Other causes have conoributed In less

The reader must also bear In mind
what the "quantitative theory" act
ually really is. 1t is not that prices
depend solely upon the quantity of
money; but that prices will be fixed
and controlled by the quantity of mon
ey in circulation, compared with the
quantity Of goods and property for sale
and the demand for each.
All of these elements play an impor-
tant part, If something extraordinary
occur to create an unusual demand for
commodities in general, or for some
commodities in particular, Of course
their prices will rise even though the
amount of money in existence aud the
quantity OF commodities remain sub

money ceases to be desirable for hoard
ing. II is withdrawn from its hiding
places and begins to perform the legit-
innate functions of money by ctfecting
exchanges and paying debts.
But no matter how high prices may
go under the stimulus of some sudden,
extraordinary demand, it is perfectly
clear that if in addition to the money
thus brught out and thrown into cir
culation, there shonld also be large
accession of entirely new money, prices
would go still higher. The more mou-
ey people have the more they can af-
ford to pay, and the more they will
have to pay If they are determined to
buy. BY this it is not meant that a
rich man will have to pay more for
given article than poor one will, but
simply that if all were poor the price

it should also be clear that with

there is a point beyond which average
prices cannot rise. They may fall in.
definitely because more and more mon
ey may be withdrawn from circulation;
but when it is all in circulation, all be-
ing exchanged for property, and sus-
tanning the full volume of credit that
it can safely carry it is doing all that
it can do, and prices will go no higher,
save through dangerous expansion
of credit.
This, of course, would be followed
by speedy crash and prices would
fall again.

THE RISE OF PRICES.
WHY PRICES WENT UP SINCE
WAR BEGAN.
rhe Government has put In Circulation
Many Million Dollars which was
Formerly Lying Idio and new Money
WIN DO Issued and Coined.

Since the actual commencement OF
y hostilitics there has been marked up
ward movement OF prices on certain
things, while there has been but very
small increase of money in the coun-
try, and we have been asked II these
facts do not tend strongly to over
throw the "quantitative theory"
Certainly not AS there has been
frequently stated in this Journal, pri-
res do not depend upon the total
amount Of money in the country, but
upon the total amount in actual cir
eulation.
Money that Is boarded away doing
uothing might rs well be at the bottom
Of the sea for all the effect it has upon
prices and business. There is always
some money not in use.
No matter how small the supply may
be in given country, every individual
will act according to his own instincts
and Judgment as to what he shall do
with his money, Some will invest 1t
In business-some will hoarde it away.
Some men are natural misers, aud
many are timid about investing their
money.
In times Of business depression when
prices are falling, the disposition to
hoard money becomes very much
stronger and characterizes many more
people. In such times those who arc
in no sense misers will lay their money
away because it is more profitable to
do so than to invest it in BUSINESS on a
falling market. When prices are go
ing down money is necessarily going
up. If average prices fall per cent
in IL year, the money which man has
laid away will buy per cent more at
the end of the year than il would ut
the beginning, He has realized fair
INTEREST on his money without taking
any chances upon the vicissitudes of
business.
On the other hand, if he had invested
in some productive enterprise he would
have lost.
The fact is well known that from
1873 down to q very recent date we
have been dong business almost con-
tinuously upon q falling market. Con-
sequently people have been deferred
from investing their money except in
bonds, mortgages, etc, upon gilt
edged security. This has forced prices
still lower.
1t is evident, therefore, that any
thing that tends to bring money out of
its hiding-places and throw it into the
channels of trade, will have the effect
of raising prices, unless tho supply of
other things should increase pro rota.
In the case suggested two elementa
ut once come into play, the tendency
of which is to raise prices; First, there
is more money in circulation; and, Sec
ond, as prices begin to rise credit nat
urally expands, because credit is nj
ways better on rising market than
on u falling one. and this acts as u re-
enforcement of the money supply send
ing prices still higher.
Now to apply these principles to tho

ANOTHER BUNCo VICTIM.

An Ephraim Republican by the name
of Fisher informs the Salt Lake Trib-
une that "the action of the Salt Lake
county Republicans in endorsing free
coinage, protection and reciprocity,
meets with general approval among Re-
publicans of this town"
Mr.. Fisher has been deceived. The
bunco-steerers may tally one more vic
tim. That free coinage endorsement is
nothing but package of sawdust. EX-
animation will show that it isn't in the
call Read It again:
All who believe in silver, protection
and reciprocity, and in working for
these vital interests within the ReDUb-
lican party, and who endorse the mag
nifieent record of President William
Mckinley in his conduct of public af-
fairs, are invited to participate in the
primaries.

coinage IN that call. Goldbugs all be-
lieve IN silver. in a certain use of it;

tains bare suggestion of hope to sill

cession from the goldites It is q gem
of diplomatic art, masterpiece Of am
biguity.
Administration Republicans have
doubly fortified themselves, however. in
that party call. Not only is nothing

but, in case an IMPLIED promise ,nicht
be claimed, the further safeguard is
thrown about the single STANDARD. Re-

IT WILL NOT BE FAIR.

