THE VALUE OF MONEY.

''Some claim that gold is in
creasing in value. This is shown
to be untrue by the constantly
lowering of interest rates, which
alone measures the value of mon
ey. In 1860 this government
was glad to pay 10 percent for
money. To-day it can borrow
freely at three per cent.-Moor-
head Independent.
Thus speaks the Moorhead
newspaper which has been en-
couraged by the soundDmoney
element to attempt to supplant
Bro. Lamphere's paper. IN
TEREST RATES ALONE MEASURE
THE VALUE OF MONEY! Can it
be that such stupendous fallacies
are allowed to go unchallenged?
Has then money no other func-
ton than that of being loaned
and borrowed, or no other meas
ure of value than the rate of per
cent which money sharks may
agree to take? Money Is the life
blood of commerce and it's prin-
cipal function is as medium of
exchange. But when prices fall
and times are depressed, there
are no legitimate business ven.
lures launched, nobody buys on a
falling market, and the money
hides and is drained from the
veins of business, and the owners
are willing to invest it in Public
or gilt-edged security rather than
put it into any business venture
which may end disastrously. If
you must go to the broker's office
for evidence regarding to the val
ue of gold, just try to make loan
on chattles, horses, COWS, wheat
or oats or any product you wish
and see if gold has not apprecia-
ted in value. The value of money
is regulated by it's volume, but
no money which is not primary
or full legal tender figures in the
establishment of this value.
Therefore while we may nominal
ly not have contracted the total
amount of money to such a great
degree as would correspond with
the general average decrease of
the prices Of our products, yet
the destruction of half the pri-
mary money and the piling the
same as more credit money on
the top the already well-loaded
down gold basis is just the reason
for the falling price Of those pro:
ducts. The only reliable baro-
meter as to the value of the money
standard is not the rate of inter
est charged for loans on; select
first class security, but the gen.
eral average Of prices Of all pro
ducts and ommodities.

right with Birch. We notice
the following in the last Argus:
'The assassination committee want
an early convention, and why not give
it to them. The chairman of the State

committee this week and have the con-
vention called for June 10Th, and then
let all the assassination go on. The

the convention adjourns and the De.

AGAIN THE FOOT LAKE
ROAD.

The Argus and Gazette are full
of road talk this week again.
The Argus as usual spouts mud
at the Doctor. It claims that
opposition to the road comes
from the Doctor, and is due to
political differences between the
doctor and Senator Thorpe dur
ing the last campaign. Well,
anybody but the Argus man
knows that the Doctor has had
no political, or other kind of con-
test, with L. O. Thorpe last fall
or any other time.
The Gazette on the other hand
quits it's former mean insinua-
tions at base motives of the TRI-
BUNE editors, and proceeds to ar
que the question. Well, that is
whatwe want. 1.-THE project after
a free and fair discussion shallap-
pear to be right and proper and
for the interest of the town of
and village, all objection to it will
of course disappear. And we
shall waive irregularity of a tech
ical nature. But if on the other
hand the present plan of building
the road and bridge can be
shown to be unfair and inequit-
able to individuals, to sections,
and to the public of the township
and village, the 149 signatures
on the original petition cannot
make it right.
That the community is amaz-
ingly ignorant in regard to the
provisions of this new law, the
editor of the Republican Gazette
can prove by himself. Week
before last Bro. Crosby labored
under the idea that the cost of
building the bridge and dump
would be betrayed by a special
tax. Ordinary common people
are not supposed to know, can
not in fact know, one-fve hun
dreth or even one-one thous-
anth of all the kinks and crooks
or even plain provisions of the
voluminous mass of laws passed
alta session of the legislature
nowadays. Even the best
lawyers do not pretend to know
anyone law unless they have
made a special study of it, and
then in most cases they do not
know.
One of our most intelligent
business men who signed the
petition, and whose name no
doubt brought dozen of sigma
atures to the petition stated pub
licly on the Street the other day
in the hearing of a number of
gentlemen, that he understood
the petition to be simply for a
preliminary survey as to the
possibility of bridging the lake;
that it was so represented to him;
and if he had understood that
signing that petition was giving
the county commissioners full
jurisdiction of the matter, with
out further action, he would new
.er have signed it. And further:
more, had he known that the
common road and bridge fund of |
the township would be taken to
pay it, he would have opposed it
with all. his might. Possibly
Bro. Crosby alter he has now
found out that such is the case
may change his opinion also.

NEW MExICo'S MISUNDERSTANDING.

