Had Some Cheaper.

Fred Sterry of the Palm Beach
Power Boat association was talking
about the high prices that motor
boats and automobiles bring.
For my part" he said, Il
don't object to these high prices.
The Workman is worthy OF his hire.
Fine things, rare things, would
not be fine and rare if they were
cheap.
I think the laborer is worthy
of his hire and / incline to SYM
pathize with a grocer's clerk whom
l once knew in the west.
This young man had a very
unbusinesslike scorn for hagglers
and bargainers. One day woman
entered the grocery and said:
What is the price of your
cheapest butter?'
Eighteen cents a pound
ma am, said the young man.
Oh, that's certainly too dear,
said the woman. Haven't you
anything cheaper
Well, said the young man,
we have some soft soap at 6 cents

The Gazette gets very excited
over our statement that the free
silver idea of 1896 has never had
a fair trial, and points to the fact
that we had free silver up to
1878. We thought there was not
an intelligent person anywhere
that did not know the difference
between the conditions prior to
1873 and after that time. Prior
to that time practically all ma
tions had the free silver coinage,
at a ratio of either Is to l or Isl
to l. In 1896 the European coun:
tries did not have the free silver
coinage, and it was the main
argument of the gold bugs that
this country could not maintain
the standard without the aid of
the European countries. 1t will
be remem bered that Mckinley
expressed himself in favor of
bimetallis m, provided the powers
Of Europe would agree to it, and
he even sent a commission over
to try to arrange for interna-
tional bimetallism. Thus both
platforms of 1896 were practic-
ally in favor of free silver; the
only question being whether or
not this country was big enough
to manage it's own monetary
matters, or was vassal of the
European powers. That ques-
ton has not been put to the prac-
tical test
The Gazette is very anxious to
discuss the silver question. We
must gently but firmly decline

cause g for i. II you had stopped
to think you would have known
that a desire for adornment is
universal in human nature. AS
women have for thousands of
years been kept in a very limited
sphere of action they have had
more time to attend to this de-
sire, and adornment has become
a vocation with them. Every
woman is brought up with the
idea that if she wishes to be any
body she must be in style. Hence
the arbiters of style have become
autocrats, and anything they
say goes. It is necessary part
of adornment that it shall be
novel; when the novelty has worn
off the article ceases to attract
attention and becomes common
place. Hence new ideas must
constantly be evolved, and in this
constant chase for novelty it is
no wonder that some very ridi-
culous ideas are used. But

as some Of the Gazette's argu-
ments, but it was the prescribed
thing, and it was therefore used.
If it was a ''craze". then all fash
ions are 'Ecrazes, and humanity
as a whole is permanently crazy.
With this we must leave the
Gazette to continue it's researches
in mental diseases. It seems to
have the ''craze'' for that, but we
cannot afford to waste any more
space on such nonsense.

PRODUCTION OF GOLD.

Dec. 81 contained remarkable
article on the gold problem-re-
markable because coming from
a republican paper which like all
others of it's kind, nine years ago
ridiculed the quantitative theory
of money. Itshows the wonderful
increase in gold production since
1895. In 1896 the production for
the first time crossed the $780,:
600, 900 mark. During the past
year the production reached ST.
600, 900 day and it is figured
that the total production for 1906
will not be less than $500, 600, 900.
The worlds stock of gold avail
able for coinage amounts to over
six billion dollars. About one
half of this has been produced
since 1895.
Following these statistics the
writer discusses the effect of the
increase of the money volume,
from which we quote the follow
ing:
cit is generally conceded that per-
iod of heavy production (of gold) cam
not fail to bring advancing prices in
the commercial world. Commodities
and merchandise of all kinds will be
in some degree affected. The general
average of prices will rise.
''History shows that, following the
discovery of America and the sending
back by the later Adventures of the
treasures of Mexico and Peru, great
wave of activity and advancing prices
swept over Europe. In the past CEN
fury the gold discoveries in California
and Australia had the same effect, in
proportion.
LAS the gold output increases-as
more gold comes into general use
commodity prices rise. Gold is like
any other commodity, it's value is
governed primarily by the supply and
demand for it. But it is difficult to
think of it in this connection, for, be-
ing the measure of all prices, and hav.
ing no price outside itself, it is sup.
posed by majority of people to be
stable. That dollar is always dol
jar is true. But dollar will not al
ways buy the same measure of the
necessaries or luxuries of life. The
fact is that gold rises and ia Is, and
SO, as the quantity in existence per
capita increases, gold becomes worth
less. But it does not appear this way.
Rather there is a generally higher
average of prices for all things sal
able or purchasable. Prices are high.
The cost of living has advanced. A
dollar will no longer go as far as it
formerly went. This is only another
way of saying that gold has fallen.
~''As the old year with it's 1915, O0O,-
600 OF new gold, ends, and 1906, with
it's promise of $4,000 $1,000 comes in,
the tendency for prices to rise is very
marked.
"From 1897, when prices were at
lowest point, to the beginning of 1906,
there has been an advance of 81
points,"
This is certainly good evidence
in favor of the q uantitative theory
of money. Our attention was
called to the article by DR.. John
son, one of the men whom the
Gazette included in it's list of
persons who were affected with
the ''craze" in 1896, and he made
the following remark which shows
that he is not yet convinced that
he was ''crazy." ''That proves
that we were right in demanding
more money, and that the pros
perity came not from the re-
publican party but from the
natural increase in the money
volume. .~

look at what private ownership

monopoly has done for the city.
I. It has occupied the streets
for more than eight years, setting
it's poles everywhere and cutting
shade trees to make room for the
wires, and has not paid a single
cent into the city treasury as a
franchise tax, although the net
profits must foot up into the
thousands annually.
