How an Enemy was Fooled.

The following graphic statement wifi b
read with intense interest: Il cannot describe
the numh creepy sensation that existed in my
arms. hands and legs. / had TO rub and beat
those parts until they were sore to overcome
In measure the dead feeling that had ken
possession OF them. In addition. / had .
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said Il
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there Is no
relief. Once it fastens upon q person, they
say, it continues its insidious progress until
1t reaches a vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. 1 had been doctoring
year and half steadily. but with no par
ticuiar benefit. when saw an advertisements
Of DR. Niles Restorative Neryine, procured Q
bottle and began using 1t. Marvellous as It
may SEEM but a few days had passed before
every bit Of that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
indication OF its return. I now feel as
well as I ever did. and have gained ten
pounds in weight, though l had run down
from 40 to 137. Four others have used DIR.

the treasury no man is forced to take
silver if he does not want it. If he
presents greenbacks or treasury notes
of 1890 at the treasury he can get gold
for them. This prevents gold from
going to premium, as no one will pay
premium for that which he can get
from the treasury without such pay
ment. TO maintain this policy the
the treasury is obliged to carry a stock
of gold called the "gold reserve" So
long as the country can maintain this
parity the silver coin of the country
will be worth its nominal or face val
ue; that is, silver dollar or paper
dollar will buy as much at home as a
good dollar. If this policy be aban-
doned the purchasing power of a sill
yer dollar in the United States will be
practically the same as that of silver
dollar in Mexico.-LOuis0ille Courier
Journal
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1894-10-11
COINS AND THEIR VALUES.

The silver dollar of Mexico contains
a little more silver than our dollar
though the difference is not important
Its purchasing power is officially pro
claimed every three months under a
law of congress, for the benefit of Gus.
toms officers. If our friend from Lou
isana should purchase dutiable mer-
chandise in Mexico. and pay 100 Next
can dollars for it, when he reached a
United States custom house it would
be necessary for the proper officer to
appraise that merchandise in the cur
rency of the United states. Surprising
that the invoice correctly showed the
market value of the goods in Mexican
currency, the customs officer would re-
fer to the "value of foreign COINS" for
the current quarter as prepared by the
director of the mint and sent out by
the secretary of the treasury. He
would find that the value thus given
to the Mexican dollar for the three
months beginning July l, 1894, and
ending September 80, is 49.7 cents.
His 500 Mexican invoice would there
fore be scaled to $49.70, and on that
sum he would pay duties. Gold does
not circulate in Mexico to any con-
siderable extent. Ii a resident of that
country has a gold obligation to meet,
he must pay heavy premium for the
gold, as was done in this country dur
ing the war and for a number of years
after its close. Mexico has free coin
age of silver.
Our correspondent asks series of
questions as to melting gold and silver
coins, and the value after they are
melted, all of which may be answered
together. A gold coin when melted is
worth as much as 1t was before it was
melted; that is, the bullion value of
gold and the value in coin are precisely
the same. A gold coin is worth what
ever the fine gold which it contains is
worth. A silver dollar, when melted,
is worth whatever the fine silver which
it contains will bring in the market,
and that is about half its value in the
coin. The precise value varies from
day to day with the price of silver bull
lion. Our own silver coins are worth
at home about twice their bullion val
ne. The silver coins of countries
where the silver standard prevails are
put down by the director of our mint
at their bullion value, as was shown in
the case of Mexico. AS to gold coins
it is wholly immaterial where they are
coined, they are worth their bullion
value all over the world. To answer a
specific question of our correspondent,
we may say that a 800 confederate gold
piece, if such existed, would be worth
precisely as much apart from its val
ue as a relic) as $50 gold piece of the
United States, provided it contained
the same quantity of gold. A silver
dollar of the confederacy, apart from
its value as a relic, would be worth the
same as silver coin of Mexico of like
weight.
The reason why the silver dollar of
the United States is worth about twice
its bullion value is to be found in the
policy to keep it at a parity at the ratio
of Is to l, or any other ratio that may
be adopted. This policy was formally
declared in the bullion purchase act OF
1890, but it had been pursued for many
years before that by the Uuited States
treasury. In making payments from
