upon the bull. He seemed to think it
some diversion for his benefit until the
troops attacked him in the flank and
severely prodded him. Then he
charged headlong. and the soldiers
gave way before him. Ranks were re-
formed several times, and by and by
the bull was bloody from the wounds
inflicted and was in fury. Laying his
tail fiat along his spinal column he
made n final assault. When he had
broken through the ranks of men he
did not pause, but went straight for
the fence. He hit the rails with such
force that he went through the fence,
scattering it for many rod ON each
side of the breach. The troops pursued,
but the bull had the start, and was soon
out of sight. Several minutes later
shot was heard down the road.
Presently soldier came toward the
bullfghters. Smoke was coming out
of his gun barrel.
"Who fired that shot?" demanded the
captain, sternly.
Didn't hear any shot," the soldier
said.

"when / was but 13 years of age, Capt.
Brydolf, First Lieut.. Holiday and Sec
ond Lieut.. Phillips being appointed my
guardians. Our regiment had the
credit of being the first to land at Shi-
loh. On Sunday morning, April s, the
first gun of the enemy pealed forth
and shook the very earth upon which
we slept. In few moments was on
the parade grounds, beating the long
roll, which was to call together an army
to fight one of the most cruel battles of
the war. l followed my regiment, but
in the confusion got separated from
them and went back to camp. l wan
dered about for time when long line
OF confederate infantry halted on our
front. They soon discovered the sick
men and marched them out, and then
they caught sight of me. The colonel
placed me in charge of guard, and
the regiment moved forward, passing
an old log cabin where a number of
wounded soldiers on both sides were
being cared for. AS we reached the top
of an incline a volley of musketry that
shook the earth flashed in our immedi-
ate front, and many soldier dropped
in his tracks to mark the spot. We
were taken five miles back, where a
temporary field hospital had been es-
tablished, and legs and arms were
stacked up in great profusion and
groans of the dying were most heart
-ending.
'"The next day we strated for Corinth,
Miss, which place we reached ut sun

were loaded into stock cars, and in

We reached Memphis, Tenn, where
we were give rations of bacon and sea

were taken to Tuscaloosa, Ala, and

after few months of untold hard

kets, and consequently he is brought
into ruinous competition with the man
ufacturers of the article which is pat
ented, and which is produced SO
cheaply.
The tax of two cents per pound would
necessarily require the retailer of oleo-
margarine to raise the price of his
product; and that part of the bill meets
with the objection that it compels poor
people to pay more for what they are
willing to buy and use instead of pure
butter. OF course it would raise rev.
enue for the government, but all of it
would come out of the pockets of the
poorer people. There is no objection,
however, to the requirement that small
packages shall be stamped and branded
so that the purchasers may know ex-
actly what they are getting. Under
existing law, dealers can buy oleomar-
garine, properly branded, in ten-pound
packages, and retail pounds and half
pounds without informing customers
that it is not pure butter. The large
manufacturers of oleomargarine, how
ever, are likely to employ expert lob
byists to prevent the passage of the bill

FREE SILVER EATulrY.
A Deadly Menace to thc Credit OF the
Nation.

