FACTS WORTH CONSIDERING.

Hero are soms facts about finances
that are worth careful consideration.
They arc from the Louisville, Ky, Post:
In 1873 the production of gold was
SOC, 600, 600; in 1897 it is S240, 600, 600.
In 1878 tho bullion value of the silver
dollar was 81. 004; in 1897 IL is 40 cents.
In 1873 the por capita circulation In
tho United States was SIS; in 1897 it
is s22. The loss on the silver pur-
chased from 1878 to 1893 TO maintain
the price of silver exceeds 5000, 600, 600
or about tho value of one-half of the
cotton crop.
Tho amount of money in circulation
is greater in gold standard countries
than in countries having silver
standard.
Labor and farm produce in Mexico
are paid for in silver dollars, the value
of which is steadily declining.
In eraH of deprecated currency the
last thing to advance is wages; the
first thing to advance is property. In
gold standard countries capital is
abundant and the rate of interest low.
In silver standard countries capital is
scarce and the rate of inteie est high.
