'tThe figures are given iii round
numbers, and are drawn from the
statistics presented in detail in the
preceding chapters, or are estimates
based upon the latest statistics and
information that could be obtained.
The amount of production for each
country is stated by value in dollars,
not by weight, for nearly all the re-
turns of production of North and
South America are made by value

then is kr0wn, and the amount in

"Mr. Blake thinks that the supply
of gold is diminishing, and gold will
appreciate. | think the contrary,

OF historians and philosophers. Not
