UNCLE SANS GOLD FIELDS.


UNCLE SANS GOLD FIELDS.
Gen. Dufield, chief of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, who, with his ASSISTANTS,
has been in the field all summer, is now
engaged in working up the data which
will be embodied in the report of the
joint commissioners appointed under the
convention of 1892, between Great Brit
ain and the United States, for the survey
of the territory of the United States and
Canada, adjacent to the boundary line
dividing Alaska and Canada. This re.
port will be made some time in January,
1896. Gen. Dufiield is the commissioner
on behalf of the United States, and D. Y.
King on behalf of Great Britain. The
former gives it as his opinion that all OF
the gold properties of the Yukon and
Forty Mile Greek are within the juris.
diction of the United States. So far az
he has been informed, and the report oi
the governor of Alaska agrees with his
information, all the gold discoveries have

SIxcE free coinage of god does not
bring all the gold in the world to our
mints for coinage. why should free coin
age of silver bring all the silver TO our
minis for coinage. The gold of Europe
is worth just as much there as it is here
and the silver of Europe is worth more
there than it is here or than it would be
under free coinage at I6 10 l, because ii
is already coined there at ratio of is or
151S to l. Hence it is apparent that
whatever metallic money came to our
shores must inevitably be gold because it
is worth the same as bullion that it is as
money while silver would be worth less
as bullion in this country than it is as
money in Europe.

what would be the use of an information

have an international agreement con-
corning gold. So long as there is no
agreement and every nation coins gold

no: do the same with silver. IF the
United States chose to make dollar of
10 grains of gold instead of 25.8 it could
make no possible difference in our for

THE Republicans in the new house of
representatives have clear two-thirds
majority. The probable action of the
senate or the possible presidential veto
should not deter them from doing their
duty to the people in passing bill for
the free coinage of silver az 16 to l. They
were elected as poorest against the un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman law
and the people have right to expect
that their protest will be respected. Such
action would also commit the party to
the popular side of the question in ad
vance of the national convention and
who has any better right to commit the
party than the representatives who are
fresh from the people.

THE advocates of the gold standard
who have been fondly imagining all
along that they were deceiving the
psople into belief that they hoped for
.ternational bimetallsm, by use of the
term sound money" are beginning to
lay aside the cloak. They think they
have things fixed so that the national
conventions of both parties will declare
for the gold Standard; if not openly, at
least in words so carefully guarded that
they can be interpreted that way when
the proper time comes; that is after the
votes are counted How long do these
fellows suppose the people will submit
to be trifisd with? Unless the temper Of
the masses shall undergo great change
within the next year. they are going to
know whether they are voting for gold

I'm stallism and prosperity.

the news columns of the STATE JOURNAL
last Saturday:
The municipal geographical curiosity
of the United States is the little village
of Grifton, n. c., which lays claim 10
more divisions than any other town,

Gated in two counties, three townships,
two congressional districts, and two SEN
atorial, and two judicial districts.
This attracted the attention of a sub
scriber at Florence, and he outdoes it
with tho following:

this; it is located in two states, two coun-
ties, two townships. two school districts,
two judicial districts, two senatorial and

OF America, would make visit to
Honolulu in the near future. The re-
port is not credited by the local bicy-
Gle authorities, as at last reports Tim
norman intended to open bicycle
factory at his home in New Jersey
in conjunction with his brother-in-
law. Zimmerman had made little
fortune during his recent visit to
France and he contemplated set
thing down. He may, however, travel
for a change OF climate.
