The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1896-08-22

but gold Is the universal and absolute
regulator of prices. The silver coin is
worth for any purpose just what it is
worth in gold, no more, no less. Silver
is the common money of account; that
is to say, in ordinary business transac-
lions among the natives, involving
money payments, the calculations are
generally made in terms of Mexican
silver dollars. Yet merchants and
others doing any considerable business
always insure themselves against losses
growing out of fluctuations in the value
of silver. They never insure against
losses resulting from fluctuations in
the value of gold, and always prefer
gold payments. A ten dollar Mexican
debt can be settled at any time with a
five dollar gold piece. AS much of any.
thing, including labor, can be purchas
ed in Mexico for one dollar in gold as
for two dollars in the so.called standard
money of the country. There are two
prices for everything and the gold price
is just half the silver price, or little
less. Calculated in Mexican money
everything is very high except wages
which are not so easily marked up" as
the merchants stock. Free silver coin
age measured by the experience of the
Mexican labOrer is not by long odds an
unmixed blessing. But the question
is, what, in Mexico, is the basic money?
There is no gold in general circulation,
yet gold is the price regulator. The
value of the Mexican silver dollar is
exactly its bullion price in gold. Or.
its face, it processes to be worth 100
cents and really contains six grains
more silver than the silver dollar of the
United States; but there is no place in
the world where it passes at its face
value, not even in Mexico. All debts
in Mexico, though calculated in liver
are settled on a gold basis. The ma
tional debt, interest and principal, is
paid in gold, or the exact equivalent of
gold in silver at its bullion or market
price. What then is the monetary
standard? If the value of the Next
can silver dollar is fixed and regulated
by its price in gold, which of the two
metals should be regarded as the basic
money. 1t seems to us that gold is the
foundation upon which even the Next
can monetary system rests, but we can
didly confess that our mind is not per
fectly clear on the subject. Perhaps,
silver is the standard money in spite
of the fact that its value for every com.
mercial purpose is expressed in terms
of gold.

that great majority Of the "bOlters'
are honest but mistaken, and it is
therefore the purpose and duty of Re-
pubIicans to point out to their wander
ing brethren the error of their way, not
impeach their intentions. Those who
have forsaken the Republican party
have been temporarily carried off their
fest by the extraVagances of Demo
cratic promise, and for the moment,
lose sight of the fact that Democratic
promises are the most brittle and I'M
reliable obligations ever wrought in the
forge Of political delusion. They for
get that only four years ago promises
ten times more seductive were "made
TO the ear only to be broken to the
hope" In little time, the memory of
those aberrant brothers will resume Op-
erations, and as one after another they
recall the receptions and blunders
which Democracy, in the last four
years, has inscribed on the pages of pO-
litical history, their hearts will warm
with an irrepressible yearning for the
old party whose patriotism and intelli-
gence is as broad as the land, whose in,
tegrity is without rift or flaw and
whose promise is as good as the ma
TONS bond.

VALET VALET

Senator Dubois has been playing a
very shrewd game, but the dead flies
are falling off him now.
He was to bolt the st. Louis Repub-
lican convention, get control OF the
Republican machinery in Idaho, throw
the party for Bryan and Sewall, and
then in return was to get the Demo-
cratic support to return him to the
senate.
That was the great game Matched up
long before the st. Louis convention
met, and that was how we were to
get free coinage"
It really appears that instead of beir 8
successful Dubois has already signally
failed and busted his party in this
state wide open.
His idea that by supporting Bryan
and yet "being Republican" would
make him solid with Republicans
and Democrats both. has been a fatal
mistake. Instead, however, he is solid
with neither one.
He is working harder for Dubois
than he is for silver, and he is truer to
Dubois than he is to the Republican or
any other party.
His political chieanery has at last
found him out, and it was not much of
a discovery either.-News. Miner.

MExIoo's STANDARD.

While many people in this state have
made an exhaustive study of the finan.
cial question and no doubt have salts.
factoriIy solved the problem, there are
some OF us who do not perfectly under.
stand 1t. These frequently discover
phases of the subject that puzzle them
1t is unifOrmally asserted and gener-
ally accepted that Mexico is a silver
standard country; that is to say, that
its monetary system Is on silver basis;
and any one denying or questioning the
correctness of this statement would be
deemed dishonest or very i'll informed.
The difficulty with some of us must be
that we do not clearly grasp the mean
ing OF the terms "basis" and STANDARD"
as used in monetary parlance. Let us
examine this point for a moment
From lls6S to 1878, greenbacks were
substantially the only kind of money in
circulation in this country; are we to
say, then, that during that period the
United States was on a paper basis ?
We belle We it is commonly so con-
sidered; but there was not moment of
that period during which the value of
the greenback was not expressed in
gold. At one time the greenbacl sank
TO 30 per cent. of its nominal value and
was constantly subject to violent fiuc.
tuations. 1t rose and fell with the for.
tunes Of the Union army, but with re.
spect to what was it variant? Was it
not always with respect to gold? Even
though there was not dollar of gold
In general circulation, it constituted the
basis OF all price calculations. Green.
backs was worth IS, 40, so, 60, or 70
cents on the dollar according as the
outlook for converting it into gold
was favorable or otherwise. What
then was the basic money, paper or
goldg In Mexico, today, silver is sub.
Stantially the only circulating medium.

