An Address to the Public from the National Silver Committce. New Yous, June 20.—The uational execu- tive silver committee 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. Newland of Nevada, Vice Chairman L. M Rumsoy of Missouri and Lee Crandall of Washington. Hon. Edward Pierepont was unable to bo present. Senators Jones and Stewart of Nevada wore at the hotel and guvo the committeo the benefit of their ad- vice. ' As aresult of their deliverations the committee gave out this evening the follow- ing address to the public: ‘The national executive silvor committoe de- sires to call tho Attention of the country to the pbject lesson which is being extubited in the desperate struggle of the great financial institutions on both sides of the Atlantic to increase the gold reserves to avoid bank- ruptey and ruin, and that any increase by any one necessarily reduces the resorves of the other. Why should such a condition of things exist in a time of profound peace and abund- ant_ harvests! Why should all the great banking fustitutions attribute stagnation and hard times to scarcity of monoy whilo they are oxerting all _their power to make monoy scarce by adboring to the gold staudard, when thoy admit that there is not enough gold to maintain business and credit i gold standard countrics has been growing nar- rower as tho single standurd hus been ox- tended and the production of goid fallen off, while the structure of credit has been growing proportionately iarger and more insecure, until the relation of credit to actual monoy, as disclosed in the Baring's failure in gold 'standard England, has alarmed the world and started & new scramblo for gold that threatens business undertakings and stalks as a menaco to overy iegitimute enterprise, busiuess anuual prodilcts by a monoy standard that has been growing dearer aud dearer until it is 50 per cont larger thun eighteen years ago wheu silver was clandestinely demoralizod, Tho people are determined that this injus tice shall cease, and it will cease in the sophistry of the gold worshippers or the cupidity of the credit holding classes.

July, 1500, we could not have stood the drain of gald that has recently been going on with. out the precipitation of panic and the pros- tration of business. Gold and silver without 1imit are money by the constitution aud this money 1aust be restored to the people. This is the par amount issued iu this country and should be mude such in the elections this year, couvention in Chicago practically declared against the free use of silver as money when they endorsed an Aot of congress which treats silver as 8 commodity., The demand for free colnage of silver s & demand that silver shall ok at | | be cotned for use as money, not boueht as & commodity. It is a demand that silver itself sball be money and be coined in the same mannor {or usé as money As it was for thous ands of years bofore Mr. Sherman omitted from the mint bill in 1833 the silver dollar. If the silver of the world and al that can bo produced cannot be restored to its piace as money to suvplement gold, bank- ruptey and ruin are irevitable, unless some other kind of woney can be devised to take the place of both. Lot the Ohio convention, ropresenting the gold trust, take warning that if silver cannot be remoniotized gold will be demonetized and paper substituted for both gold and silver, ‘The people will not be destroyed for want of money, The goid trust, by rojecting one of tho precious met als, hins taught how both may be rejocted.

Ono morning during the late civil war President Lincoln received some visitors by appointment at an early hour, suys a writer in the Magazine of American History. A prominent senator ushered into his chamber four Englishmen of mature years and digni- fied bearing, one of whom was Prof. Goldwin Smith. Mr. Lincoln greeted them cordially, and opened the conversation with an inquiry as to the health of John Bright, whom ho said he regarded as o friend of our country, and of freedom everywhere. Presently the magnitude of recent battles was under dis- cussion, and Prof. Smith inquired if the enormous losses of uien would not impair the industrial resources of the country aud seri- ously affect its revenues, reciting at tho same time the number of killed, wounded and missing reported after one of the great en- gagements, then of recentdate. Mr. Lincoln replied that in settling such matters wo must resort to “darkey arithme- tic.” ““lo davkey arithmetict” exclaimed tho dignified repr: ana higher thought of Greav Britain. “I did not know, Mr. President, that you have two tems of arithmetict” “Oh, yos ! said ) Lincoln, “I'will 1illugtrate that point by a little story. Two_young contrabands were seated together whon one said, 4Jim, do you know ‘rithmetic? Jim answered, ‘No; what is 'rithmetic?” *Well,’ said the other, ‘it is when you adds up things, When vou have one and one, and you puts them together they makes two.

