( National Silver Committee.
1 NBW YOIIK , June 20. The national oxocu-
tlvo silver c&mmlttoo which mot at the HolT-
, man house last night was In session the most
of tbo day today. There were present Gen
eral A. J. Warner of Ohio , Chairman Francis
G , Nowhind of Nevada , Vice Chairman L , . M.
' Rumsoy of Missouri and Leo Crundall of
Washington. Hon. Edward Pioropont was
unable to bo present. Senators Jones and
Stewart of Nevada were at the hotel and
gave tbo committee the benefit of thplr ad
vice. As a result of tholr deliberations the
committee gave out this evening the followIng -
Ing address to the public :
The national executive silver committed desires -
sires to call the attention of the country to
the .object lesson which Is being exhibited In
the desperate struggle of the great financial
Institutions on both sides of tbo Atlantic to
increase the gold reserves to avoid bank
ruptcy nnd ruin , nnd that any increase by anyone
ono necessarily rod u cos the reserves of the
other. Why should such a condition of things
exist In a tlmo nf profound peace and abund
ant harvests ? Why should nil the great
banking Institutions attribute stagnation and
hard times to scarcity of money while they
1 tire exerting all their power to make money
I ncnrco by adhering to the gold standard ,
when they admit that there Is not enough
i fold to maintain business and credit in gold
I standard countries has been growing nar
rower as the slnglo standard has been ex
tended and the production of gold fallen
off , while the structure of credit
has been growing proportionately
larger nnd more Insecure , until the relation
of credit to actual money , as disclosed In the
Baring's failure lu gold standard Kngluud ,
has alarmed the world and started a now
scramble for gold that threatens business
undertakings nnd stalks as u menace to every
legitimate enterprise. Wo have been doing
business , paying debts nnd distributing our
annual products by a money standard that
has boon growing dearer and dearer until It
is CO per cent larger than eighteen years ajro
when silver mis clandestinely demoralized.
The people are determined that this injus
tice shall cease , nnd It will cease In spite of
the sophUtry of the gold worshippers or the
cupidity of the credit holding classes. The
remedy Is In the restoring of blmetnlism.
Support the credit structureof the banks and
the country by both the metals under free and
unlimited coinage. Mod It not boon for the
increased coinage of silver under the act of
July , Ib'.H ' ) , we could not have stood the drain
of gold that has recently bcon going on with
out the precipitation of panic and the pros
tration of business. Gold and silver without
limit are money by the constitution and this
money must b restored to the people. Tills
U the par amount Issued in this country and
should bo mudo such in the elections this
year.Vo regret tlmt the republican state
convention In Chicago practically declared
niraltut the free use of sliver as money when
they endorsed an act of congress which trcaU
silver as a commodity. The domnud for free
colnoKQ ol silver Is a demand that silver ihall
bo coined for usn M money , not bought as a
commodity. U U a demand that silver Itself
shall bo money nnd bo coined In the same
manner for use ns money ns It was for thous
ands of years before Mr. Sherman
omlttoJ from the mint bill In 1883 the silver
dollar. If the silver of the world and all that
can bo produced cannot bo restored to Its
place as money to supplement gold , bank
ruptcy nnd ruin arc Ir.cvltnblo , unless some
other kind of money can ho devised to toke
the place of both. Lot the Ohio convention ,
representing the gold tru.st , take warning
that If silver cannot bo romonotlzod gold will
bo demonetized and paper substituted for
both gold and silver. The people will not ba
destroyed for want of monoy. The gold
trust , by rejecting ono of the precious met
als , has taught how both may bo rejected.
The radicalism of the republican party of
Ohio for contraction Is In danger of being
met by a radicalism for Inflation. The time
for subtorfuire and ambiguity of language Is
past. Platforms intended to deceive voters
are Insulting to the Intelligence of the Amor-
lean people ,
How well we remember grandmother's

