vinita. Tahlequah,
and Miami. Should Secretary Smith
honor us with his presence in Musko-
gee the citizens will give linn a re-
eeption such as he never received be-
fore and he will leave here thoroughly
convinced that for real, genuine
southern hospitality the residents of
the beautiful Indian Territory are en-
titled to the entire bakery.
Pawnee Dispatch: In a letter to I).
T Flynn, Mr. 1) M. ltrowning. com-
missioner of Indian affairs, states the
condition of the Pawnee claim. He
savs that during last December there
were paid to them lis,500, of treaty
funds, and $10,INK) of their interest
funds: and sometime during the pres-
ent quarter, or as soon as public funds
for the purpose can be placed to the
credit of their agent, ¥15,000 of treaty
funds and 811-000 of interest money
will be paid to them in cash, ihese
payments will comprise all moneys
due them in cash during the current
fiscal year. The democrats up there
at headquarters had better wake up
and get things in shape so the law-
nees can get their dues. There are a
great many of the Indians who need
their money, and need it bail, and fur
tl.er delay should come to an end.
The head of the gold party, Mr.
Cleveland says not a word in favor of

He makes no argument; presents 110

barren of fresh thought as a spanked

kind we now have—to do the business
of the country on. Mr. Cleveland,
having 82,000,000 of liis ow-n, and be-
ing the mouthpiece and zealous repre-
sentative of the men down east who
own the money, is interested in en-
hancing the value of money and
cheapening the value of those things
the producer sells for money. To|
make dear money, Cleveland knows,
is to have less of it; therefore, he
wants all greenbacks and treasury
notes retired and silver kept outlawed
as primary money. Thus debts would
inhance because of the curtailed
amount of money to pay them in: and
cash being scarce, how else could the
business of the country run except
ipon the credit system ?
The only semblance of an argument
in tiiis Cleveland letter is a warning
o the farmers that if a "redundant
urrency" did raise the price of their
products, it would also raise the price
of all they had t« buy. The farmers
are not thinking of buying, they have
nothing to buy with—and, besides,
clothing were never so high as now,
since it takes 3.1 bushels of wheat to
buy a $12 suit of clothes, whereas, be-
fore the democracy got full power, it
only took 15 bushels of wheat to buy
the same suit. So the democratic
price of wheat has doubled to the
farmer, the price of what he lias to
buy.
Mr. Cleveland does not un derstand
that this is a debt-struggling era—a
time when it takes about all the people
earn to pay the interest on their debts
held bv the men of whom the presi-
dent is the partner champion and rep-
resentative; and the face of these
debts will remain stationary, if the
prices of the products of labor double
What the people want now is to get
the prices of products at least to where
they were when these debts were cre-
ated.
The president need not worry about
"the masses" needing education on
"sound money;" they are learning re-
markably fast. They begin to kno-.v
that supply and demand has as much
to do with the price of money as with
anything else—and they want to in-
crease the supply. And they do not
want it increased by the Carlisle-
Cleveland plan of state bank paper
with nothing behind it but cornmer
cial greed—money more purely fiat
than any the populists ever advocated;
they want an increased supply
taken from nature's national banks
the silver mines, the same "old dollars

Since the word gold did not appear
at all and the word silver only once
in his Chicago letter, what does the
first and last democratic president in
thirty years mean by "sound money .'
Does he mean the Carlisle state bank

will take the people a year or two to
lookup the meaning of his big, pedant-

what he is trying to get at, they never
will find out.
