The SisFie GOLD Scheoe.

The whole theory upon which the
single gold standard is based is that
there shall be general confidence"
among all Of the people who have to
use money thatthe persons who have
control Of the stock Of money shall
deal fairly. OF course il would not
be human to expect persons having
such an advantage not to use 1t to
their own profit. And Of course
they can only derive personal profit
from it by the establishment OF
general confidence. 1t is not ne
cessary to use epithets in character
izing these men Of greed. The men
engaged in it, that i. the great bank
ers OF the world, are respectable
people. They are perhaps as high
types OF the average citizen as one
finds in active business relations.
They arc neither better nor worse
than most business men, because
the whole fabric Of trade and COM
merce necessarily rests upon per-
suading customers that they may
be confident" that they will get
value received for all they spend.
Still, this whole question Of "confi-
dence" is one which involves, OF
must soon involve, the moral senti-
ment Of The People Of the world i
Iour civilization is to advance. II
would be going too far to say thai

world-indeed they have that now
and then TO secure laws by which
they can issue paper to the extent
of from three to twenty-five dollars
for every dollar they have in their
business. Will anybody dispute
this proposition, and, accepting it
as the general understanding OF the
banking question AZ it has been
practiced in the past and is now
urged, surely no banker or bis
friends should take offenss when
people describe such Q scheme OF
Iselishness as the most gigantic
confidence" game the world ever
knew. Let us be entirely fair in
treating this question. The own
,ers Of the worlds gold supply tell
us that the prosperity Of The Pso-
pie depends upon 'sound" money,
"a statement which no one will con-
,,trover. Then they say that
sound money" can only b pro-
vided by gaining the "con6drnce"
Of The People to q scheme that, Il il
occurred in the lower wslks OF lhe,
would be described properly a. dis
honest. They say We must hava
confidence" that the rag monay
they propose to circulate il sound
money, and, taking advantage Of
the necessity Of daily commerce.
they are smart enough to know that
as business requires some medium
oi exchange, and ss no other au-
thority exists for issuing what they
call "money," the business Of the
world will accept their shin plaster
notes, if there is confidence" thst
the men behind the shin plasters
are not disposed to be common
cheats, as the ordinary fakir who
relies upon the "confidencs" OF
The People in his scheme would b
classed by public opinion without
ANY question. n.-Evansville Courier.

the CAUSES OF DISEASE.

At the Academy Of Medicine in
New York there has been an i'm
portant session held by the most
distinguished bacteriologists.
Harper's Weekly refers to this
meeting and in the same article dis
courses upon the epidemic Of ty-
phoid fever from which Evansville,
Ind, has just recovered in the FOL
lowing manner: !.
Ignorance Of the complexities OF
a subject might be excused, but
wilIful disregard of the commonest
laws Of health is criminal. Within
the last month typhoid fever was
rife in Evansville, Ind. a city with
over 80, 600 inhabitants. The dis
ease began to show itself in Janu-
ary, February, March, but not IN
any marked way. There were nine
deaths Of typhoid in the three
months. In April there were l16
cases, with % deaths. Ia May, 81
deaths. The reason was simple.
The water used for drinking pur-
poses was taken at point on the
Ohio river near the outlet OF the
main sewers.
How instantly the cause OF the
infection. an abundance Of typhoid
al bacilla, could be removed was
shown by the effects OF certain
lucky rain-storms. The downpoul
flushed the sewers, made some
slight rise in the Ohio in June, and
then the germs Of death were carried
beyond the intake OF the watel
pipes. From 81 cases Of typhoid il
the first week in June just before
the rains, after them there were A.
cases.
The members Of the health boare
lof Evansville possibly congratulate
themselves on having got nd o
their peculiar contagion. Ii the.
lindulged in any expressions Q
lthankfulness, they were perhap
unwittingly selfish, for what the.
Ibid was only to pass on the typhoi
bacilli to other places Of habitatic
west or south of them in Illinois 9
Kentucky. 1t is this 'shoving on
Of your own impurities on. some
body else which is the commones
and wickedest Of the so-called by
gienic processes Of to-day.
e Since the great majority OF tn
zymotic diseases are due to the Wa
ter we drink, it is in the directlo
of municipal sources Of water tn;
the attention Of these bacteriologis'
was mainly directed.