A Talk \vltli Lincoln.
Ono morning during the late civil war
? resident Lincoln received some visitors by
appointment nt an early hour , says a writer
n the Magazine of American History. A
iromtnctit senator ushered into his chamber
'our Englishmen of mature years and digni-
led bearing , ono of whom was Prof. Goldwin
Smith. Air. Lincoln greeted them cordially ,
nnd opened ttio conversation with an inquiry
as to the health of John Bright , whom ho
said ho regarded as a friend ol our country ,
and of freedom everywhere. PresonMy the
nngnitudo of recent battles was under dis
cussion , and Prof. Smith inquired if tlio
enormous losses of'nlou would not impair the
industrial resources of the country and seri
ously affect its revenues , reciting at tlio
same time the numbcrof , killed , wounded and i
missing reported after one of the great en
gagements , then of recent date. I
Mr. Lincoln replied that In settling such
matters wo must resort to "darkey arithme
tic.1' "To darkey aritnmeticf" exclaimed ,
the dignified representative of the learning
nnd higher thought of Great Britain. "I did
not know , Mr. President , that you have two
systems of arithmetic 11 "Oh , yes ! " said Mr.
Lincoln , "I will illustrate that point by a
little story. Two young contrabands wore
seated together when' ono said , 'Jim , do you
know 'rlthmctict' Jim answered , 'No ; what
is 'rithmetio ! ' 'Well,1 said the other , 'It is
when you adds up things. When you have
ono and ono , and you puts them togetlier
they makes two. And when yoi ) subtracts ,
u you nave two tilings and you takes ono
away , only ono remains. '
" 'Is dot 'rithmeticl' asked Jim. 'Yes.1
'Well , Hain't true dou ; it's no good , " Hero
a dispute arose , when Jim said : 'Now you
s'posd tbrco pigeons sit on dat fence , nnd
somobodya shoot ono of dom ; do t'other
two stay dnrf I guess not ; doy ily away
qulcker'n odder fellow falls1 ; and , professor
ser , trifling ns the story seems , it illustrates
the arithmetic you must use in estimating the
actual losses resulting from our great battles.
The statements you refer to glvo these miss
ing at the iirst roil call after the contest ,
which always exhibits a greafly exaggerated
total , cspeciallv in the column of the miss
ing. " Mr. William D. Kelley , who relates
this incident , says that after leaving the
president Goldwin Smith nnd his party of
friends sat besldo him ( Mr. Kelley ) at the
dinner table , and ho heard ono of the gentle
men Inquire : "Professor , can you give mo
the impression President Lincoln made upon

"Yes , " was the reply , "It was a very
agreeable ono. Such a man is quito un
known to our olllcial circles or to these of
continental nations. Indeed , I tnink his
place in history will bo unique. Ho has not
been trained to diplomacy or administrative
affairs , and Is in all respects ono of the pee
ple. But how wonderfully ho is endowed
and equipped for the performance of tbo
duties of the chief executive ouiccr ot the
United States at this time. The precision
and minuteness of his information on nil
questions to which wo referred was a suc
cession of surprises to mo. "

Lord Wolseloy's papers on the death of
General Sherman are not worthy his lord
ship , if his lordship Is to bo taken seriously
as a military nnd literary man. They have in
them Iho hateful tone of British torylsm
during the war. Tlioro Is continual exagger
ation of the chances against the south , and
all manner of making excuses for southern
failures. General Sherman is charged with
timidity because ho was cautious in pushing
forward into an Intensely hostile country ,
ngainst a powerful army ably led , with for
ests and rivers and mountains that wuro
formidable fortlhcations , Iho line of supplies
of the Invading army extending -too miles
through a hostile country raided by adven
turous nnd desperate cavalry. There Is the
same tone about the Grant campaign in Vir
ginia , and we are informed that Sherman
wa.4 timid again when ho thought Lee .vould
shako himself free from Grant and strike
southward. Why , that , ot all things , was
what Sherman's army hoped for. That wns
what Sherman was looking for when ho de
clined to takoslilpiit'Savannah for Citv Point.
Some day tbo great.laot will coma forth that
the majority of the lighting men of
this country were throughout the war fnv-
orablo to tbo cause of Joil Davis , rather than
tnat of Abraham Lincoln , for the southern
causa had tin cnorinnlisly greater number of
sympathizers In tho. nortli than thocauso nf
the nation had in thpi south. The southern
politicians ruined themselves , ilrst and last ,
thirst , they throwuway tbo advantage of n
democratic majority-tn both houses of con
gress. Then thoyjabandoned utterly the
. onstltutitlon they professed to ndoro and to
ntorprot by dlvlno1 'right. ' They also dlsro-
gardud the sentiment that clung to the old
Ing. What was tl'iiprlslng ) ) , | after the tiring
on Sumtorl It was thu tribute duo the long
suffering patlonco uml homely sagacity of
Abraham Lincoln.Tho superiority of tbo
statesmanship of Llucolu , ns opposed to that
> f Davis , was Ihuiroxhlbitod. The native
Contucklan wno mpvod to Illinois was an
iblur man and Inr wiber than the native
Contucklan who had moved to Mississippi.
It would have been cosy for Lincoln In have
so mismanaged as to divide some of the west
ern suites. If Davis bad abandoned his frantic
ailicahsm , but bold the north and divided
tlio border states -this with the almost di
rect assistance of Mr. Davis.

