TEE "NAr1oN" AND THE GOLD FAMINE

THE NATION" AND THE GOLD FAMINE.
Tho New York Nation blunderIngly and
unwittlngly warns Congress against the de-
monctlzation Of the grcenback md the de-
monctizatlon Of tho silver dollar, two mcas-
tires to which TINT paper Is intensely devoted
and In bellnlf Of which 1t llas expended many
pages Of rhetoric. In the last issue of that
paper, commenting Upon the large increase
Of imports and tllo falling of in tho propor-
tton Of our exports, 1t reaches tho following
conclusions:
"Wlslout doubt, however, tho country Ia on
the road to change In tho forcIRn-trade bal.
a1Ieo. although this chnnge may not bo rcnchel
for suvorul months, for tho reason that Europe
Is agnin freely tuking American securities of
approved Ynl,lo.
ut is well To keep In mind tho fnot that when
tho foreign exchanges tlnally turn agltnst us,
and specie exports ttc0ne necessary, gold will
Disappear, and NIL tho beauties Of tho dollar OF
tho fathors will bo nado apparent even to tho
duilcst.''
Thu two facts stated are that there is 4 DIM
ger TINT ~ even In few months the balance
OF tradc may be changed agalnst tlls United
Statcs; and (a) that when this takes place,
and this country Inns to export specie, tic
gold will be exported because we have sll-
yer legal-tender coin. 1t Is a strange rule
that 1nes not work both Ways Whom the
balance OF trnde WIS in cur favor Great
1}rfsnin had to send gold to this country,
though sho has no silver; and the Nation
now complains TINT when VIC have to pay our
balances VIC will have to export gold becalse
we hnvc silver. Tho fnct Is, tint Great
Britain could export gold to this country to
pay balances due us, ni,d TINT Frnnce could
do tho SAME, bccRuse both countries have,
exclusive Of gold, M all-sutticlent supply Of
lcgaltcnder debt-paying Money,-the ono
paper nlld tho other slser,-mld, therefore,
there was no danger of drain or OF scarcity
of 1egnl-tentlor money In either country.
The exports OF money by all countries III
payment OF balances nre always III gold,
and the flow Of gold to and from this country
llas no mora connection With the fact that
our silver dollnr is n legal.teudcr than 1t has
with the earthquakes iu Central America.
The gold went out FROM this country down
to lS77 because the ynlue Of cur exports did
not etluaf the value Of our imports and the
amount Ut our Interest payments In Europe.
Since tl!at time our imports Of merchandise
haYs decreased, the ya!ue Of our exports has
Increased, mud our bonds have been sent
home mid the Interest theruon Is not now
paid abroad. Tho Nation now warns the
country that tie balance of trade Is nhont
to 10 ruyursed; that we are importing mer-
chanllse In excess Of our exports, aild TINT
In few months we will have To pay
the balancc In gold. All this is truo;

Mr.. Fellows is daily in receipt Of letters of
enquiry, from various parts, respecting his
Syrup Of Hypophosphites. One recently re-
ceived, leads to the belief that the public
mistake his meaning in reference to its eff

Where the intellect has been impaired BY
overwork or by kindred causes, the use of
the Syrup, together with proper precautions
in the use Of food, clothing, exercise and rest,
will restore full power to the brain and
nerves. Superiority Of genius consists in
great capacity of brain for assimilating ma

in proportions but as by far the greater num-
Der are not well endowed by nature, conse-
quently lacking this capacity, it would be
quite impossible to find Uranium space for
