The gold product is again agitating
Europe, the melting cause being the
excessive coinage now being turned
out by the German Empire. The
money markets of all Europe, it
would appear, are being seriously dis
turbed, and there is much apprehen-
sion on the score of the future de
mands for bullion by the German
Government. This has led to an in
vestigation by the great financial jour
nal of London, The Economist, into the
quantity of the precious metal now
available, and the yearly additions to
it's bulk.
The aggregate product of all the
gold mines of the world since lS48 is
set down at $2,742, zoe, 900. The total
stock of gold in 1913 was estimated at
81, 800. 000, 900, or about the same guam
tity as has been mined during the past
twenty-seven years. The wear and
tear and casual losses to the coinage of
the world are estimated at Sl5, 200 900
per year, the loss for the twenty-seven
years thus reaching an average of
S405. 200, 900. The existing stock OF
gold in the commercial world should,
therefore, somewhat exceed $780,
OOO, 900. There would appear to be no
means of a%scertaining, with any degree
of accuracy, how much of this enor-
nous sum Is in the shape of gold coin
age at present.
As to the annual product, its maxi
mum was reached in the year 1886.
when the aggregate was $3.50, 900 900. OF
this amount, the United States contrib
uted $4,000, 900, Australia $40, 0o0, 900,
and Russia SIS, O00, 900. The estimated
product of last year reached only
500, $50, 900, sor but little more than the
product of 1856. OF last years pro-
duct, the United States contributed
only $50, 900 900, or only two-tifths o.
the quantity mined in 1856; and Aus
tralia only S43, $4,000, or less than
three tifihs of the product of eighteen
years before; while Russia turned out
S22, SOC, 900, or an increase OF one-half.
There are grave apprehensions that
this large decrease in the gold supply
will seriously interfere with the settle
ment ofinternational exchanges, which
constantly are extending through the
extraordinary development of the

ELIZABETH MAX rs A STATE.
MENT.

Under the laws of. New York, Eliza
beth has no legal right to be heard in
the great scandal. 1t is a barbarous
code that makes this distinction. There
can be NO question that she has as
much at stake IS either Beecher or
Tilton, both of whom have had their
say. But poor, weak Mrs. T., the lit
tie, unattractive creature, Is debarred
tho privilege of saying n word in her
own defense. In all Of the prelimin-
ary examinations before the Church
Committees the great lecherous Beech
or said IL was all Elizabeth's fault;
that she tempted him, and that the
flesh, influenced by the Devil, was
weaker than the spirit aided by the
Holy Ghost. That was Beecher's po-
sitIon In the preliminary stages of the
scandal. It is true that he partially
went back on this theory, and while in
the witness box betrayed some few
symptoms Of true manhood. AT that
late day he seems to have realized that
It was his province to do all in his
power to shield his weak and vacil-
lating victim. He should have done
that same from the start, instead of
blubbering before the Investigating
Committee of Plymouth Church. Til
ton, too, has tried s~trenuously to in
eulpats the wife of his bosom. He
was driven to this position the mo-
ment he instituted proceedings against
the renowned Henry Ward. His whole
case IN court depended upon establish
ing the guilt Of Henry and Elizabeth.
30 in every phase of the case since its
inception, the poor woman has had the
worst Of it. Her lips, by the unjust
statutes Of the State, were hermet
ically sealed. Not mi word could
she offer in justification of her own
reputation and conduct. All hands
were arrayed against her, and her
name has been traduced from one end
Of the country to the other. We con-
Tess that all of our synlpathies, all of
the "true inwardness" we feel in this
case, goes out to Elizabeth. She is fear
fully wronged; not that we mean to
say that she is moi guilty of gross i'm
proprieties with Beeoher, but because,
while all the others interested are al
lowed to give their version of the af-
fair, her testimony is ruled out for the
simple reason that she is a woman and
Q wife. Pernicious doctrine! Most
loathsome law!
Well, not to be wholly outdone,
Elizabeth has made q statement. She
wants . hearing before that jury, and
accordingly, as the telegraph informs,
on Monday she handed a written com
munication to Judge Nelson. The
Judge declined to show it to either re-
porters or lawyers, but agreed to take
she subject matter under advisement.

STOUT ENGLISH CIR Ls.-A correspond
ent of the Hartford Times, y writing from

damp, and as we sat by our blazing fire
and heard them 60 into their cold rooms
we pitied them so much that We opened
our door and invited them to share our
warmth and comfort; so they came in, and
we chatted together an the evening. Those
two bright, fresh-iooklng girls sat calmly
in their chairs and told us they had crossed
from Meiringen to the Rhone Glacier over
the Grimsel on foot the day before through
a foot OF snow; had walked nine miles
had climbed up all the way from Viesch to
the hotel on foot in rain that afternoon.
We looked at them aghast and murmured
sTired?' oh. no. they briskly chorused;
and, indeed, they did look most revoltingly
fresh and pretty. When we appeared in
the morning father (who always comes
into breakfast from out of doors, with a
blast of cold air, very much as if he had
slept on the nearest glacier announced
that those English girls started to walk
up to the summit of the Eggischhorn two
hours ago, and are coming back in line to
cross the Aletach Glacier to go to the Belle
Alp for the night. Before long they came
in, brisk and rosy as usual. oh, no; not
tired at all!'-and without waiting for
anything more than a lunch were off
again."

queer IN the extreme. The first witness
(Moulton) stated on the first day Of his
examination. and stuck to it, that he had
lied repeatedly for Beecher-to save him;
and vet the defence are spending days Of
time and dozens of witnesses to prove that
Moulton told people Beecher was inno-
cent. Tilton on his first day on the stand
stated that he didn't believe in the diyi-
nifty of the Saviour, and yet the defence
are producing column after column of evil
dence to prove the same thing. They seem
to be struggling to keep the evidence away
firm the main point, which is--not whether
Tilton is bad man, but is Beecher good
| one? aud il good. why 'ssitting on the rag
ged edge Of anxiety" That is the ques.
ton everybody, except the lawyers, is