II. P. Archer , secretary of the proposed In-
orstato encampment at Sedullu , Mo. , writes :
At n meeting about a month ago a nutn-
icr of these who wore the bluu and gray in
tbu war of 1&11-U5 and who believe It was
ended fully twenty-six years ago , It was do-
cldod that It was not only feasible , but lit-
nano , liberal and sem-lble , to hold an intir-
tuto encampment in our city on the the ; ul
and 5th days ( inclusive ) of July next , at
vhlch thousands who were once arrayed in
deadly conlllct against each other , may bo
brought together In tholr declining years for
n grand "lovo feast" nnil a peed hand-shale-
Int ; tlmo. No ono will bo required , or oven
expected , to attend In uniform or in organiza
tions , but simply ns clti/ons of both tlio blue
and gru.v , with their families nnd friends.
AH will lie welcome , and a general good tlmo
may confidently bo oxpcxted.
On July 4 there will ba a grand old-fashion ,
barbecue given nt tbo encampment grounds'
( fair grounds ) , with Its beautiful shades ,
drives and buildings for every comfort.
Invitations have been sent , to the following
states ( 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 United
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 nil the old soldiers of both
sides , citizens and military organizations ,
will take ulaco on the morning of July 4.
Our hotel accommodations nro ample for
all who prefer them , but comfortable quar
ters , for sleeping , will be provided for these
who muv desire to remain on the grounds
overnight , and will bring their blankets with
them.
How It Appears lo Yonnj ?
Kate Field's Washington : "Whilo two
little boys wore looking over a collection of
stamps , they came across a seal of the United
States war department. "I1 ! ! bet you don't
know what it is , " suid Leo.
"I'll bet I do , " replied Sidney. That Is
why that is I should think you'd know ,
Leo , that means it means tint they bad a
light a few years ago , and the south tried to
depart from the north nnd tuat's the moan

Cadet Taylor Sees One Way for Omaha
to Get Tlicin.
"The other day while crossing Lake Eno , "
said Uudot Taylor , "my attention was at
tracted to a couple of very queer looking 'tow
boats' which were being towed by the
steamer. The captain of our boat Informed
us that they were what are c.illod tbo cigar- '
shaped McDougul boat , which ho bcliovod
would eventually revolutionize tbo lake
traflle.
"Thoy are made with air-tight compart
ments so ns to make the usual speed in any
kind of weather. Tbo waves broalc ove'r
them without any damage and these now
built will carry about thirty-two hundred
tons or 100 cars of ore or grain' , which , I was
advised , was fully one-third moro th'in ' tbo
average boat has been able , heretofore , to
handle.
"Tho principle of the now boat is to bo ap
plied to sea-going vessels , so the captain in
formed mo nnd tbo canals through the lakes
are being deepened with a view to the ac
commodation nf u much larger vessel.
"It is well known to these who have been
keeping watch of railway building tnat the
Winona , Omaha & Southwestern Is now
within sixty or sevonty-tlvo miles of this
city , building in this direction. When com
pleted , it will give Omaha direct communi
cation witti Dulutb , and I want to call the
attention of Omaha people to the Importance
of agitating the question ot an air line Duluth -
luth connection , with a view of making Oma
ha tbo principal headquarters for train of the
great western agricultural region as it Is
i rapidly becoming the live stock con r.
| "Tho building of the now boats , which I
understand will run from Dulutli , will cheapen -
, on transportation rates , and In connection
I with the line of railway It would glvo us
transportation lacilitios far beyond anything
wo have heretofore hoped for.
"In conversation the other day with n
prominent member of the Chicago board of
trade , ho made the remark that in order to
become n gram editor , Omaha must look for
assistance from the railroads not interested
in thu lone haul ; in other words , lie claimed
that two of our leading lines of railway were
not specially interested in tlio proposed stor
age warehouses in Omaha. I have not in
vestigated this feature of the question but It
would seem that the quicko.it solution of the
matter would bo the completion of the now
lines via Duluth. It is possible that some in-
fiuonco iniuUt. bo brought to bear on the two
lines mentioned whtcu would result lu mak
ing Omaha /rain center.
"I do not ijdliovo the people begin to appro-
date the value of tbo new warehouse law to
Nebraska. It will bring a great many buyers
from all parts of the union to this city and
will glvo to our corn which Is now graded in
Chicago as the best No. 2 , an established
grade us Omaha No. 2 in the markets of the
world.
"It means also largely Increased bank de
posits and an active demand for funds to
handle the product , more elevators , clerks ,
citizens , and an Increased demand for office
iiuildlngs.
"In my Judgment wo are Just entering upon
anunequnlodyourof prosperity and I believe
much can lie done to bring about tint which
wo all desire-tlio extension of tbo business
of this city and the country which It repre
sents. "
