The following letter from Congressman Torn h. Johnson Is In reply to resolutions adopted by District Assembly No. 3 K. of L., iiiul Indorsed by a inas� meeting -of the unemployed citizens of Cleveland, O.:
After nr\ru\\ Villain' receipt of the resolutions, Mr. Johnson says: In this address it is demanded that the house of representative i and tbe senate shall give Hiidleitce to tho body of unemployed men who hare been marching to the .national capital, the same ilgh's of assembly nod petition, and accord them the same bearing, as to the representatives of moneyed interests that for months have infested the lobbies and committee rooms of con gress. Since the receipt of your letter, and before I had time to reply to It, the first of these bodies of men has come m the. city, and permission has been refused to them to bold a public meeting and present, iu a body, a petition to congress, and their Vempt to enter the capitol groundsman been brutally repalsed.
Wlille 1 disagree entirely with the views of Mr Ooxey and his followers us to the cause ofthe present evil conditions, while t am absolutely certain that the I finance of ,500,000,000 of greenbacks for the purp, in of building good roads and employing those now out of work would �imply result In etmciiln? thelandowners who own the land" adjoining tbawroads '<>

�?aVV-c *~ | uin� of ; iiney would lei.d to (peoH/ailon, and thrus- Increase the value of land-and make it harder fur tan Industrious t � secure homes, farms mid sites fur Business; �mi!. furthermore, that as long as present conditions exist this money would Inevitably find Its, way into the pockets of T^those who control the sources of production and gigantic monopolies; I nevertheless hold that, In denying to these men the, right which every American citizen has or should have to freely express Us opinions, the ?ix-.il and national government at Washington have acted In a mssV ner that cannot but be productive of harm. Their action is equivalent to a public acknowledgment that in this great republic we have developed a cluss of people whose condition is so hopeless and degraded that their assemblage and the public, expression of their sentiments Is a menace to free institutions.
I deny that treat Is the case. I deny that the government of this country of 09.000.000 people has need to depend on the muskets of a standing army or the clubs of policemen for its safety. On the contrary, I hold that, in refusing to receive and listen to these men, the government is taklnsslhe quickest steps to goad the dissatisfied masses to desperation and make standing armies a necessity. If history proves anything lfprovea that the surest way to encourage"public disorder and popular uprisings Is by seeking to repress free speech.
But beneath all this there lies a deeper and greater question. Coxey and his army�what are they but a symptom of the general dlssatlsfactiop tnat exists among the workers of the country ? In a land capable of supporting a thousand million people in abuhdance, a country whose surface is but scratched. In the midst of increasing wealth and luxury, and where the productive powers of man have'been multiplied many fold, hundred* of thousands of our people find themselves out of work, and hundreds of thousands. If tujf, millions, are barely able to earn evjoafth V> support life. Not on guns nor policemen's clubs can we rely to quiet this dissatisfaction � L. Jonnsq*.
1 in, (v .trial Arm/, or Coxey army, as it it- nor* generally known, is tbe grandaa movement in the history nf tbe we.'.i. It is the first time in history that a) r my of ire1 has actually taken '.e field and literally marched �i - mi i ljustlce -fortified wfth bayonets and i"t " clubs.
The mlustrial Army Js a revolutionary Hi-�;� merit. Like alt reforms and revc'>�v*.�, It starts aoioosytM so called 'o' .. strata" of h .ciety. But unlike all � itber rerolvitlonary movements, its wea-;k>' . an '.bo weapons of peace, and arms hare basa resorted to only when the men hero bttn driven to desperation by t'ie mi:Jorrof authority.
V Jy>- nltten on one cheek they have turriei> .us other, and perhaps if they had mere Jieaka would keop no turniug. The Swiour has said nothing about turning lot the third blow, but the iastinct of seir-nK .'rvation has. The third blow Is ours.'J
Wh � o the members of this Industrial -ri�y, who attack the constituted authottles with the weapons of Christ? Th< are worklttgmen. Wh ���> they not work, than ? may be askeJ. That is tbe question the Intlns-tri il .'.tiny is organized to propound to the AnetiVin people and tb�fr national goverilnent, and the army tvill plant its "on the grass" as a vantage ground If nwcM.ry.

The word bas come down from the White House that the Industrial Army is not wanted at Washington City. We had it at Puyallnp, Wash., from the mouth of John U. McQraw, governor of the state of Washington; we have bad It from the servile subsidized press; the deputy mar-shals. creatnres of Mr. Cleveland's rqgal will, ive turned out with Winchesters, revolvers and sticks against a lot of men wbo are guilty Of tbe crime, of being hungr;; tbe federal courts helfe emphasised !t by imprisoning pur men. Of �eurs* they do not want us at the na tional capital I We knew that before we started The Industrial Army Is damn lng cvidenoe against the present office holder, with a few honrable exceptions, and their predecessors for thirty years past.
