For The Commonwealth,
In my previous papers attempted to
connect the inception Of the great
crime Of 1873 with that other great
crime of 1893 and to show by the va
rious links in the chain Of evidence
that the policy Of Nh. Cleveland in fore
ing the unconditional repeal Of the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman law
was but continuation Of the policy Of
contraction, begun in the demnnetiza-
tion Of silver in 1873 am not apprised
the view your readers take Of the va
rious facts have cited, but to my mind
they seem to form an unbroken chain,
which requires but the establishment
Of motive and the eliminating effort
toward the accomplishment Of a precon-
ceived design, to make complete proof
Of the existence Of arconsplracy against
the money Of the people in the interest
Of the capitalists Of the world
To make clear the motive renders 1t
essential that we should stop here to
consider the nature Of money-its uses
and functions. What constitutes what
We call value in money? Is it any
inherent, self-ezisting virtue in The
money itselfq Let us get at the facts
in this matter through a hypothetical
case or two which will, If my ability
but equal my inclination make clear
the point / am trying to present:
Suppose a person to have fifty dollars,
ana the sum is just sufficient to buy
him say, two suits Of clothes Or enough
provisions to feed him for three months.
The value Of that money to the holder
Of It is expressed then, in terms Of
commodities as being two suits Of
clothes, Of sufficient food for the three
months or a like equivalent in some
other form Of commodity. Suppose,
again. that a time comes when the
ame amount Of money win buy four
suits of clothes Of a like quality as the
two first mentioned, or sufficient pro
visions 70 last him siz months. Can It
De truly asserted that the fifty dollars
which will buy your four suits Of
clothes, or six months provisions Is Of
10 more value than the fifty dollars
which win buy but two suits Of clothes
of Ike quality o. three months provis-
ionsl That IS precisely what the
gold standard men ask us to believe

PORTLAND. May "a.
Trading has been rather light the Epast week
for food products, with very little change in fig
ures. Flour is exceedingly dull and the market
Is irregular and unsettled owing to the wide
fluctuations in Wheat; some of the mills have
further advanced prices ,lwhile others continue
TO sell at old figures. At Chicago to-day the
selling by longs. together with weaker cables
and fine crop prospects. caused another break
in Wheat; July is 11ac lower and Sept declined

visions showed declines OF 271s for Pork and
zoe for Lard. Molasses is frpi and tending
upward. Coffees less firm but unchanged. Su-

eights-tonnage for lumber from Gulf ports

though shippers are prepared to meet some ad-
vance in rates, vessels are rather difficult to
secure. To Montevideo and Buenos Ayres Sl4

East and Provinces $40 is the rate to Buenos
Ayres. There continues good inquiry for ton.
mage to Brazilian and other South American
ports. Tonnage is also wanted in the West In
