and defensive operations, which il was
impossible to obtain at that point There
are two roads BY which the enemy can
attempt to enter Maryland, through
Smither's Gap or across the Potomac Al
Shepherdstown, and thence through the
gap Of South Mountain. To 60 through
Smither's Gap they must first retreat, and
in either case we have the inside track,

But there is a class of men amongst us

on a recent speech of Vice President Ste

rers and friends only to crafty his enemies
and those Of his country. He has at no

The Richmond Enquirer says "The great

Be Hopeful.

Whatever may happen, let US be hopeful
However disheartening the present-let US b.
hopeful. However the battle goes-let US
be hopeful. However forbidding the future
let US be hopeful. However weary grows
the eyes in watching for the tidings of the
brave boy in the 6eld-let US be hopeful
However bligbting the tidings when they
come-let US be hopeful. The country that
we love so fervently and suffer for so cheer
fully, expects US to be hopeful. The flag
that we cherish with such fondness looks
down upon US, pleading from every hue and
stitch and star that We be hopeful. All the
millions of down-trodden ipeople the whole
earth over, entreat US with tears, to be hope
full. Holy Liberty, the cause of the race, be-
seeches US to be hopeful. And hopeful We
will be. 1t is easy to be hopeful in so hope
full cause. The Spring months will not 20
without bearing their green garlands for the
brows of our chiefs, and the Summer will
not close without bringing US nearer the end
of our terrible strife for seli-preserva tion.
He who is over US is faithful and pure in
purpose, and he who is over all our armies is
a stranger to defeat, and He who is over all
and over both will see to it that government
and social order so benignant and excellent
shall not fall to the ground. Let US then be
hopeful.

q. 8. Ten-Forty Bonds.

! Instructions to the National Banks acting
as loan agents were not issued from the
Treasury Department at Washington until
March 26th. The banks generally did not
| begin to receive subscriptions until a week
later, and in more distant parts of the coun.
try are just beginning to work. Yet over
1913, 900, OO0-or about one-si1th-is already
taken. 1t start. with popularity rivalling
that of the 500 loan, which now commands
premiums Of from to II per cent. 1t is a
popular loan, aud why should it not be
Five per cent in gold is equivalent to eight
per cent in currency. The security is ample
and the final redemption as sure an anything
can be in the future The attempts Of inter
ested parties to compel the Secretary of the
Treasury to rise the the rate of interest on
this loan have signally failed. Thompson's
Bank Note Reporter says: "To those capt.
talsts who complain that Mr.. Chase ought
to pay higher rate Of interest, We say point
eddy, that the S per cent obligation against
the people is better than bond at any high
er rate of interest. For why? Your money
righteously invested, free from extortion
generously invested in your country's cause,
is, and will be through all time, VALID
The act Of Congress specially provides that
the principal Of these bonds shall be paid in
gold. If paid off after ten years with the
economical view of reborrowing at three or
four per cent interest-for after the war OF
1912 this government borrowed money in
Europe at three per cent-the payment will
be made in gold.
On this and all other funded stocks of the
United States, there is specific pledge Of
the customs revenue in gold, fer the contin,
ued payment of the interest in gold.
The following from the New York Times
is to the point and should be read by all who
nave money to invest-and almost every one
has little in these DAYS:
Saturdays subscriptions to the new loan
were two miliioLs. The bank of Commerce
alone subscrbes a full million this morning ;
others are prepared to follow; and, now that
It is settled that the loan is to be taken, We
trust that this week 5 subscriptions will reach
twenty millions, and these be largely exceed
ed by those of next week.
1t must never be ignored that the people
have complete remedy for currency initiation
directly in their hands Let them stop dist
patng their money in all kinds of moonshne
ventures and lend it to the government-tba
is, to themselves. Five hundred millions SO
lent between this and the lst of July would
contract the currency by nearly tina: amount,
approaching the greenhacks nearly to par
with gold, reducing importations to fraction
Of their present amount, and the prices of
all the necessaries Of life to a little more
than half their present average.
You, reader! can help prick this mischie-
vous bubble by Investing every dollar you
Can spare in the national loan and persuading
Your friends to do likewise. Almost any
other investment may result in failure, but
the country is bound to live and pay its
debts.
