THE CITIZEN.
THE PRICE OF GOLD.

Three Pertinent Questions Very Clearly
Answered.
The subjoined questions have been
asked of us by correspondent:
81 Does the price of gold fiuctuate In a
commercial sense the same as silyers
- When the jeweller buys gold Dull
lion at prices quoted in the market re-
port. is that an Indication that the price
of gold iluctuates commercially the same
as the price of silver,
..3 Is gold amenable to the law OF
supply ana demand as product, or only
rs moneys:
The asking of these questions shows OF
itself the confusion that prevails In many
minds on the subject TO which they relate
The price of gold in any country in which
gold bullion is coined without charge, or
at a trifling charge, to the owner differs
from the quantity of coin which it will
produce only by the difference which the
owner is willing to pay to save himself the
loss or inconvenience Of waiting for the
actual coinage to take place. In this
country every depositor of gold bullion at
the mint gets, as soon as the bullion can
he weighed and assayed, an order on the
treasury for s2067 for every ounce, less the
/ cost of melting and alloying, which is next
to nothing.
In Great Britain the Bank Of England
Is required by its charter to pay for every
ounce of standard gold offered to IL :"
shillings and 8 pence, in Its own notes,
and these notes it must redeem in gold
| coin on demand 1t can then either have
| the gold coined into sovereigns at a shau'
| ings and 1O11 pence per ounce, or 1t car
| keen il uncoined When the bank buys
| gold on its own account, as, for instance
| when it buys American gold coin, 1t pays
| a trife less than the regulation price; ane
when it sells, either our coin or gold bars
| it gets as much more as purchasers arr
| willing TO pay. Nevertheless, the coming
value of the gold fixes, very nearly, th'
| market price, and the deviations ar
| trifling.
| When it comes to the value Of golt
| measured by commodities, different rul'
prevails The price of gold does not vary
| but the quantity of it required to procur
in exchange any article that Is bough
and sold. varies according to the market
An ounce of coined gold will buy, some
| times 80 ounces of silver, sometimes 81
and sometimes 81. 1t will buy, some
| times 20 bushels of wheat, sometimes &c
and, at present, here in New York, sbou
20. When jeweler needs gold he cal
either melt up gold coin or buy uncoine'
bars, as he pleases; but, either way, h
PAYS very nearly the same value for 1t.
Our answers to the questions put to
are, therefore: /. The price Of gold doe
not vary in commercial sense the sam
as silver 2 The price paid for gold bar
does not indicate that gold fiuctuate
commercially. g. Gold is amenable t
the law of supply and demand, but tn
variations in it's value are Indicated b
the prices of other commodities, OF whic
prices gold coin, or its equivalent, is tn
measure-N. Y. Sun.

To The Republicans Of Lincoln
County.

When this paper was turned
over TO its present management
the only restriction placed upor
the publisher was that it should b,
run as Republican paper. The
owners of the paper, and the pub
Usher were, and are now, Republi-
cans.
Since the nomination OF McKin-
ley, by the Republicans, and Bryan
by the Democrats, there is in Lin
coin county, as everywhere in Ida
ho, serious division among Re.
pubhcen voters. We realize the
peculiar situation, and thus far, out
of Difference to all, we have endeav-
ored TO run a purely local news
paper-h hoping that whatever differ
ences there might be among us on
National matters, we could at least
unite on local Republican ticket.
AS neither our state, or county con-
ventions have yet met, we see no
occasion for any division among
local Republicans, and whatever
the state. may do, we know of no
reason why the republicans of Lin
coin county can not stand together.
We desire TO call the attention of
the Republicans to the vote cast in
this county at the last general cleo
tian. We select fair average and
will take the vote on State Auditor
as a test; Ramsey, republican, had
l3i votes: Stoddard, democrat, had
4s votes and Walton, populist. had
"a votes. Now if you unite the
Democratic vote of 43 rnd the Pop
ulist vote of "a, you will observe
that Ramsey, Republican, had a
majority Of four votes over both of
them.
We mention this to show that
the Republicans. if united, have a
majority over both parties on
party question. The only differ
suce between republicans is the {
head of The ticket-they agree on )
Everything else. We do not know }
II one Republican in this county,
