quantitative theory Of money insist,
that the amount of standard money in
the country controls the prices, then
this immense flood of gold now pouring
into the channels of commerce is the
perfect explanation of the rise in
prices; this rise marks but the deprecia-
tion in gold Whether this operation
of adjusting the depreciation of gold
to the increase in prices acts in the
way of increasing the coinage supply
or acts upon the gold directly as a
commodity is immaterial, so long as the
same result is reached and prices rise
as the gold supply swells, But whether
one theory or the other is correct, there
is certainly direct relationship involv-
ed; for the rise in prices, as experience
has shown, invariably comes when the
gold produc. assumes high proportions;
and prices fail when the quantity of
gold shrivels, either relatively or alb
solutely The scarcity of gold in the
period ending in 1897 caused the shrink
age In prices, just as the great flood of
gold is now causing their expansion.

1t was thought on the discovery of
gold in California and Australia that
there would be such an oversupply of
the yellow metal that il would lose its
value. And it did decrease the value
of gold so that there was a general
rise in prices Of commodities of about 20
per cent, which easured the compari
tive depreciation of gold; and yet that
gold output was small, measured by the
enormous output of the present years
The continued gold yield Of California,
Australia, and all the world besides
averaged but sl33, ,2os 900 year in
the decade of 1851 to 1860, the years Of
the first great discoveries and produc-
ton But pow we have an annual out
put of over s4o0, 900, or three times
as much.
Does this enormous yield of gold
affect the price Of commodities 1t
is the universal opinion that prices
have increased largely, and econo-
mists readily accept the explanation
that the added gold supply causes the
increase. According to the "Index
Number" there have been a great in

specie payments, it stood at 800 year.
From then onward (say from 1877 to
1897 there was steady downward
the latter year TO 30 or 35 per cent.
Then there was an upward turn in the
movement of the Index number, until
that number now stands at figure
about as much above the normal mark
as it fell below it in 1897.

A PARALLEL CASE.

When you refer to the conflict that
we had with the general government
during Territorial days, | ask you TO
witness that that controversy was not
of our making" said the Hon Brigham
H. Roberts on Sunday.
No? That hierarchicaI expression is
very, very stale one; and it is Just as
very, very untrue as it is very. very
state.
Why not permit a comparison7 We
all know the grounds upon which the
Roberts presentation Of injured inno-
cence is made. Let us suppose that
man stole horse, and was punished for
doino so. Then let us imagine that
when he had been shown the error Of
his way, and had paid the proper pen
atty, he should say that at the time
he broke the law he entertained GER
tain religious belief, This religious be.
lief, he would inform you, urged him
to conclude that if his neighbor had
two horses, and he had none, he felt
himself justified in taking one of those
belonging to that neighbor. His re-
ligion called that act equalization, +"
for instance; or, that according to the
primitive Christian practice he copsci-
entiously believed that property ought
to be held in common and he consid-
cred that so long as he conducted his
practice under the authority Of his re-
ligious belief, the Constitution of the
limited States would protect him in TINT
practice. He would defend himself in

TAKES, BUT WON'T HOLD.

