A SILVER CATEcHISM.

The Detroit Free Press publishes the
following:
eminent in business and otherwise
should be formed in this city without
delay. whose duty it should be to write
or procure to be written. a large number
of tracts treating solely the question of
sound money, to contain not more than
1000 words each. and to be printed in
large type and upon good paper. These
distribution by the middle of August,
and copies should he placed in the hands
of every wage-earner and farmer in the
state of Michigan.
They would best subserve the purpose
if drawn M in the form of a catechism.
of which l append Il specimen:
Q.-What is the fundamental conten.
ton of the free-cuinage advocates?
A.-That the amount of money in cir.
| c~ulation has been decreasing since the
characterization of silver. and that this
decrease has caused a general fall in
prices.
Q.-Is it true that the money supply
has been decreasing!
Alt is not.
Q.-What are the facts?
AIS far as the United States is con-
cerned there has been an enormous in
crease. In 1860 the money in %circnla-
ton in this country was S442 1O2.477;
in 1872 it was $73S.3 0D. $40: by the
treasury bulletin at the beginning of the
present month Of July it was S1,0O3, 7725,-
200.
Q.-What does this show?
Alt shows that our money supply
has increased 2lO per cent. as compared
with 1860, and 104 per cent. as com-
pared with 1872.
Q.-Has the money supply increased
faster than the population:
Avery much faster.
Q.-How do YOU prove this?
A.--By dividing the total money in
population of he country at the same
date. and thus finding the circulation per
capita.
Q.-What does such a process show?
A.-The per capita circulation of the
United States on July l., 1850. was
S14.O6: on July 1. 1872, it was $50:
at the beginning of July in 1886 it was
SPILLS.
Q.-But has not the money supply of
the world at large been decreasingy
A.-On the contrary, it has been in
c~reasing rapidly.
Q.-How is this proved:
A.-By the statistics of new gold pro-
duction.
Q.-How large has this production
been?
A.-Thc reports of the director of the
mint, which are acknowledged authority,
show that from 1878 to 1894. inclusive,
the worlds total new gold production has
been $500. s34. 800.
Q.-ls this new product Of gold in
c~reasing or decreasing?
Alt is increasing with enormous ra-
pidity.
Q.-Give the figures.
AIN 1873 the worlds gold produc-
ton was S9G. 200, OOO; in 1880 it was
S106.436.S0 In the year 1890 it was
S~11S,S49.OO0. In 1894 it was $500 26.-
100. For 1895 the exact total is not yet
compiled, but is closely estimated at
$199, 100000.
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.-But has not the issue of silver
with full coinage privileges cut down the
total annual addition to the worlds me-
tallic money supply?
Alt has not.
Q.-Why?
AIN 1873 the worlds gold produc-
ton was $s96. OO,OOO: it's silver produc-
ton, SS1, 10000; total. $17S.OOO,O 600.
Last year the production of gold alone
was $1a9, 100000.

races have brought them to Newport. Mrs.
bennett is delighted at this news. for
Sir Brooke's acquaintance is an acquisi-
tion of her London social career. Mean
while, from the Pendragon. Sir Brooke has
noticed the beautiful Honoria on the bril-
lantly lighted deck of the Neckan. She
is simply clad in white silk and has a long
stemmed American Beauty rose pinned to
her waist. Lord Gadsden explains who
she is and calls her "the best equipped
fl'rt in these or any other waters" He had
met her while in America the year before.
