1t is now generally known and ac-
knowledged that the idea intended to
be conveyed by Gen. Hancock was cor
rect, and that it was a fair enuncia-
ton of political principle. Every
tariff bill which has been considered
since that time has been largely affect
ed by the local interests of the various
statesmen who have participated in
legislation of that nature.
The equestrian statue of Gen. Han
cock will accomplish a dual object.
1t will perpetuate forever the image
and memory of one of the immortals
who took part in the tremendous strug~
gle which resulted in making this land
of the free and home of the brave a
republic absolutely free from the stig-
ma and degradation of human slavery.
1t perpetuates forever the name and
memory of man who represents the
10000 individual soldiers who served
under his command throughout the
war with bravery and distinguished
patriotic self-abnegation.
This equestrian statue also adds to
the national capital work of art
worthy of the designer. 1t is, in fact,
the most artistic statue yet erected in
the national capital. Connoisseurs
have heretofore been unable to give
pleasing expressions of opinions con-
cerning the statues of American heroes
which are exhibited in our numerous
parks, but which do not adorn them.
II shall be glad to see another statue
of brave soldier unveiled in this city,"
said the eX-confederate, Lieut-Gen.
Wheeler, now a congressman from Ala
bama. "We rebel soldiers who survive
have no animosities in our breasts. OF
course, if we had won, and had set up
government of our own, we should
have had our capital city adorned with
statues of Lee, Jackson, Hill, Early and
the Johnstons. But we lost, and we are
to-day loyal to the flag. 1t is splen-
did object Lesson to have these statues
erected here, and we who are old
enough to be wise recognize that fact
Every confederate soldier who fought
against Hancock and HancoclS's men
will be ready to testify to their soldier
ly merit, and will be pleased to know
that his statue is to be set up in the
capital of the country he served &c
bravely and SO well."

The Dangerous Bland Experiment.

Before 1878 the government had never
undertaken to coin money on its own ac-
count, except subsidiary coins for small
change. All other coinage was done for
the owner of the bullion, and the Office
of the government was simply to give
name to the coins and fix their weight
and fineness, the stamp being simply
guarantee of the weight and tineness of
the particular coin, charging, if any
thing, only very nominal seigniorage.
The law of Mr.. Bland in coming 20, so
or 90 cents worth of silver into dollars
was a plain absurdity and most dam
gerous experiment.
Question-What would have been the
result if the Bland law had remained
on the statute book?
Answer-Ip the course of time the
constant issue of 100000 of cheap sill
yer dollars per month from the mint
would have resulted in such an ac-
emulation of this money that gold
would have disappeared from circula-
ton, and the country would have gone
upon silver basis.-R. Weissinger, l.

HANCOCK THE SUPERB.
Memorial Statue to Be Unveiled
at Washington, May 8.
1t VIII Stand on Handsome Pedestal al
the Corner of Seventh Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue-A
Real Art Work.
Especial Washington letter.

Winfield Scott Hancock, major gen.
eral United States volunteers, com
manding the Second corps of the Army
of the Potomac, was seriously and al.
most fatally wounded on July 2, 1863,
during the battle of Gettysburg, where
that eminent soldier had rendered dis
tinguished service by placing his corps
in commanding position to stop the
confederate advance and enable the
commanding union general, Meade, to
make such dispositions of the remain
ing forces of the Army of the Potomac
rs to check the advance of Gen. Lee
into Pennsylvania and break the back
bone of the great rebellion.
Gen. Hancock was for long time
critically i'll, but finally recovered and
returned to duty in command of his
corps. He participated in all of the
great battles in which the Army of
the Potomac was engaged, from the
Wilderness to Appomattox. He was
regarded by Gen. Grant, Gen. Meade,
and all of the other corps commanders
of the Army of the Potomac, as a SUI
perb soldier and a magnificent officer.
tellectual requirements, and of un.
daunted courage. 1t was said of him
by his brother officers that Gen. Han
cock would never order his men to go
where he did not dare to lead.
After the civil war was concluded
Gen. Hancock retained his position III
the regular army, and remained in the
service of his country until the day
of his death on February 8, 1856.
In 1880, he was the democratic candi-
date for president of the United States.
and was defeated by Gen. Garfield, the
republican candidate. At the con-
clusion of that political struggle, Gen.
Grant sententiously remarked to one
of his friends in New York city: Il
never knew Hancock to be defeated be-
fore. He was never defeated in war.
But he has been defeated in peace"
An appropriation of $4,000 for q
bronze statue of Gen. Hancock was
made by congress in 1894, and the con-
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1896-04-25

tract for the execution of the work was
given to a sculptor named Ellicott, of
this city. The artist prepared an
equestrian statue of the hero of Gettys-
burg; and the bronze figure of man,
horse and plinth were made by the
Gorham Manufacturing company, at
its factory in Providence, r. L. During
the past two weeks work has been
actively pressed under the direction Of
the artist, and very soon the parts of
the statue will be in place upon n
beautiful pedestal. 1t is the present in
tention of the management to have the
statue unveiled with interesting cere.
monies, on May S, the 32d anniversary
of the battle of the Wilderness. On
that day the Army of the Potomac
moved forward all along the line, and
the Second corps bore the brunt of the
battle in the woods with an invisible
enemy in their front.
The statue when completed and
placed in position will represent the re-
nowned military leader as he appeared
in that battle, and also as he appeared
in the battle of Gettysburg, where he
was stricken down in the midst of the
full-fiush of his most notable victory.
The pedestal upon which the statue
will be placed is 20 feet high and is
made of red granite. 1t is beautifully
carved and contains inscriptions con-
cerning the life and public services of
Gen. Hancock, and is located in beau
tiful triangular plot at the corner OF
Seventh street and Pennsylvania av-
enue. This is at present, and for many
years will be, the most prominent cor
ner upon the historic thoroughfare e
which traverses the entire length of
the District of Columbia. Past the
statue of Hancock all of the process
sions of Importance will march, and,
particularly upon Inauguration days,
tens of thousands, and probably hun
lreds of Thousands, will look upon this
statue of the military hero.
When the statue reached Washing
ton two weeks ago il was levied upon
for debt of $50, which claim agent
alleged was due him from the sculptor,
MIR. Ellicott. Inasmuch as the govern
ment had paid $4,000 upon the statue,
and had accepted the contract of th',
sculptor, the statue was practically the
property of the government, and the
] injunction was dissolved. Thereupon,