The Albuquerque Democrat makes
editorial mention of the fact that the
house committee on Indian affairs has
favorably reported bill providing for
commission to treat with the shoshone
and Bannock Indians with a view to ar
irving at an amicable agreement for the
enforcement of the game laws of Wyom-
ing; and, as the same conditions as those
sought to be remedied in Wyoming pre-
vail touching the protection of game in
New Mexico and the other states and ter
ritories embracing and contiguous to In
dian reservations, the suggestion seems
timely that the scope of the bill as re.
ported shonld have been enlarged to
cover all similar cases. PROFESSIONALLY
the committee could easily have been
persuaded to make the bill applicable to
New Mexico as we'll as to Wyoming if
Delegate Catron had cared enough about
the protection of game in this territory
to ask for such an amendment.
Apropos to the measure mentioned it
may be added that bill has also been
favorably reported to the house making
liberal provision for schools of mines in
all of the western states, and that Rep
resentative Shafroth has actually secured
the passage by the house of his bill
throwing open to prospectors and min
ers the national forest reserves in Colo
RADIO. But, Notwithstanding that our
school of mines and our prospectors are
+ surrounded by conditions exactly like
those existing in the mountain states and
are really in greater need of the foster
ing care of congress, no mention of New
Mexico is made in either of these bills
and it does not appear that Delegate Cat
ron made the slightest effort to have the
territory he misrepresents recognized
in either. How easy, how fitting and how
natural Zone would think it would have
been for him to 60 before the proper
committees and urge amendments to
these measures so that New Mexico would
share equally with the mountain states
in their benefits.
But what does the great am of the
Button brigade care about the protection
of game, the building up of mining
schools or promoting the mining indus
try of New Mexico? just as much as he
once declared he did about the education
Of the sd pauper children of Ger
rillos," or as old Commodore Vanderbilt
announced he did about public opinion
when he said "the public be DID," or as
much as the infamous Boss Tweed once in
dicated he cared about being called thief,
when, with his vaults bursting with plum
dered millions, he impudently and au-
daciously replied to newspaper ex-
posure of his colossal crimes against
the people by asking: "What are you 60
ing to do about it?" But Boss Tweed
fell from his throne of stolen COLA with
an awful crash and some other great peo-
pie we have in mind better beware how
they insult and defy public opinion.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Z
DEM0CRACY'S STAND.

Resolutions unanimously adopted by
session at Santa Fe February 5, 1896:
Resolved, That the Democratic party
of the territory of New Mexico is heartily
in favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, equally with gold, at the ratio
of 16 to /, without waiting for the action
or consent of any other nation, and that
We invite all believers in such bi-metall-
ism in New Mexico to attend our pri-
maries and act with the Dem ocratic party
in striving to attain this great relief to
the common people.
Resolved, That it is the earnest desire
of this committee that New Mexico be
admitted to the Union at the earliest
practical moment, and that we pledge our
unqualified support and bespeak the sup
port of the Democratic party Of this ter
rltory to any just measure looking to
that end, believing that the interests of
all of the people of the territory would
be advanced thereby.
Resolved, That we commend the ac-
tion of the recent Republican territorial
committee with reference to statehood as
eminently fair and just and stand ready
to lend our heartiest support to any bill
framed on the broad and generous lines
therein laid down; but we unquAlifiedly
oppose and denounoe as unfair and I'M
just the apportionment feature of the
bill for the admission of New Mexico
into the Union as state, provided for in
the bill introduced at the present session
of congress by the delegate from New
Mexico.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse and
commend the manly and patriotic
message of President Cleveland on
the Venezuelan question, and his
Interpretation of the Monroe doc
trine as the truest kind of American
ism. We furthermore congratulate the
president on his courageous position on
the tariff question, and we declare our
selves in favor of the true tariff for reve-
nue. measures.
Resolved, That the income tax seems
to us to be the equitable distribution of
the expenses of our government, and the
only way to place the just share on those
who derive the most benefit from the
protection which our government affords.
Resolved, That we regard with pride
the excellent administration of our terri
tory ard its enviable record under a
Democratic head in the promotion of
justice and the protection of the lives
and property of our citizens; and we
close with an appeal to all Democrats to
stand together, and not listen to the siren
voice of radicals and Populists who are
bent upon the destruction of our party
and the formation OF a mushroom growth
with but one idea, The Democratic
party is the bulwark of the rights and
safety of the people, and its existence is
the assurance of popular government in
these United States.

EXCURSIONS TO THE GRAND
 CANYON.

On July 16 and every alternate Thursday to and including September 10, 1896, the S. F., P. & P. railway will place on sale round trip tickets from Phoenix to Flagstaff at one fare for the round trip. The limit will be for thirty days, enabling parties to take advantage of long trips to the Grand canyon of the Colorado river. First class stage accommodations, includ- ing meals and guides, can be secured at Flagstaff. This will afford an oppor- tunity to people of Arizona to visit one of the grandest wonders of the world. It is claimed that people from other states and territories take more interest in this trip than our own resi- dents. Arizona people should know more of their own territory. Here is their chance and at less expense than ever before. For particulars call on or write B. W. Gillett, general agent, Phoenix.

snowballs Rolled bv the Wind.

Passengers on the Flint River divi- sion of the Flint & Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint, Mich., recently reported observing strange phenom- enon 1n large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune. Hundreds of snowballs, some of tfsen of colossal size, have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take a large force of boys several days to do.
