The position of the sound money
men of the United States is very well
stated in the resolutions passed at g
meeting of New York bankers held the
latter part of July. A review of these
resolutions is given by Bradstreet's
financial and commercial journal The
bankers set forth that they had no
selfish interest in the establishment of
any particular standard of value or any
kind of currency. They were the Gus
todians of hundreds of millions of dol
lars of money belonging to the people
every dollar of which was equal to a gold
dollar, and with the bills payable large
ly exceeding the bills receivable, the
bankers believed it to be the part of
wisdom and the part of honor for the
United States to maintain the present
gold standard of value.
The resolutions went on TO say that
the best definition of coin money had
been furnished by the ablest bimetal-
list of the age, Henri Cernuschi, who
said that it was by the ordeal of fire
ti1t HAOhOJ may NC lIlSu, anu that the
coins, which, being melted down, retain
the entire value for which they were
a legal tender before they were melted
down, were good money, while those
which did not retain it were not good
money. Gold coins were the only ones
that sustain tlat test.
Currency, which was the basis of all
business transactions, should be based

Portland people will he glad to learn
that great fraud has been exposed, and
tn at conspiracy to food the mark ct
wi tn counterfeit goods has been nipped
in tho bud.
Probably no concern has had so p1any
rascally imitators to contend with as the
Munyon homeopathic Remedy Com
pany. Owing to the wonderful success
of these remedies, homeopathic
medicine companies have sprung up like
mushrooms, under various names, each
claiming to be better than the other.
Some Of these companies have deliberate
~ copied the ,Munyon advertisements
almost bodily, stealing whole pages from
Munyon's "Guide to Health,' with
device has been adopted to mislead and
deceive the public.
For more than year Professor Mum
yon has heen satisfied that hiss.goods wele
being juggled with in some fraudulent
manner. Suspected employees were dis
charged, and every measure taken to de-
tact tho culpfits, but it was not until
the last month that he was able to lay
his hands upon the chief oonspiratoFs.
He has now in prison one Of his former
employees and q confederate by the name
of G. H. Ferron, alias @. H. Fanola.
Ferron, it seems, has been working for
more than q year in conjunction with
dishonest employees OF the Munyon Com
pany. Goods, labels and material were
surreptitiously taken from the Munyon
Laboratory, pellets were bought by the
barrel, litte alcohol was poured upon
them and they were placed upon the
market as the genuine MInyon Rome
dies. fortunately Ghe Munyon Company
had taken pTecaution to have the metal
cap which covers their walls stamped
with the words munyon's Homoeo-
pathic Remedies" This the counter
letters could not initiate, on account oil
the great expense and the unwillingness
of honest mechanics to make counter
felt die. AS soon as the fraud was dis
covered the NIunyon Company dispatched
representatives throughout the country
and gathered in all the spurious goods,
sons who buy the remedies to soc that the
metal cap is marked Munyon's Homoe
opathic Remedies" Ferron declared
when arrested that he was leo into th1.
business by "cutter' in the West, WHIT
could not buy Munyon's goods direct,
and who gave him the money to buy
$1,000 worth of remedies, ostensihly to gt
10 Mexico. Seeing how rapidly thes,
goods sold, and finding some willing
allies in the employees of the Munyof
Company, he embarked in the bogu
business. tt seems that one dealer il
New York alone had bought over $500
of these imitation goods. Professor Nun
yon promises to probe this matter to
the bottom, and we sincerely hope thai
he will be able to bring all parties con
oerned in this despicable fraud to justice
