Do you quite understand the
magnitude of this offer =? We
have made you great offers be-
fore, offers that for pluck and
nerve never had their equal or
peer in commercial history.
But this one is a total eclipser.
Never have we done anything
half so great, half SO grand, nor
have we offered you what we are
now doing at the beginning of
the season.
Do you appreciate the magni-
tude of this offer?
Two whole windows, the big
gest windows in San Francisco.
There's an exhibit in these
windows of the finest, the clev-
crest tailor-made Suits and Over
coats, all brand new styles, right
in line with the swellest, up to
date, and they're right before
your gaze, under the glare of
natures own light, without any
artifce, but the plain naked fact
and the big figure $3.50 which

From Brokers' Point Of View.

Chicago Dispatch to o. H. Faught.)
The wheat market opened higher Monday
and showed decided strength, selling I'D to
$3.50 for May and July options. Then came
great deal of professional selling by
Champlin, Logan, Baldwin-Farnum AMI
others. which. together with reported large
Northwestern receipts, big worlds ship
ments and tagging cables, brought about a
reaction to Saturdays prices. The wheat
centers to great extent around Armours $
operations His purchases last week are
put at 100000 bu, and as he was a seller
to-day from 66c down to CSC, it was bound
to affect the market favorably for the
bears, who jumped at the chance of follow
ing such leader. But as Armour COM
menced buying again heavily at Csc, Ii Is
thought ne is employing his old tactics of
driving trailers out. 1t is we'll known
that ne never enjoys company in his specu-
lations, and usually succeeds in shaking
them out. The advance promised to be too
rapid, and a check seemed necessary The
market. while closing lower. was firm, and
there are plenty of buyers whose confidence
in the strength of the market is based on
good judgment. They point to the fact that
last year wheat only commenced to go up
cables are higher, much of the Argentine
crop Is unfit TO snip and an increased
amount Of wheat is being taken for ship
ment
Corn-There was heavy selling corn by St
Louis and New York. The market was in
sympathy with wheat. and closed at de-
cline from Saturdays prices.
Oats-Interest in the oats market was lost
through excitement in wheat, and the mar
ket was dull and featureless.
Proyisions-The provision market opened
eager TO buy as outsiders. All offerings
were well absorbed and buying Of pork
around si1 has taken up most of the float
ing stuff. The close was strong and higher
for the entire list.

MONEY AND COIN.
MT. Rappaport Discusses n Recent As
sertion of Judge Martindale's.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Last Sunday. at the meeting OF the
Progress Club, Mr.. Z. Il. Martindale, to
my astonishment, disputed my assertion
that gold is money regardless of the gov
ernment stamp. He said that never in
the history of the world had anything
passed as money that did not have the
stamp Of some government or authority
on 1t. / said to myself that If men OF
the intellect OF Mr.. Martindale are unable
to distinguish between money and coin 1t
must really be very difficult to make the
distinction. / see now that II requires
great power of abstraction, and that only
few can get away from the idea that money
must necessarily be in the form OF coin
because they never saw IL in any other
form and always associated the two to-
gether in their mind. And yet this dis
tinction must be made If one wishes TO
understand the matter clearly, because it
is the absence OF the ability to make this
distinction which causes a power TO be
ascribed to government which 1t has not.
Even If 1t were true, as Mr.. Martindale
said, that never in the history Of the world
had anything passed as money that did not
have the stamp Of some government or au-
thority on 1t, 1t would not prove that moth
ing can De money without Sucn stamp. But
it is not true. The cattle which were used
in ancient times as money, when every
one had use for cattle. had no government
stamp, nor had the Indian wampum- But
really. II becomes to-day quite trivial 10
state what things have been used as money
Even If gold had not been used as money
in the form OF gold dust, or in the shape
of bullion, even IL gold had not, in fact.
been money before il was ever coined,
even If not to-day in international transac-
tons or in very large transactions. gold
was used in the shape OF bullion, yet for
the purpose OF scientific investigation IL
would become necessary to distinguish be-
tween the social function of commodity
and the outward form in which IL performs
this function. The fact that gold performs
fact that for the purpose OF facilitating it's
use IL Is coined is another thing. The
creation OF money is social evolutionary
process; the coming OF Ii Is not necessarily,
but usually, the action of government.
Gold has become the money o. the world,
not by the action OF any government nor
by the action OF number Of governments,
but by the action OF human society. IL
has, by the silent process OF evolution, on
account OF It's natural qualities, become the
general medium OF exchange and the meas
that governments coin IL. III gold were not
money governments would not coin Ii. No
government has power TO legislate effect
lively against social or natural laws-that
OF the United States not excepted. History
reports that Xerxes. when he wanted TO
cross the stormy Hellespont. threw chains
into the sea 10 manacle IL, but history does
not report that he succeeded. The world
