The celebrity Of Scotch gardeners is
said by high authority to be largely

years.

DR. Holmes, in his charming life Of
Emerson, remarks on the apparent
hygienic paradox that while Carlyle,
feeding on wholesome oatmeal, groaned
with indigestion all his days, the Con
cord sage, devouring pie at breakfast,
could yet defy dyspepsia. But If a
French physician was to be trusted,
the paradox, on Carlyle's side, at least,
is more apparent than real for he de
clarcs that oatmeal is the most indigesti-
BILE of food, and the Scotch the most
dyspepuc race in Europe. But this
need not surprise us on day when all
familiar rules of hygiene are turned
topsy-turvy when, at least, one emf

suppers and irregular meals when
port is discovered to be cure and TOT

Now, it is stubborn fact in the his.
tory OF finance, that whenever gold bears
a premium it becomes an article of
merchandise and ceases, practically, to
be medium Of exchange but the
moment silver dollars become current
exchange it must follow that they will be
exchanged ultimately at their actual
value. TO cover the fluctuations of silver,
prices must be raised or the commercial
world will suffer more or less every
month and every day of the month.
This has been amply proved during
the constant downward tendency of
silver bullion values in the United States
since the year 1870: in other words the
buyer pays the difference between the
two standards and the speculator col
lects the percentage. Gold has been
made standard OF exchange by com
mon consent, because it is the most
valuable, and, at the same time, the one
practically staple metal Of those used
as circulating mediums This financial
fact is illustrated by an historical fact,
that from ancient times nations have
marked their periods Of industrial ad-
varcement by the relegation of baser
coins, which has always ended in the
adoption OF gold standards in other
words, nations have always reached the
gold standard in the order of their in
dustrial rank and commercial prosperity.

up the supply OF current coinage, and
to furnish the amount OF gold used in

Bimetallism has never been, practi-
cally, success. The Latin Monetary
Union stopped the free coinage of
silver when its continuance was most
needed to protect the double standard
theory, simply because the union, up
to that time, had been interfering with
the laws OF value and the result was
inevitable. Whenever the laws of
value are interfered with, the results
can be traced in the seemingly unreason-
able and even capricious reactions
which take place in the commercial and
financial worlds But to restore BIZ
metallism and the Latin Union,
and hence to bring about the
possibility OF International bimetal-
lism, would be to restore the cause
which has produced the reactions com
planned OF. Restoration will not cure
these evils while the defect lies in the
stability of the standard OF the six
governments composing the Latin
Union, France, as the most important,
has already become embarrassed and
dissatisfied under the unions workings.
The Latin Union has practically failed
in rendering bimetallic circulation equa-
BILE and stable within its own limits and
would as hopelessly, yet more disas-
trously, fail il extended to meet the
theories oil the international bimetallists,
Some OF the leading bimetallists have
been forced by the practical results Of
the Latin Union to declare that they
only favor silver when it can be made
an equal standard with gold. This is
virtually giving up the question BY
placing the bimetallic argument upon
an impossible basis, such basis as
exposed the fallacies OF the great paper
money movement

From the year 1892 until 1884 silver
was made a standard of value in the
United States under " double stand
ard" law but, as no silver dollars were
coined from 1906 to the year 1896,
bank notes we're consequently used as
a circulating medium and there was not
up to that time any trial made of the
practical utility of the silver dollar as a
circulating currency. In the year 1894
the standard was changed to the gold
dollar to favor the gold-mining industry
OF some OF the Southeastern states,
thereby causing consequent "deprecia-
ton of ~ per cent in the standard of
contracts" In the year 1873 silver
dollars were demonetized without hav-
ing become circulating medium. This
last law would have given the United
States monetary system equal to that
of any other nation had it not been
that the "silver dollar was arbitrarily
restored" by the law, favoring the silver
mining interests of the west, which was
passed in the year 1873.

INSTITUTE.

The Grand Rapids Medical and Surgi-
cal Institute, under the management OF
Prof. g. w. Paine, Nj. d., is located at
the corner of Monroe and Division
streets. one of the finest locations In the
city. The institute was established for
the purpose OF furnishing to the people at
large the means OF obtaining medical and
surgi cal advice and treatment at prices
within the reach OF all, and the patron
age il has received affords ample proof
that there was a wide spread demand for
it in Western Michigan. The institution
is thoroughly equipped for the treatment
OF all forms OF chronic and acute diseases
under new system of treatment which
effectually eradicates blood poison, and
cures nervous affections, female com
plants, catarrh, consumption, rheuma-
tism, piles, epilepsy, etc.
Connected with the Institute, and I'M
der the direct supervision OF Prof. Paine
is a system of medicated vapor, electro
thermal and other baths TO whi IN patients
have access, and which are found of espe-
cial benefit in the treatment OF diseases.
A special feature is the treatment OF fe-
male complaints, rheumatism, etc, by the
ozO-disinfectant treatment.
The Institute has large number of
private apartments for the accommOda-
dation OF patients and corps of COM
petent and skilled lady attendants. Pa
tients are furnished with rooms. board,
baths, etc.
Prof. Paine was formerly connected
with the Philadelphia University Hospi-

prietor OF the Texas Medical and Surgi-
cal Institute, OF Dallas, Texas, so that
he has had an extended experience in
conducting such institutions. All com
