A FLOOD OF GOLD.

II the stories of the richness OF the
gold fields of the klondyke are conhrmed
and the placers continue to yield the out
put which has enriched so many OF the
first corners, the effect will be far greater
than that of causing a mining excite
ment on the Pacific Coast and bringing
about rapid development of the upper
Yukon region. The whole world will be
affected by the increase of the gold sup
ply and we shall have universal revival
of the enterprise which followed the great
discoveries of gold in California and Aus
tralia nearly fifty years ago.
Even before the late reports of the rich
finds on the Klondyke were made known.
the estimates were that the output of
gold for the year would be extraordinary.
In a recent interview, Mr.. Preston, Direc-
tor of the Mint, estimated the probable
gold product for 1897 at about $3.50. .000 900.
This in itself would have been vast in
crease over the product of five years ago,
which was in round mum bers $3.50, 900, 900,
and when this estimate is revised by the
returns now coming in from the north it
will be seen that we are on the verge OF a
dood-tide in the gold supply.
The increase in the output of gold has
come in response to a pressing demand.
Phe trade, the commerce and the indus
try of every civilized nation on the earth
needed it. 1t was to supply this demand
that money has been poured forth in
Australia, South Africa and in the big
mines of this country to bring the pre-
cious metal from the earth and set it to
work. While the prospector gave his en-
ergy to the task OF finding the ore, science
lent its aid to devise bstter means of ex-
tracing it. With an increase OF gold
mines came an improvement of the meth
ods of handling it, and the two, working
together, have produced the resul Is
which now promise to carry blessings to
every part of the world.
We shall not get the full effects OF the
gold-felds of the Yukon until placer min.
ing has given way to the more scientific
and thorough methods of quartz mining.
II. however, the fields turn out to be any
thing like as rich as they are said to be it
will not be long before a more comm obi
Gus route will be opened and machinery
will be set to work crushing the ores and
pouring the golden stream down this
the globe. The story of the rapid settling
of South Africa will be repeated in
Alaska, and a new movement of enterprise
will be felt in all forms of industry.
1t is fortunate for US that the new food
of gold will find US better prepared to
profit by it than the old. When the gold
fields were discovered in California we
were doing business under Democratic
free-trade tariff. As fast as our gold was
brought from the mines it was sent abroad
to pay for foreign goods. twill be differ
ent this time. We are to have protective
tariff in force in few days, and the new
gold will remain at home to develop
American industries. There will be big
business in California as well as in Alaska,
and those who stay at home will reap
their share of the rewards which are
promised in the new land of Ophir.

NOTHING BUT PROMISES.

Senator Hanna in his campaigning
speeches to the Buckeyes promises
them that the republican party. will
settle the money question, il it shall
be given chance. upon a basis that
will take the question ont OF politics
and prevent future bushes reverses.
This news is houey sweet. Mr.. Hanna
does not 60 into particulars: and
there is nothing in the past history Of
republican tinancierlng to justify
hope, The Republicans have tink-
cred and tinkered, and made one
dangerous experiment after another;
and they are still tinkering, and are
afraid to rectify their most obvious
Observation-Disclosures Record.
There is reason to believe that the
Republicans have done all they pro-
pose to do in the line of redeemlng
pledges. The have satisfied the de-
mands of the contributors to repubi-
can corruption funds by cnacting a
law that enables those contributors to
recover the full amount of their sub
scriptions with heavy interest from
the people, and this, no doubt, fully
meets the republican idea of what is
needed in the way of remedial legis-
lation. The party leaders have con-
cluded apparently to rest their case
on the Dingley law and to trust to
the full restoration of prosperity for
further political capital. The Repub-
Leans met great crisis in partisan
spirit and essayed to satisfy the de-
mands Of suffering people by i'm
posing upon them additional heavy
burdens.
Mr.. Hanna's promise that the re-
put ican party will settle the money
question amounts to nothing, be
cause it is clear that the leaders of
the party are satisfied with the pres
ent condition OF the currency, and
even it it shall seem to them to be
advisable to make some change at
the instance of the great moneyed
interests their settlement of the
question will not be what the public
asks and expects. The treatment
the people received at the hands of
the republican tariff makers is in
evidence As showing that the inter.
ests of tho masses will not be con-
suited by the republican party
