Der OF carloads reported by the Della

knows just how many peaches his town

where the fruit is shipped the buyers
have their cars designated by flags, and
as as soon as they buy a wagon load of

from Mr.. Carlisle's own report that
the gold is leaving this country at
the rate of $10,D00,0O0 a MONTH.
When he assumed his Office in 1898
he found $103OO0,D00 in the gold re-

the surplus to 1851 100000. His re-
port this week shows that only $685.
100000 of this is now in the treasury.
What has become of the other $179,-
100000? That it has left the cotsnr
try is shown by the fact that we are
compelled to buy it back from Eng
lish bankers at premium, in month
ly installments under contract to

teen months this vast sum has been

and it is doubtful if we now have all
told as much as $5O0,00O,000 Of gold

are told that our system Is good
enough and should not be changed,
and that Mr.. Carlisle's arguments are
simply unanswerable.
