Great Increase In Gold.

The assertion has often peer made
by advocates of silver reputation that
the great increase in the production of
gold during the past few years did not
correspondingly add to the supply of
that metal which was available for use
as money. 1t has been claimed that
the production was barely sufficient
TO supply the demand for gold for use
in the arts and as jewelry, and to make
good the loss of gold coin and the
wearing away of gold used as money
and in other ways. 1t has been vigor-
ously denied that any important addi-
tions were being made to the gold sup
ply of the civilized world.
According TO an eminent authority,
Ottoman Haupt, the gold held in the
treasures of the principal nations of
the world and in their banks has stood
as follows. from the end of every year
from 1890 to 1896, and on April 80,
1897:
1890. 1910, SOC, 900 1894. .s2,0i1, 100, 900
1891. 1868, 600, 900 1885. 2,132, SOC, 900
1892. 1,7SS, 0O0, 900 1896. 1926, 400, 900
1893. 1895, 800, 900 1897. 2,42O, 800, 900
1t will be seen that the total has in
creased 60 per cent since 1890 and that
the average gain has been nearly $780,
OO0, 900 a year. In the same period the
production of gold has not exceeded
81, lis, 000, 900. 1t appears, therefore.
that the increase in the stock held by
the principal treasures and banks has
been equal to about 80 per cent of the
entire product of the gold mines Of the
world. Twenty years Of the same
rate of production and accumulation
would give the same banks and treas
uries over six billion dollars in gold,
and there would be more than twice as
much gold money in the world as there
is now. 1t is certain that the increase
in the population of the civilized world
in that period will not exceed 20 per
cent. so that the dullest brain ought
not to have much trouble in ~disposing
of the absurd silverite claim that the
supply of money, on the gold basis, is
not increasing as fast in proportion as
the population.-Cleveland Leader.

What Canada Can DO.

Canada's tariff discriminates against
the United StaIes-but that is all right.
We are told. though. that if our tariff
discriminates in favor of our ships, re-
taliation and all sorts of troubles will
follow. And SO Canada is able to do
what we dare not to do.

to describe the act Of humanity on
which he founded his claim.

replied the cnuntryman. II might
easily have killed him with this
blsdgeon,'' and he swung his weapon
in the air, to the iltcuse discomfort Of
the president.
But where was this wolfe" inquired
the latter. What had he done 10
