Copyright, 1895. by James R. Gilmore)
In 1868 1 visited Washington on but
one occasion until late in December In
the meanwhile the battles of Chicka-
manga and Chattanooga had been
fought and General Rosecrans had been
removed from the command of the
army of the Cumberland. During this
December visit l called at the treasury
building on Secretary Chase, whom [
knew well through Robert T. Walker.
and among the first words that 1 said to
him were:
"A mistake was made and great in
Justice was done in the removal of Gen
eral RdSecranS.'
He asked if I knew enough about the
subject to speak so positively upon it
and | replied that if L could have had
his ear before the 18th of October, Mr..
Stanton would not have been able 10
persuade MIR. Lincoln to any such ac-
ton. Mr.. Chase expressed a strong de-

highest esteem for the character and

his head at Chickamauga. Up to that
battle L had persistently stood by him,

after the battle of Stone River, when

having IN mind what he (Chase) had SAD
to me of Rosecrans having lost his head
at Chickamauga, L had questioned MIN
particularly as to the bearing of the gen

you know there never was commander
so cool in tattie as old RosecIans: Aouv We
told me that you once asked MIN what
his sensations were while he was for two
DAYS so constantly under fire at Stone
River; and ne answered you that he mad
no sensations-that he was absorbed IN
planning how to beat them. Garfield SAID
that he was just as cool and collected at

nothing more, when he saw McCook was
broken; but at once prepared to meet the
emergency by sending him, with orders
on to Thomas, and going himself to Chat-
tanooga, to rally there our men, and hold
the pace; for that was the object of the
campaign; and so long as we held it we
could not be defeated" When | asked
Garfield why the government had re-
moved Rosecrans, he said that he did not
know; that the deed was done some time
before his arrival in Washington, and he
found it would be a waste of words to
attempt to stem the opposition against
the general--that everyone seemed to hold
him responsible for the disaster to Nc

To the dark unknown.

Judge Thomas to the Rescue.

In our last weeks issue we stated
that $143, 900, 900 of foreign coins cir
culated in this country: we should have
said 100000. 900. $143. 100000 of
silver was coined in this country from
1892 to 1873, over $52, 900. 900 of which
was coined between 1906 and 1910.
Admitting the Judges proposition to
be correct, that all the nations of the
world cannot keep the coinage and
commercial ratios of gold and silver
precisely together. the establishment
of a coinage ratio by any powerful COM
mercial nation will keep the CONNER
cial ratio from falling below the coin
age ratio, and thereby throw an obsta-
Gle in the way of any artificial depres-
sion of prices.
The Judge predicts that if the United
States alone should undertake the free
coinage of silver gold would leave us,
and we would be at once upon a silver
basis. John Sherman and other finan-
ciers of the school to which Judge
Thomas now belongs predicted that
when the coinage of silver dollars I'M
der the Bland-Allison act reached sew
enty-five millions, gold would begin to
disappear, but when silver had been
coined until we had over $500, 900, 600
silver dollars. we had more gold than
at the time of the passage of the Bland
Allison act. This fact shows that these
gentlemen are very unreliable as proph-
cts.
But, for the sake OF the argument,
let US suppose that his prediction
would come to pass under free COIN
age law-what would follow? In the
first place, gold would become more
plentiful is those countries that have
the gold standard, and it being forced
out of the channels of commerce here,
would become less valuable, having a
use SO far as seventy millions Of people
are concerned taken away from it. Sill
yer would appreciate, gold depreciate,
and consequently the two metals would

Gov. STONE, the goldbug Chief Elk

occupied considerable time in writing

has been politically swiped off the
face OF the earth by his constituents.
The Governor wanted to go to the
Senate to vote for ''sound money, and
submitted his claims to the Democrats
of his State. Last week the last re-
turns from the primaries came in. Ev-
cry county voted against him and
'ssound money!" and not a single vote
in Mississippi's convention will be cast

mournful, but the Governor has the
consolation of knowing that when he

of success before his people. he was
