An AdilroH.s to the Public from the
National Silver Committee.
New Youic , June 20. The national execu
tive silver c&mmlttoo which mot at the Hoff
man house last night was In session the most
of the day today. There were present Gen
eral A. J. Warner of Ohio , Chairman Francis
G. Nowland of Nevada , Vice Chairman L. M.
Uumsoy of Missouri and Leo Crandall of
Washington. Hon. Edward Pleropont was
unable lo bo present. Senators Jones and
Stewart of Nevada were at the hotel and
gave tbo committee the benefit of their ad
vice. ' As a result of their deliberations the
committee gave out this evening the follow
ing address to the public :
The national executive silver committee de
sires to call the attention of the country to
thopbjoct lesson which is being oxbibited in
the dospornto struggle of the great llnanclal
institutions on both sides of the Atlantic to
increase the gold reserves to avoid bank
ruptcy and ruin , and that any increase by anyone
ono necessarily reduces the reserves of the
other. Why should such a condition of things
exist In a ttmo of profound peace and abund
ant harvests t Why should all the great
banking Institutions attribute stagnation and
hard times to scarcity of money while they
arc oxertlngull their power to make money
scarce by adhering to the gold standard ,
whim they admit that there is not enough
gold to maintain business and credit in gold
standard countries has been growing nar
rower ns tlio single standard has been extended -
tended and tbo production of gold fallen
off , whllo the structure of credit
has been growing proportionately
larger and moro insecure , until the relation
of credit to actual money , its disclosed in the
Baring's failure In gold standard England ,
has alarmed the world and started n now
scramble for gold that threatens business
undertakings and stalks as a menucoto every
legitimate enterprise. We have bcon doing
business , paying debts and distributing our
annual products by a money standard that
has bcon growing dearer and dearer until it
is 50 per cent larger than eighteen years ago
when silver was clandestinely demoralized ,
The people are determined that this Injus
tice shall ceuso , and ll will couse In spite of
the sophistry of the gold worshippers or the
cupidity of the credit holding classes. The
remedy is In the restoring of blmotnllsm.
Support the credit structuroof the banks and
the country by both the metals under free and
unlimited coinage. Had It not been for the
increased coinage of silver under the act of
Julv , 1MH ) , wo could not have stood the drain
of gold that has recently bcon going on with
out the precipitation of panto and the pros
tration of business. Gold and silver without
limit uro money by the constitution mid this
inoiiov must bo restored to the people. This
Is the'par amount bsuod in this country and
should bo mudo such in the elections this
year.Vo regret that the republican stnlo
convention in Chicago practically declared
OL'Mnst I ho free use of silver as money when
they endorsed an aotof congress which treat *
silver as a commodity. Tlio demand for free
coluaKO of silver la a demand that illyer ihull
bo coined for usn M money , not bought as a
commodity. It In a demand that silver itscl
shall bo money and bo coined In the sumo
manner for use as money ns It WM for thous
and * of years before Mr. Sherman
omlttoJ frnin the mint bill In 1843 the alive
dollar. If the silver of the world and all tha
can bo produced cannot bo restored to Its
place as money to supplement gold , bank
ruptcy and ruin are Ir.evltablo , unless some
other kind of luonev can bo devised to take
the place of both. Lot the Ohio convention
representing the gold trust , take warnlnf
that If silver cannel be romonotlzcd gold will
bo tlemonetm.'d and paper substituted for
both gold and silver . The people will not bo
destroyed for want of monoy. The oid
trust , by rejecting ono of the precious mot-
nU , has taught how both mav bo rejected.
The radicalism of the republican party of
Ohio for contraction Is In danger of being
met by a radicalism for Inflation. The tltno
for subtcrfuirc and ambiguity of language Is
past. Platforms intended to deceive voters
are Insulting to the intelligence of the Amor-
lean pcoplo.
How well wo remember grandmother's

A Talk \vltli Mnuoln.
Ono morning during the late civil war
President Lincoln received some visitors by
appointment nt nn early hour , says n writer
In tbo Magazine of American History. A
prominent senator us tiered Into bis chamber
four Englishmen of mature years and dignl-
lled bearing , ono of whom was Prof. Ooldwin
Smith. Mr. Lincoln greeted thorn cordially ,
nnd opened tlio conversation with nn Inquiry
as to Iho health of John lirlgbt , whom bo
said bo regarded as a friend or our country ,
nnd of freedom everywhere. Preson'ly Iho
magniludo of recent battles was under dis
cussion , and Prof. Smith inquired if the
enormous losses of'nlon would not Impair the
Industrial resources of the country and seri
ously affect its revenues , reciting at Iho
sumo time the numbciof ; killed , wounded nnd
missing reported a/tor / one of the great en-
gagemenls , Ihen of rctontdato.
