ton to fluctuations in the price of COM
modities.
A careful reading of the two columns in
the fine type above, will open the way Of
anyone toward understanding that to say
dollar In gold is always a dollar, is pre-
cisely the same as to say bushel of wheat
is always bushel; for the value-purchas-
ing power-of either is variable, that Of
wheat for obvious reasons being the
most so.
1t is amusing, though, to read the follow
ing contradictions within three lines Of
each other in the TriburH's argument: ''In
the minis of the world certain number OF
grains of gold is called worth certain sum
Of money that is the same all over the
world, and there is no variation whatever
in that''; and then, 'when we come to com
pare its purchasing power in different To-
calities we have to judge by that purchas-
ing power"; which means, that while tho
purchasing power'' of gold is different in
different localities, yet its 'value'' is the
same everywhere The purchasing
power'' of money shows at once the ''value"
of the money; applied to money these terms
are synonymous.
The reader may wonder that we devote
space to the continued overturning of the
I''ibunc's argument about money We do
so because a clear understanding of the
function of money in the processes of in
dustry is the key to a score of questions
that occupy the attention of the people of
this country TO- day.

HE GETS IT AGAIN.

For the fourth time the scatter-brained
wag on our morning contemporary protests
that he has hopeless task" on his hands
in endeavoring to show how the money in
circulation can both decrease and increase
at the same time, how we can both export
and at the same time keep our gold and
silver, how greenbacks can both be and not
be money at the same time, and how money
is at the same time sold by weight, yet net
sold by weight.
AS the task is of his own choosing, we
have no sympathy for him; however, we
propose that he shall not side-track SO often

A CENTURY OF DISHONOR.

For "a century of dishonor," our rela-
tions with the Indians have been largely
those of suppressed war, says the Century.
We are people more than sixty millions
in number, and we should not admit that
any other people had reached so high a
general average of civilization. There are
about three hundred thousand Indians
among US, either in various stages Of civili-
cation or in barbarism, and after century
we have not made them friends. That is
fact per contra which we must not forget
in our celebration of ourselves as foremost
in the files of time. The Indian chapter of
our history is as discreditable to US as their
Irish chapter to the English, and the
severity Of our reproof of our English
brethren is little absurd when we read
that an unprecedented Indian outbreak in
the west is anticipated.
The old English view of Ireland as nest
OF pestilent papists is like our theory that
the Indians are vermin. Neither of them
land, after four centuries, is thorn in the
side of England; and toward the end of
three centuries the Indians are still our
foes. The reasons are obvious, and have
been SO always. The situation, indeed,
iustifies in spirit. if not in detail, its strong
description by the Herald:
In the meantime the rations promised by the
government have not arrived and the Indians
are starving. They have little or no clothing to
protect them from the bitter cold, and just food
enough to keep them hungry all the time. These
wards of the republic are cheated out of the
food which has been promised. but when they
complain, or in very desperation rise in revolt
ard commit an outrage, they are shot down like
dogs, and word is sent to the Great Father
at Washington that the only good Indian is a
dead Indian
They have at last, indeed, friends among
the whites. Within a few years the Indian
question has been widely and intelligently
discussed and the fact that our national
responsibility is very great is more gener-
ally acknowledged. But, as we pointed
out last week, while admirable results
have been reached in legislation, the In
| dian administration upon mere partisan
basis perplexes and prolongs the good work
| which has been begun. An Indian out
break now would be a natural penalty OF
our general course for many years; and
our armed victory, however necessary.
would only sow the seeds of further strife.
Fortunately, under General MILES, as
under General CROOK, the war would be
conducted by an American soldier who
understands the situation and sympathizes
with the Indians.

The only distinction to observe between
the left hand column, which seeks to prove
that the value Of gold is invariable, be-
and the right hand column, which
proves with just as much truth
the same thing for the wheat, is
that bushel does not vary in the amount
of wheat it contains, while dollar may
vary in the amount of gold it contains
Thus, the size, the capacity of the bushel
measure, remains invariabIe; the size, the
amount of gold by weight in the dollar, is
changed from time to time; not with every
change in the value of gold, as that would
give rise to very frequent recoinage, but
from time to time as governments have
thought necessary. Thus, in 1884, the
amount of pure gold in our $40 gold piece
was cut down from 2471l grains to. 232
grains. Not only, then, does the value of
the gold dollar, its purchasing power, vary
in itself; but the amount Of gold Tor silver
either in any standard coin is changed if
greater or smaller supply of the metal
threatens suddenly to affect its value. The
weight Of pure silver in dollar has been
changed several times since 1892.
The writer seizes upon q we'll known
prejudice among all who have given little
or no attention to such matters, and argues
that calling certain piece Of gold or silver
a dollar, forever fixes the value of that
piece. Whereas, there has perhaps never
yet been any authority on finance that has
not taken the trouble to explain that the
value of coined money fuctuates in add :