with heavy wagons the fourteen pieces
Of bronze work were conveyed from tho
freight depot to the position selected
for their lasting assignment. The en-
tire weight of the statue is 1900
pounds. The adjustment of the vari-
Gus pieces and the elevation of tho
statue to its permanent position on the
granite pedestal, has attracted the at
tention of passers-by so that on every
day and in all hours of the day there
have been crowds of men, women and
children looking at the workmen lii
their numerous concerted and neces-
sary movements.
The statue is of heroic size-1h times
life stature and proportions.
1t is proposed to make the unveiling
of the statue the occasion of o big civic
and military celebration in this city,
and bill has been introduced in con-
gress appropriating $1,000 to cover the
expenses of the demonstration. Tho
matter is in the hands of Col. Wilson,
superintendent of parks, several other
regular army officers and the veterans
of Gen. Hancock's old second army
corps.
1t is further proposed that the local
posts of the G. a. r., visiting posts
from Philadelphia and other parts of
Pennsylvania, the regular cavalry and
artillery stationed here, the marine
corps, Pennsylvania state militia and
District militia shall take part in the
parade and ceremonies. The unveil-
ing will take place about May 5, and if
the present programme does not mis-
carry it will be an imposing affair.
Among other features mentioned will
be salute by one of the regular light
batteries, a musical programme by the
marines and army bands and addresses
on the life and public services of Gen.
Hancock by noted orators from civil
and military life. During the presi-
Dental campaign of 1880 the tariff
question first assumed prominence in
public discussions upon the hustings
and in the newspapers. Gen. Hancock
was at that time induced to write let
ter upon the subject in which he said
that "the tariff is local ISSUE"
Inasmuch as the political opposition
was making the claim that the tariff
was national issue, apd of vast i'm
portance to the federal government as
national issue. that written statement
of Gen. Hancock's was used derisively
and sneeringly by his political antag-
onists, and was one of the factors which
largely contributed to his defeat at the
polls.

had no hesitation in permitting me to
choose my own trail one morning and
follow it alone afoot, he and the guides
scattering in other directions. The
taste of the camp coffee was still upon
my lips; my cheeks tingled with the
frosty breath of the morning air as
kept cautiously to the windward of the
elk, whose trumpeting stirred me like
martial music.
"a stray bear track showed here and
there in the fresh snow. But / was
after elk. A hundred miles lay between
our camp and the nearest settlement.
All! the solitude of those woods!"

A "PER CAPITA" coNuNDRuM.
The Essence of Cheap Money and Fiatist
WisdOm.

The Essence of Cheap Money and Flatist
Wisdom.
Every true worshiper of the silver
"fetich" believes as the first article of
the free-coinage gospel that if the guam
tity of money is doubled prices will be
twice as high. This is the essence of
the per capita argument, and is consid-
cred by both silverites and fiatists to be
the sum of financial wisdom. Second
only to their faith in the sacred words
''per capita" is the belief of the cheap
money advocates that the undeniable
prosperity of France is due to the fact
that that country has about $40 of
money for each inhabitant. Attempts
to show that in reality the French peo-
pie are prosperous because of their high
level of intelligence, their skill in the
industrial arts, their system of land
holding and methods of cultivation and
the great and varied natural resources
of the country have had no weight
with the one-idead silver agitators.
Since France has nearly twice as
much money per capita as the United
States, according to the believers in the
theory that the quantity of money
fixes prices, goods should be twice as
dear in France as in America. Now, it
is notorious that such is not the case.
On the contrary, the products of French
mills, factories, ETC., are sold so cheaply
that it is necessary to impose heavy
duties on them to prevent their compe-
tition with high-priced American goods.
Will some per capita financier explain
why the large volume of money in
France does not raise prices in that
country?

Manufacturers and Mine Owners Alliance


1t will pay laborers and farmers who
are favorably inclined toward free coin
age to study the reasons for the alliance
between the free-silver people of the
west and certain manufacturers of the
east. One of the reasons mentio2ed by
the manufacturers is that our manufac-
turers cannot, with present prices for
labor and raw materials, compete sue
cessfully with free-silver countries. Put
into plain English, wages and prices of
raw materials-largely farm products
are higher in the gold than in the sill
yer standard countries. 1t will be to
the advantage of our manufacturers,
therefore, if this country should drop
to silver basis. Supposing that this
statement is true, what do our wage
earners and farmers say?
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1896-04-25

To Farmers-You can get more for
your wheat by legislation. Hereafter
let 80 pounds make bushel, and you
will have twice as many bushels to
sell.
To anufacturers-There is a way
for you to get more dollars for your
product. Hereafter let us put but so
cents i'll dollar.
To Wage-workers-As soon as your
living expenses are doubled you may
strike your employer for raise.
To the Middleman-When prices are
doubled, your profits will be doubled.
To the Speculator-When prices are
made uncertain, you will have an old
