\ correspondent Of the New York sun
contends that the governments estimate
that there is $500. 100000 Of gold coin in
circulation is too high. He states that
this estimate makes no allowance for the
millions Of gold coin known to have been
taken out Of the country every year by
foreign workmen. and then he goes on
TO say.
According TO an estimate by the
Herald some years ago, immigrants re-
turning to Europe take away about
So 0C0,O00 yearly. Besides these, we have
fully 100000 Chinese and Canadian
laborers. who must absorb fully S15.OO0,0oD
more every year. The money which these
people send away in the form of drafts
and postal orders can easily be traced.
but there is no way TO find out how much
they take away on their persons. The
Chinese take more silver, while the white
aliens prefer gold.
AT least 5000 Of the Canadian work
men cross the border every day, and
when they get paid they take every cent
of their earnings back home with them.
They have been doing this for the last
twenty-five years; and If We add TO the
vast amount they must have absorbed in
this way the millions that other alien
workmen have carried Off on their per-
sons. IL is quite evident that there cannot
possibly be anything like SSOOOOc0 in
circulation AT present.
Another leakage that the governments
estimate ignores is the gold paid Tor
struggled goods. How much goes IN ms
way il is hard 10 determine. but there
can be no doubt that since 1872 We have
lost great many millions that do not