OUR ANSWER.

| OOh Ans w Eli.
In the granaries OF
the world a certain
quantity of wheat is
called a certain amount
that is the same all
over the world, there is
no variation in that.
Wheat is the same yes
terday. to-day and for
ever. That is, g bushel
of wheat is q bushel of
wheat; it is not a bushel
to-day and only three
lpecks tomorrow. A
bushel of wheat was a
bushel in 1873; sixteen
years later, that bushel
was still a bushel, but
Its purchasing power
had decreased. Think
of an idiot that would
maintain that the value
OF wheat is invariable,
because the amount of
a bushel of it is always
the same. Think of an
imbecile who says the
value OF a gold dollar is
always the same. even
when its purchasing
power is greater or less,
because the name OF 1t
is always "a dollar"

AS before we leave to the readers of the
Tribune the question of deciding in which
instance the organ lied-whether it lied
when it said gold increased 81 per cent. in
value or decreased so per cent. in purchas-
ing power, or whether it lies now when it
says the value of gold is the same yester-
day, to-day and forever
The task of reconciling those two state
ments might well have staggered even so
practiced a liar as the Tribune scribe; but it
had to be done. So the organ makes the
following childish argument, which, out of
pure sport, we parallel with another one
just as valid:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-12-16

We started out to say
that gold had a fixed
value all over the world,
the same yesterday, to-
day and forever: that
when 1t is exported or
imported it is not as
merchandise but as
money.-Tibune, Dec.

THE FOOLS ARGUMENT.
In the minis of the
world a certain number
OF grains Of gold is
called worth a certain
sum that is the same
all over the world,
there is no variation in
that. Gold is the same
yesterday, to-day and
forever. That is. a gold
dollar is a gold dollar
1t is not a dollar to-day
and eighty-five cents
tomorrow. 8 . = A
dollar in gold was a
dollar in 1873; siXteeu
years later that dollar
vase still a dollar, but
its purchasing power
had increased. . 3 =

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-12-16

Our point is that gold
increased in value 81
per cent. between 1873
and 1880, causing tie
depreciation of prop
erty to that extent.
There was an imitation
OF quite 80 per cent. in
moneybetween 1850 and
1850. That is the pur-
chasing power of gold
fell of so per cent.

crease both in gross and net. and as a whole
railroad business exhibits greater prosperity
than ever before enjoyed. Foreigners vera
doing very little to-day, buying some Louisville
and Nashville and selling some Union Pacific
and ST. Paul Bears melted dealings by drive
at values, which resulted in small fractional de-
clines. but although Union Pacific, ST. Paul, and
others were made the special objects OF attack,
buying orders appeared in them, and bears soon
gave it up, and went in TO cover with 8 cesSa-
ton OF pressure. However, dullness became
the ruling feature, and stagnation settled over
the entire market, relieved only at times by
special movement in a few shares. Gould stocks
were more prominent than usual of late, and
While Western Union and Missouri Pacific
showed considerable weakness. Manhattan and
Wabash were strong, the former in particular.
The attack upon Western Union was continued
because OF the movement at Washington to
establish a postal telegraph business. and the
such scheme, Western Union must take an
enormous tumble. Bulls upon the stock how
ever, assert that the government would have to
lease or buy existing lines upon terms which
would make the Western Union a purchase
rather than sale. There was considerable buy
ing of Rock Island, and there were rumors that
bull pool in the stock had been formed at
chicago, but st. Paul was pressed for sale
steadily all day. in spite of the resistance en-
gendered by a report Of the earnings for Feb
ruary. One Of the strongest points in the list
was Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred. which
made a marked advance, which movement
although originating in London, was helped by
report that its new connection with Baltimore
and Ohio would soon be completed. Trusts
were ell more active and strong, and Sugar,
while it failed TO hold its improvement, was
helped UPWARDS by rumors that all the influen-
tial parties who have been prominent in the
stock of late were now upon the bull side. Lead
rose on rumors which pointed to the success of
the reorganization plan. The market finally
closed dull and stagnant at insignificant changes
from last nights price, though most of the list
are higher. The sales of listed stocks were
only 13l $50 shares and in unlisted 81 225 shares
