GOLD WILL NOT BE CHEAPENED.

That the Klondike gold discoveries
will result in 80 increasing the stock
OF gold as to check the appreciation
of gold and ultimately to cause an
appreciable rise in prices, as is
prophesied by some. If far from prob
able. The production Of gold in the
world is increasing, but 80 are the de-
mands for gold both for use t.s
money and Tor consumption in the
arts. So, even should the Klondike
gold discoveries result in bringing up
the worlds production Of gold to an
average Of s25O.OOO, 900 year. there
is no ground to hope that gold would
be cheapened and rise i'll prices in
auguratcd. 1t is recalled that ma
terial rise in prices followed the gold
discoveries of California and Aus
traia half century ago. But condi-
tons were different then than now.
To begin with, we had silver to help
gold out. and. In the second place, the
stock of gold WAS much smaller than
1t is today. Therefore, though the
production Of gold was much less In
the years following the gold discover
les Of California and Australia than it
Is today, that srnaller production was
as compared to the stock of gold in
existence. proportionately much
greater than the larger production of
today. There is today an estimated
stock of gold in use as money of over
$4.0O0,O 100000. And the stock is cub
ject to steady depletion from loss.
To replenish this depletion and keep
up the stock OF gold takes certain
amount of new gold. Then there is
about 500, 0O0,00O OF gold consumed
annually in the arts. Therefore, out
OF a producs ion of, say about $780,
600 ono Ut gold, not more than $780,
100000 would be available for ad-
ding to the worlds stock Of gold
money. And such addition would
amount to less than four per cent Of
OAC oboCh VI SOIu LII c4lSUoHC6. 30,
when we take into consideration the
increase OF population. and the de-
! mands of growing population for
money, there is little reason to look
forward to cheapening Of gold. that
is, until we restore silver to tic place
as money metal.
In referring to the Klondike gold
discoveries the Chicago Tribune as
serts that there is no reason to look
for cheapening Of gold, that use
will be found for all the new gold
that may be mined. And then it
goes on to say that @the United
States needs S5OO.OCOOOO more" II
80, there is certainly ground for the
assertion OF himetallists that the stock
Of gold in the world is too narrow a
basis on which to conduct the worlds
trade. That the United States is IN
need OF S50o,000,000 more Of gold,
that we have need of this additional

KEPLEY'S CHANCES.
Democrats Will Have Fusion on No
Other Ground Than His
Nomination.

Unless all signs fail there will be a
complete fusion of all the forces OPP
posed to the Republicans in Shawnee
county. The returns from the Populist
primary which was held Saturday are
still incomplete. Chairman George
Wagner Of the Populist central COM
mittee said at noon that he is satisfied
that the fusion forces carried the day.
The result will undoubtedly be the
nomination of Sheriff Kepley on a COM
bined opposition ticket. The opposition
to fusion has come from the opponents
of Kepley but his friends say today that
out of 80 delegates heard from % are
Kepley supporters.
The principal fight on fusion has been
in the city by forces under the leader
ship of Frank Herald and eX-Chief of
Police H. G. Lindsay. These men have
few. scores to settle and it can better
be done by preventing the nomination
of KepIey by the PopuIiStS than in any
other way.
Sheriff Kepley was seen by a Journal
reporter today but refused to discuss the
situation. He says that he feels conh-
dent of success but would say no more
The friends of Sheriff Kepley claim
that the nomination of Porter Cook for
sheriff will strengthen the chances OF
a fusion victory. The fight on Cook will
be on resubmiSsiOn lines, and it is be-
cause he is not known as a resubm1s-
sionist thai the opposition hope to de-
feat him.
Another thing that the opposition is
counting ON to help them and which
they give as a hope of winning is the
action of the Republican committee in
driving Silver Republicans away from
the polls. What effect this action will
have cannot now be predicted, but the
voters who bolted Purge will not be
likely to bolt Cook, ., is thought.
There has been no formal agreement
between the PopuliStS, Democrats and
Silver Republicans as basis for fusion.
The Democrats would be satisfied if
they were given the sheriff but some
claim that they Should also be given
the coroner. The Silver Republicans
want the treasurer and county surveyor
and the Populists will be given the rest.
When the three conventions meet
next Saturday conference committees
will be appointed TO arrange for fu-
sion. These committees will agree on
a division of the ticket. If, by any
possibility Sheriff Kepley should be
turned down it would put stop to any
fusion deal. The Democrats have their
minds made up that Kepley must be
nominated and fusion without him is
an impoSSibility.
