ESTRADA INVITES CAPITAL
Nicaraauan Leader Gives Free Entry
to Mining Machinery and \
Materials.

New Orleans, Feb. S.-With view
of inducing capital to enter Nicaragua,
an edict has been issued by Gen., Es-
trada, nominally the provisional presi
dent of Nicaragua, permitting the free
entry of machinery and materials of
every character for the mining indus
try. This announcement was made
by the consul of the provisional gov
eminent here. Because the entire
east coast of Nicaragua is under the
Estrada rule aqd the exempted ar
pticles in the main are imported along
this coast, the order is tantamount to
a government ruling.

Managua, Feb. Seems. Mena and
Chamorro of the revolutionary army,
have reorganized their forces and are
now only 40 miles east of Managua,
and within an easy two-days' march Of
the capital.
Reports Are "Doctored."
The reports of government sue
cesses, it is now feared, are all doc
tored" by the government authorities,
and the plight Of President Madriz'
army is believed to be far worse than
the early dispatches indicated.
Late dispatches throw different
light on the reported defeat of the rev
dictionary army at Santo Tomas.
Gen. Mena suffered an initial reverse
at, Santo Tomas. but in the real en-.
gagement at Lagarita, near the heights
of Santo Tomas, the revolutionary
army was victorious.
Foreigners Are Warned.
The government is making frantic
efforts to organize an efficient fighting
force to defend Managua, but there are
not more than GOO soldiers available
All foreigners have been warned tt
seek safety in the Legations.

During the past week there has
been nothing doing in the Baliinger-
Pinchot inquiry. The committee adj
journed long enough to give the adj
ministration time to employ counsel
and permit counsel, SO employed, to
become familiar with the case.
According to all reports President
Taft is greatly dissatisfied with the
name. in which the investigation
has thus far been conducted, and he
is largely responsible for the en-
ployment of counsel to represent Bal
linger and other administration Of
ficials.
The connection between Ballinger

contributions to Taft,s campaign fund
was becoming embarrasslngly appar
en., and something had to be done to
head off that feature of the enquiry.

WHY PRICES ARE HIGH.

Some contend that the increases
in the tariff are solely responsible for
the large increase in the prices of
nearly everything since the enact
ment Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
While it is true that the increases
caused by the tariff law of 1909, have
helped to increase the general
movement toward higher prices all
along the line, it is not true that the
tariff is primarily, or principally re-
sponsible for the uniformally high
price Of nearly every commodity.
Prices are high or low according to
the volume Of money in the country.
There are some exceptions to this
rule, as there are to almost every
other rule, but the exceptions prove
the truth rather than a denial of
the rule.
In 1896, after scarce money policy
had been in vogue for score of
years, the circulating medium of the
country had been hammered down
about one-third, and the price of
commodities steadily fell as the
volume Of money contracted. Dur
ing that period the shrinkage in
our volume of standard money was
I largely due to the war upon silver
coinage. But the campaign of 1896
was a great public educator. 1t taught
the nation the truth of the quantita-
tive theory of money. While the ad-
vocatss of that money theory did
not elect their presidential candi
date. they convinceds their adver
saries of that for Which they con
tended.
The campaign of 1886 put an emf
y Il 4 Il.
to the war upon treasury notas, o.
greenback money 1t put an end tt
the scarce money, policy which hat
afflicted the country for SO many
years. Since 1896 no administra
tlon has tried in any way tt
contract the currency of thu
country, and several things have con
tributed to its increase, chief o
which has been the great increas
in the production of gold.
When silver mining became un
profitable, by reason of adverse leg
islation, many silver miners becam
gold miners, and for numbe
Of years past the productio
OF gold alone has greatly exceede
the production of both gold and sil
yer prior to and during the demonet
cation period. This flood of gold ha
greatly inefeased our per capita circ
1ation. In other words, it has length
ened out the measure of Values.
When the money of a, country
doubled without any increase in tn
country's commodities, the money ii
crease doubles the price of commod
tiles. Many can recall the disastrou
conditions caused by the shrinkin
of our money measure during the al
ministrations of Harrison and Cley'
land. During that period the va
ues Of commodities continued to ia
because the scarce money men wer

are on the other tack and that i
