Xew&and Observer. . : . r
One of the most eloouent sneeches
that has been delivered in a long time
is the address of Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll,
to his old command, at Elm wood. 111.:.
last Thursday. It is rematkable, not
only for its broad and patriotic spirit,
but also for the hopeful view he takes
of the iuture of the United States.' Of
course there are " portions of it that
southern men will not . approve, - but
there ia very little that weuld not find a
cordial commendation here. We never
read anything Col. Ingersoll Bays with
out regret that a man of his splendid
endowment should be wanting in that
faith which is chiefest of . all endow
naenis.' ' - , . " '
In this speech he was talking to his.
old comrades in arms as they were pre
paring to go to the great GL A. E, gath
ering; 1 Small men useN such occasions to
reviye bitter feelings and to wave the
bloody spirt. . We make room " . for two
extracts today to show how. eloquent,
board and patriotic were the utterarices
of Col. Ingersoll. It will be difficultno
find a sweeter and more elegant exor
dium to an address than this:
. "It gives me the greatest pleasure to
meet again those with whom L- became
acquainted in the morning of. my ttfe.
It is now afternoon. The sun of life is
slowly sinking in the west, and before
evening comes, nothing can be morel
delightful than to see again the faces
that I knew in my youth. When I
J knew you the hair was brown; it is now
white. . lhe marks were not quite so--deep
and the eyea were' not quite so
dim; and mingled with i this pleasure" id
sadness, sadness for those who have
passed away for the dead. And yet I
am "Sot sure that we ought. ' to mourn-
for the dead. I do not know wnich" ial
better life or death. And it may be
that death is the greatest gift that eves
came from nature's openvhands; we do.
not know. There is one thing of which!
I am certain, and that lis, that if we'
could live forever here,'! we would are
nothing for each other.; i The fact that
we must die, the fact j that the feast
must end, brings our-: hearts together,
and treads out the weeds between the
paths. And so it may be after all, that
ove is a little flower that grows On the
crumbling edge of the grave. So it may
be that were it not for death there would
be no love, and- without love all - life-
would be a curse, j I sky" it ,gives me
great pleasure to meet you once again
great pleasure to congratulate you on
your good fortune the good fortune of
being a citizen of the first and grandest
republic ever established upon the face
of the earth." " - ! " . .
In all the G. A. E. addresses delivered
we doubt if any ex-Federal soldier haq
viewed the true situation more wisely
and philosophically thau Col.- Ingersoll

In his recent sound money speech at

cited the following historical facts i; :
The United States today has a larger
circulation per capita: than - any free
coinage country ever did have. . . , :
It has more gold dollars per capita
than any free coinage country on earth
today has of all kinds of money. ' j
, Tfc has more silver dollars per capita
than any free silver country today, f.
It ha3 more gold than silver, and. the
volume of its silver circulation is great
er per capita than the entire circtilatibn
of gold, silver' and paper reduced to
silver of any free coinage nation, j
The United States under a gold stand
ard since 1 873 has maintained; a
greater circulation per jcapita han it '
ever, did before. - . L '
; There has been five times more silyer
coined under the gold standard, from
1873 till now, 22 years, than there was
under free coinage from 1792 to 1873,
81 years. -'
Every nation that hss adopted f he
gold standard, except oi ie or two wiho
are on depreciated paper bases, ha3 in
creased its circulation. J -
No-nation of first class - civilization
has the silver standard.
Mexico is the highest type of free Sil
ver nation on earth on' double standard,
so called, and its por capita circulation
is $4! 71.
, Our per capita circulation- has n
creased since 1873 more than the entire
circulation of Mexico. ; ..
. The' wages of no free silver country
on earth average a third of those in the
United States. f .-. ,
,No country on earth has in practice a
double (gold and silver) standard. I -,
No country for 200 years (since cqm

Gen. j D. S. : Grant and Jeiferson Davis
were relatives, having a cpmmcn ances
tors in the third generation back, in
William Simpson, of Bucks county, Pa,
who f was grandfather to both General
Grant's mother : and Jefferson- Davis's
father.' So says Mr. Washington Da-
vis, of New York, in The Herald of Aug
ust 35.. who backs his assertion ..with
documental proof. - Mr. Davis says that
he ' hadalwavs regarded the rumor
the Grant-Davis relationship as mere fic
tion until very recently when he had
occasion to turn the leaves of some old
family . records -which "gave him some
definite statements. . .-;.;..

take these States out iof the Republic?
That was the question!. 1; The great West
had another interest, and that was that
no enemy, no other nation, should con
