Assuming a great increase in the
annual production of gold because of
the Alaskan discovery, yet fail to see
how prices will be materially affected
by such increase. Credit in it's various
forms, whatever it was in 1876, is to-
day much more potent factor in
regulating exchanges than actual coin.
We have coin in sufficient amount
now in circulation, or we would have
it if it were not crowded out of the
channels of circulation by excessive
issues of legal tender paper.
With Improvements in production
constantly lowering the cost of pro-
duction, the tendency will be toward
lower prices, and this will apply to
silver bullion as well as to other COM
moditieS.
Any sudden increase in the coin in
circulation might have a temporary
speculative effect upon prices through
its action on credit. The theory, how
ever, once in vogue that prices are alb
solutely fixed and regulated by the
amount of coin in the country is no
longer entertained.
If such were true the flood and tor
rent of silver injected into the circula-
ton during the last 20 years would have
caused general prices to increase rath-
er than to fall, as has been the case.

MUCH GOLD IN PERU.
Hostility of the Natives Makes Min

San Francisco Examiner: Malcolm c.

turned recently from Peru. where he
made an effort to investigate the gold de-
posits in that country. Mr.. King says
that there is no question about the rich
ness of the Peruvian gold mines, but that
it is almost impossible TO reach them be-
cause of the hostility of the natives
There is no question about the i'm
mense quantities of gold in Peru said
Mr.. King. II am satisfied that some of
the richest mines in the world might be
developed there if the natives could be
driven out of the country. But the In
dams resist the advance of the white men
bitterly. and it simply means extermina-

A great discovery of gold would not
prejudicially affect the contention of
the advocates of bimetallism, that it is
only by the restoration of silver to a
legal equality with gold. as full stand
ard money. that the agricultural and
business depression now existing in
America, in England, in Germany, in
Canada and Australia can be termin-
ated, and the production, trade and
business of these countries restored to
normally prosperous conditions.
If a great discovery of gold, in ad-
dition to the worlds stock of gold coin,
now estimated to. amount to something
over four billions, will have the effect
of stimulating trade and business it
will be a demonstration that an addi-
ton to the worlds stock of standard
money is advantageous. 1t will be a
demonstration of the contention of the
bimetallists everywhere that there ia
need of addition 10 the worlds stock

]. &. LESSON.

One of the arguments of advocates of
larger use of silver as a medium of
exchange and money current is the
necessity for its U.S. on account of an
insufficient supply of gold for the
worlds monetary uses. Obviously one
effect of a, great gold discovery may
well be to weaken the force oil such an
argument. Conservative investigators
have not conceded this point, and the
comparative ease with which Austro-
Hungary, Russia, Japan and other ma
tions which have within recent years
adopted gold as the measure of value,
have been enabled to secure it from the
worlds accumulationS would seem to
sustain any doubts as to the INSULT
cheney of the worlds stock of minted
gold.
While it is conceivable that such
superabundance of gold as is contem-
plated by the query may result from
the increased quantities now being
mined, as might render gold relatively
less valuable compared with silver, it
is hardly likely from present indications
that such an effect would be produced
in the immediate future.
During the progress of civilization
the tendency to substitute for the va
rious purposes of mankind finer or
baser metals would seem to have been
liar tendencies will continue to pre-
dominate. A fair inference would sug-
gest that substitution of gold for silver
in the arts, in coinage, and for other
purposes at a steadily increasing ratio. |
Should this result transpire it is not
difficult to conceive the further effect |
which many believe to be impending |
the gradual substitution of silver for
coarser metals, SUCH as copper, into |

such a consummatieu it may be pre-

the nose, horn or beaks, is the sterrhol-
ophus fiabberatus, which wears an
enormus pair of horns, and the natives
say there are many others that they
have not ventured 70 examine closely.
These dinosaurs are not built for
mountaineers. so they stick to the
plains. The EsQuimaux climb the
Buckland mountains. by which their
villages are protected from the dino
saurs and the enervating south winds.
Looking down upon the plain west of
the Richardson mountains they see
vast numbers of the monsters, the diff
ferent species frequently engaging in
fierce conflicts, in which the horns and
beaks of the triceratops do great eXecu-
ton.
"Once they saw sterrholophus that
had captured grizzly playing with
the powerful animal as a cat with a
mouse Finally it caught the bear on
its horas, tossed him straight uD to
prodigious height, and opened wide its
cavernous mouth, into which, upon his
descent. the bear forever disappeared
from the public gaze.
Readers who join the modern Argo-
nauts viii ponder the above facts, and
camp among the grizzlies rather than
venture upon the moors infested by
monsters that would lick up men as if
they were ants"

ROBERT TREAT PAINE, JR.

A. great influx of gold would affect
the silver issue beneficially. The silver
issue is not the free mintage of silver,
as an end desired in itself; it is solely
a means to an end-the attainment in
some degree of a standard of value
that shall be fair to all classes, to the
debtor as we'll as the creditor, the
farmer as we'll as the mortgage, the
the capitalist Silver men are not sill
would claim. Silver mining does not
essentially interest them, but the prop
er supply of money does, and intensely.
Therefore, were gold to pour in from
Alaska as it formerly did from CalifOr-
MIA, the metallic imitation would have
an invigorating influence and would
stimulate business. Prices would tend
TO rise, as they did so gFatifyingly in
the sos, and the simple economic con-
tention of the silver men in the last
campaign would be illustrated so plain
ly that even gold men would see that
the improvements in production may
lower prices, yet a fall in prices may
be accelerated, retarded, or even coun-
terbalanced, by changes in the relative
supply of money.
For a generation, while commodities
have been falling in price, gold, not
produced in sufficient quantity, has
parted company and has disastrously
doubled its purchasing power over
them, TO the detriment of those who
have little and the benefit of those
who have much. 1t would, therefore,
be blessing if Alaska should now try

modern times.
The present supply of gold coinage in
the world is about S. to s6 per capita.
