Monetary Supremacy of France.
tBy Lorenzo Castro.l

France, In 1886, possesses quantity OF
coined gold. equal to one.fOurth OF all
the gold coin In the world. A di,t'n-
guished French writer says In the year
1885. the gold and silver coin then In ex-
istence. was estimated at 81 billion, OF
which Is billion WAS OF gold.
In 1913, the stock OF coin In France
WAS estimated at 400 million gold, and
1880 million In silver.
What has become OF that stock In
1885. We find g lid 400 million, 2,5OO
silver, taking the lowest estimate.
The United States, England.
and India, are the only countries
tuat can be compared to France,
when metallic wealth 10 considered

Of the United States, India and China,
one can appreciate how great Ia the
wealth Of the precious metals accumu-
lated IN France. Something strange Is.

that metallic wealth. France Is the
