GOLD IN THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.

In the current number Of the North
American Review Mr.. Andrew Carne-
gle gives his extremely lucid Riews on
the above topic. He tells us that gold
last year was mined to the extent of
1913 coo. 900, equal to five per cent Of
the worlds stock; the population Of
the world increases upon b average
just about one per cent per Rnnum."
Here" he observes, I'VE have an in.
crease per capita of four times the
quantity required to prevent the ap.
precia5ion-which must cause the de-
preciation-of gold, according TO both
bimetallic and free coinage doctrine"
Four years hence, he predicts, advo-
Gates of the gold standard will be able
to point to sixteen per cent increase in
she total stock of gold beyond the in
crease of the population then and OF
twenty per cent increase based upon
present population"
The first necessary deduction from
Mr.. Carnegie's argument is that he be-
lieves the present volume of gold
money now in use sufficient for the
purposes of the worlds present popu-
lation. That position ia a fallacy,
which, however, 1t is cot u purpose
to discuss at this moment. Ind6eds it
would be d mcult to find any thing II
the paper to repay discussion. We
only desire to express a mild degree Of
surprise that Mr.. Carnegie should not
have heard of a few things popularity
supposed to be elementary Information
concerning the science of money.
When he writes of sixteen per cent in
crease In the total stock of gold four
years hence, as against four per cent
increase of population, he evidently
means is to understand that then there
will be that much more gold money In
use than there is now; which 10 q
prophecy inaccurate enough TO be
properly called ridiculous Mr.. Car
negie is ignorant of, or else deliberately
ignores, the theory and opinion held
by leading bimetallic and monometallic
authorities alike, that an amount Of
gold equal, or nearly equal, to the SUM
of it's annual production, is annually
absorbed in the arts.
In a period of comparative distress,
widespread Over the face of civilization,
this theory may be open to some modi-
fcation, especially since there is the
coincidence of q somewhat increased
productions; but seriously to preach
from the columns of a great Review,
the doctrine that all the output of the
. yellow metal, for the coming years. is
to find coinage and circulation in the
worlds exchanges, is too funny to
leave us ground for suspacging the
preacher of conscious dishonesty

As result of the rapid increase in

on the West side yesterday the relief
committees were doing a good work,
although it will require another day
to get all Of the fifteen families set
tied. Each family is allowed one large
school room, which is free from bench
es or tables, etc. Into these apart
ments the families have carried all the
effects rescued from their houses AS
the school building is an old fashioned
structure, each room is provided with
a stove pipe, and the process Of heat
ing the rooms is simple, as the families
rescued their stoves first. The relief
committees will furnish fuel and pro-
visions as fast as they are needed.
Yesterday the work of providing fuel,
etc, went on swiftly, but without sys-
tenn. The givers will be asked to bring
their offerings on certain days to pre-
vent all the contributions coming in
at one time. Among those who did ex-
cellent work yesterday were Miss Lot

members Of the ST. Vincent de Paul

AS soon as the Bashi Bazouks began
firing on the insurgents, the latter re-
turned the fire and killed some Of their
assailants. The international forces
did not take a step to prevent this col
lision, which might have resulted in
the massacre Of large numbers Of wom-
en- and children, to say nothing Of the

practically impregnable position down
to an exposed plain, in the belief that
the foreign admirals had guaranteed

LONDON, April st Is just a month
since the so-called concert Of the pow.
ers threatened the blockade Of Crete,
which has proved quite Intellectual, bes
tQg continually evaded, and today the
anarchy in Crete and the confusion In
European counsels are worse than ba&
fore. The replies of the parliamentary
secretary for the foreign office, Mr..
Curzon, to inquiries on the subject,
show it to be by no means certain
that all the powers have actually
agreed to blockade the Greek ports,
The latest news indicates that France
and Italy are still adverse to this
course.
The fact that the powers distrust
each other reduces them to Impotence.
None Of them wants a general war, no-
body being able to foresee what it's
eventual result will be. 1t Is believed
that Russia and Germany, and PERI

that, Turkey being victorious, 1t will

Of the two club houses. sAt such a

very probably something of q fall.
This was reassuring news to the poor
people who are suffering no little hard
ship. The fact that the river did not
rise to any great extent yesterday gave
the relief workers time to better pro-
vide for those who have already been

needed rest, for. If the committees and
public officials had been called upon
to attend to any great number Of new
cases yesterday, many deserving cases
would have been passed without proper

The usual crowds continued to line

That was when the officer learned to

over on a projecting peak he deserted
