NOT GoLU ENOUGH IN TUE WORLD
The steady decline in the price Of
silver bullion is causing even the most
rabid Of goldites to reflect seriously
on what the fnsl result is going to be
II is very we'll for the money changers
to com the lives OF the masses into
gold dollars, but when the signs Of
the times begin to indicate that the
turning Of the nations to gold stan
dard will in the end result in parsly-
sis of commerce, this is quite different
thing.
A government officer in the treasury
department at New York, thor.
oughly trusted financial authority,
says: "The gradual changing Of the
countries from a silver to gold has led
to the query as to whether there is
gold enough in the world TO afford a
basis for the currency Of the world"
Undoubtedly there is not. The total
supply Of gold for monetary purposes
is now about four thousand million
dollars. The total known production
which the history OF the precious
metals records is nine thousand mil
lions OF dollars. Less than half oi
this amount is available for money
purposes. Should the commercial
world go to gold basis there would
be not more that sl6 per capita Of cur
rency.
Financiers know that stagnation il
business and universal ruin would fol
low the adoption by the Commercial
world Of the gold standard On thI
other hand, with silver and gold con
currently in circulation there would b.
h revival Of business and a return o
prosperity. The few have been grow
ing rich through the misfortunes o
the many, but the few are beginning
to fear that the result OF their teach
ing will be a financial crisis that vii
plunge the world into inextricabl
ruin.

Monday, the anniversary of the battle
OF Lexington, was also the twenty-first
anniversary of the rescue of several
Fenian prisoners from the Freemantle
Prison in Australia. The project was
boldly conceived and braveIy carried out.
Captain Thomas Desmond, ex-Sheriff
of San Francisco, and Captain S. P.
Smith were the heroes of the latter oc-
casion. Supplied with funds by the
F,nian organizations they proceeded
10 New Bedford. Mass, where they char
tered the whaling vessel Catalpa and
placed on board a sturdy crew of Fenisns.
armed to the teeth.
In the gulse of a peaceable whaler the
Catalpa dropped anchor not far from the
prison. By the aid of confederates on
shore the prisoners were taken out of their
cells and carried in the ships boats 10 the
whaler.
They had hardly got over the side be.
fore the escape was discovered, and as the
CatalDa with all sails set turned her prov
toward California aud her heels TO the
snemy she was pursued by a tug contain
ing score of British guards armed with
rifles. sabers and revoIvers.
The Catalpa was overtaken about three
ana nali miles from Snore-on the high
seas-and the American flag was run nm
to the peak.
The Britishers called upon Desmond
and Smith 10 deliver the prisoners For
answer they were told that the prisoners
were on the deck of an American vessel
and protected by the flag. Then two
brass cannon loaded and ready for action
poked their noses over the rail of the
whaier.

mond.
The tug put about and went back IN
