G. A. II. Encampment.

Yesterday was gala day for Coeurd'-
Alene City. It was the last day Of
the Department OF Idaho G. A. r.
encampment which was in progress
nearly all week, and the city did it,
self proud in entertaining in magnifl-
cent style the vast crowd of people
assembled The neighbOring towns
and people from the country turned
out en- masse to greet the old veterans
who fought SO bravely in defense of
the flag we all honor and love SO we'll.
The grand parade and street pa
geant in the forenoon was an impos-
ing scene long to be remem bered. AS
the old veterans marched through the
streets the air was filed with deafen-
ing cheers in honor of them. At their
sight the old-time patriotism and en-
thusiam was awakened in every breast
and found utterance in bare heads
and lusty cheers
Rathdrum was well represented at
the city yesterday, and all were high
ly pleased with what they saw.

Post Falls, Idaho, June 13 Quite a num-
Der Of Post Falls people are attending the
G. A. r. encampment at Occur d'Alene this
week.
The long looked for occasion of the Maple
Sugar party took place last Thursday. June
&, and, as everyone anticipated 1t with SO
much pleasure indeed they were not disap-
pointed, for on this OCCASION as on every 9th
auspices OF the G.. A. R., or the Woman's
Relief Corps, it proved to be a very enjoya-
bic affair. Dancing was the main feature OF
the evening, and as the music in attendance
was of the very best. everyone seemed in the
spirit to trip the light fantastic toe. On the
whole it could hardly be considered very
great success financially, but indeed socially;
and as the latter seems the object to be at
tanned, we shall consider it a success,
Last Sunday was Children's Day and here
the occasion was appropriately observed. 1t
must be said OF the little ones who took parts
in the exercises, that to them is due much
credit; also TO the ladies from whom they re-
ceived their instructions.
Mrs. Minnie Olds left Sunday evening for
Colfax, on business, returning Thursday
morning.

IS IT OVERPRODUCTION f?
Or Demonstration of Silver That
Has Ruined Prices /?

one time we find them arguing from
the suppOsitioD that prices
have not fallen and that gold has not
appreciated; again they admit the ap-
probation of gold; but maintain that
the resulting fall in prices is benef1-
cial, and then again they deny that
gold has appreciated, while admitting
the great fall in prices which they at
tribute to over production, says the
American.
Several weeks since we referred to
the the theory Of OverprOductiOn and
showed that while there can be and
often is Overproduction in one line OF
goods, causing temporary fall In
prices, the general overproduction of
all commodities at one and the same
time is an lmpossibility. This is be-
cause all producers are consumers,
and it is unreasonable to suppose that
men will produce more than they can
consume. Besides, mans wants are
infinite and there is no limit to his
ability to consume. AS long as man
has any desires that he is unable to
satisfy there can be no such thing as
general OverprOductiOn. And, as we
said before, mans wants are Infinite,
and as soon as one want is satisfied
he will have another.
The claim of the mono metallists
that the fall in prices has been due
to overproductOn is then. in theory,
ridiculous. The facts as to overpro-
duction show that this position of the
monometallists is untenable.
There is no doubt that population
has increased greatly in the last
thirty years. It is estimated that the
increase of the worlds population has
been fifty per cent. In Europe alone
the population has grown thirty mill
ions in the last ten years, and we
know that the population in America
has doubled in the last thirty years.
IL is self evident that this great in
crease Of population should have oc-
casioned greatly increased prOduc-
tion. If population has increased at
the rate OF II per cent. per annnm
production should have increased at
least as rapidly. If production in
creaSes faster than population. prices
should fall, according to the theory of
overproduction; if population in
creases faster than production, prices
should rise. But this theory Of over
production does not stand the test.
From 1855 to 1873 the production OF
the world grew at the rate Of three
per cent. per annum, and since 1873
production has increased at the rate
of only one per cent. per annum M.
Meline.) During the first period
while production was increasing fast
er than population, prices rose con-
tionuously: while during the second,
while population increased faster than
production prices fell steadily In
other words, during the period while
production was most active. prices
rose: but after 1873, when produc.
