During that session Mrs. Lincoln. with
the eldest son, was at the house for time
put was SO retiring that she was rarely
seen except at the meals. Robert was
bright boy, about four years old, and
seemed to nave his own way If there
were any other children 1 do not recall
the fact. During the short session of that
Congress Mr.. Lincoln lived down town,

When the busy advocates of free silver
some little time ago made it evident that
they and their friends proposed to inform
and misinform the country in the import
ant matter of finance, there was remark
able lack of published argument and tes-
timony of popular description on the
other side of the question. Books that
dealt technically and at times ponder
ously with sound money propositions were
good enough in their way, but they could
not be used to reach the masses which had
read with avidity the readable but deceit
full conclusions reached by those who
aVoWed themselves the friends of silver
and the enemies of all other money me tails.
Since that time, however, there have come
into existence in response to the demands
of that majority of the public that will not
bow down before the silver image a great
variety of books in which the fallacies of
silver fanatics are completely exposed.
Some OF these books are the following:
