Tho world,s ontnut of Gold.

William =. Bonbright 81 Co of Col
Dra6o Springs say in their mining letter:
Tho world is entering upon an era
If largely increased gold production-of
this there can be little doubt Never
has the search been carried on with
such vigor, over such wide areas or
with such general success. The causes
which have produced this increased gold
thirst need not he stated here; that it
exists has been strikingly shown in tho
| rapidity of the spread of the Klondike
excitement and the eager exploration of
other new goldhelds, as we'll as in the
| largely increased production of the es-
tablished districts 1t should be possible
mt this time to form an Intelligent esti-
mate Q? the extent of this increase and
to forecast the output of the current
year Barring some calamitous occur
renee, the product of the Cripple Greek
district will be fully $4,000, 600,
gain of 81 per cent over our figures for
1896. Colorado's output should reach
$40, 900, 600, which exceeds Director
Of the Mint Preston's 1896 figures by
"a per cent, or gain of 10 per cent for
the state outside of the Cripple Creek
district Sixty millions of dollars seems
at the present time very safe estimate
of the production of the United States.
"The worlds output Of gold for 1896
was about S2lS, 900, 900 From present
indications no very large increase is to
be expected from either australasia or
Russia The South African increase,
however, promises to be notable. The
Rand output for the first six months of
the current year exceeded that of the
corresponding period of 1896 by about
80 per cent, and while it is not likely
that this ratio will be maintained
throughout the year the increase may
very easily lie 20 per cent, or about S9,-
900, 600. The highest percentage of gain
viii doubtless be found in the case of
Canada and the British northwest,
where the production is likely to jump
from So, coo, COO in 1886 to $4,000, coo
in 1891, the result largely of the phe-
nomenal output of the Klondike Based
on these figures, the prediction may
safely be made that the worlds gold
production for 1897 will approximate
$240, 100000, gain of about 10 per
cent over the preceding year.

China end Legal Tender.

Before the illegal tender" trick was
introduced to give forced currency to
fiat money gold and silver passed from
hand to hand at its bullion value. The
Chinese still stick to that form Of deal
ing. All gold and silver coins are cur
rent in China for exactly what they arc
worth when melted down. There are
still many things in finance and mer-
chandising in which "the heather Chi
nee" can give us valuable instruction.

THE INTEREST BAROMETER.
Interest Rates Are Lowerin Gold Thn

Interest Rates Are Lower In Gold Than
in silver Standard Countries.
1t will pay silverites who want cheap
money-that is, money ant low rates of
interest-to study the rates of interest
charged in gold and silver standard
countries and to compare the average
rates of interest on certain classes of
loans in sound money states, which
never favor repudiation, and in states
which favor free coinage and which
sometimes favor reputation of debts.
1t is difficult to get exact figures of in
terest rates in different states and coun-
tries, but the statistics obtainable are
lot favorable for the farmer who votes
for free silver with the expectation that
it would enable him to borrow money
at low rates of interest.
According to the last census, the aver
age rate of interest on farm mortgages
in 1890 was 1856 per cent. The rate has
undoubtedly declined since then, ex-
rept, perhaps, in certain states which
are voting and legislating against cap
ital. The rate is also higher than on
most other classes of securities. 1t is
probable that the average rate of inter-
est in this country is now considerable
less than six per cent. In England,
France, Germany and many other gold
standard countries it is undoubtedly
less than five per cent. We have, how
ever, put the rate on the barometer at
elk per cent
In Mexico, Central and South Amer
lean countries and in most other coun-
tries on silver basis the rates of inter-
est will probably average more rather
than less than ten per cent. Statistics
on ordinary loans on farm mortgages
are not available for comparison in
these countries. Perhaps the most
available are those prepared by Prof.
Irving Fisher and published in August,
1896, by the American Economic associ-
alton. These show only market or bank
rates of interest in London, Berlin,

liver Mines Owned In England.

Mr. Edward Atkinson, who is in Lon

silver mines in the world, reckoned by

city. Silver is large British interest,
and free coinage in the United States is
naturally much desired by this interest

Paris, New York, Calcutta, Toxic and
Shanghai for series of years, and of
course these are far below the average
rates. Prof. Fisher finds that the aver
age bank rate of interest from 1875 to
1879 was 3.8 per cent. in the four gold
standard countries and 10.1 per cent
in the three silver standard countries
In silver standard countries the rate
had fallen but little, the average for
1904 being 1917 per cent. In gold
standard countries the rate had fallen
over 25 per cent, or from SO in 1904
These facts tend to show that there is
some good reason why interest is
lower in gold standard countries. They
are confirmed by the further facts that
many large loans and some small ones
made in silver standard countries are
made payable in gold and at rates of in
terst far below those prevailing. One of
the alleged reasons why Japan has
changed from a silver to gold basis is
to obtain lower rates Jf interest on
loanswhich she wished to negotiate.
There is more in this subject of cheap
money than some silverites dream of
The best money is, in fact, the cheapest
If the borrower thinks otherwise, lot
him have his cheap money and pay the
increased rates of interest charged for
it.-Byron w. Holt. -.
