LONDON, Oct 15.-The battle over vivi-
section, begun at the Church Congress, is
becoming terrific in its intensity. Epithets
that usually lead to blows are being freely
exchanged in the printed correspondence of
the Times and elsewhere. To-day the four
great leaders of the medical profession, Sir
Andrew Clarke, James Paget, Samuel
Wilks and George Humphrey, write joint
note to the Times declaring that they will
say nothing more about the subject in pub
lie print, for these terse reasons:
'Firstly-After full consideration we are
satisfied that the scientific aspect of this

became inflated the price CT che pro-
duct of the producer by the same opera
ton became inflated In the same proper
tion, while the wages Of the soldier,
being established by law, remained the
same.
Then If the theory in my first PROPOSE
tlon be the correct one, that the value Of
each unit of money depends upon the
number of units In circulation; by es-
tablishing the soldiers wages at $13 per
month when there was certain number
Of money units in circulation and then
increasing the number Of money units a
certain per cent we thereby reduced the
purchasing power of the soldiers wages
in the same ratio. Yet "the soldier was
not wronged In his pay" according to
Mr.. Higgins.
During the latter part of the war,
however, the soldiers pay was increased
to $16 per month In greenbacks. With
this one months wages he could pur-
chase $16 in government bonds, while
the government paid Shylock, under the
operation of the exception clause, the in
terest on his bonds In gold, and for SIC
in gold during the month of July, 1864,
he could purchase $436O In government
bonds. Now the question arises, how
much did the government actually pay
the soldier, and how much Is still due
him? Will Mr.. Higgins please answer
this question? "Oh, no." says Mr.. Hig-
gins, "the soldier has not been wronged
in his pay" The soldier riSked his life
and braved the terrors Of the battle field
that he might bequeath to his little ones
the inheritance of liberty, while Shy
lock risked his credit Tin horny that he
might profit by the misfortune Of his
government. But Shylock was not salts
fed with the exception clause, whereby
he was paid his interest in gold, In ad-
vance, and furnished cheap and depre-
Ciated currency to purchase bonds with,
deprecated from 3S to so per cent, but

March, 1859. Gold and silver at that
time bore a premium Of 81 per cent.
above greenbacks. Thus this act
added 81 cents, the differ
ence between coin and greenbacks
to every dollar Of bonds, amounting In
the aggregate to between seven and
eight hundred million dollars. Yet Mr..

THE EXCEPTION CLAUSE.
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.

10 Cne Edlb0f OF THE ADVOCATE
In the issue Of The ADVOCATE of April
6, in an article entitled, "Let us Know
the TRUTH" you let Mr.. Higgins down
very easy and nicely, but you were more
charitable towards him, perhaps, than
was necessary. There is one point, how
ever, that wish to call attention to, one
which, I belleve,iS generally misunder-
stood. The point l have reference to is
with relation to the exception clause on
the greenback dollar. But first / wish
to lay down a proposition or two. First
The principle of money Is that the
value of each unit Of money depends
upon the number of units of money In
circulation, and Is not influenced IN any
way by the character Of the material
upon which the money function may be
stamped. Second That II the excep-
tiOn clause had not been placed upon the
greenback it never would have depre-
cisted below the gold or silver dollar.
Third-That the soldier is justly en-
titled to remuneration, the difference be-
tween the purchasing power Of the
money unit at the time Of the establish
ing Of his wages by law, and the pur-
chasing power Of the money unit of
which and at the time he received the
same. Now we are willing to concede
that the exception clause had the same
effect upon the producer that 1t had upon
the soldier. But the initiation of the cur
rency had an entirely different effect
upon the interest Of the soldier from that
Of the producer as will appear further on.
Mr.. Higgins says:
The soldier was not wronged in his pay.
but il there was a wrong, it was to the
whole people alike, by forced purchase of
gold, and anyone who sold wheat during
the war is just as much entitled to be re-
imbursed 80 cents per bushel for his crop
during those years as the soldier is to have
his pay increased to an equality with gold.
Now let US see whether the soldier
was not wronged In his pay. Abraham
Lincoln once said:
If government contract debt with
certain amount of money in circulation,
and then contract the money volume be-
fore the debt is paid, it is the most heinous
crime government could commit against
people.
If that be true, it Is equally true that
If a government, by law, establish the
amount Of wages that its soldiers shall
receive, when there Is a certain amount
Of money In circulation, and then in
fate the money volume without q cor
responding increase of wages, 1t is equally
as f1agrant as In the case above quoted.
The imitation of the currency did not
have the same effect upon the producers
that IL did upon the soldier, for the
simple reason that when the currency

