worlds aggregate production Of gold wal
"a s0O0, 0JOs, and that o. silver 10000,
0O0$. But had there been indications o.
producing more silver than gold in 1877;
and Ihenceforth, what of It? Statistic,
show from 1872 to 1913 inclusive the
worlds production Of gold was 81. ,OO0,.
COOS, and OF silver 1,l5l ,OJ0. OJOs,-twice
as much silver a. gold. and yet this pre-
pondsrsnce Of silver production over tn 1t
OF gold did not affect the numerical
ratio Of the two metals.
From 1873 TO 1892 inclusive, the
worlds aggregate production of gold al
20 67$ per ounce was 2,O60. 0OO, OOOs, and
OF silver at l.29$ per ounce MAS 2, 22i 900,
COOS
The Act OF Congress, effectively de
monetIzinR silver in 1873, and the conse.
quent similar acts passed by European
countries, have reduced the value Of this
silver production, M measured in gold,
tiffy per cent.--have reduced the worlds
entire amount OF silver extant nearly
900 600, COOS, and at that deprived II
mostly OF ITS property Of redemption
money. This immense loss is most dis
astrous, but more ESPECIALLY to thi. coun
try, owing to the great extent and rich
ness OF its silver mines. Thus, in 1889
the silver mines OF the United States
yielded 81, 900, zoos, equal to two.,hirds
OF the silver yield of the balance OF the
world. in 1894, owing to the great de-.
probation in the price OF silver. many OF
our silver mines were compelled to stop
work. and our yield OF silver was, az
measured in gold, l4,s5O,OOO The in.
dicatIons are that the silver Yield of our
mires this year will not ID 4,O0J,.