For the Tribune to state a PROPOSE
ton fairly, or to define the position of
an adversary honestly, seems out Of
the question.
The Herald said: while it would
not be fair to question the sincerity of
our morning contemporary for support
ing the Republican organization prior
to 1896, it is with some misgiving that
we note it's present position in the state
Republican organization.
The Tribune says in response: THE
Herald is sure that it was consistent
when it was supporting silver and Gro
yer Cleveland, but that the Tribune is
inconsistent when supporting silver and
claiming to be Republican
When Cleveland was a candidate the
silver question was not an issue be-
tween the parties. His opponent was
as much of a goldbug as he was. The
Tribune supported his opponent and
The Herald has said that cit would not
be fair to question the sincerity of our
morning contemporary for supporting
the Republican organization prior to
1885,
If the Tribune were disposed to be
honest O. would note that distinction.
To turn from Grover Cleveland to Ben
Harrison would mean absolutely moth
ing for the cause of silver.
But now the case is different. Silver
is an issue between the parties. One
party has declared for bimetallism; the
other has declared for gold The Demo-
cratic party stands for silver coinage.
The Republican party stands for the
single standard. The Herald sup
ports the silver party. The Tribune
has announced it's allegiance to the Re
publican party.
Ordinarily the Tribune isn't so anx-
ious to review its past. That present
must be questionable, indeed, to make
the past preferable.

A GENTLEMAN OF VIVID RE
MEMBRANCE.

A gentleman who keeps a vivid re-
membrance of the late municipal fight,
writes TO a friend in this city: What?
are you still hearing the Democratic
cry for silver to help that party2
thought the city campaign from that
partisan standpoint was fought on the
basis that the silver cause would be
eternally ruined if Mr.. Dale failed of
election as mayor Now that we are
reminded of it, we believe that was
both the cry and concession of the
Democratic partisans at that time.
But then their silver concern is for
campaign purposes only, and always
has been.
This gentleman must be equal, if not
superior 10, seven watchers upon a
tower The Democrats never pretended
that the silver cause would be "eter-
nally ruined if Mr.. Dale failed to be
elected mayor" The gentlemans re-
membrance does not appear to be so ae-
curate as vivid, or he would never have
talked in such a wild and reckless
manner
The Democrats said the silver issue
very properly entered into the munich
pal campaign, and no doubt this gentle
man of the vivid remembrance said that
it did not And it did. A few weeks
ago it was proposed that the city issue
$780, 900 in bonds. The question arose
in the council whether the bonds should
be lawful money or gold. That was
bringing the silver question home to
the people of this city as much as
when Mr. Cleveland desired that con-
gress authorize the issue of gold bonds
brought it home TO the people of the
United States Every member of the
city council, for whose election the gen.
tleman of vivid remembrance and cur
contemporary worked, voted in favor OF
issuing gold bonds. The nefarious
scheme was thwarted through the Wig
lance of the Democratic members of
the council, who were elected on the
ticket which Mr.. Dale headed, and The
Herald.
The silver question has no place in
municipal politics, has it?

"a silver Republican this year is not

COULD NOT STAND ALONE.

We asked our morning contemporary
why did the silver Republicans dis
band and abandon the fusion move
ment? viii our morning contemporary
be so good as to tell us and an anxious
public why?'
To this our contemporary answers
that it does not know of any reason
save that the Democrats utterly re-
fused such an alliance. Not long since
our contemporary was saying that only
q. few Democratic leaders, who did not
represent the true sentiment of the
party, were opposed to fusion.
If the silver Republican party dis
banded because the Democrats utterly
refused to fuse, then was not the sole
reason for the existence of such
party to strike bargains with other
parties, to perform the part Of a po-
litical blackmailer? 1t would certainly
so seem. If the party had been as de-
voted to principle as was claimed, it
would not have disbanded, but would
have carried on the fight. 1t would
also have done the same thing had its
numbers been anything like what was
claimed.
The silver Republican party disband-
ed because Of its Inherent weakness.
There was no place for it. 1t claimed to
champion a principle that is cardinal
with the Democrats, and that was re-
pudiated by the Republican party in
national convention When it asked
the Democrats to enter into a fusion
arrangement it practically asked that
they. with every prospect Of success,
give 20 the silver Republicans the high
est Office in the state. We do not say
the silver Republicans had no interest
in advancing the silver cause when
they advocated fusion, but we do say
that they had a far greater interest in
the senatorial candidate who was to
benefit from fusion.
But the reason for the disarmament
given by our contemporary shows that
the silver Republican party did not
have strength enough TO stand alone.

CERTAINLY {!

Were the silver question to be set
tied tomorrow. The Herald next morn
ing would be just where it was this
morning. except that its silver slogan
would be dropped" says our morning
Contemporary.
Certainly! And why shouldn't it be?
The silver question settled. what would
be the use Of continuing the discussion
Of and fight for it? Such a course
would he. a waste of energy and could
not possibly avail anything.
The silver question settled, which
means theS free, unlimited and indie
pendent coinage of silver established.
why should The Herald or anyone else
continue to make it a slogan? And the
question settled. why should not The
Herald be the same the morning after
it was settled that it was the morning
before? It most certainly would be.
for it IS a Democratic paper. and is
anxious to see all Democratic principles
triumph.
Our contemporary wants to know
what difference it win make. so far as
the silver cause is concerned, whether
a Democrat or Republican is elected
to the senate or to the house. 1t makes
this difference: a Democratic senator
and representative would always act
with the party that is pledged to sill
yer, which would be q guarantee that
they would always vote for all meas
ureg calculated to advance the i-:ter-
ests OF silver. while the election of a
