Mr. Adams Thinks It the Most Important Factor in Financial Conditions. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I notice Jn this morning's Journal an editorial entitled "What Free Silver Coinage Would Do." From my standpoint free silver coinage has nothing to do with the results shown as to the condition of Mexico In this editorial. Free silver coinage would neither drive out nor expel gold from this country: nor Is it true that Inferior money, as to Intrinsic value, drives out money of superior Intrinsic value. Thi3 Is done by a different process. The only way that the two classes of money can be made to circulate together Is that there Is no foreign demand which Is paramount for the superior money. This Is proven by the fact that since gold resumption In January, 1S79, gold, silver; and paper have continually circulated as currency, representing the same legal value, when. In point of fact, silver was of much less commercial value than gold and paper had no commercial value except as supported by redemption In gold. What then is the cause of these different classes of money being Interchangeable and circulating together without either the superior or the Inferior qualities being driven out of circulatlo'n? The reason Is obvious to every one who considers the situation. During this time the average production of gold from our mines was about thirty millions per annum, and the averatre balance of trade in our favor was over one hundred millions per annum. This was paid in gold or the equivalent of pold. Consequently there was no demand outside of our internal commerce for our told coin. And it was not worth more In our business transactions than either one of other kinds of money. In the use to which It could be put It was no better than either of the other kinds of money. Therefore they circulated harmoniously without discrimination in favor of any one. But let conditions be changed as they will be chanped under the Democratic free-trade tariff. The products of our mines will be decreased by the general depression of labor and the business condition, and the balance of trade will be turned larpely against us. This balance of trade can only be paid In gold, because gold is the only money accepted in all the exchanges of the world. This will create a demand for gold which will not drive but will draw gold out of the country. Gold in that contingency will no longer be used in our internal commerce, lut it will te withdrawn for foreign use. The only way that we can keep up our stock of gold and the value of our silver and paper currency Is by keepini; the balance of trade in our favor, so that gold will be flowing Into the country Instead of flowing: out of it. This can only be done by so protecting American laborers as to secure to them our home markets, for every dollar's worth of foreign goods within the lines of production where we can supply the demand which Is sold in this country deprives the American laborer of that much labor, curtails our wealth to that extent and sends the dollar across the water, which dollar to us and our business Is absolutely lost forever, and thereby deprives us of our gold, because gold alone can pay these debts. The passaere of the Wilson or Senate tariff bill will result In large importations of the productlons of foreign labor in which we have heretofore controlled and supplied the market, and will thus deprive our laborers of our own work and create a foreign obligation In the exchanges of the world, which can only be paid in our srold. Our whole flnanclal prosperity Is Involved In the simple question of our own people doing our own work or having our work done In foreign countries because they will do it cheaper. The Democratic policy is, as shown In these bills, to have our work done across the water, leave our own people Idle and send our gold out to pay for this foreign labor. The true American policy is to do everything at home which can be done here by our laborers and buy nothing of foreigners which we can buy of our own laborers or manufacturers. In fact, tha balance of trade is nothing more nor less than the balance between the exports of the products of our labor and the Imports of the products of foreign labor. Any policy which turns this balance against us deprives our laborers of the work which justly belongs to them and robs us of the wealth and money which justly belongs to our people and country. The country, or people who receive thf margins, become wealthy, while the pecple or country which pays the margins becomes poor. I am unalterably opposed to the free colnasre of silver until the sliver dollar, by some International commercial agreement, can be placed on an equal footing with the gold dollar In the exchanges of the world. My reasons for this are: First, that the free coinage of silver would give to the owner of sliver bullion at least 50 cents on the dollar more than silver is worth, which would sooner or later rob the honest business and laboring people of the country of that amount, not once, but every time that it parsed In lepal tender as a payment of a dollar. Such robberv as thi3 can not be sustained from any standpoint of honesty or fair dealing. Second, it would result in making this the dumping ground for all the free silver bullion of the world and our gold would be called for and taken out of the country to pay for thi3 silver bullion, because the purchasers would make exorbitant prolit3 without taking any risk whatever. Th s would create the condition of turning the balance of trade very largely against us and would absorb all of our gold in a very short time. This would result in a run cn the United States treasury for the redemption of greenbacks In cold, which would Impoverish the treasury and depreciate the high credit of our govenv.nent, because the government could not ral.e a sufficient supply of pold to redeem the legal tenders from day to day to supply this drain on our gold. Whenever this government becomes a bidder for gold In our own markets or in the markets of the world to supply such a drain as this the result will be that gold will ko to a premium and the credit of our government will no longer be above par, but will depreciate below par and we will be on a silver basis. r.