Nation.
William Vincent Allen, n popuiist
senator from Nebraska (born an
Ohioan, worse luck y introduced reso-
luton in the United States senate the
other day which illustrates clearly the
fallacy of the free silver ut sixteen to
one theory. Its preamble recites that
the contingency of war between Great
Britain and the United States on the
Venezuela question may suddenly
arise; that money is "the first essen
tial in times of war, and in such an
event the government uses gold, silver
and paper money indiscriminately un-
til the two former disappear, and there
after relies solely on paper moneys"
and thereupon his proposition is n
resolution that the senate committee
on finance shall determine and report
by bill, whether the mints should not
be opened to the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of sixteen to one; issue
treasury notes (greenbacks) in "ade-
quate volume;" withdraw the issue
power from all national banks and re-
tire all bank currency.
Mr.. Aliens preamble states the cold
facts. Money is certainly the main
stay of nation engaged in war; and
coin circulates until the paper issues
become so redundant as to drive it out,
when coin goes to premium-or, to
state the same thing in other words,
the buying power of the paper money
depreciates, in proportion to it's volume
and to the probability of its speedy re-
demption in full-weight coin.
Senator Aliens resolution would be
all right if it provided for an increase
in the volume of full-weight coin; but
unfortunately it does net.
What is dollar? AS defined by the
coinage law of the United States, it is
25.s grains of STANDARD" gold. Sena-
tor Allen proposes to coin an unlimited
number of pieces, called dollars" at
the ratio of sixteen to one. At that
ratio, these silver dollars" would be
worth about half as much as q gold
dollar.
Therefore, if his resolution were en-
acted into law, it would intensity, in
stead of mitigate, the financial situ-
alton. 1t would at once drive all our
gold out of circulation, and reduce all
our paper currency - greenbacks,
treasury notes of 1890, silver certifi-
Gates and national bank notes to one
half the actual value they have to-day.
Has the country forgotten the costly
lesson of the greenbacks in the civil
war? The actual cost of that war was
hundreds of millions more than 1t
would otherwise have been, had we
been able to get along without green
backs.
Every dollar of Indebtedness now
owing in the United States was con-
tracted on a gold basis. Senator Aliens
measure would strike most deadly
blow at the national credit. 1t would
prevent marketing of our bonds
abroad, and we should suffer all the
evils of deprecated currency. The
war-if one comes-would cost us
| double what it otherwise would. It is
shame that any American should
| cfYer resolution aimed at the very
foundation OF our financial honor, in
an emergency like the epresent.-Toledo

THE SHERMAN NOTES..
Silver Still Being Coined for Their Re-
demption.

Silver Still Being Coined for Their Re-
demption.
A matter to which no great degree
OF attention has been paid is the re-
demption of the Sherman notes in
has been going on at the rate of $780,
600 week. This is attributed
to the demand for money in the west
to facilitate the movement of the CROPS,
and it is not expected to last after that
demand has been supplied
The redemption of the Sherman notes
in silver dollars has been going on Tor
purchase act, which is still unrepealed,
except so much of it as provides for
the purchase of silver bullion with le-
gal tender notes, the secretary of the
treasury has the option of redeeming
the notes in either gold or silver. sub
ject to the obligation of keeping all our
currency at parity. Whenever, there
fore, the holder of a note desires silver
he can get it. The secretary is also
required to coin as many silver dollars
from the bullion in the treasury as may
be necessary to provide for the reden.p-
tion of these notes under the direction
given him by the law. Hence the
secretary has been coming silver dol
lars from time to time, the coinage last
year hoving been nearly half as much
as the total coinage from the estab-
lishment of the government up to 1873.
Yet in many quarters the assertion that
silver has been stricken down" Is re-
ceived without question.
An unrepealed portion of the Sherman
act provides that mo greater or less
amount of auch notes shall be outstand-
ing at any time than the cost of the
silver and the standard silver doRars
coined therefrom, then held in the
treasury purchased by such notes." so
that it becomes necessary in order to
comply with the law to cancel the noles
SO redeemed. The original volume OF
these notes was $155, ,002. The re-
demptions in silver up to the close of
last month had amounted to $12. 504,T2
so that the amount now outstanding
has been reduced to $143,426,2so.
1t is worthy of notice that while the
silver dollars in existence have been in
creased by the coinage of the past four
years the number in circulation re-
mains limited, because OF their ten-
dency to flow back to the treasury. AT
the close of the year 1892 there were In
circulation silver dollars to the amount
of nearly $63,OO0,oO0. On July 81, 1854
the number had fallen to about SAL
100000. and on July 81 of this year il
was less than $52,0oO,oO0. On the first
of this month it was $55, 5,146,527. This
will probably fall off again as the need
for currency to move the crops he
comes less.-LouiEville Courier-Jour'
