Oficial Paper of Tlasca County and the Village of Grand Repids. | Currency Inflation, , Reference was made in these col- umns yesterday to the Philadelphia Record’s classing of gold as a com- modity, a remarkable position to be assumed by a gold standard organ, in view of its utterences in the last presi- dential campaign, Now comes the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune, an- other gold organ, declaring that-the currant advance in prices is not due to speculation nor the trusts, but to inflation of the currency, ‘The Com- mercial-Tribune, after quoting the statement made by the director of the mint that the currency in the United States has been expanded $200,000,- coo in gold during the last fiscal year, says: “There is much in this for sober reflection, and the man who notes will be ‘the one to profit, _ It shows almost to a certainty that the present new range of prices in all staple has not been brought about by speculation, nor by the sinster in- fluence of trusts. tis occasioned by the new inflatyon and it is not reason- able to suppose that there will be a material decline until new conditions arise, such as great over production, or what is. the same thing, marked decrease in consumption. The boom in business is a natural result of the gold inflation over the whole world. Whether or not it has reached the flood point is a matter for guesswork, but that the old prices will prevail, for a time at least, is all but a certainty.” Only a few months ago and the idea that the volume of money had any influenee on prices was being ridiculed and held up to scorn by all of this class of journals. Their admis- sions now are in strong contrast to their mdiculovs claims in behalf of the single gold standard and in opposi tion to bimetailism a short time ago.— Duluth Evening Herald.