Married women leave their husband's cards with their own; that is to say, one is left for the gentleman of the house and one for the hostess. A dinner party demands a call within two weeks, but this is not required after a tea or a large reception. If a friend is ill it is proper to call in person and leave a card with kind inquiries written upon it. A very pretty English fashion is gradually rinding its way here. After a severe illness a lady may send by mail to an tne people who nave caJIed to inquire for her an engraved card, reading In this way: "Mrs. James Brown presents her compliments and her thanks for recent kind inquiries. ' This does away with the necessity of making visits when one is still in ill-health, and yet it is a recognition of the courtesies received. It Is polite, also, to l?ave a card of congratulation when a new baby appears in the family, but one is never expected to ask to see the mother. Visits of condolence are made a wuk after tht funeral. A card is left and no effort is made to see those who are in sorrow. A number of women have asked me If It Is proper to send Invitations to friends who are in mourning. Of course, one would not do this until alter a month had passed, but after that time it is quite proper, and certainly our friends who have had sorrow come to them do not like to think that they are forgotten. It Is no longer considered in good taste to hav? "H. S. V. IV In the corner, but. instead, are the Knglish words, "Tne favor of an answer is requested."

BULL FEVER SETS IN

Chicago Wheat Up Another Cent and Provisions Rising. Corn and Oats Were Firm Though Dull, Traders Working the Scare of Crop Damage to the Leader. CHICAGO. March 30. Wheat advanced lc per bushel to-day on a very modeate amount of buying. It closed with a net gain of fxe. There Is now no doubt of considerable Injury having been done to wheat in many sections. There was much testimony to that effect, and the result was a firm market. Corn and cats were fairly firm, but very dull. Provisions were strong and quite active in spots, with higher prices In the end. Although the cold had greatly moder ated, wheat opened firm and higher than it closed yesterday. The numerous dispatches which had come to hand be fore the session opened reporting fresh damage In more positive terms than before, were the cause of opening firmness, and continued to be the governing influence in the market during the remainder of the session, Liverpool responded to the decline here yesterday by sending quotations Ud lower. The receipts here were 23 cars. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 222 cars. Clearances from the seaboard were light, amounting from the four chief Atlantic ports to only 230,000 bushels. Business was fairly active, and the shorts, after hesitating about fifteen minutes, became free buyeiB. The general tone among the longs wa3 one of confident firmness, and the price had an upward tendency after the first quarter of an hour. May opened at 60ic, worked off to 59c sellers, and then gradually rose to GO'fec. It reacted to GOc. advanced to Clc, and held firmly around 60Q60?4c, with an apparent reluctance on the part of the sellers to part with much. It became firmer again, and half an hour from the close was up to Clc. The closing cables were weak. Berlin quoted a decline of 12 marks, and Paris a drop of 25 centimes in flour futures, and from 5 to 15 centimes in wheat. There were no reports of fresh cash business here or at New York. The market here was quoted at CO-C0-Tic at the close. Corn was dull but firm, and the firmness was in the main ascribed to the Improvement in wheat. T..-e opening price for May was 375c. It rose- by small steps to :iTic, and during the givater part of the session was alternately 21Y?fnWHe, buyers, and the same price sellers. The price rested at 37'. ic for May, which shows no change for the day, and SSUc for July, which is an improvement of tic Tradlnp in oats was very ll?ht. There was but little disposition to sell, and even less to buy. The cash market was lower. During- the entire session prices on all futures were higher. May started steady at 3i!ic, sold up to 31c, back to 31c, and closed at that price bid. There was a llrm feeling in the provision market after a preliminary decline. The packers appeared anxious for a break at the start, but when they had secured the decline there were brokers from commission houses prepared to take all that was offsred. Some ascribed the buylnvr to Armour chiefly, but the packers generally and through their own brokers were buyers later. The small stocks, estimated at 72,000 lrls of pork, 2.0ij tierces of lard and JO,OO),O0O lbs of ribs, was a factor, and probably tha principal motive behind the buying orders. Compared with last nlffht. May perk is 32.c higher. May lard .00c higher, and May ribs .10c higher. Kstimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 40 cars: com, 24D cars; oats. 170 cars; hogs, 15,000.

