New Yous, June 20.—The national execu- tive silver committoe which mot at the Hoff- mun house last night was in session the most of the day today. There were present Gen- eral A, J. Warnor of Ohio, Chairman Francis G. Newland of Nevada, Vice Chinfrman L. M. Rumsoy of Missouri and Lee Crandall of Washington. Hon. Edward Pierepout was unavle to bo present. Senators Jonos and Stowart of Nevada were at the hotel and guvo the committeo the benefit of their ad- vice. ' As a result of their deliverations the committeo gave out this evening the follow- ing address to the public: ‘e nutional exccutive silver committeo de- sives to call the attention of the country to the pbject lesson which is being extibited in the desperate struggle of the groat financial institutions on both sldes of the Atlantic to increase the gold resorves to avoid bank- ruptey and ruin, and that any increase by any one necessarily roducos the reserves of the other. Why should such a condition of things exist in a timo of profound peace and abund- ant harvests! Why should all tho groat banking institutions attribute stagnation and hard times to scarcity of money while they are exertingall their power to make money scarce by adhering to the gold standard, when they adwit that there is not cnough gold to maiutain business and erodit in gold standard countrios has boen growing nar- rower us tho single standurd hus boon ox- tended snd the production of gold fallen off, while the structure of credit has been growing proportionately iarger and more iusecuro, until the rolation of credit to actual money) as disclosed in the Baring's failure in gold 'standard England, hus alarmed the world aud started a new scramblo for gold that threatens business undertakings and stalks as a menaco to every legitimate enterpriso. We have been doing business, paying debts and distributing our annual products by a monoy standard that has been growing dearer aud dearer until it is B0 per cent larger than eighteen vears ago when silver was clandestinely demoralized, ‘Tho people are determined that this injus tice shall cease, and it will cease in spite of the sophistry of the gold worshippers or the cupidity of the credit holding classes. The remedy Is (o the restoring of bimetalism. Bupport the credit structure of the banks and the country by both tho metals under freo and unlimited coinage. Had it not boen for the increased coinage of silver under the act of July, 1880, we could not have stood the draia of gold that has recently been going on with out the precipitution of panic and the pros tration of business. Gold and silver without limit are money by the constitution aud this money 1aust be restored to tho people. This is the par amount issued in this country aud should bo mude such in the eloctions this yoar, We regret that the republican state covention in Chicago practically declared agaiust the free use of silver as money when endorsed an ot of congress which treats silver as a commodity. The domand for free colnage of sllver is o demand that silver shall | be colned for use as money, not boueht as & commodity, It is a demand that silver itself sball be money and be coined in the same manner for use as money As it was for thous ands of years before Mr. Sherman omitted from the mint bill in 1883 the silver doilar, If the silver of the world and all that n bo produced cannot be restored to place as monoy to supplement gold, bos ruptey and ruin are irevitable, unless some other kind of woney can be devised to take the piace of both. Lot the Ohio convention, ropresenting the gold trust, take warning that if sil cannot be remonetized gold will be demonetized and paper substituted for both gold and siiver. The people will not be destroyed for want of money The goid trust, by rejecting one of the preclous met. als, has taught how both may be rejected, The radicalfsm of the republican party of Ohlo for contraction is in danger of being met by a radicalism for inflation. The time for subterfuwe and ambiguity of language is past.

