gold has appreciated? If it appears that
it has increased more rapidly than the
population, would it not rather depreci-
ate than appreciate?
GOLD PRODUCTION HAS GREATLY
INCREASED.
Let us examine the figures from the
best authorities of the world, Soetbeer,
Mulhall, Preston and others. Mulhall
indicates that the amount of gold in the
world, coined and uncoined, fifty years
ago amounted to less than $2,5OOO0O.-
900. Taking his figures for 1890 and
adding the production since that date,
the gold in the world to-day, coined
and uncoined, is shown to be over ST.
900 100000 Thus it will be seen that
the world apparently has about three
times as much gold to-day as 1t had
fifty years ago.
If there had been no increase in pop
ulation in the meantime there would
thus be three times as much gold for
each person now than there was a half
century ago. But the population has
increased 80 per cent, so there is ap-
parently twice as much gold in the
Il, world for each individual as there was
| at that time.
| SOINaNrEL I1ASo In
CREASED.
But this is not all. Fifty years ago
| only SO per cent. of the gold of the
world was coined into money. Now 66
| per cent. of it is coined. So it appears
| that, while the per capita Of gold has
| been doubled, the proportion of that
gold which is turned into coin has also
| doubled.
W.T. ;- 60, nc
as much gold coin for each individual
| in the world to-day as there was fifty
years ago.
| Does this look as though there was a
scarcity Of gold? If gold coin is four
times as plentiful for each individual
| to-day as it was fifty years ago, is it
| reasonable to assume that the legiti-
mate need for more of it as a medium
| of exchange is greater now than it was
then? If not, how can it be shown that
| it has Appreciated"
There is another way Of looking at it..
| OF the total money Of the world fifty
years ago only 20per cent. was gold. Now
| nearly 30 per cent of the money of
the world is gold. Had the demand for
money increased more rapidly than the
gold increased there would have been
| greater proportionate growth of the
other kinds of money, either silver or
paper or both, for both are plentiful
and are constantly used for currency
everywhere. But their proportion has
decreased while the proportion of gold
| has increased.
But" say the friends of silver, "the
mere fact that gold money has in
creased does not prove that it is suffi-
/ 70 the W. nf he
| cause since the crime of 1878 in this
| country and similar crimes about the
same date in other countries, the quar-
| tity of silver money has decreased.
SILVER AND PAPER MONEY HAVE
ALSO INCREASED.
! Let US see about that. Preston, the Di-

were taking as they opened UP the
smiling, fertile valleys and connected
the rich mining districts throughout the
State with their natural trade center
Sacramento, so that subsequently, fur
ther addition of 115 feet was made,
making the entire length of the build
ing 515 feet, a trifle over one-tenth of a
mile.
To the west side of the north end of
this building was attached an L." and
in the L was located the offices of the
motor power and machinery depart
ment. 1t was naturally the proper place
for the offices, being almost exactly the
center of the several departments Of the
shops, but as the business increased and
the clerical force kept pace with 1t the
l. was recently, as had been the
building proper, added to, and the offices
enlarged SO as to allow of the clerical
force passing about without the former
ever present danger Of trampling upon
one another.
The year 1872 was one Of great ac-
tivity in the shops, so far as building
was concerned, and in addition to the
improvements already mentioned the
car shop was extended go feet, and
the pattern shop located in the south
end of it on the second floor. The old
blacksmith shop was also found to De
too small for the work necessary, ard
a new one was erected, the dimensions
being S2x110 feet, and located as shown
in the cut Owing to the accumulation
Of scrap iron a set of rolls was set up
in the blacksmith shop in 1877, more as
an experiment than a fixture, but the
experiment proved successful beyond
the widest anticipation. Accordingly
a larger plant was deemed necessary,
and in 1881 the present rolling mill was
built as an auxiliary to the blacksmith
shop.
In 1872 was also built the paint shop,
the dimensions being 10x22S feet, hay
ing five Is, each 23 by 20 feet and in
1855 the labor to be performed had so
far outgrown the shop that an addition
WAS built on the south end, capable of
housing eight extra coaches. In This
wear 0S12) was also built the car shop
transfer table, by means Of which q

