Rnorn Gus pe@and For Gold.

That the closing of the mints to
silver had any effect on the price Of
the white metals is strenously denied
by the aoldite organs.
This denial Is made to support
their theoas that one cannot create
value by legislation, ind in the face
of the fact that when thle mint of
India was closed to silver the priee
fell more than 40 PEI cent in three
days. These clever writsrs also
ignore the fact that when japan went
to the gold standard. although that
nation never coined more than $lp.-
ooo,oo a year, the price Of silver
fell off several points.
With a charming lack of logic the
brilliant financiers of the Republican
press are announcing that there Is a
marked increase in the output Of
gold. and that as a consequence
prices of commodities will rise.
In this statement the fact that there
has been au enormous increase in
the demand for gold is entirely
ignored.
II, upon comparing the demand for
gold with the supply Of that metal.
it is found that there is not gold
enough to keep the prices Of com.
modities at reasonable figure, then
the conclusion must inevitably
follow that there II not enough gold
produced to satisfy the demand.
In 1873 only two nations in the
world were on the gold basis, name.
ly: Great Britain and Portugal.
These countries had at that time
a population of about $4,000, 900.
To-day there are about 4so, 600. .ooo,.
people who are making demands on
gold. Has the increase in the pro.
duction Of gold kept pace with the
increase in demand fore itl OF
course it has not, and that settles
the question.

that went into that sanguinary conflict
came out with but thirty men, and one
which went in in the morning with 200

but fifteen!
As Logan appeared at the battle of At

which he participated during the wac. He

Care for His Men.
DIR. Roller was with Gen. Logan during
the entire war. He declares that one OF
Logan's marked characteristics was his
care for his men. During battle he ex-
pected them TO fight, To dare anything
which promised victory. Al other times
no commander could have been more at
tentive To questions of food, shelter and
hospital care. DIR. Roller relates an eX-
ample Of this which occurred at Hunts
vile. Ala. The army spent two or three
months there in winter quarters. Logan
was popular even with the Southerners
there because of his fairness and genial
ity. One OF the Union generals. now dead.
was known to sympathize strongly with
the enemy, although in Federal uniform.
This general and his staff had been quar-
tered in a large mansion in the outskirts
of the town. 1t belonged to a Southern
gentleman To whom that particular gen
eral was much attached. He promised
that when he and his staff retired the
house should not be Occupied further by
the army. When the time came to move,
however. there We're many sick and
wounded to be left behind. The only
available house suitable for hospital was
the old gentemans mansion. nr. Roller
called on Logan and related the circum-
stances. Logan ut once said: When it
comes 10 Il conflict between our friends
and our wounded soldiers. I'll take the
part of the wounded" and Immediately
ordered the house to be used for hospital
purposes.

the left flank, while Gems. Schofed and
Thomas were TO attack his right and
rear. Mcpherson soon discovered that
Sherman had been completely mislcd. and
ordered LCgan's troops to go into position
for battle. About noon, the firing having
become general all along the line by that
time, McI,herson rode ont almost alone to
observe the carrying out OF his orders. In