Lord Wolseley's papers on the death of General Sherman are not worthy bis lora- ship, if his lordship is to be taken seriously as a military and literary man. They have in them the hateful tonc of British toryism during the war. There is coutinual exagge ation of the chauces against the south, and all manner of making excuses for southern failures. General Sherman is charged with timidity because he was cautious in pushing forward into an intensely hostile country, against a powerful army ably led, with for- ests and mivers and mountains that were formidable fortihcations, the line of supplies of the invading army extending 400 miles through a hostile country raided by adveu- turous and desperate cavairy. There is tho same tone about the Grant campaign in Vir- gmia, ana we are informed that Sherman was timid again when he thought Leo would shaie himself free from Grant and striko sonthward. Why, that, of all things, was what Sherman's army hoped for. That was what Sherman was looking for when ho de- ned to take ship atSavannah for City Point, Some day the great fact will come forth thut tho majority of the fighting wen of this country were threugliout the war fay- orable to thie cause of Jeft Davis, rather thun U of Abraham Lincoln, for the southern cause had an_enorinously greater number of sympathizers in the norih thun the cause of fon bad in thp ‘south.

SR BE TERTRANSPORTATION RATI § ylor Sees One Way for Omaha to Get Ther “The other day while crossing Lake Erie,"” said Cadet 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 called the cigar- shaped McDougal boat, which he believed would oventually rovolutionizo tho luke traflic. 'hoy are made with air-tight compart- ments 50 as to make tho usual speed in any kind of weather. The waves break over them without any damage and those now built will carry about thirty-two hundred or 100 cars of ore or grain, which, I was , was fully one-third ‘more than tho age boat has beeun able, heretofore, to handle, “The principle of the new boat is to be ap- plied to sea-going vessels, so the captain in- formed wo, and the canals through the lakes are being deepened with a view to the ac- comwmodation of a much larger vessel. “It is well known to those who have been keeping watch of railway building tbat the Winoua, Omaha & Southwestern is now within sixty or seventy-five miles of this city, building in this direction. When com- pleted, it will give Omaha direct communi- cation with Duluth, and I want to call the attention of Omaha people to the importance of agitating the question of an air line D luth connection, with a view of making Or ha the principal headquarters for graiu of tho great western agricultural region as it is rapidly becoming the live stock cen r. “The building of the new boats, which understand will run from Duluth, wiil cheap- en transportation rates, and in' connection with the lino of railway it would give us transportation tacilities far beyond anything we have heretofore hoped for. “In conversation the other day with a promineut member of the Chicago board of trade, he made ths remark that in ordor to become a gram center, Omuha must look for assistance from the railroads not intercsted in the long haul; in other words, he claimea that two of our leading lines of railway were notspecially interested 1 the proposed stor- age wurehouses in Omaha. I have not in vestigated this foature of the question but it would scem that the quickest solution of the matter would be the completion of the new lines via Duluth. It is possible that some in- fiuence mizht bo brought to bear on the two lines mentioned which would result fu mak- ing Omaha o g7uin conter. I do not walieve the people begin to appre- clate the value of the new warchouse law to Nebraska. It will bring a great many buyers from all parts of the union to this city and will give to our corn which is now graded in Chicago us the best No. 2, an estabiished grade us Omaha No. 2 in the markets of the world, *It means also largoly incraased bank d posits and an active demand for funds to handle the product, more elevstors, clorks, citizons, and au increased dewand for office buildings. “In my judgment wo are just ontering upon anunequuled yoarof prospérity and [ believe much can bo done to bring aboul that which we all desire —tho extension of tho busiuess of this city and the country which it repre- sents.” Cadet To Dispel Colds, headaches and fevers, to cleanse the system effoctually, vet gently when costive or bilious or when the blood is impure or sluggish tly cure habitual constipation, to 1 tho kidneys and liver to o healthy nct without ivritating or weakening them, use Syrup of Fig: - Mrs, 8.
