ABOUT MONEY.

The Pocatello AdUGnce propounds
the following:
"Will the CALDWELL TRTRYrNrF
please answer us one question and an
easy one at that: Would there be an
era OF greater prosperity with an in
creased per capita circulation and if so.
to what amount should that circuIa.
ton be increased, without danger to
the industries, morality and general
welfare of the American people :"
To that we answer candidly, we do
not know to what amount circulation
might be increased without danger
We are not an expert in financial mat.
ters and it takes an expert to determine
such questions. We believe the Pom.
lists claim that $50 per capita is A
wholesome sum, but upon what basis,
we do not know. If $50 be the correct
figure, there ought to be an increase of
SS7, or about $50 per cent. 1t is our
opinion that of that kind Of money for
which everybody, all over this world ia
willing to work and sweat and sacrifice
with which every saleable thing on this
earth can be purchased, for which there,
is universal and Unsuitable demand
OF that money, there can not possibly
be too much. But of money which
does not possess these sovereign attri.
bntes, there may be a surfeit. History
indicates that an increased circulation
Of money, which afterwards may prove
fundamentally bad, has for a time a
highly stimulating effect, but it is an |
and dangerous stimulation.
And has the same effect on industry |
and commerce as alcohol has on NOR
'lity. The point of excessive cireula-
lion of that kind of money is never as
'ertained until the debauch is well ad.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1896-03-14

vanced and the reaction actually in
progress. It is the same as a man
drinking alcohol, he never knows that
he has had enough until the realization
is forced upon him by his friends that
he has got too much, and, then usually
his sensibilities are so enfeebled that he
is liable to take more If he can get it
Therein lies the danger of fiat money
It's liberal injectment into the arteries OF
commerce produces stimulation, prices
advance rapidly, there is a period Of
apparent prosperity. But the stimula-
tion is of character which requires
constant renewal. With the advance
of prices comes an increased demand
for money. Prices double, circulation
must be doubled; prices quadruple, cir
culation must be quadrupled, and the
process continues until the medium of
exchange loses all tangible value and
then comes the collapse. There is this
difference with metallic money. 1t can
not be produced without labor, and
when prices of other products advance
to given point, the production of the
metal becomes relatively improbable
and there is an abatement. People
quit digging for gold and silver and
20 to raising wheat and turnips or en-
gaging in some other line of industry.
Hence, in our judgment, of the right
kind of money there can not be too
much, of the wrong kind there can not
be too little.

But we suspect they are all frauds. we
have also seen an alleged expose OF the
oaths and secrets of the Mormon en-
dowment house, and, in fact, have ac'
tualIy seen an alleged expose Of Roman
Catholicism, notably Father Chinlquys
work, which, if we were to believe in It's
entirety, would give us very poor
opinion of the Romish church. Now
is itnot probable that man who will
violate solemn oath in one case, Is
liable to tell a miserable lie in another

Our delightful old Populist friend
Mr.. -, of this city, hands THE
TRIBUNE the following for publication
with the remark that it is Populism
straight:
Yes, Bro. TaubeneCk, we offered you
space lin the Monthly Sentinel, not the
Weekly Sentinel and we are always
glad to print anything you may send us
as we always have done. But we Of
fered you space for particular pur-
pose. We said:
In your three columns of reply it is
strange that you do not tell us what
good silver did US during the irving
years from 1860 to 1870. Not a line;
not word. You tell US of the good
things we may have, but it is strange
you cannot take even six lines to tell us
of any ten years between 1892 and 1879
while we were just rollicking in the
simon pure "free and unlimited"0 eoual
to that between 1860 and 1870, when all.
yer was skulking away with its twin
brother gold.
II you will give US three columns
more on these points we will gladly
print it. If you have not the time per.
haps some of your great silver cham.
plons will undertake the Job. But do
not dodge the question. For one HIM
dred years has there been such magni.

saw from 1862 to 1873, when. we did not

CLEVELAND did not fire wide of the
mark when he said that grog shop
marked the first approach of civiliza-
ton in the west. The difference he
tween the west and the east is this: In
the west as civilization advances, the
saloon reccdes; in the east both institu-
tions grow at equal pace and are en-
gagged in an eternal struggle for suprem-
acy with cards and spades in favor of
CleYeland's pet city.
