MIR. bNYAN'S visit to Washington
was somewhat embarrassed by the
simultaneous announcement OF he di-
rector OF the mint'that the gold pro-
ductiOn Of III" United States in 1896
was SOS. OrS, 600 and is likely to be
over $50. O0O. 900 in 1897. This figure
for 1896 is greater than for - years.
and If the production for lS9. rX-
CrCdS 60 millions, as is expected, it
viii bc the greatest in the history Of
the country, with the singh" cXcrp-
ton Of lHj'. when it reached 80 mil
lion dollars. The total coinage of
the mintS of the United States in
the fiscal year just about to end will
be in round numbers 100 million dol
lars. That Of last year was in round
numbers ~ millions. In the same
connection it may be remarked that
the money in circulation in this
country is Sl3S. l49, 6l2 greater than
the circulation Il year ago. Add to
these interesting facts one other.
namely. that the gold production of
the world this year is likely TO reach
2JO million dollars, or far more than
any other year in history. and it
makes very unpleasant comhina-
ton for the advocates o. free aud un-
limited coinage ui silver.