A Talk with Lincoln. Ouo morning during the late civil war President Lincoln received some visitors by appointment at an early hour, says 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. Goldswin Smith. Mr. Lincolu greeted them cordially, and opened the conversation with an inquiry as to the health of John Bright, whom he said he regarded as a friend of our country, and of freetom everywhere. Presently the magnitude of recent battles was under dis- cussion, and Prof. Smith inquired if the cuormous losses of uien would not impair the industrial resources of the country and seri- ously affcct its rovenues, reciting at the same time the numberof killed, wounded and missing reported aftar one of the great en- gagements, then of recent date. Mr. Lincolu replied that in settling such matters we must resort to “darkey arithime- tic.” “To darvkey arithmetict” exclaimed tho dignified reproseutative of the lea ana higher thought of Great Britain, I did uot know, Mr. President, that you have two systems of arithmetict” “Oh, yos ! said Mr. Lincoln, “I'will illugtrate that point by a little story. Two young contrabands iwero seated toether whon one said, *Jim, do you kuow 'rithmetic? Jim answeréd, ‘No; what is 'rithmetic? *Well, said the other, ‘it is when you adds up things. When vou' have oneand ono, and you puts them together they makes two. And when you sujtracts, if you have two things and you takes one away, only one remains.” s dab ‘rithmetic!’ asked Jim. ‘Yes. ‘Well, *tain’t true deu; it's no good.” Hero a dispute arose, when Jim said: ‘Now you s'posé three pigeons sit on dat fence, and somebodym shoot one of dem; de tother two stay dar{ I guess not; dey fly away quicker'n odder fellow falls;’ and, pro sor, trifling as the story seems, it illustrates the arithmetic you must use in éstimating tho actual losses resulting from our grent battles, The statements you refer to give those miss: ing at the first roil call after the contest, which always exhibits a greafly exuggerated total, especially i» the coluin of the mi g’ Mr. William D.

There is tho sume tone about the Grant campaign in Vir- guia, ana we are informed that Sherman was timid again when he thought Lee would shake himself free from Grant and strike sonthward.

That is— why—that is—I should think you'd know, Leo, that means—it means—that they had o fight a few years ago, and the south tried to depart from tho north—aud that's the mean- ing of war department.

TERTR - NSPORTATION RATE S Cadet Taylor Sees One Way for Omaha to Get Them. “The other day while crossing Lake Erio," said Cadet Taylor, “my attention was at- tracted to a couple of very queer looking ‘tow boats’ which wero being towed by the steamer. ‘The captain of our boat informed us that thoy were what are called the cigar- shaped McDougal boat, which he believed would eventually rovolutionizo tho luke traflic. “Thoy are made with air-tight compart- ments 0 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 tons or 100 cars of ore or grain, which, 1 was advised, was fully one-third ‘more than the average boat has been ablo, heretofore, to handle. ““The principle of the new boat is to be ap- plied to sea-going vessels, so the captain in- formed mo, and tho canals through the lakes are being’ doeponed with a view to the ac- commodution of u much larger vessel. “It is well known to those who have boen koeping watch of railway buildiug that the Winona, Omaha & Southwestern is now within sixty or scventy-five miles of this city, building in this direction. When com- pleted, it will give Omaha direct’ communi- cation'with Duluth, and I waut to cail the attention of Omaha people to the importance of agitating the question of an_ air line Du- luth connection, with a view of making Oma- ha the principal headquarters for graiu of the stern agricultural rogion as it is rapidly becoming the live stock cen r. The building of the new boats, which T understand will run from Duluth, wiil cheap- on transportation rates, and in' conncetion ith the lino of railwiy it would give us transportation tacilities far beyond anything we have heretofore hoped for. “Iu_conversation the other day with a prominent member of the Chicago” board of ade, ho made the remark that 1 order to . Omuha must look for assistance from the railronds not interested in the long haul; in_ other words, ho claimea that two of our leading lines of railway wero notspecially interestod 1 tho pronosed stor- age warehouses iu Omaha, I have not in vestigated this foature of the question but it would seem that the quickest solution of the matter would be the completion of the new lines via Duluth. It is possible that some in- fluence mizkt bo brought to bear on the two tines mentioned whic would result fu mak- ing Omaha a gzain conter. “I do not alieve tho people begin to appro- ciate the value of the new warohouse law to Nebraska, It will bring a great many buyors from all parts of the union to this city and will give to our cornwhich is now graded in Chicago as the best No.2, an estabiished grade us Omaha No. 2 in the markets of the world. “It means also largoly incraased posits and an active demand for funds to {le the product, more elovstors, clorks, citizons, and an increased dewand f3r office vuildings. “In my judgment wo aro just ontering upon an unequaled yearof prosperity and [ believe much can be dono to_ bring aboul that which sire —tho extension of tho business of this city and the country which it repro- sents,” bank de- Al L To Dispel Colis, headaches and fevers, to cleanse the system effoctually, yet gently when costive or bilious or when tho blood is impure or sluggish, to permanently cure habitual constipation, to awaken tho kidneys and liver to a healthy act tivity, without irritating or weakening them, use Syrup of igs. - Murs, 8, J.
