Facts About Gold.

1t would not be surprising if the silver
question should settle itself 1t is IN
doubtedly the fact that the low price of
silver is due to overproduction For four
or five years before the decline in the
price of silver became so great that the
mining Of it became Improbable, except
in very rich mines, the production was
enormous. Owing to the new and cheaper
methods for treating the ore the output
steadily increased.
During the last year the production of
silver fell off and that of gold increased.
The amount of gold produced in 1898, &C
cording to the report of Mr.. Preston. the
director of the mint, which has just been
issued, was the largest ever known. The
view urged by the silverites that the pro-
duction of gold has not increased rela-
lively with the population of the world,
is refuted by this report.
The United States still hold the first
place among the gold producing countries.
The amount taken from this country's
mines in 1898 was, approximately, $685.
$4,000, being nearly S., goo COO more than
in 1892.
The production of silver in this country
in 1898, was 6O,OOOOOO ounces, of the
coming value of S77 ,575, 757, being $780,
600 ounces less than in 1892 and having a
coming value of about "a, SOC, 900 less.
In coin, bullion and ore there was i'm
ported into the United States in 1898
S13, 3S0,575 in gold, and during the same
timethe gold exports amounted to $780,
Ol0633. The exports therefore exceeded
the imports nearly s., 100000
Mr.; Preston says that in 1898 the gold
production of the whole world amounted
l6.OS per cent. more than the annual av-
erage of the period of the greatest produc-
tiveness of the gold mines of California
and Australia; 'that the value of the
gold product of the world in 1893 was only
S.57 per cent. less than that of the aver
age aggregate gold and silver production
of the world in 1916: that the average
value of the total gold and silver produc-
tion of the world for the period of eight
years-lS66 to 1S73-whlch just preceded
the beginning of the depreciation of silver
was only S35, 100000 more than that of
the gold output alone of 1898"
Mr.. Preston makes the further remark
able statement that it is his opinion,
based upon reliable information, that the
value of the worlds output of gold in
1894 will equal that of both metals in
the years 1S6l-65, and in 1895 or 1896 it
will equal that of the years Immediately
preceding the beginning of the deprecia-
ton of silver, thai is, the average of
1S66-13 inclusive, and, that in 1897 it will
be greater than such average that the
value of gold alone available, in 1898 for
monetary purposes, was greater than the
total value of both gold and silver availa-
BILE for monetary purposes in the years
just preceding the beginning of the de-
probation of silver" Assuming that
the foregoing figures are correct, it does
not look as if the production of gold is
not increasing relatively with the popula-
ton of the world. The figures also
Justify the conclusion that gold and silver
will not be so far apart in a few years as
they are now.

Sugar Trust Profits.

II MIR. Havemeyer, the president of the
sugar trust, tells the truth the republi-
cans are trying to mislead the people by
asserting that the proposed sugar sched-
ule in the pending tariff bill is an outrage
upon them. In answer to a ques-
ton he said that the profits of the sugar
trust under the tariff bill now before the
Senate would be about one-fourth of those
made under the Mckinley tariff.
The republicans have been declaring
all along that the sugar schedule of the
pending bill is more favorable to the
sugar trust than the sugar schedule in
the Mckinley tariff. If that is true, why
did they not make it appear so when they
had Mr.. Havemeyer on the witness stand?
II does not appear that the republican
members of the investigating committee
asked him a question on that point.
Were they afraid to do so} 1t is a fair in
ference that they were.
The question as to the profits of the
trust was asked by democratic senator,
who evidently was anxious for informa-
tion. If under the proposed sugar
schedule the profits of the trust will be
only one-fourth what they are now, the
democrats will render the people a real
service by adopting the pending sugar
schedule.
1t will not be forgotten, of course, that
the republicans are responsible for the
sugar schedule in the Mckinley tariff.
Why they gave the trust such enormous
profits they do not say. They do not
touch that point when they try to make
it appear that under the pending tariff
bill the trust is treated with extraor-
binary liberality.
1t may be true that under the pending
bill the trust is given more than it should
have, but there is some satisfaction in the
knowledge that if the pending bill is
passed the trust will make only about
one-fourth of the profits it is making now
under the tariff adopted by the repub-
hcans.
The investigation has practically
amounted to nothing. No one of the
charges made by the republican papers
has been proven. On the contrary, all of
them have been shown to have no founda-
ton. Mr. Havemeyer stated positively
that the trust gave nothing to the national
campaign funds of either party in 1892.
BY this he did not mean that individual
members of the trust had contributed
nothing to those funds. 1t is probable
that members did contribute to both the
democratic and republican campaign
funds. Mr.. Havemeyer said that the
trust had contributed to local campaign
funds. In making that statement he
gave no information that was new, and it
has no bearing upon the pending investi-
cation.

How will senators vote on the income
tax That question is now attracting
some attention. 1t has been claimed that
nearly all the democratic, and twenty of
the republican senator's would vote for it.
A Washington dispatch says that only
seven republicans will vote for it, These
seven senator's are Mitchell Of Oregon,
Teller and Wilcott of Colorado, Petit
grew of South Dakota, Hansbrough, of
North Dakota, Power of Montana, and
Dubois of Idaho. Added to these are
the populists, PETER of Kansas, and
Stewart of Nevada. Stewart was
eleated as republican. Senator Smith,
Of New Jersey, is given as authority for
for the statement that about eight demo-
cratic senator's win vote against it. 1t is
hardly probable that the income tax pro-
vision of the tariff bill will be reached
before the last of this month
