WHERE THE GOLD IS.

The five state banks of Austria,
France, Germany and England have
increased their gold reserve since 1890
from $700,400,000 to 81, 800 100000.
That is, those five banks, together with
the United States treasury, have locked
up more than half the gold of this world
in SIX repositories. 1t does not enter
into circulation as money of the world
at all, and the whole outside world has
but about 1850 million dollars in gold to
do its work with,

by the fact that since Mr.. Cleveland
came into office the loss of gold from
the treasury of our own hation has been

about 81 100000 per month for forty. .one
months. How much more of that kind

decornm when the pfopriety of the
citizen to discuss the justice or wisdom
of the acts of his public servant is
questioned, or when the infaliability of
public officer is asserted or assumed
to exist. Such condition of perfection
is not expected to be found in the
supreme court more than in the presi.

that court. To say that the opinions of

A NEW SILVER POINT.

Mr.. M. H. Slater of this city has
written letter to tho New York Jour
nal which roally brings out new point
in the silver question. In it he quotes
from the reoort or the Comptroller of
the Treasury, showing the past and
present conditions OF the savings banks
of the United States. The savings
banks represent the savings Of the wage
earnels and their growth in deposits and
in number of deposltors compared to
the whole population is fair index of
the condition Of the most prudent and
Industrious people among that class.
Mr.. Slater shows that in twenty five
years between 1920 and 1915 the average
deposits rose from II cents to 81 %, a
gain of 925 per cent. During the %
years between 1845 and 1870 the average
rose from Sl.53 to $l426 per capita, a
gain of 1853 per cent. During the
twenty five years between 1870 and
1895 the average rose from Sl4 26 to
S25SS, gain of only 81 per cont.
These last twenty-five years are the
ones during which our goldbug friends
say there has been an unparalleled
growth OF wealth and prosperity. While
this may be true. Mr.. Slater draws the
conclusion from this official report that
the wage earners did not share in the
prosperity. hesetwenty five years has
not been as prosperous for them as the
preceding fifty.
Ii the rate OF increase OF deposits had
increased between 1870 and 1895 as it did
in the preceding twenty-five years,
the average deposits would have been
sl6527 instead of 2j.s8,-Mining In

EASIER TO GET.

The New York Tribune Of the 10Th
INST, in referring to the claim OF silver
men that the silver dollar, under free
coinage, would be worth as much as the
gold dollar, says:
"Would that dollar be any easier to
get than at present? Would the farmer
receive any moro hundred cent
silver dollars for his crop, than the one
hundred cent gold dollars he now gets?
1t is incOnceivable."