car might be shifted into any stall de-
sired with the greatest possible ease.
Many years ago-just how many
would be hard to determine-a boiler
shop was built where the machine shop
transfer table now stands, but it was
though very necessary-in the way
and was moved being now used to ac-
commodate the spring-makers and
brass molders, and in 1889 new boiler
shop was erected. and it is there that
to-day ones ears are assailed by the
aggregated sounds emanating from the
monster boilers under the hammers of
the ever-in-evidence boiler makers At
about the same time of the erection of
this great noise producer, the machine
shop transfer table was set up and
the labor in shopping locomotives re-
duced to a minimum.
1t had become necessary in the mean
time to prepare a shop TO be used ex-
clusively for the repair Of freight and
fat cars. and in 1873 was erected the
present car shop No. ;. About three
years after this time was built the pres
ent foundry which with it's additions
and au2iliaries is one of the most i'm
portant departments in the shops. The
spot upon which the hammer shop now
stands was formerly occupied by the old
foundry which was built in 1872, but
subsequently destroyed by fire, though
Immediately rebuilt. When the new
foundry was built on Sixth. between
G. and II streets, the old building was
turned into a hammer shop, and so 1t
remains even to this day.
And so the building went on and on,
shop after shop storehouse after store
! house. office after office, until from the
ramshackle shed at the foot Of / street
in 1863 there is now to be seen on the
former site of Lake Sutter the largest
and best equipped railroad shops west of
Chicago, if not in the United States.
Other buildings have been erected than
those mentioned, all of which may be
easily located in the accompanying cut,
but the idea Of comparing those first
built with those of later construction
has been carried out.
The buildings are of brick and iron,
and consequently impervious to fire, and

the company in the person of Master
Car-Builder Benjamin Welch, and the
friends of the veteran, and their number
reaches far into the thousands, point
with pride to the railroad shops, and

poli,s Wonderland Theater

Marion Manola and Jack Mason are euualling their best efforts in the legit- innate during their engagement this week at Polls Wonderland theater. Miss Manola retains all her old charms of manner and voice, and she seems to have grown more capable of pleasing since coming into vaudeville. Mir. Ma son, too, has gained by the change and is doing splendid work. His elocution is as melodramatic as ever, and he has grown in his powers of comedy creat- ing. Mr. Morton and Miss Revelie pre- sent lively talking skit. which gives opportunity to MT. Morton to do some very rapid talking. Miss Charlotte Parry is q clever mimic, introducing exceedingly artistic limitations of Vesta Tilley, Maggie Cline, Yvette Guilherr, Tony Pastor and other famous stage characters Other clever specialties arc presented by Post and Hayes, Farnum, and Seymour, Miss Gertrude Reynolds, MT. and Miss Patten, MT. Copp, and Murphy and Burke.

 Family.
 4 valuable collection of relies of Colo nial days has recently been sent from old Mystic to the National Museum at Washington, D. C., where they have been mounted in three large glass cases and given place of honor In the cen tral or north hall of the building.
 This rare and unique collection was gift by John Brenton Copp, native of Old Mystic. The entire collection Is re- markable as having been in one family for the past 200 years. It has been handed down with great care and rever- ence for many generations by the de- scendants of the Copp family. For many years it was carefully stored by the late Mrs. Mary Copp Williams of Old Mystic, daughter of the late sam" uel Copp, who resided on farm on the Westerly road. At her death the entire collection was bequeathed to her nephew, John Trenton Copp.
 In one case are homemade bedquilts of linen and wool, heavy, brown linen curtains, beautifully designed in raised figures, hats, bonnets, shoes, and ele-  gant dresses and shawls, which were in vogue before the Revolutionary war, Enclosed in the second case are ar ticles of domestic use, many ornaman- tai articles of fashion and a set of invitations which were used from 179O to 1S1O. A pack of cards cut from paste board, with hearts, spades. clubs and diamonds painted on them ill water col OTIS, had the invitations to entertain ! ments written on the back
 In the third case are calico dresses, with pockets, which were double orna- mental bags worn outside the dress, representing much time and skill spent in elaborating them.
 The large collection of religious books donated is the only kind in the library from the time of the Mayfower until after the Revolution. A complete set of almanacs from 17S4 to 1854 isi in- | cluded,
