From this fact arises the statement,
which ls in part correct, that the dearsr
metal hides away or is exported, while
the cheaper metal stays at home.
The cheaper metal stays at home
solely because it is just as good, as
sound, as valuable, for money 40 tho
other. The dearer metal is more liable
to export simply because it is worth.

MAKE FOREIGNERS PAY THE PROFIT.
II gold is at a premium Of 25 per cant.
it goes abroad because it brings 125
cents worth of property in exchange
from the foreign countries for every 100
cents in gold money exported. Here ia
profit Of 25 per cent. on gold exported.
1 have no objections. Let our people
make oil the profit they can out Of for
eign countries on gold or any other COM
Godities.
What object to is that the gold and
bullion dealers seek to make that % por
cent. profit out of our own people multi
piled by as many millions as their credits
and the credit holders generally hold
against us, and at the same time making
nothing out Of the foreigner. They even
divide with him the millions they make
and gather from US in the operation.
Indeed, the foreign money dealers are in
the scheme.
By forcing up or spprecisting ell
money in our country to the gold stand
ard, which is their purpose, they have
already increased the power Of money,
even by the admissions Of some Of their
own advocates, 25 per cent, and will sp-
preciste it 25 to so per cent. more il they
should carry their policy through this
congress and fssten upon US the gold
standard.
Il is estimated that the creditors Ia
Europe and America hold against our
people in various forms Of indebtedness

This is injustice, this is dishonest, this il
robbery under the form Of law, and /
shall stand against them and plead with
my people, in and out of congress, to
fight them by every means honorable
and creditsble to patriots, and when
once aroused, as now seems the fair
promise they shall be, our country shall
never surrender to the unjust tributary
demands Of the European gold power.

MR.. OOFFBEN ON MONEY.

Extracts From Speech Delivered in the
House Of Representatives August Is,
1893.
Now, Mr. Speaker, propose to point
out some features Of the question that
are too often left obscure.
You can not use any other piece OF
money for any other general purpose
without first destroying it's monetary
quality. In other words, to use it as a
commodity and manufacture it into any
thing valuable as an article Of merchsn-
disc, itCeases to be money.
Money is not commodity or merchsn-
disc, and should not be so treated; ex-
cept it might be guarded possibly as a
form Of stored commodity.
A gold eagle ceases to be money when
it is manufactured into q finger ring or
into other useful article.
A silver dollar ceases to be dollar
when it is useful as a spoon or watch
chain.
Again, the money Of one nation ceases
to be money when it is passed over to
another without special law legalizing
the coin or other money in that other
country, which is rarely done.
The importing nation receives the
coins Of any other as commodity, not af
money, and estimate their weight and
quality, and hence their value within
and for their own nation, as they would
the weight and value OF wheat, wool,
coal, cotton, or any other commodity.
Gold and silver, then, let US under
stand, when monetized and coined, are
in the form and force Of money within
the nation coming there only, and is en-
tireIy matter Of local concern within
that nation alone, not for the market
place as commodity but for use in the
market and elsewhere as q measure OF
values OF all other things and for the
legal settlement Of debt.
But gold and silver, let me state again,
whether coined or not, when exported tC
any other nation at once cease to be
money and at once become property tC
be bought and sold and valued in thC
money Of the receiving nation as any
other commodity.
Hence we affirm that there is no such
thlng,properly speaking, as money Of the
world.
No nation has power or authority to
coin such money or to enforce it il il
were attempted, and no nation has beer
80 foolish as to attempt it.
The advocates of a gold standard whC
talk sonorously Of the "money Of thu
world" are liable therefore to deceivl
others if they be not themselves de
ceived by such term.
Again, the word parity should not bC
used in reference to the value of things
used for different and dissimilsr pur.
poses.
The parity between silver and gold
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-10-25

