run by few syndicates in the interest of
the money changers and the question pre-
scented to our people is whether the people
shall take charge of our government and
run it in their own interest farm it out
to those syndicates to let them run it in
their own interests. If our present financial
policy is to be maintained if gold is to be
the only money which is good enough for
the government to use when it pays the

that policy. must continue to issue bonds

about honest money. l warn you that no
people were ever competent to bring lu nest
money who were willing to deal dishonesty
with the people from whom they expected

You tell me that man who has a salary
now can make his dollar go further than il
used to go. 1t is true. If a man has a
salary fixed for life and has no care for
his children he might profit by a gold
standard, but. my friends, remember that
your salaries are not fixed for life. aud you
who to-day are getting salaries cannot tel
whether tomorrow you viii be on the

being ambushed at the great bends, where
the timber and brush were SO thickly grow.

| In June, 1868, the fleet of boats, six in
number, under convoy of seven gunbOats
were taking ammunition and other supplies
to our army aud navy at the siege of Vieks-
burg. AT Cyprus Bend, on the morning oil
| the 23d, the fleet was fired upon from land
batteries completely hidden by the dense
forest of timber and brush. Two of the
boats, laden with horses mules and Quarter
master stores, were completely riddled with
cannOn-balls, and many of the horses and
mules killed. The steam-pipe, too, was
broken end the boat filled with steam, thus
scalding to death the animals. The boats
were not lost, but foated down stream.
Our gunboats shelled the rebel battery
and drove it back. Our loss was only two
men. The bank being high the guns of the
enemy could not be depressed so as to bit
our fleet of boats under the water-line.
The writer of this was on the great steamer
Jacob Strader, which had in the hold 800
tons of ammunition. This the rebels knew,
and intended to destroy the boat by blow
ing her up with hot cannon-balls thrown
into the ammunition, but they failed in
that.
The boats and cargos were delivered to
our army and navy on the oath, and the
rebel army got the full benefit of the shot
and shell which were conveyed.
Another time, in September, 1863, steam
boat going from Vicksburg to Memphis stop
ped at landing to take OH wood and got her
supply. The next steamer stopped there
also, and while the crew and the soldiers were
carrying wood onto the boat they were at
tackled by the enemy, and all the soldiers
killed or taken prisoners. The steamboat
was burned.
The bodies of soldiers were often seen
floating in the water. No doubt there were
many soldiers struck down and thrown over
board into the water by some of the crew of
the boats, who were rebels. yet had taken
the oath of allegiance 10 the United States.

The shot came tearing down the road, but
not quite far enough 10 reach u.s. so straight
that it was deemed prudent 10 give them
the right Of way, for there was little doubt
about the capacity OF that gun 10 hold il if
il was well worked. The battery was

along through the brush and timber as best
we could. expecting every moment another

We gradually worked our way toward
the read until we were again upon il. but
not without apprehensions for our safety,
for we well knew the power of the camp

it was highly probable that such mix
would occur unless some accident had hap
pened TO the gun, which we afterw ards
found 90 be true.
BY this time the light guns at the fort
and our skirmishers were making considera-
bile noise. We knew that we were not far
away, but could see nothing. owing TO the
brush and timber. While yet behind this
