Alt is increasing with enormous
rapidity.
Q.-Give the figures.
AIN 1878 the worlds gold produc-
ton was SCI, 200, 900; in 1850 it was $780,
1876, 500; in the year 1890 it was Sis, ,S4s,-
900: in 1894 it was $3.50. .626. 100; for the
year 1895 the exact total is not yet CON-
piled, but 1t is closely estimated at
s199, 500, 900.
Q-what does this mean?
Alt means that the amount Of gold
annually added to the worlds money
supply has more than doubled in the
last twenty-three years.
Q,-Is not this annual rate Of pro-
duction liable to decrease?
A.-on the contrary, all experts in the
American. Australian. and South AZ
rican gold fields look for further and
very heavy increase over the present
rate of production.
Q.-But has not the present disuse
of silver with full coinage facilities cut
down the total annual addition to the
worlds metallic money supply.
Alt has not.
Q.-Why?
Am 1878 the worlds gold produc-
ton was 500, 100000; its silver produc-
ton $Sl,SOO.OOO; total $17S.OOO,OOO. Last
year the production of gold alone was
$1s9, 500. 900.
Q.-was not the combined annual
production of gold and silver larger
than this in the bonanza days?"
Alt was not.
o,-what was the highest record of
that period?
A.-Between 1856 and 1860 the worlds
average annual production of gold was
$1S4,OSS,OOO; of silver. $s7.s1S. 900; total,
$171, 7O1, 900, or less by s27.SO0SOO than
last years production OF gold alone.
Q.-What are We to say, then Of the
argument that the money supply, since
free coinage was abandoned, has been
contracting?
A.-That it is utterly false as applied
to the world at large, and especially so
as applied to the United States,
Q.-It is true. nevertheless. that the
price of wheat and many other farm
products has fallen heavily?
Alt is.
Q,-How are such declines, in wheat,
for instance, to be explained?
A.-By the enormously rapid increase
in grain-growing area throughout the
world.
Q,-Has this increase been especially
rapid since 1872?
A.-The increase in grain-growing |
area in this period, especially in North
South America, and Asia, has
never been approached in any equal
period in the history of the world.
Q.-How do we judge of actual COM
petition in the sale of wheat?
A.-By the supplies thrown annually
on the worlds great distributing mar
kets.
Q.-What market in particular?
A.-England, where most of the buy
ing nations go to purchase their grain.
Q.-What are the figures?
A.-As recently as 1850, Great Britain
imported, for consumption and re-ex-
oprt 55,251,924 hundred weight of
wheat-a large increase over the pre-

PARIS, March 2G.-Tho chamber OF
deputies by vote of 2SS to 27O has voted
for the government proposal of the prin-
ciple Of an income tax, but has referred
the details Of tho scheme to a committee.
The income tax proposal has been in
tended as the central feature of tho plan
of the present government, and it has
been believed extremely doubtful
whether it could pass the legislature.
The action tonight is in tho nature Of a
compromise, indorsing the principle of
