IngersolI on the Money question.

Inc rlcneSC WORD painter OF all Une
older political speakers, Robert G. In
gersoll, is still in the harness. His
nominating speech at the Cincinnati
convention of 1875, in which he eulo-
gized James g. Blaine as the "Plumed
Knight will live forever in the his
tories of political campaigns.
More than 90 years ago he delivered a
speech at Cooper Union, New York, to
an immense audience, and what he said
there is closely allied to the great
issue of the present campaign. Here
it is:
II am in favor of honest money I
am in favor of gold and silver, and
paper with gold and silver behind it. I
belieue in silver, because it is one Of
the greatest of American products, and
am in favor of everything that will
add to the value Of an American pro-
duct. But want silver dollar worth
a gold dollar, even if you make it or
have to make it l feet in diameter. No
government can afford to be clipper. of

we feel good. When our money is at
par that is where we are. am pro-
found believer in the doctrine that for

experts of gold from the United States
| to all foreign countries has amounted
to $l33, ,000 900, or an average OF $6,650,-

way, the export of silver in excess OF
the imports has amounted to 1906, 600,
900, considerably more than twice as
much, and an average yearly of $l5,-
100000 The exports Of gold in excess

equal. In thez0 years we have sent
away twice as much silver as gold, and
thought it was product of our mines
well disposed of, as it was, for we goi
in exchange for it something we wanted
more than we did silver. Yet in all
that time we have not sent abroad
enough of gold and silver nor scarcely
much more than 10 per cent enough tt
pay that alleged sum due each year fol-
foreign interest account.
The bulk of the gold exported has
gone abroad in the last half dozen years
or since the silver agitation began tc

the case is similar to the time of the
war. during which reign of cheap money
| gold went abroad steadily. --Pittsburl

DESTRUCTION OF WASHINGToN.

serve had occupied in the morning. |
saw shattered remains, for out of the
twelve hundred men who bore the
brunt of the battle, nearly One-halfh had
fallen: whilst of those who survived,
and were fit for duty, many were alb
sent for the purpose of attending to
the wounded, and burying the dead.
As was but natural, my first and more
eager inquiry was for Charlton. One
friend, not indeed of long standing,
but still sincerely beloved d,-had this
day been taken from me. | trembled
lest I should he doomed to learn, that
another was in the dust. But my fears
were groundless, for Charlton was safe
and unhurt, and we embraced, as friends
are accustomed to do when they meet
again at the close of hard-fought ac-
ton.
Nv wound, though not severe, be-
gan about this time to trouble me; the
limb was stiff, and the eNertion of walk
ing had produced some Inflammation.
A little to the rear of the field OF battle
stood a cottage. into which my friend
conducted me. We found in it few
accommodations; but it afforded at
least clean water and towel, which,
with fresh handkerchief, we applied
to the hurt, as the best, and indeed the
only dressing, which could at that mo-
ment be obtained; for the surgeons
were all too busy to attend to case
so little urgent This done, we gladly
threw ourselves upon sort ofboN-bed
at one end of the room, and were asleep
in five minutes.
Our repose. however, was not oflong
continuance. The cottage soon be-
came a place Of general rendezvous to
all the officers of the brigade, and the
scene thereby occasioned was at once
too lively, and too stricking, not to
call into play the senses both of actors
and spectators. Congratulations and
hearty greetings, mingled with an oc-
casional expression of sincere regret,
broke in upon our slumbers; and the
anecdotes which each was enabled to
relate-the mode in which affairs were
conducted at different parts Of the field
Of the conspicuous value of this or
that soldier: of the daring or timidity
of the enemy ut this or that point in
the fiell-were all great deal too in
tercsting to be listened to with drowsy
ears. We quilted our couch, and join
ell heartily in the conversation and
mirth of those about us. OF sober
thought it must be confessed that little
intervened; the excitement of battle
was yet too recent; and it is not under
such circumstances that mans better
and holier feelings are in force. Sor-
row we did protess-ay, and felt it too
that more than one cOmra"e whom
we loved, were absent; but our minds
were too much occupied with other
thoughts, to afford room for any pro
found or even acute repinings.
We had been thus employed for per-
haps an hour and something better,
when an orderly sergeant arrived with

There were three brothers who came
to the same school where was but

distance, and had to pass on their way
to school througha a stratum of inferior
responsibility. Every morning brought
to these three brothers the delight and
the excitement of battle with the boys
belonging to that inferior respectable

idea of seeing it; but l did look around
for the spot where ne fell, and | was
grieved and disappointed that l could
not distinguish it. The lapse of few
moments, however, was sufficient to
draw off my attention to other, though
hardly less painful subjects. We were
already in the village; and halt being
commanded, an opportunity was afford
ed of enquiring into the condition of
the wounded. l failed not to avail my
self of it; but whilst the men were busy
picking up their knapsacks which in
the heat of action they had cast away,
l stepped to the hospital and paid a
hasty visit to the poor fellows who oc-
cupied it. 1t was a notifying reaec-
tion, that, in spite of our success, the
total absence Of all means of convey
ance, laid us under the necessity of
leaving very many of them behind; nor
could the non-commissioned officers
and private soldiers conceal their cha
grin on the occasion. One of these, a
sergeant of my own company, who had
received ball through both thighs,
actually shed tears as he wished me
farewell, regretting that he had not
shared the fate of Mr.. Williams. 1t
was in vain that 1 reminded him that
he was not singular; that Colonel Thorn
ton, Colonel Wood, and Major Brown,
besides others of less note, were DOOM
ed to be his companions in captivity;
neither that consideration, nor the as
surances Of a speedy exchange, at all
served to make him satisfied with his
destiny. Yet no apprehensions could
be more unfounded than those of that
man; for however unlike civilized ma
tions they may he in other respects, in
the humanity of their conduct towards
such English soldiers as fell into their
hands, the Americans can be surpassed
by no people whatever. TO this the
wounded whom we were compelled to
abandon tonight bore, after their re-
lease, ample testimony; and they told
a tale which hundreds besides have
corrOborated.
