THE PRESSING NEED FOR GOLD

Never was there greater necessity for
increased gold production than at the
present time. Consumption in the arts
and manufactures has become so i'm
mense that some of the ablest statisti-
clans predict that gold will disappear
from monetary use at not very dis
tant day. Goetbeer, who is regarded as
the ablest statistician on the subject OF
production and consumption Of the pre-
cious metals, says that the gold money
of the world is about one-third less than
the gold which has been produced in the
last forty years. Within that time there
than ever before in the same period.
Forty years covers the whole production
in Australia and South Africa, and two
thirds of the immense production in
California. From 1S4S to 1896, inclusive,
California produced gold to the amount
of 81 ,2S9, 100000, and only about $4OO, ,OOO,-
900 was produced prior to 1857.
Prior to forty years ago and for forty
centuries gold had been coined and used
as money by all nations. For century
Great Britain has been gathering and
boarding it to maintain the single gold
standard, and at the beginning of the last
forty years a larger amount of gold
money existed in the world, and yet all
that was then in existence and about
one-third Of all that has since been pro-

of people to the Eternal City. and these
brought silver and gold to the local
traders and merchants. Since then
every great city of Europe and of the
world, for the same reason, has essayed
to attract the great army of sight-seers
that abound wherever man pitches his
tent, builds his cabin or rears his pal
ace. Human nature Is the same every
where and at all times. People flock to

where they may "laugh and grow fat"
Los Angeles will be wise, is already wise,
in conforming herself to these idiosyn-

Our strength lies not in our factories,
workshops or mines, the extent of our

doubtedly are, will expand in fair ratio
to the growth of the city. Our strength
lies in the matchlessness of the territory
Of which Los Angeles is the best type.
"All that a man hath will he give for

the duty Of our people to enlarge this
beneficent feature of our latitude by

opportunities to combine in this city
business and pleasure. Let us build a
structure that in being triumph Of
architecture will at the same time be
triumph Of hygiene and Of acoustics,

SUNDAY, AUGUST 1, 1897.
SENATOR WHITE ON THE HAR.
BOR SITUATION

The interview with Senator White on
elsewhere in this mornings Herald, is
not Of an encouraging nature, but it
states the facts as they are, and shows
clearly that the fight is not concluded
going to get it without further strug-
gle.
The senator minces no words nor does
he indulge in idle abuse; but he places
the responsibility for the delay exactly
where it belongs-with Secretary Alger
and the Republican administration.
And back of the whole business Is the
Southern Pacific corporation.
The injustice and flimsy character Of
the subterfuge adopted by Secretary
Alger in order to avoid Immediately ad-
vertising for bids, as contemplated in
the act of congress, is clearly shown by
the senator, while the Investigations
conducted by The Herald have proved
beyond question that Mr.. Alger has for
years been predisposed in favor of
Huntington and Santa Monica on per-
sonal and political grounds. Mr.. Hunt
ington could have selected no better man
to carry out his will if he had himself
named the person to fill the office of sec
retary Of war.
The people of Southern California
have been grossly abused and shame
fully tricked in all the proceedings on
the part of the present national admin
istration. They were given to under
the harbor matter back to congress, tha t
favorable action would early be taken
by congress; that President Mckinley,
having had the facts of the situation
laid before him, would aid in securing
such favorable action. General Alger
himself told representatives from this
section who called upon him after the
senate had passed the White resolution,
that the decision of that body was suf-
fcient to decide his own course, even
without the added endorsemnt of the
house; that in the event of the house
failing to take up the harbor resolution
he would proceed to advertise for bids
without further delay.
These things caused a long suffering
people to add to their exhausted store
of patience, but they have waited in
vain. Speaker Reed saw to it that the
harbor resolution was not allowed to
up in the house. Congress adjourned
without further considering the matter
and Secretary Alger, contrary to his
promise. has made no move in the way
of advertising for bids
1t is apparent that President McKin-
ley must have reconsidered his inten-
ton, If he ever had any, to do what he
could to remove the obstruction that lay
in the way. Secretary Alger would not
have dared act in opposition to the wish
es of the president, had the latter ex-
pressed himself as desirous of seeing
the obstruction removed The president

