The Gold Product.

In the North American Review for Jan
uary Mr.. r. e. Preston, the director of
the mint, in an interesting article on the
Future of Gold" gives some valuable
statistics relative to the production of
gold. 1t is an article that should be very
carefully studied by those who are insist
ing that gold is becoming scarcer and is
therefore. approaching in value.
The production OF gold in 1898 was the
greatest in the history of the world up
to 1891. for any one year, and the produc-
ton for 1894 was considerably greater
than that for 1893. That being the case,
how can It be said that the value of gold
is approaching on account of its increas-
ing scarcity?
The production Of gold in the United
States was in 1890, So. $4,000, and in 1898
S35, 955. 600 In Australia in 1890 il was $50
sos 600. and in 1898, $S5, SIS 500. In Russia in
1890 it was $2S ass, 900, and in 1898. SIC. 45i.
400. In Africa in 1890 it was $9.SSL0Oo and
in 1898, $29, SO5, 500. In India in 1890 it was
$1,000. zoo, and in 1893. SS,Sl3,OO0. In The
Guianas in 1890 it was 2,1l7200, and in 1898,
s4.279, 400. In 1890 the total production of
the foregoing countries was SlOO,ll52Oo,
and in 1898, $lS5. 496.SOO.
1t will be noticed that there has been
steady increase in the gold output since
1890. particularly in Africa. But great as
the output was in 1898 it was considerably
greater in 1894 How much greater it was
is not yet known. because the reports for
the year from all the gold mining regions
have not yet been received. Mr.. Preston
saws that in the United States it will
probably exceed the output of 1893 by
$1,000, 900.
The African gold mines are exceedingly
rich. Ii is estimated that in the Wit
watersrandt district alone there is Sl,0H,-
800. 900 of gold to be mined.
The steady increase in the output in
this country is due TO the fact that silver
mining. on account of the low price of
silver. is not being carried on as vigor-
ously as it was and many of those who
were engaged in it have turned their at
tention to gold mining.
At the close of his article Mr.. Preston
calls attention to the fact that at the
mia in 1860 economists began TO in
ouire what measures governments should
take ito prevent the depreciation of the
yellow metal. some even proposing its
! decentralization"
The production Of 1860 is now being
exceeded, and strange to say, "an the
economic evils from which the CONNER
a.
suffering are ascribed 10 the scarcity Of
| gold; what better solution can there be
of suca fallacy than the present pro
duction of gold? Mr.. Preston asks: IF
there is scarcity Of gold now when
was there plenty of it,"

stevenson,s Queer Smoke.

The following anecdote about Robert
Louis stevenson is related in Harpers
Weekly:
During his last visit to this country
Robert Louis Stevenson escaped a very
unpleasant experience and never knew
a. A journalist, who knew Stevenson
by his published portraits. entered car
al Ions Branch, and saw the famous
author seated in a corner. with a black
square boH on the opposite seat and a
rubber tube dangling from it. The con-
ductar knew the journalist and said to
him. pointing TO Mr. Stevenson:
II m goinS to put that man with the
long mar OF the tram. He is smoking.
I asked him not to, 'but he's been at it
again when We been out of the car"
He's not smoking said the journalist
that is some device for carrying medi-
cine in the form of vspor, which he in
hales in his lungs. He IS an invalid That

The conductor seemed interested, but

aettinr Rendv for FIectricitv.


A day or two ago we called attention
10 The large electric locomotives that are
being constructed for handling the aayy
trains of the Baltimore and Ohio I;ail-
road Company ia the tunnels Of that
company in Baltimore. The building Of
such large electric locomotives shows that
a very remarkable advance has been made
in the use Of electricity for a motive
power since the first electric railroad was
built fifteen years ago az Menlo Park.
y. j.. for exhibition purposes.
The announcement is now made that
the New York. Hartford and New Haven
Railroad Company are preparing to i'm
troduce electricity on two Of their branch
roads namely the Nantucket Beach Line
ana the Providence and Fail River Line.
The nrst Of these lines runs from Boston
to a nearby seaside resort, and IS only a
few miles in length. but IL carries a very
large number Of passengers in the sum
mer season.
The other is the line between Providence
and FAN River. and is operated in connec-
ton with the Sound steamers which
touch at the last named place. 10 H.
about forty miles in length.
In this connection it is interesting 10
know that the use Of electricity on the
main line Of the road. from New York
20 New Haven. is contemplated. The
line has four tracks and is about SOW
enty miles Ina length. The tracks were
put down a number Of years ago. espec-
tally with the view Of the possible use
Of electricity as a motive power. The cost
Of the change from steam as motive
power TO electricity would not. there
fore, be very great.
The president Of the New York. Hart
ford and New Haven railroad is one Of
the most progressive men in the country
lie has given the question of the use Of
electricity for long lines Of railroad
great deal Of thought. He is not yet sat
isfed that a change from steam to cleo
tricity is advisable from an economic
standpoint. The Springfield Republican,
in discussing his purpose relative to tine
adoption Of electricity on railroads. says:
1T is well known that few persons are
better informed than the president Of the
New Haven road regarding the POSSIBLE
titles of electricity as applied TO railroads.
and that ne is only waiting for demon
stration OF its practicability TO recommend
the change from self-contained motor
carrying its own initial energy, to one de-
irving energy from a central point,
which supplies hundreds of other mot
ors."
Taking into consideration the wonder
full growth of the use Of electricity as
motive power on railroads during the
short time that its available
ity in that respect has been
known. it does not seem to be rash to
predict that within the next ten years
many OF the important lines of railroad
viii adopt electricity as motor. Rail-
road men are giving this matter very
thorough study, because they realize
that the time may be close at hand when
a great revolution will take place in
railway transit. 1t is much more than
likely that those who build railroads
from this time on will 90 so with refer
ence to the fact that it may become nee
essary to change them from steam to
electric roads.

The question of cotton mills in
the south has heretofore been discussed
from more or less of theoretical stand
point. Now, however. the movement of
cotton mills to the south is "a condition
and not a theory that confronts us" and
the movement has to be considered from
a practical point of view. In this light, it
seems that the city of Columbia, S G., is
acting in a sensible and persuasive man
ner. Columbia viii send a delegation of
representative men to the north. with
power to guarantee exemption for ten
years from local taxation any and all
manufacturing plants that may be estab-
lished in that city. 1t seems that other
cities in the south could afford to meet
the bid. The increase of values and of
trade that would result from the estab-
lishment Of large cotton factories would
probably a great deal more than Offset
the concession to the mills in the way of
taxes.
