"OVER PRODUCTION OF SILVER
THE GREAT BUGBEAR.

| From the Minneapolis Penny Press.
Among many other declarations Of a
| similar character the Sunday Tribune of
| Minneapolis contained the following sem
fences:
ut may wen be doubted II internation-
al bi-metallism would now restore the
| commercial price of silver to the old ratio
| of 16 to l in the face of the enormously in
creasing production.
"The latest report shows a large in
crease in the production of silver in 1894
in spite of the declining quotation.
"What would the increase be IL the
price were double and more thar double
throughout the world?
Director of the Mint Preston has
made his final estimate Of the produc-
| ton of gold and silver for 1894. The gold
product was $1S1, $40, 100, and Of silver
1914, 3S1, 900.
.The increase in the production Of sill
YER as compared with 1893, is 722, 900
ounces-about $1,000, 000."
Is il not extraordinarily remarkable
| that while these advocates Of the gold
| standard are constantly harping about
"over production of silver they never
stop to think anything about the "over
| production of gold?"
The editor of the Tribune is evidently
| Harmed that the production of silver in
1894 reached $214,0O0 70, 900, in round num-
| bers, in spite of the low price of bullion.
He never stops to inquire how much the
| production of gold has increased during
the same periods, covering his discus
| sion. Therefore for his edification let
us reproduce a few figures covering the
production Of gold and silver for each
,,oar from 1890 down ia 1885,

Rod of five years, and see how it COM

A TAX COLLECTOR sKIrs.
His Shortage Supposed to BE About
$4,000 Dollars.


Concord, Mass, Jan. 3O-Charles w.
Sanford tax collector of Concord for the
past four years, has left town under "A
cloud. He went to New York on plea
of business a week ago yesterday and was
heard from upon his arrival there. Since
then, however, no word was received
from him until last night when his wife
received a letter saying he would not re-
turn. 1t is impossible to state the amount
of Sanford's shortage, as this years tax
books cannot be found, having been re-
moved from their usual place of keeping.
The town authorities say the shortage
is probably not over $4,000. which is the
amount of Sanfords s bond. 1t is not like
lv that the town will suffer.
Besides being tax collector, Sanford
was a constable, probation officer and
auctioneer, and conducted furniture
business here. He was one Of the most
active business men in the town and
was very popular and prominent in Con-
cord society. He belongs to the Masons,
Royal Arcanum and other organizations.
1t is said that the cause of Sanford's
downfall was speculation in stocks. He
has wife and one child.

report that a great battle is imminent
between the Spaniards and rebels near
Matanzas. Four thousand Spaniards un-
der Gen. Pando are said to be, facing a

great battle would occur In twenty-four
hours.

government has ordered Gen. Campos to
make desperate efforts 10 break the pow
er Of the insurgents within the next few
weeks. The finance minister has cabled
Gen. Campos that unless decisive victo-
ries are won over the insurgents shortly

no matter by what methods.

the same persons as Morrow OF Oakland,
who not long ago figured in the Califor-
MIA papers as organizing a flllbustering
expedition. These men arrived here six
weeks ago and have been shadowed, and
evidence was obtained against them suf-
hclent to arrest them and connect them
with nlibustering expedition. They have
generally met with cold reception, no

men have been seeking 70 secure from ex-
queen Liiiuokalant pledge, II restored,

from the eX-queen. II is probable that the
two men will get five years each.
The United States consul sees no ground
for interfering In their behalf. This af-
fair Is unlikely to affect favorably the de-

political prisoners.
