CLOSED ON

The Albuquerque Morning Dem
ocrat, j. @. Albright's paper,
which has been sailing in shallow
water, (metaphOrically speaking)
for some time Was temporarily
closed on attachments last We'd
nesday. The Democrat has never
been regarded in the light of a
great religious journal; in fact it
might be truthfully said that its
editorials were at times tainted
with waywardness. Politically,
as its name suggested, it was dem
ocratlc; not however, Of the good
old Jeffersonian school, but dem
ocratic just the same. We are
a trife suspicious that the Even
ing Citizen was not under the in
huence Of the golden rule and the
decalogue when it published the
following account Of the proceed
ings. 1t said:
During this term of court, exc
cutions aggregating about $1,000
have been obtained against j. q.
Albright. This morning, WED
nesday) Deputy Sheriff Hubbell
served several of the papers, and
the Democrat Office is ia the hands
of that competent official. In ad-
dition there are floating debts
against the outfit aggregating sew
eral thousand dollars. The clos
ing out Of the Democrat is a boon
to the democrtic party of this city,
because an opening will be made
for q respectable democratic paper,
one that will not be for sale on ev-
cry proposition.
The first executions run against
the rotten concern and which are
in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Hubbell are as follows: First Ma
tional bank vs. j. q. Albright,
S40l.17; First National bank VS. j.
q. Albright, 1921"
We are glad to say that Mr.
Albright speedily adjusted the
claims against the office and that
the Democrat is received daily
with the name of j. g. Albright
at the head Of It's editorial col
umns.

The stock interests OF the coun-
try, which have perhaps felt the
general business depression as
keenly as any other industry, have
been gradually Frightening ever
since the beginning Of the new
year, and those who have been for
%tunAte enough to possess good
rangers and thus hold on to their
stock are sure to reap great re-
wards. The following associated
press dispatch will prove Of inter
est to our readers:
Chicago, March 27.-The Post
says: Prices on all kinds of meat
will be higher this summer than
for ten years past. Even the high
prices made by some dealers dur
ing the worlds fair period will be
exceeded by the figures asked for
roasts, steaks and chops from now
on. It is not probable that much
relief will come before next fall.
Prices havealready advanced about
% per cent and an additional adj
vance of about the same proper
ton is almost certain.
The prime cause Of the advance
is the scarcity Of cattle.
All kinds of beef from porter
house TO hash meat are being sold
now from 2 TO 8 cents a pound
higher than a month ago, and PORK
products Of all kind, from pigs
feet to head cheese, are worth con-
siderable more than they could be
bought for on the first Of the
month. There is little likelihood
that a reaction will come because
the condition which enhanced val
ues will not change for several
months.

The Irrigation Congress which
viii meet in Albuquerque Oh the
18th Of next September viii be
composed Of representatives from
about 30 states and territories;
that "a the estimate, at least Of
those who have the matter in
charge. On September 1920 the
Territorial Fair will be held in the
same city. Since the outlook for
all New Mexican products the
coming season is so propitious it
would appear that this would at
ford a rare opportunity to show to
the world something as to what
our resources are. The Irrigation
Congress will bring to our Terri
tory hundreds Of capitalists and
business men who are not so much
interested in the subject of lrriga-
ton as they are in the investiga-
ton of the latent wealth produc-
ing features Of New Mexico. At
the last session Of the Legislature
$500 we're appropriated for the
purpose Of defraying the natural
expenses Of the congress, and a
portion of that sum will be ex-
pended in entertaining delegates.
Among other things, the commit
tee in charge has arranged for a
special train from Albuquerque TO
the irrigated districts in the Pecos
and Mesilla valleys and to other
notable portions of the Territory.
It is not understood that Grant
County will be touched by the
special and for that reason an eff
fort should be made by our min
ers, agriculturalists and fruit grow
ers for a grand display of their
products at the Territorial Fair.
If this matter we're properly pre-
scented to the board of County
commissioners, we are of the opiD-
ion that some pecuniary assistance
might be realized from that source
as a mean of assisting our pro-
ducers in making an exhibit at the
Fair.
Special rates will be made by
the railroads and a great effort will
be put forward to make the Irri-
cation Congress and Territorial
Fair the successes they should be.