We believe in law and order and In be
ing subject Ia kings and presidents, in
honoring and magnifying the law.
Such was the self praise of Mr., Rob
erts, in the midst Of his coarse attack
upon the Christian ministry, and the
Christian churches of the world. But
what a different picture is presented in
the Roberts and the Smith testimony
at Washington! There Brigham II.
Roberts confessed to the House com
mittee that he had willfully broken the
law by marrying a third wife, under
standing at the time that the marriage
was an illegal one. That is the kind
Of law and order in which Roberts and
his polygamous friends believe. Roberts
did not even have sufficient respect for
the two wives whom he had previously
married to either ask their consent to
the third union, or to notify them that
il was 10 occur. He treated them as
polygamists must, in the very nature
Of things, treat women-merely as his
slaves.
Even in that very speech, Elder Rob
erts angrily stated his intentional oppo-
sition to law and order, when he de-
clared that he would live in defiance
Of the statute. and that the community
might make the most of it. But that
did not prevent him from exercising
the usual hierarchical hypocrisy. 1t is
a regular habit with the high priests
Of the Mormon church to openly defy
the law and then to praise themselves,
and one another, as the most law abid-
ing people in the land,
Among the men TO whom Roberts
referred as such angels of righteous.
ness, is Joseph T. Smith. When he was
at Washington Smith confessed to more
criminality than all the others of the
ecclesiasts put together, Yet he is
upheld By Roberts and the Mormon
people as the supreme law giver to the
church; as an exemplar to all the world.
Roberts lavished his praise upon the
prophet while yet he knew that he was
living a lawless life; that he was
spreading illegitimacy. throughout the
community; that he is engaged in rob-
berry Of the poor OF the church; that he
defrauds widows and orphans; that he
constantly breaks most solemn prom.
ise to the country; that not day passes
but he writes, prints or utters the most
brazen falsehood; that he works treason
against his country; that he viciously
insults his neigbbors by openly practic,
ing his orientalism, and by sneeringly
daring them to attempt to prevent him
from go doing,
Aud Brigham H. Roberts is in pre-.
eisely the same category with Joseph
F. Smith. He points to him as being
man Of Coda man after God s
own heart. He assists Smith to hold
his power over the people. He helps
Joseph F. to rob the poor, and is him
self a beneficiary of the sinful gain.
But realizing al of these things, Rob
erts has the audacity to claim for him
self and his polygamous pals the purest
sentiments of respect for law and love
for good order.

A QUEER SQUARE DEAL"
The Tribune has, from a Utah man,
the following pertinent queries:

Moab. Utah, June 10, 1907.
Editor Tribune:-The leaders and Of
hcers OF the Western Federation OF
crime, and the people generally are pa.
tiently waiting for the trial TO determine
their guilt or innocence. The rulers and
(some under OATH to a very grave crime.
and TO a determination TO continue It's
practice.
The President hastens 10 classify the
Western Federal tion OF Miners officers as
undesirable citizens" but says nothing
about the president and leaders OF the
Mormon church
would like TO see the President recon
cile his position with his demand for
square deal MOABITE.
Replying TO the above, we would say
that though the President s attack upon
of Miners while they were under arrest
and about to be tried for their lives,
was in the very worst taste and might
have been extremely damaging to their
prospects, it appears that no man In
Idaho, who was called upon the jury to
try Haywood was Influenced in any de-
gree by the Presidents s denunciation
of the defendant.
AT the same time, in all candor, we
must agree with our correspondent that
while being so free to dcnounce those
who had not yet been convicted Of any
thing, and who had not admitted any
criminality, he showed wanton par
tiality against them and in favor Of the
hicrarchic law breakers Of Utah who not
only openly and under oath confessed
to their crimes, but openly and bla-
tantly boast about them and loudly pro-
claim TO the world that they intend to
continue their lives of vice and troa~
son.
1t would seem as If the President, If
he desires to maintain his reputation
for wanting a "square deal' all
around, ought to revise his opinions and
expressions as to these two cases. He
denounces the officers of the Western
Federation Of Miners who have not been
proved guilty of any crime, and openly
allies himself with the reasonable
chiefs of the Mormon church who boast
Of their crimes and of their determina-
tiou to continue in them. What sort
of Hsquare deal is this

the assertion that he was only living
his religion, and was not indulging in
horse stealing at all. If, after a few
years, he was called upon to defend his
former act, after conviction, and he
were to say, ''When you refer to the
controversy which / had with the law
in my former career, ] ask you to wit,
ness that that controversy was not Of
my making - what would you think
was in his head7
Mr.. Roberts is respectfully informed
that in the United States, the crime of
bigamy, under any other name, or
guisc, is equally malodorous, and is,
and always was, especially when il was
introduced in Illinois, distinctly a
breach of the law.
