CHEAP MONEY FALLACIES.
The fallacies of abundant, cheap money
are attractive and innumerable. Never be-
and followers of money fallacies been so
numerous and jealous. They tell us that
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at l6 to ! will raise not only the price of
silver, but of all farm products and all
commodities. But price is only the value
OF a thing in money. And If the quantity
OF money be greatly increased and that in
crease does not raise the price of things
generally, will not the things themselves
selves? And If by an infinite coinage of
silver at l6 TO pork, priced at Sc per bar
REL and Hour, priced at sc per barrel, each
doubled in price, but each is still only the
value of the other. Therefore, there may
be general rise or general fall In
there cannot be such thing as general
rise or general fall in values. Everything
can no more rise or fall with everything
can each outrun all the rest, or a hundred
trees can all overtop one another To sun

lively TO each other would be to realize the

man is as good as his neighbor and good
deal better too"