Fair Association, assures us that

THE MONEY PROBLEM.
FoRT BAYARD, N. NJ. Mar. 4,'95.
ED. SOUTHWEST SENTINEL:
Would not the effect of the U.
S. going to silver as a standard
dollar be that those countries
which hold silver as a primary or
redemption money would cause
their trade to flow into the hands
of the merchants of the u. S., for
the whole reason, if for no other,
that their silver would have in the
y. S. the coin value? Would the
effect be to food the U. s. with
silver? Would not the effect be
rather to raise the value of silver
in all countries? No man would
be willing to sell his silver for the
English price when the U. s. lad
set a higher, and the U. S. would
have the advantage of setting the
worlds price. English merchants
could not afford to lose their trade
and would accept the value of sill
yer as set by the merchants of the
U. s., and they the value as set by
their government. Would this not
result in giving the U. s. merchant
and manufacturer a larger market
for their goods? Would not trade
then flow in the natural channel?
Would goods be sent thousands of
miles further TO England except
for the present conditions of the
money world? England is the
money market simply because the
balance of trade is in her favor
and she will have the appreciated
gold if she can in any way get it
This she has done by refusing &c
sell for anything but gold, in this
way causing the world to fear sill
yer. The rest of the world has
given away to her. fearing tina

amount Of the metal. Now the
gold men have been before the
legislatures Of many Of the coun-
tries, and by various arguments
have persuaded these countries to
demonetize silver and 10 leave the
mints open to gold alone, for un-
der the present laws, while silver
is coined, it is simply a promise to
pay, on presentation, 30 much
gold. The result has been to in
crease the demand for gold as a
circulating medium and in conse-
quence Of the demand being great
or than the supply, the gold has
appreciated in value, and can now
be exchanged for more wheat, corn
and other articles of merchandise
than it could before the demone-
tization Of silver caused this extra
demand for gold. The cry is
made: you borrow gold from Mr..
A. and would pay him in silver
and call it honest when you know
silver is only worth go cents an
ounce" 1 say no, it isnot honest.
But why shall not / remain honest
il / can cause a demand for my
silver which will make it worth a
dollar and more, then sell my sill
yer to Mr.. j. who wants il, for his
gold, and who is willing to pay me
a dollar more in gold for my silver
and then give Mr.. A. his gold,
keeping the 40 per cent and more
for myself. Mr.. A. went to the
Legislature and had them legislate
him this 40 per cent Of my values
in the first instance. Why may 1
not now.go and get the Legislature
to legislate this back to me? The
cry Is very much the same as that
Of the thief who was taken with
money be had stolen, and who
says to the officers "don't take my
money, it is mine, I've got it."
(Got means the attainment Of pos
session by voluntary exertion. }
1t is acknowledged by all that If
silver should be remonetized again
it would at once run its value up
again. What does that mean un-
less it be that the demand for sill
yer would be greater. Would
gold be injured by this coursei
not in the leeast. It would then
like any other commodity, seek its
level, and as the demand for il
would be less, its purchasing pow.
er would be less, and its strangling
power on all people who are en-.
gagged in mercantile pursuits ant
on all labor, the present condition
enables the men who handle money
to corner, so to speak, the money
market, and to run its price up, il
other words to depreciate every.
thing else and so increase theii
own holdings.
Remonetizing silver will not re
lieve the depression entirely be
cause both silver and gold are no
sufficient to supply the modern
world with a medium of exchang,
and were the world to depend OF
these two metals alone, it's entirl
commerce would rapidly be pu

stress both silver and gold woul,

Bradstreet's Financial Review

NEW YORK, June 14.-Brad sire et's s
Financial Review tomorrow will say:
Interest and activity in speculation
have both increased to a marked degree,
the week showing much larger volume
OF trading in stocks, with a decided re-
sumption of advancing tendencies. The
principal factor in this connection was
the government crop report. The inter-
pretation which Wall street gave to the
showing was that the deficiency in the
wheat crop had been exaggerated. Rains
in the corn region deprived the bears of
the principal argume ent which had been
used to check the rise in railway securi-
ties. to induce liquidation and shcrt
sales. Nor has the improvement in trade
in particular the advance in iron and
steel prices and the growing activity in
such lines, been without an effect of the
same kind.
While the New York money market is
still oversupplled, there seems to be in
creased employment for funds al the in
terror, checking the flow to this center
and holding the prospect Of better inter-
est rates in the future. Foreign exchange,
it is true, has been high at rates which
approach, if they do not touch, the gold
shipping figures. The bond syndicate has,
however, again exerted it's influence to
prevent such transactions, and the
opinion prevails that when the agreement
between the Belmont-M Morgan combina-
ton and the United States treasury ex-
pires the supply OF bills of exchange
against cotton and grain futures will be
sufficiently large to depress exchange and
obviate the danger of a renewed drain on
the government gold reserve. The i'm
provement in prices has. however. been
mai My the work OF professional specula-
tive elements. 1t is worth noting that
the fortnightly settlement in American
stocks at London went through easily
and that good deal of money has been
apparently diverted from the Kaffir mines
to that department 1t is a general inn
preston that speculation in our stocks is
about to assume large proportions on the
foreign exchanges and that the evident
waning of the pro-silver agitation will
have considerable influence in that con-
nection.