useQ IN legRl GenoeE COINS, bnHG l6' Hs
money, is one thing.
The party between them used as com
modities is another and entirely differ
ent thing.
Hence, keeping this distinction clearly
in mind when We are talking Of the
parity between silver and gold in rela-
tion to coinage, it must apply to their
value as money, not property.
Now, | assert that the only way to So
cure the parity between the metals fol
use in legal tender money is to coin
them by law on a fixed ratio, and they
can not be otherwise when so coined,
than at parity on that ratio. But by
the use Of these metals outside Of money
that is, as commodity, they are subject
to fluctuations as all other commodities
aud variations in the demand may Csusl
variation in the ratio every twenty
four hours.
II, however, it is desired to secure 9
parity between the money metals 81
money, and at the same tune as com
modities, there is only one way possible
in which it can be done, and that is BY
free and unlimited coinage at the mints
This will do it, and this only, for thi
reason: There is a universal or bound
less demand for money in any great pR
tion like ours, and from this boundles
demand the commodity value Of silve
must and will rise at once to its ooinsg
value at the mints, saving only the trivia
expense of transportation to the mints
il all the supply offered is freely coine'
at fixed ratio Of 16 to l, as in thi
country, or 151S to l, as in Europe.
I trust / have made this sufficient,
clear to all.
Free coinage Of the two great and re
liable money metals at q fixed ratio b
law into legal tender dollars at ono
brings silver up to the value Of that do
lar and all other legal tender dollar
without regard to the material of whic
they are composed.
This, let me repeat again, arises surel
from the fact that while the supply
limited to the product Of the mines
added to the unimportRnt item OF un
coined silver bullion that may be offered
the demand will be unlimited and uni
vsrsRl throughout the nation, as is a
ways the demand for money il the mint
are opened freely to the coinage Q
silver.
There are no 65 cent legal tender do
lars. The term is a misnomer and mil
leading, and ] fear often used for th
purpose Of deceiving.
You can not buy legal tender HilVe
dollars of any Of these gentlemen VIII
seem to be so wroth against silver at 6
csnts, nor IS cents, nor 95 cents, nor an
other price below 100 cents on th
dollar.
They are even now, in the extrem
scarcity Of money in circulation, psyin
a premium, in certified checks on tn
strongest banks in New York, for silve
dollars, that they may obtain what the
try to make the people believe nobOd
wants.
Legal tender silver dollars, then, @
we'll as legal tender gold dollars 81

THE TYPHUs IN NEW YORK.
Precautions Being Taken to Prevent Its
Spread.

Precautions Being Taken to Prevent It's
Spread.
NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-There are now twenty
four patients in the tents on the lawn at
Bellevue Hospital who are thus isolated,
because it is believed they may develop
typhus fever. No other cases Of typhus had
developed among these suspects up to 10 o'clock
this morning. Cases may develop at any time,
however, and two men are detailed on guard
about the grounds with orders to prevent any
one approaching the tents. These patients are
under the charge Of DR.. George F. Blake, one
practically under quarantine himself
Furthermore, tine authorities at Bellevue
Hospital have taken other precautions to pre-
vent spread OF the disease. The patients in
wards 2, 6, II. % and 20, where typhus cases
have developed have been quarantined and no
visitors are permitted to enter the wards. The
rumor that the hospital itself had been placed
in quarantine by the health department is with
out any foundation.
DIR. Joseph ID. BRYANT said today: 'There is
no necessity for resorting to an extreme meas
ure Of that kind. The hospital is in good con-
dltion and we can receive all patients that
apply Vthout using any OF these quarantined
wards. Every precaution is taken and as soon
as any patient develops symptoms of the dis
ease he is removed to the tents. where still
closer watch is kept
There is great excitement over the fact that
typhus fever case was found this morning in
tenement containing twenty-five families at
No. 1873 East 9Th street. George Heimert,
forty-six years old, is the patient He was
taken to North Brother Island. Heimert was a
patient in the alcoholic ward Mt Bellevue Hos
pital, and while there mingled with men who
afterward developed typhus.