While the reform movement was In it's

the present generation of the truth COM
Ing to the front with such rapidlty, when
Willltts, PETER, Mrs. Lease and all Of our
congressional delegation, excepting, pos
slbly, Davis, were at war with the prlnci
Piles they now embrace, a modest chris
tian lawyer, of Kansas City, Kansas,
formerly of Topeka, year in and year
out, increasingly warned the people Of
the approaching danger. To him,
twenty years ago, was our present situa-
tion as apparent as il Is to-day. His
heart was 90 full of this conviction, that
at great personal sacrifice he repeatedly
canvassed the state to SOW the good seed
broadcast and leave to Providence the re-
suit.
The gentleman to whom I refer IL
Judge H. P. Vrooman, one OF the most
brilliant orators we have to-day in this
state, full as it is of eloquent men. He Is
the last man In the state to put forth any
effort for personal advancement, but we
owe him vast debt, and we have 1t In
our power now to pay the first install
ment, and at the same time do ourselves
an immense service.
Who not nominate him for congress-
msn-atlargeP No other man among the
many able men Of this state could serve
us more Credit&bly and faithfully. II he
will accept the nomination no other man
lS surer OF election.
Knowing Judge Vrooman as have for
nearly all Of that period Of twenty years,
and perSistently fighting him at every
step, most Of the time, and knowing him
to be spotleSS In character, grand In in
tellect, bold, fearless and unconquersble
In the advocacy Of truth, l nominate
him for this high Office, and urge my
brother farmers throughout the state to
fall in line.
Had Judge Vrooman been willing to
sacrifice principle for personal ends and
joining In to "whoop up" the Republican
party, with his eminent ability, winning
manners and m&tchless eloquence, he
might have had any Office in the gift of
this state. But his morals were too pure for
any such purposes; and now that the
people are with him In sentiment and
effort, 1t is not right, It is not just that
this excellent gentleman should now be
sacrificed in the house Of his friends for
somebody In sWaddling clothes. It would
be shame and a villainy not to reward
Judge Vroomsn now that we have the
chance. Respectfully,

ticket IN the past, then he approves all
that the Republican party has done, In
cluding all the legislation from the date
Of placing the exception clause upon the

thing, even the infamous "Fundlng act

seven million dollars of the peoples cur
renCy was contracted, taken up and de-
stroyed, and funded into untaxed inter
est bearing bonds, between the date Of
It's passage and the year 1877. Mr. Hlg-
gins further says shat he was deSirous
to have let the Legislative acts Of the

misgiVlng that the Legislative acts Of the

all. @W

Ing facts, seeing the result, will doubt
for a moment that 1t was pEe-Concelved

ance with the money power, who was In

into interest bearing bonds, and at the
same time contract the currency and
thereby double and treble the purchas-
Ing power Of money and all money secur-
tiles, and In the same ratio reduce the
price of property, labor and the product
Of all labor. Ts 1t then any wonder that
the shylock hailed with joy and delight
the passage Of the funding act In 1866,

tens Of thousands Of the best and most

out Of employment, and cut down wages

Yet in the face Of all these glaring
facts, In the face Of the political history
Of the past thirty years, Mr.. Higgins has
no "regret" for being q Republican.
Then as for Mr.. Higgins, the Republican
party has been right; the legislation Of