Mr. Lincoln replied thai In settling such
maltcrs wo musl resort to "dnrkoy arithme
tic.1' "To darkoy arithmetic ! " exclaimed
the dignified roproseulatlvo of the learning
and higher thought Of Great Britain. "I did
not know , Air. President , that you havn two
systems of arithmetic ! " "Oh , yesl" bald Mr.
Lincoln , "I will illustrate that point by n
llttlo story. Two young contrabands were
sealed loiiethur when ono said , 'Jim , do you
know 'rlthmeliol1 Jim answered , 'No ; wlial
is 'rithmetiol1Welt , ' said the other , 'ills
when you adds up things. When you have
ono and one , and you puts them together
they makes two. And when you subtracts ,
if you have two things and you takes ono
away , only ono remains.1
" -Is dnt 'rlthmetici' asked Jim. 'Yes. '
'Well , Hain't true dou ; It's no good , " Hero
a dispute arose , when Jim said : 'Now you
s'posd three olgeons sit on dat fence , und
somobodyu shoot ono of dom ; do t'olher
Iwo slay dari I guess not ; doy lly away
quicker'n odder fellow falls1 ; and , professor
ser , trilling as the story seems , it illustrates
the arithmetic you must use in estimating the
actunl losses resulting from our great battles.
The statements you refer to give these miss
ing at Iho llrsl roil call after the contest ,
which always exhibits a greatly exaggerated I
total , especially in the column of tlio miss-
Ing.1' Mr. William D. Koiloy , who relates
this incidonl , says Ihut after leaving the
president Goldwln Smllh aad his parly of
friends sat bcsldo him ( Mr. Kelley ) al Iho
dinner tnblo , and no heard ono of Iho gentle
men inquire : "Professor , can you glvo mo
tbo impression President Lincoln made upon
you ! "
"Yes , " was Iho reply , "It was a very
agreeable ono. Such a man Is qutta un
known to our olllcial circles or to these of
continental nations. Indeed , I Inline bis
plnco in nlstory will bo unique. IIo has not
been trained to diplomacy or administrative
affairs , und is in nil respects ono of Iho pee
ple. Bui how wonderfully ho Is endowed
and equipped for Iho performance of Iho
duties of the chief executive ofllcer of the
United States at ibis llrao. The precision
nnd minuteness of his information on all
questions to which wo referred was a sue
cession of surprises lo mo. "
Alurnt Ilnlstcaii on Wnlooloy.
Lord Wolsoloy papers on Iho death of
General Sherman are not worthy bis lord
ship , if his lordship is to bo taken seriously
as a military and literary man. They have In
them Iho hateful tone of British torylsm
during the war. There is continual exagger
ation ot Iho chances against Iho south , and
all manner of making excuses for southern
failures. General Sherman Is charged with
timidity because ho was cautions in pushing
forward into an intensely hostile country ,
against a powerful army ably led , with for
ests and rivers and mountains that were
formidable fortllicatlons , the line or supplies
of the Invading army extending ) miles
through a hoslllo country raided by adven
turous and desperate cavalry , There Is the
bamo tone aboul the Grant campaign In Vir
ginia , ana wo are informed that Sherman
was timid again when ho Ihought Lee , vould
shako himself free from Grant and slriko
southward. Why , that , ot all things , wits
what Sherman's army hoped for. That was
whal Sherman was looking for when ho de
clined to take ship iitSavimnah for Oily Point.
Some day the grcnUtact will coma forth that
the majorily of the lighting ir.en of
this country were throughout the war favorable -
orablo to Iho causeotlelt Davis , rather than
inal of Abraham Lincoln , for the .southern
cause had an cnonnnMsly greater number of
sympathisers In tho. north than ihocanso of
the nation had In thp/soulh. The southern
politicians ruined themselves , ilrst and last.
First , they thrownway Iho advantage of a
democratic majorlty-in both houses of con
gress. Then thoyitbiiidonod ; utterly iho
constitution they professed to adoru and to
iutorprat by divlno 'right. They also disre
garded the sentiment that clung to the old
Hag. What was th'ijiprislng ) , after the tiring
on Sumluri It wan the tribute duo the long
suffering pntlonco uml homely tmgncily of
Abraham Lincoln.Tho superiority of tbo
statesmanship of Lincoln , ns opposed to that
of Davis , was tboirexhlbiU'd , The nntivo
IContnckiau wno niovud to Illinois was an
abler man nnd fhr wiser thiin the native
Kontucklim who had moved to Mississippi.
It would have been easy for Lincoln tn have
so mismanaged as to divide some of tbo west
ern states. If U.ivls tmd abandoned his frantic !
radicalism , but held tbo north and divided
the border ttalcsihls with the almost di
rect a-sslst.nico ot' Mi. U.ivls.

