The RepreSenta
So SOUTH FOURTH ST., MINNEAPOLIS.

1891 over 1890, amounted to $14 ,00O, 900;
the increase Of 1892 over 1891 amount
ed to $1O000,000; the increase
of 1893 over 1892 amounted to
to $12 100000 and the increase of 1894
over 1893, amounted to Sc 900 900. Final
ly the increase in the product of silver
from 1890 to 1894 inclusive amounted to
81, 100000.
With the basis of product Of silver as
starter in each year, 1t will readily be
perceived that the percentage of increase
has uniformly been in favor Of gold.
throughout the period named; and when
it comes down to the last three years the
| increase in the product of gold over sill
yer has not only been much larger in the
actual output, but the percentage has
simply been astonishing.
Observe that the percentage of increase
in the product of gold, between 1892 and
1893, was $26,OO0,O0O in round numbers:
while the increase in the product of sill
yer was only $4,000, 0OO,-more than 100
per cent In favor Of the product of gold.
Observe also that the increase In the
product of gold in 1894 over 1893.
amounted to $27 900, 900 as against an in
crease Of $4,000, 900 in the product of sil-
yer. A little figuring on the part of the
editor of the Tribune will discover the
fact that this increase is $50 per cent
over the product of silver.
Now "let us reason together" for a
moment: If 1t follows logically that be-
cause silver has increased $4,000, 900 in
product during the past year, the bullion
price should fall in the market. what
ought we to say about gold, whose in
crease of product has amounted to $50
per cent more than silver? Why in the
name of all that's reasonable, logical.
fair, honest and human, don't the price
of gold fall correspondingly with the
price of silver?
While the answer is perfectly plain to
every advocate of the free coinage of
silver" because gold is money and sill
yer is MOTT must be sumner" to
every advocate of the gold standard,
when he undertakes to argue that the
price of silver, when treated as money,
depends upon the production of the
metal

POWER OF A STAMP.

A stamped letter is a sacred thing
in the eyes Of the United States gov
eminent. No one is permitted by law
to open it except the person whose
name it bears. A man committed
suicide not long ago, and on his desk
was letter addressed to some one
away off in Iowa. The stamp was on
the letter, and though it had not
started, and though the coroner was
most anxious to open it, for he felt
sure it would throw some light on the
mans death, he could not do it. The
small, pinkish, oblong bit of paper,
with the head Of Washington en-
graved upon 1t, that was gummed up
in one corner, was as good as body Of
armed soldiers to protect the dead
mans wishes.
And every little innocent stamp
that is used does the same watchdVr
service.-New York Times.

COVER 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 SEN
fences:
ut may even be doubted II information
al bi-metallism would now restore the
commercial price of silver to the old ratio
of 16 to 1 in the face of the enormously in
creasing production.
"The latest report shows large in
crease in the production of silver in 1894
in spite of the declining quotation.
"What would the increase be II the
price were double and more than 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
s214,3 1881 900. ~-
"The increase in the production Of sill
YER as compared with 1893, is 10000
ounces-about s1,0oo,ooo."
Is it not extraordinarily remarkable
that while these advocates OF the gold
standard are constantly harping about
cover production of silver" they never
stop to think anything about the "over
production of gold?"
The editor of the Tribune is evidently
alarmed that the production of silver in
| 1894 reached $214, 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 few figures covering the
production of gold and silver for each
year from 1890 down to 1856

while the vast mass Of silver coin in
Europe and the United States, is still
under the aegis of law and continues to
be lawful, legal tender money, and the
large volume of paper is maintained as
legal tender money in Europe and in
our country, it cannot be fully consum-
mated. The bare contemplation of such
thing Is arousing opposition which
