Islamites, Serfdom or Kmlfretlon the •ole Alleviation* That la mill l-eft to Those Who Are Tat Alive — Have Given Dp All Hope of Aid from Christian Na tions--Hark Outlook. Nk.w Yomk, May 4.—The National A l ine n Inn Kellef Committee tins re ceived the following from Turkey showing tlie feeling of many of the survivors of the Armenian massacres: “It is now more than live months that •word, Are, famine and cold iiave been doing their fearful work among us. Not less thou 200,000 of our people, largely meu from influential and pro ductive classes, Iiave fallen victims to the fury of our persecutors. More than do.ooo have, under threat* of Instant death, professed Islamism. Thousands of our sisters and daugh ter* have been violently carried off to the harema of the Turks and Kurd*. Not less than 6.000 of our principal men, Including (J/ogorian priest* and Protestant pastor* and teachers, are languishing In Turkish dun geons, arrested on utterly baseless f’liu un/1 f/ivK.i nn fififMirtuniil' to vindicate themselves. A very large part at our property lias been stolen or destroyed aud aft our business lias been narslyzed, so that the property w>- still own is for the present largely worthless. Nor do we yet see any signs of marked Improvement In our condition. It Is true massacre and open plunder have been forbidden, but our Moslem neighbors are still main lain lug a fiercely insulting and threatening attitude toward us as a race, and even were they constrained to abandon their bloody purposes, the fanatical fury of the Moslem people among whom we live, has been so fiercely Inflamed that it Is sufficient even against any feebla efforts the government might be constrained to make to complete the work of destruction. We have long since abandoned all hope of any political rlghta or atanding in this land. The only position possible for us la that of serfs. We have cherished the hope of effective aid frtm Christian nations. It has failed ua and we are sacrificed to political and selfish ambition. What, then, are we to do? Three pos sible courses of action are open to us. First, we can surrender alf that our fathers have clung to during their many years of oppression and suffer ings'; we can abandon our faith, nro fcas Islam and lo>e ourselves nnd our children in the muss of the Moslem musters; or, second, we can go on patiently dragging the chains of our oppressors and bearing their Insults amlabuses, wasting away our strength and our livea In ignoble servitude; or, third, we can seek in other lauds and among liberty loving people new homes and new hopes of enterprise. Some of our people have already tried to adjust themselves to the first con ditlon named, but even now, their wuils of anguish and remorse, tnat are making their lives an Insupport able burden, wurn us that death is a thousand times to be preferred to a life so ba-ely purchased. The second 1ter mil i vc is nil iluubt still orien to as; we can repudiate all our claims mid aspirations fur manhood, wn can surrumler all hope of progress and take up again the old servile life of the past. We should so perhaps he allowed to retain our name, our tradh tions and our faith, hut how dwarfed, crumped and corrupted. Meanwhile, other an-. Christian lands open hospit able don s to us and extend us sym pathy and generous aid and bid us welcome to share with them the heri tage of l liristiau liberty and civiliza tion. only two things we need to know. l-'irst, will our sultan permit us to emigrate? if so, we should be glad if a, i angemeuts could be made by which we could secure for our fu ture use some reasouahle purt of the property we have left behind ua Sec ond, will the t hristian nations who have been witnettes to our sufferings grant us an asy urn iu their borders and give us aid to time of our dis tress?" _ NO MKINLEY FOR HIM.

I have no doubt, however, that Mr. Leland submitted the proposition to me a* he says. He 1* a truthful man and not given to extravagant talk, and what he says may be depended upon. I may have gotten bis statement to me confused with » proposition submitted to me direcily Ly one of Mr. Smith’s friends. It is not necessary to disclose the name’of this friend.

We repel alike the im pudent assumptions of republican plutocratic paternalism and the vagar ies of populist and socialistic paternal ism. We denounce as dishonest the claims of the rrntibliran Hurt v to be re turned to power on account of financial disturbance, produced by republican legislation, and as equally dangerous the clamor of populate unil their allies for a more extensive application for the aume pernicious legislation. We adhere to the time-honored principlea of the party, as enunciated by Jeffer son and expounded by Jackson, Tlldcu and Cleveland. We believe with Thomas Jefferson that the market value of bullion regu lates the value of the coin, und not its ( coin value, we accept the teaching of ; economic acience, that under free coin- | age the cheaper money will always drive out the belter money, leaving nothing hut the poorer in circulation, and tiiat under the unvarying luw the adoption of free coinage of silver at Id to 1 would expel from circulation ail the gold and paper money redeemable in gold, and leave the country on a silver basis, wltii a poorer currency and much leas of it. We believe that common honesty and a Just regard for the right* of our cred Horn, as well as the rig his of the wage earnera, require us to use all honorable means to oreveul the insertiotAtf a free coinage plana in the national plat form. We adhere to our previous declare lions ou this subject, and declare our selves unequivocally slid unreservedly for the uietalic money, as the standard uni*, the bullion aud mint value of which are approximately the same, aud the purchasing power of w iden, regard less of government mintage, is the least fluctuating m all the markets of the j world We lusisl on this policy as es i pecially necessary for the protection of 1 the farmers, laborers aud piiqirrty ' owning debtors, the most defenseless | victims of unstable aud tlueluating cur reucy W e deny the right of congrvea to , levy lasea for any other purpose 1 than the maintenance of the govern aieul, and demand a fair trial for the Wilson tariff law, under whteh busi ness and industry havs been recovering from the psraiylie stroke of tiehiakey Isas Wa ara la favor of tke rsttrewaat of tke forced loans of tka ( oiled Mates government made la tka exlgsneiaa of war. and of tka government going out of tke keak'Ug business at the earliest praetieabie moment, sad tka eetatdteh meal at our currency and banking upu aoius basis that will give stability to our paper money aud Security to da putt tors | tka theory of noninterference on the part of t.uropeaa governments on this continent, eMUc-oiovd ly President Monroe, more than half a century ago, boatahea a him hold of tb« tmviicaa people aod we beerttiy endorse and ep prove the eaameof President I ksveland and secretary tdney in then it no and unfa Iter tag edharen-a to this great principle We deny the claim af a email faction who recently assembled to nold a con vention in the name of the democracy of tliia state, and pretended to select delegatee to the democratic national convention, because they have for years repudiated the national dem ocratic party and its platforms; they have insisted on the withdrawal of democratic tickets in the interest of the Jiopulist party; they have refused to oin in the nomination of democrats for office, but instead have endorsed and supported populist candidates, who accept one of the teachings of democ racy; they have sought and held office by appointment from a populist gov ernor as a reward for treachery to the democrats; they have been repudiated by a two-thirds vote of the democrats of the state; they have, by public ut terance, in their recent convention, de clared that if the national democratic convention refused to udopt their pe culiar notions, they will not abide by Its judgment, and have sought to pave the way for their entrance to the oopu list national convention in Kt Louie by the adoption of the most extreme of the many hair-hraincd theories of that party. We believe in the government found ed by the fathers of this republic, and in the constitution, which, for more than a century has been the admira tion of the civilized world; and we re pudiate the theories of populists and so-called democrats, allien with popu lists, who would destroy that constitu tion for the socialistic experiment of the initiative and referendum We deprecate and denounce the in flammatory language usrd by a certain class of politicians and public speaker* In recent days in their effort# to stir up strife and array one section of the country against another, and one class of people against the Other.
