How eggs are used.--Probably very
few people are aware of the fact thai
. large proportion Of the eggs used in
this country go into the manufacture o
some article other than food. The
calico print works used owe 100000 O(
dozen eggs each year. Photographic
establishments use millions of dozens
and wine CHARTERS call for over 10000
600 dozen. The demand from these
sources increases faster than the table
demand. They are used by book bind
ers, kid glove manufacturers and fol
finishing fine leather. To those sources
OF demand is due the high price o
eggs, which is very uniformly main
tained.-American Cultivator.

Silver Has Not Fallen.

Silver, Notwithstanding its degrade
ton by law and it's mistreatment by the
secretaries of the treasury, has still
maintained it's old relation to property
and commodities. Silver bullion has
not fallen in relation to anything else
but gold. Gold, on the contrary, has
lost its former relation to all other
things. This is shown by the following
practical illustrations: The silver In a
silver dollar in 1873 was worth as much
as the gold in a gold dollar, and each
would have exchanged for like num-
Der of products. This was because
they were both standard legal-tender
money, and each had equal privileges
at the mint Now the silver in silver
dollar will exchange for as much wheat
or anything else but gold as it would in
1873, but the gold in gold dollar will
exchange for twice as much Of every
thing as it then would. It must be,
therefore, that gold has risen in its rela-
ton to all other things, and silver has
not fallen-C Columbus Ohio Press.

ratio of actual and relativ, value will be
re-established on a firmer foundation than
ever. I know that the worlds stock of
precious metals is none too large, and l
see no reason to apprehend that it will
ever become SO. Mankind will be fortu-
nate, indeed, if the annual production of
gold and silver coin shall keep pace with
the annual increase of population, COM
merce and industry. According to my
view Of the subject the conspiracy which
seems to have been formed here and in
Europe to destroy by legislation and 9TH
erwise from three sevenths to one-half of
the metallic money of the world is the
most gigantic crime of this or any other
age. The consummation of such a scheme
would ultimately entail more misery upon
the human race than all the wars, pesti-
lence and famine that have ever occurred
in the history of the world. The absolute
and instantaneous destruction of half the
movable property of the world, including
horses, ships, railroads and all other ap-
pliances for carrying commerce, while. it
would be felt more sensibly at the mo-
meIt, would not produce anything like
the prolonged distress and disorganization
OF society that must inevitably result
from the permanent humiliation of one
half of the metallic money of the world.

MRusiness Men,

In common with millions of our fell
low citizens, we contend that when the
money question is considered from a
business standpoint land that is the
standpoint from which it should be con-
sidered) every business should have
fair play and an impartial hearing, and
that no few special callings should ar
rogate to themselves the right to be
considered the only business worth
figuring in the premises, and the only
ones which have within them intelli-
gence enough to say how our monetary
systems shall be formed or of what our
money shall consist. The gold handler
and those who agree with him may de-
mand gold exclusively, but other men
engaged in different pursuits, whose
business is crippled by adhering to the
gold standard, have just as much right
and better reason for demanding a
broader and less monopolistic system,
one which will give them better
showing, and, in their opinion, the
country more prosperity. Wilmington

Free Coinage for Foreigners.

Free Coinage for Foreigners.
An act approved Jan. 20, 1874, and
still in force, says: "It shall be lawful
for coinage to be executed at the minis
of the United States, for any foreign
countries applying for the same, &C.
cording to the legally prescribed stand
ard and devices of such countries as
the Secretary of the Treasury may pre-
scribe, and the charge for the same
shall be equal to the expense thereof;
including labor, material and use of
machinery, to be fixed by the Director
Of the Mint, with the approval Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury. Provided
the manufacture Of such coin shall not
interfere with the required coinage Of
the United States
What we think of law which opens
the minis to the silver and gold Of all
other countries, while they are closed
against the silver of our own people, is
that the law of 1874 is in exact line
with the law of 1878; both are un-Amer-
lean and should be reversed. The minis
should be operated in the interests OF
the United States and not Of foreign
Countries Plain Dealer.

Mating on Britain.

Toward restoring an honest measure
of value we must do nothing until we
have the cooperation of Great Britain,
of a nation ruled by the creditor classes,
who have reaped undue profit from the
ever-appreciating standard from which
we have suffered; for has not this un-
lust measure of value obliged us to
pour into their laps two bushels OF
wheat and two pounds of cotton where
they were entitled to but one? Until
these creditor classes become gorged
with unearned gains, until they become
conscience-s stricken with defrauding
their debtors, we must submit to their
exactions, permit them to roughly
trample upon justice, equity and our
rights, and humbly accept at their
hands without one word Of protest a
measure of value that grows in length
from day to day, and which enables
them to subtly increase the burden of
all debts to their profit and our great
injury.-The American.

In 1878.

To undertake to do the business Of
the world OH single gold basis Of
measurement and equivalents means
loss, bankruptcy, poverty, suffering and
despair, debts will grow larger, and
taxes become more onerous. The farm
Ell will receive small prices for his
crops, labor will be forced down, down,
down, and there will be long series of
strikes. lockouts and a suspension Of
productions Those who own property
but owe for it in part, will see their
mortgage increasing in proportion as
gold acquires the purchasing power,
while the property itself will be shrink
inc in value. There will be no relief,
it must be kept in mind, for gold will
be the only recognized equivalent of
values, the stock of gold with it's power
will be constantly growing and the cir
Gle of wealth will be uniformly con-
tracting.-Chicago Tribune, Jan. l6,