REPUBLICAN SENTIMENTS.

Last Sunday morning the Statesman
had leading editorial under the title
"Red Flag" in which some things were
said which ought not to have been
said, and which wholesome Republican
sentiment does not endorse. After
quoting at length from the Spokesman.
Review, the Statesman proceeds as fol
lows: "In this contest Bryan repre-
sents the forces that make toward an
archy and it is impossible for any one
to support him without becoming
either an advocate or an apologist for
anarchy" The idea that runs through
the Statesman editorial is that everv
man who disposes to vote for Mr.. Brv.
an has anarchistic inclinations and is
not unwilling to assist in plunging the
country into laWlessuess. The States.
man knows that in this state, particu-
larry, hundreds of men who were for
merly Republicans will vote for Mr..
Bryan, among them probably the editor
OF the Statesman himself. It knows
that they have but one object in view.
which is the free and unlimited coin
age OF silver, doctrine long and earn
estly advocated by the Statesman. It
knows that majority of the deserters
from the Republican party are not in
sympathy with the anarchistic features
of the Chicago platform, and, therefore.
1t has no right to brand them as either
advocates of, or apologists for, an
archy. Anarchy is harsh word, and
to assert that it defines the sentiment
which actuates silver Republicans is
not only absurd but shamefully false.
There are among the deserter from the
Republican party men as honest, patri.
otto and law-loying as any that ever
lived. We do not hesitate to say that
the great majority of them revere the
established institutions of their coun.
try aud would be among the bravest
and foremost to sustain its laws and
protect its flag; and the Statesman mis-.
represents and traduces them when it |

Is unreasonable, unjust and un. Repub-

THE CONVENTION.


The Republican County convention
Thursday. was an inspiration. 1t was
composed of earnest, thoughtful men
who love the principles of the Repub.
lican party and propose to stand by
them. 1t was spontaneous uprising
of citizens determined to assert and de
fend their conscientious convictions
and inalienable rights. They were not
stimulated to action by the expeeta-
tion Of substantial reward in the way
of public Office or political advantage
Of any kind Every delegate in the
convention had a clear realization of
the fact that there is not the slightest
hope Of Republican success in this
county this fall. Every delegate knew
when he entered the convention hall
that he had mortgaged his political
fortunes. Every delegate was pro-
foundry sensible of the fact that he
could only assert his manhood at the
expense Of his political ambition. But
there was not in all that convention
an office seeker; there was not man
there who would sacrifice one iota of
principle for Office. The men who
came up from Payette and New Ply
mouth, the men who came over from
Falk's Store and Emmett, the men who
came down from Nampa and over from
Middleton are all sturdy, independent,
frugal, broad minded and liberal pat.
riots, and, with one exception which it
would be humillating to mention, the
same Is true Of Caldwell's men. They
were not in that convention because
they lOnged for the public flesh pots,
but because they were citizens of this
Republic with rights to defend and
principles to advance.
One result of the convention will be
that candidates for all county and pre-.
cinCt Offices will be placed in the field,
but this is solely for the purpose of
maintaining and perpetuating Repub-
lican organization. These candidates
will enter the campaign expecting and
even counting defeat, but before the
end comes they will haYe added to the
Republican roll call scores Of respected
names. The seeds that will be sown
broadcast in the next 60 days will
fructify and grow inio rugged plants,
yielding an abundant, wholesome
fruitage for years to come,
Another result of the convention win |
be a drawing together of the people of
Canyon county. The goth day of Aug
ust, 1895, will mark the beginning of
the end of sectiOnalism, local animOsi-
ties and community iealousies. When
the delegates dispersed, there glowed
in their breasts feeling towards the
people of Caldwell which had not been
there before, aud the hearts Of the
people of Caldwell warmed toward
their neighbOrs from without. How
different the effects when men meet
together in common cause, inspired
by noble purpose, than when they meet
to engage in wild scramble for politi.
cal plundert Regarded from any point
of view, 1t is clear that good, and good
only, will flow from the convention of
last Thursday. Therefore we congratu-
late all those who participated; we con-
graduate the loyal Republicans, and
we congratulate all the people of Can
yon county.