An excellent remedy for Inflamed eyes is to soak a little sassafras pith in boiling water; let It draw until the water becomes slimy, and then strain through thin muslin. Bathe the eye frequently with the liquid. You can procure dental floss from any first-class drug store. Keep It on hand. It is recommended by dentists for regular use after each meal. Nothing will so effectually remove any foreign substance from the teeth. To prevent the juice from pies running over, thrust little funnels of white paper into th cuts on top, through which the steam may escape and the juice boll up. and then run back Into the pan again when it stops cooking. It Is very vexing and annoying to have one's lips break out with cold sores, but It Is better to have them out than In. A drop of warm mutton met applied to the sores at night. ju?t before retiring, will soon cause them to disappear. Most cakes need a moderately hot and some even a cool oven. A good old test is to put a piece of thick paper into the oven. to shut the door and open It again after five minutes. If the paper is of a llr?ht brown color the oven L moderately hot, and if vellow the oven is cool. Inexperfenced housekeepers and experienced ones. too. for the matter of thit, trequentlv have quite u little trouble about having cake stick to the pans. Thl3 may be avoided In a very simple way. Putter the pans thoroughly, then dust them lightly with Hour, turn tottom3 upwards and rap lightly to remove any superfluous Hour, then put In the cake In the usual way. Many people do not wash cake pans, but rub them with a piece of brown paper until smooth, and then put them away, using them lor no otn er purpope. This and the dusting with flour after buttering will do away with the dim culty complained of. 4nll Ut Him Who Weevil Thinks." Chicago Dispatch.

CAUSE FOR REJOICING

Dun & Co. Sco Great Relief from the Seigniorage Bill Veto. Jloro Activity to Business in the East vith the Keport from Western Points Not So Flattering. NEW YORK. March 20.-R. G. Dunn & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The more active tone In business this week is in part due t the belief that no disturbance of the currency will be permitted, but other causes helped forward improvement. Slowly, but yet quite perceptibly, the force at work increases. The approach of spring compels tho dealers to replenish stocks, and tho aggregate of order?. If smaller than usual at this season. Is distinctly larger than in January or February. Except lr speculative markets, prices do not recover, and in sorno instances have sona lower, but the absence of sensational records inspires hope that the bottom may, have been reached- Business, though small. Is exceptionally cautious and s.-.J'e, and IU slow gain is more encouraging than a heavy expansion. Wheat rose briskly with reports, due every year about April L that great Injury has been sustained. Later accounts were better and pricea fell, closing 2c higher for tho week. Western receipts for four, weeks huve Jbeen only 6.82y.0! bushels, against 11.622,i40 last year, but export ar very small. Corn, receipts for four weeks have been 12.773.748 bushels against 1J&.115 last year, so that the tonnage of the two grains taken together Is as largo as a yean ago. Pork products have sharply advanced, though corn but little Cotton has advanced an eighth, the weekly movement being more favorable to the holders, though 200.0UO bales have already come into sighc in excess of the entire crop, according toi some so-called Investigation. Failures for the week number 223 in tha United States against 166 last year, and thirty in Canada against twenty-eight laac year. The liabilities for the three week of March thus far reported have been $10,061,911. of which $4,698,118 were of menu facturing and $1,425,0X2 of trading concerns. The returns so far indicate a smaller &g eregato for March than for February. , Bradtreet Trad Itcvlew. NEW YORK. March 20.-In its review of the state of trade Dradstreet's tomorrow will say: The features of the busuiesa will include evidences of Increasing vol times of trade at Eastern cities, which ar offset by checks to the movement of stapla merchandise at other centers, owing ta storms and cold weather, and by damagq to crops caused by the unusually low temperature West, Northwest and South. All Western cities noto the unfavorable influx ence of recent cold weather, except In the drug business at Detroit, which is said to be fair, and at Louisville Jobbers in dryi f roods and hardware say the demand had ncre&sed, as In building ma.terlais. also. There Is a smaller volume of trade in moet lines at Chicago, an exception being: among deaJers in pifc iron, where the demand exceeds expectations. A similar report la made by St. Louis dealers in crude iron and by Jobbers in dry good, millinery, hats, hardware and shoes. Kansas Cltyf fruit and produce men are said to be dls couragred at reports of killing frosts. At Omaha business is less active than a wet'le ago, although buyers in many instances are disposed to make larger purchases. At Milwaukee. St. laul. Minneapolis nnd Duluth the feature lntrade circles has been' theiemporarjr'ctt,ck to business dua to unseasonable cold weather. Portland. Ore., reports that business is Improving very slowly, while at Ban Francisco tha movement in staples is sluggish.
