Sherman was eloquent, ani mated, magnetic, learned In military history, ready to quote the examples of other commanders; above all,be was brilliantr Grant knew that be himselt wa9 none of these; and though* never lacking in self-confidence, he was often impressed by Sherman's splendid qual« Ities till he forgot the weight due to bU own soberer but more essentiar merits. To these Sherman, however, was not blind. He appreciated fully Grant's remarkable poise, and that absolute confidence In success which he likened to the faith which a Chris­ tian has In the Savior. He knew that Grant's very lack of imagination was sometimes an advantage In battle; for he once said: 'When I go Into battle I am always thinking of what the enemy Wilt do, bat Graat don't care a damn.'"

That during this last war for freedom and nation­ ality the government armed and sent to battle over two million ani a half of soldiers. That these soldiers were, with tbe exception or a small national police force called the regular army, toen from the workshops, the farms, the printing offices, the be nob, the bar, the pulpit, etc., and that every well Informed man, woman and child In this country knows that not one single- soldier who even went through one campaign (whether wounded or not) came home a souud man.

There are some honest, well-meant og men of limited Information among those wbo are making the most noise about cutting down tbe Nation's In­ come, but tbo great bulk of them are divided Into three classes, wbo are actuated by selfish matives. These are: 1. The soldier-haters, who want to defeat all future pension legislation by putting it out of tbe power of the na­ tion to pay pensions, 2. National-bankers, money-lenders, etc., wbo want to continue the Nation­ al debt Indefinitely, and are scheming to do so by putting It out of tbe Na tlon'8 power to pay off Its bonds as fast as they become due. 3. Tbe Fiee Traders, per se, of N]®w York aod other seaboard cities, who want to abolish tbe protective tarif) and destroy our home manufactures in order that every ton of produce raised on our fertile acres will have to be sent to tbe seaboard for sale abroad, and every yard of cloth and pound of iron needed by our people will have to be imported from abroad by these gentlemen from tbe seaboard cities. This, they calculate will greatly in­ crease their business importauee and profits, and their calculation is correct. Every yard of cloth and ton of Iron manufactured In this couotry is. In a *ense, a diminution of tbe Importance of the Importers, of New York, Boa- ton, etc. If tbe cloth or Iron was not made here It would have to be bought abroad, aud the importers would make a profit handling it. They would also make a profit in handling the bread- stuffs or other produce sent abroad to pay for it, and which are now con­ sumed at heme by the men who are engaged to the manufacture of iron and cloth. eratloosJiVe^ these ,twh|i»'A«we mi Hi* au^wspapers such bitter ail pensions, because the&e make a «§• himself possess, he felt hit o*n deft-' for the mooe; derived from ib:l«i on diers aod sailers who are 1 for the performance of labor,; vlding pensions to dependoat elves.