THE UNION PACIFIC'S CASE

The tariff bill was so prominently
before the people during the closing
days of the extra session of congress
that the very interesting debates on the
Pacific railroads attracted little atten-
ton, comparatively yet Senator Morgan
Allen of Nebraska very skillfully pune
tured the Fitzgerald reorganization"
scheme, by which the government would
be defrauded of about s25, ,00O 900, about
twice the amount that the sugar trust
will profit through the new tariff law.
The Pacific roads monopolists did not
lack defenders. Foremost among them
was Senator Thurston, who, with great
flourish of trumpets, ostensibly re-
signed his position of attorney for the
union Pacific when he took his seat in
the senate. Senator Gear of Iowa was
always on hand to come to the rescue
when the corporation champions got into
a hole. Senator Stewart of Nevada was
also prominent-until he ran up against
Senator White.
The Union Pacific owes the govern
ment in round numbers s52, ,756, 900. The
Fitzgerald reorganization committee
proposes to pay the government s45,754,-
cumulating for the purpose of paying
the debt to the government, which
amounts to ST., 1885, This the reor-
ganization committee proposes to offer
the government as part ofits $45, ,0OOo 900
bid; though what right they have to it
is hard to see. Then they would pay an
additional $2S 900 600 in cash and take the
road. They would have to assume also
the $3S, 900 900 mortgage that exists out
side the governments claim. Thus the
road would cost the committee some
thing like SCI, 100000 eventually.
The new capitalizat tion of this company
under the Fitzgerald plan is $100,0 900
of per cent bonds, $61, ,000, 900 of common
stock and 5000, 900 of preferred stock.
So they capitalize the property at $780,
900, O0O They buy it with a cash expendi-
ture of 2S0O0,0 and a little over, and
they capitalize it at s236,OOO,OOO. That
capitalization, of course, is an admis-
sion on their part that they can earn the
interest and dividend upon the whole
amount of the $780, 100000 of per cent
bonds, SIS, 600 of preferred stock and
the $61 ,000, 900 Of common stock.
Senator Morgan in making this show
ing said: what we thus do for the Fitz-
gerald combine we will be forced to do
for the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany, the Kentucky company and for
Coils P. Huntington. When Mr.. Nc
Kinley consents to become the admin
istrator of this transaction on the part
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration, he
will commit himself to scheme that
will wreck any man that ever lived in
this world"
The Pacific railroad will be very live
issue in congress next winter. The gov
ernment ought to foreclose its claims,
take the roads and run them. Twenty
five million dollars is worth saving.

duced has been consumed in industry, in
loss from wear and tear and in marine
disasters.
AS wealth increases the demand for
gold ornaments will also increase. Con-
sumption in dentistry is many hundred
century ago. 1t has been asserted that
with ordinary production there will be
very little left for coinage; that the
bulk will be otherwise consumed. The
and that which Is coined does not show
all that has been consumed in the arts
and manufactures, for coins are melted
and used to no inconsiderable extent.
otherwise than for coinage, the adop-
ton of the single standard by all the
principal nations has given gold an i'm
portance almost immeasurable. AS II
is primary or redemption money, the
volume Of paper or secondary money
must be limited to what is practicable
to be redeemed with gold. The growth
Of commerce has been immense in the
last half century, and it will keep pace
with the increase of population and of
the facilities for production and trans
portation. Production Is now in larger
proportion to population than formerly,
for in aid of human hands the forces
Of nature are employed beyond any
thing hitherto known. Henry c. Carey
says that machinery in Great Britain
alone performs the labor Of 500, 100000
people. 1t is undeniable that the guam
tity of gold money is inadequate to main
tain a volume of currency which the
commerce Of the world requires. There
fore there is the greatest need for en-
larged production of gold to meet the
growing demands for consumption in
the industries and for larger volume
of the circulating medium,
The increased demand for gold has
stimulated efforts to enlarge its pro-
duction- Nothing under the circum-
stances could be more fortunate than
the discovery in Alaska and northwest
territory. 1t is to be hoped there is no
exaggeration of the quantity reported
as existing there, for whatever it may
be the world will need it all. Not only
all that exists there, but all that can be
elsewhere produced. If the leading ma
tions persist in adh hering to the single
standard it will require a small noun
tain of gold to supply suf1icency of
basic money to meet the demands Of
commerce.

An Arizona Picture

From out an almost cloudless sky, at last
We see a thunderstorm its arrows cast
Its silvery rain and golden lightnings-o'er
This Arizona dry sea-bed and shore.
A tiny cloudlet, black as ink, arose
Somewhere from the horizon. No one

Just where or how, but here 1t is, that we
May learn how great such little things

'Tis now the heated season, and It chose
This mountain basin, wherein to disclose,
Like the magician's hat, at least ten-fold
The store one would suppose the thing

And in this trembling gem the thunder

Fen to our unpoetic burro's thought,
Whose eyes and ears seem charmed and

The murky-green dwarf trees with light

To yon hillside of broken stone-a thing
OF beauty each one seems. Rich dra-

SO softly bout their limbs they charm the

They form the tinted background to the

And delicacy impart, whilst vivid green
Could but disturb the harmony which now
Prevails from hence to yon saw-edg'd

The broad bay slept below them, wrapped

The pathetic Mexican chafes never at

Her Arab rose to the bar 1t saw, to the

AN ENTICING THEORY

The Herald publishes in other col
umns today a letter from Prof. l. N.
Vail of Pasadena, outlining his annu-
lar theory, and giving reasons for his
belief that the greatst deposits of prec-
ious metals on the globe are to be found
in the polar regions. Prof. Vail has
advanced this theory consistently for
more than twenty years, and the recent
developments in the frozen north seem
to come as strong confirmation. If
Prof Vail is right, the world has proba-
bly, entered upon new era in the de-
velopment of the precious metals and
they may soon be found in prodigious
quantities. Prospectors in the far north
may strike the mother of all the mother
lodes from which hitherto developed
mines have held only the driblets and
sifitngs The possibilities are startling. A
theory which offers such an outlook will
certainly prove interesting reading
about this time. Prof. Vail is learned
man, geologist of repute, and his ar
gument is we'll worth careful study.

Remember that impure drinking wa

All the water that is used in drinking or

For drinking you can boil in the tea

in it and let it stand for a moment to
clear, the settings all dropping to the

One or two bottles at time may be
