The Gold Standard.

The gold standard is of no advantage
to any except those who own bonds, those
having fixed incomes; it appreciates the
purchasing power of a dollar and neces-
sarially makes the debtor perform twice
as much labor, or give twice as much in
commodities to pay his debts as he would
if both gold and silver were used as
money.

New York. Feb. 5.-Bradstreet's saw,

New York. Feb. 5.-Bradstreet's SAYS:
Severely cold weather accompanied by
high winds and heavy snow, has been
feature exercising considerable influence
upon the movement and distribution of
staple goods this week. The northern and
eastern states appear 10 have felt the ef
fects of the storm most severely, In spite
Of this interruption of business, a satisfac-
tory trade for the season is reported in
most lines, with special activity reported
in the iron and steel trades and kindred
lines. In the east the distribution of dry
goods and wool has been checked. and the
movement of produce greatly interfered
with, but the tone of the cotton goods situ-
alton is if anything, improved. In the
middle states and in the central west the
movement of Tron into consumption is still
very large, but nervousness as TO possible
over-production affects that market. Steel
IS slightly lower al the east, but firmly
held at Chicago, which also reports adj
vances iu iron bars, wires and nails. West
ern mills Will not agree to deliver steel rails,
hillets, or rods on new orders before July
!. Southern buyers are coming into st.
Louis more numerously than usual at this
date and the distribution of dry goods,
boots and shoes and drugs is active. In
the northeast better trade is reported, and
cold weather has helped the distribution OF
seasonable goods. At the south trade is
reported improved at several important
cities, and the total of January business
is said to be above the average. Alaskan
business on the Pacific coast is still very
active. but export trade in cereals Is
small. Rain Is needed in California or
crops will be considerably shortened.
SteaGiness in prices has been a feature of
the week, the only decreases noted being
in wheat, corn, and flour on a speculative
action, and in lead, while the prices of
oats, pork. beef and coffee are higher.
r. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly re-
view of trade, say:
Actual payments through clearing
houses in January made a remarkable
showing. being much larger than in any
previous month 1868 per cent. larger than
the same month last year and IL per cent
larger than in 1892. The failures In jan
uary were smaller than in any previous
year of which there is record, and were
probably smaller than in any other jan
uary since 1881. The statement by branches
Of business shows a surprising gain In
most departments of manufacture and
trade. Meanwhile the money market is
as confident as ever; gold does not come
from Europe in large amount only be-
cause bankers find it worth while to lend
American money abroad and the CONNER
cial balances are heavily in favor of the
United States as heretofore.

GAGE ON PAPER MONEY.
Secretary Tells of the Faults ol Legal
Tender Notes.


Baltimore, Md, Feb. 1.-Two cabinet
officers We're among the speakers at
the annual banquet of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association held
here Thursday night. Secretary Gage,
OF the treasury. was the chic speaker,
but Postmaster-General Gary Mas also
on the list, as were Congressm an Ding
ley, Congressman Allen, Of Mississippi,
and United States Senator Wellington.
Secretary Gage spoke to the toast RE
iation of Business to Government
Finances" He said, in part:
1T IS the just complaint against govern
ment issue OF paper money that, though
ooedient TO the legislative will, it is never
theless not in harmony with higher eco
nomic law. which hlesses the obedient and
Furnishes all violation. whether the viola
ton be willful or through ignorance. A
true credit instrume truthfully evidence
ing that thing of value has passed-yet
stu exists In fact-even If transformed in
shape and substance. such an instrument
is clothed with the quality of legitimacy.
If the fact be otherwise IL the value passed
mas been consumed, destroyed or lost, the
credit instrument itself becomes a CONNER
clal interIoper, misleading token, nor can
kings, emperOrs or senate change the fact.
Il can only point out the fact that our
own legal tender notes, dear as they are to
the pdNIlollC neaft, SefNiCeaDle as tney
were in the great crisis, are yet out of ac-
cord with the true economic laws. The
value for which they We're originally issued
was Immediately consumed or destroyed
As now reissued theS are evidences of a
value already consumed by the isSuer or of
services already past These notes operat-
ing in the commercial field thus differen-
tiated from the true credit instruments
which commerce can create, and If left
at reasonable liberty will itself create,
how xrrnp sTaft W.
cannot distinctively point it out. In my
opinion it IS here that business receives an
injury, general and wide-reaching,'t through
its forced relations TO government paper

Washington, Feb. 5.-When the cable
as to the prospective quarantine of
American horses was shown to Chair
man Hit, of the house foreign affairs
committee, he said this move was a
Fart of the general movement toward
exclusion shown by the recent action
against American fruit. His colleague
on the foreign affairs committee, Mr..
Adams tPa.) said the dispatch sug-
gested that it was time to discover a
bacillus in German wines, and ii would
be desirable also to determine as to the
sanitary character of the process of
making German sugar sent TO the
United States. Mr.. Cousins Qa.), an
other member OF the foreign affairs
committee, said: Our state depart
ment should give distinct notice that if
there is any desire to stop trade with
us this should be done in a straightfor-
ward way, and not by indirectly attack
ing our products on sanitary grounds. -
The growth in the shipment of Amer
lean horses to Europe in the past -four
years has been enormous. These ship
ments in 1897 aggregated in value 81.
769, 265, as against Sis. 607 in 1898. The
value of those sent to Germany in 1897
was Ss22,2 $50, as compared with $79,95C
in 1898.

Boston, Feb. 3.-As the news begins
to come in from the marine observa-

cut off it becomes certain that the loss
Of life and damage to shipping is worse
than has ever been caused by any
storm on the New England coast. 1t is
already known that 43 lives have been
lost in Massachusetts bay, while from
the long list of vessels wrecked under
circumstances that made the saving OF
life an impossibility it is probable that
the number of deaths will reach 100. 1t
is estimated that the loss to property in
New England will reach fully S2,000,000.
Wreckage is strewn up and down the
coast from Cape Ann to Cape Cod.