H. P. Archer , secretary of the proposed In
terstate encampment at Scdallu , Mo. , writes :
At n meeting aboul a month ago u num
ber of these who were the blue and grnv in
tnu war of Ibill-lW and who bellovo It was
ended fully twcnly-slx years ago , it was do-
elded that 11 was not only feasible , but. humane -
mane , liberal anil sensible , to hold an Intir-
state encampment In our city on the the Ud
and 5th days ( Inclusive ) of July next , nt
which thousands who were once nrraynd in
deadly conflict against each other , may bu
brought together in their declining years toe
n grand "lovo feast" nnd a good hand-shale
lug tlmo. No ono will bo required , or oven
expected , to attend In uniform or morgnnlra-
lions , but simply as cltl/ons of both the blue
and gray , with their families and friends
All will bo wi'lcome , and n general goea tlmo
may confidently bo oxpaxted.
On July there will be a grand old-fashion
barbccuo given nt the uncampmcnt grounds
( fair grounds ) , with Ils beautiful shades ,
drives and buildings for every comfort.
Invitations have boon sent to the following
stales ( twelve In number ) : Kansas , Iowa ,
Illinois , Indiana , Wisconsin , Michigan , Ohio ,
Kentucky , Tennessee , Arkansas , Texas and
Missouri , besides to many gentlemen of na
tional reputation throughout the Unltci
States , many of whom will bo speakers for
the occasion.
Amusements of various kinds will bo on
grounds during the entire encampment. The
grand parade of all the old soldiers of both
sides , citizens nnd military orgnnliTitlons ,
will take ulaco on the morning of July 4.
Our hotel accommodations nro ample for
nil who prefer llicm , but comfortable quar
ters , for sleeping , will bo provided for these
who mav deslro ( o remain on the grounds
overnight , nnd will bring their blonkeis wilh
them.
How It Appears to Young
Kato Field's ' Washington : "While two
little boys were looking over n collection ol
stamps , they came across a seal of the United
States war department. "I'll ' bet you don't
know what It is , " said Leo.
"I'll bet I do , " replied Sidney. That Is
why lhal Is I should think you'd know ,
Leo , that means it means th'it Ihey had a
ligul a few years ago , and the south tried to
depart from the north and tnat's ' the moan
ing of war department.

"Tho other day while crossing Lake Erie , "
said ( Judet Taylor , "my attention was at
tracted to a couple of very queer looking 'low
boats' which were being towed by Iho
steamer. The captain of our boat informed
us that they were what are called the cigar-
shaped McDougat bo.it. which ho believed
would eventually revolutionize the luke
trafllo.
"Thoy are made with air-tight compart
ments so as to make the usual speed in any
kind of weather. The waves break over
them without any datuairo und these now
built will carry about thirty-two hundred
tons or 100 cars of ere or grain , which , I was
advised , was fully one-third moro th'in Iho
average boat has been able , heretofore , to
handlo.
"Tho principle of Iho now boat Is to bo ap
plied to sea-going vessels , so the caplain In
formed ino aml iho canals Ihrough Iho lakes
are being deepened with n view to the ac
commodation of u much larger vessel.
"It is well known to these who have boon
keeping watch of railway building that the
Winonn , Omaha & Southwestern is now
within sixty or sevunly-ilvo miles of ihls
cily , building in this direction. When com
pleted , it will give Omaha direct communi
cation with Dulutb , nnd I want to call tha
attention of Omaha people to the importance
of agitating Iho question ot an air line Duluth -
luth connection , with a view of making Oma
ha Iho principal headquarters for grain of tlio
great western agricultural region as it Is
rapidly becoming thelivo stock con r.
"Tho building of the now boats , which I
understand will run from Dulutli , will cheap-
I on transportation rates , and In connection
I with Iho line of railway II would give us
transportation lacihtios far beyond anything
wo have heretofore hoped for.
"In conversation the otner day with n
prominent member of the Chicago board of
trade , ho made the remark that in ardor to
become a grain center , Omaha musl look for
assistance from Iho railroads not interested
in thu loner haul ; in other words , no claimed
that two of our leading lines of railway wnro
not specially interested in the proposed stor
age warehouses in Omaha. I have not in
vestigated this feature of the question but it
would scorn that the qtilcko.it solution of the
matter would bo the completion of the now
lines via Duluth. It Is possible that some in-
llucnco mlL'hr , bo brought to boar on the two
lines mentioned which would result In mak
ing Omaha /rain center.
"I do not fcoliovo the people begin to appro-
clato tbo value of the now warehouse law to
Nebraska. It will bring a great many buyers
from all parts of the union lo this city and
will give to our corn which Is now graded in
Chicago as the best No. - ' , un established
grade us Omaha No. In the markets of the
world.
"It means also largely increased bank de
posits and an active demand for fuads to
handle the product , moro clovstors , clorlts ,
citizens , and an increased demand for olllco
iiuildlngs.
"In my Judgmenlwonro Jusi entering upon
nn uncqualod your of prosporily and I bollovo
much can lw > dona to bring about that which
we all deslro the extension of the business
of this city und the country which it repre
sents. "
