"HAaD MoNEY"-How AIuoH THERE

"HARD MONEY MUCH THERE
Is OF IT. AND WHERE IT Is.-The
director of the mint at Philadslbhia,
in his annual report. says that Of gold
and silver the total estimated stock in
the country at the end ct Inne laat was
found to be $166. .846, 228. The worlds
stock of precious metals is from
$4,000, 100000 to $4,000, 600, 600,
equally divided as to the two metals.
or this amount. the director of the
mint at Paris asserts that France pos
sesses in gold money $1,000, 200. 600.
and in fail-valued silver $500, 600, 600.
The present annual production of gold
throughout the world is estimated at
100000. 900, and of silver at $50. .O00,-
600, giving an addition to the aoou-
mulated stock of ~ per cent. per nm
mum. The rate OF production is un-
questionably diminishing. and rs three
countries of Europe-Russia, Austria
and Italy--have. like ourselves. not
even begun TO collect gold for the re-
sumption OF payments in coin, there is
very little ohanoe of prices suffering in
this century any imitation from a re-

A very large party of Kansas immi-
grants have recently reached Bladon
County, North Carolina, where they
have determined to make their future
home. They were formerly residents
of an Eastern State, but yielded to the
late Mr.. Greeley's advice to ''go West"
and settled in Kansas, where the grass
hoppers successfully disputed their
right to the soil. The new settlers
announce themselves as the advance
guard for O large body Of returning
Western immigrants.
Many years ago the city of Balti-
more invested So. 259, 900 in the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, and raised
the money by issuing bonds at six per
cent. interest. The annual dividends
upon the stock thus held by the city
have long been ten per cent, leaving
a clear profit of $13O. 600 year for
the benefit of taxpayers. Good spec.

Referring to the death of the New

says: ''Since 1886. when the Express
started, we have seen in this city over
100 daily journals give up the ghost;
and yet the passion for printing news
papers and sinking money in them was
never greater than at present."
