The organs Of the gold gamblers, who
are not at all particular as to what
sort Of argument they use, or how con-
Trajectory, or inconsistent their posi-
ton may be. have struck upon new
line in the shape OF the output of gold
from KIondyke. which they say will
probably become so plentiful that the
scarcity Of gold money will cease to be
an argument of any weight for free
silver coinage. They forget that this
is fatty contradictory Of their other
favorite argument that We need some
thing stable as a basis for our currency
and that gold because Of its scarcity
is stable; and, also, that on account of
the scarcity of gold and the plentiful
ness Of silver the true ratio be-
tweeL gold and silver is the present
market ratio on the unjust gold stand
ard. which, Of course, Just cuts the price
of silver in half. namely, 30 to 1. If
gold is to become as plentiful as the
goldbug organs now say it is, all right,
for it will completely knock the bottom
out Of their choice arguments.
The gold organs are either ignorant
of the truth OF are endeavoring to play
dishonesty upon the supposed ignO-
rance of their readers. According TO
the figures in the report just issued by
the director of the geological survey
the production of gold in the United
cf,+es -i,c, 1857 Is rs follows.

The average annual production Of
gold In the world from 1878 to 1886
was Sos. 796. POO, and the average for
the next eight years beginning with
1887. S134,129. 675, showing an increase
in the gold output of about SSO,OOOCOO
year The worlds output for 1894
was S179,955,COO.
These figures show a steady increase
in the production of'gold. They do not
show the amount Of gold that is con-
sumed in the arts. Suppose that the
new Alaskan gold strikes should pan
out as they promise AID the worlds
gross product should reach S200.eO0,OOO.
this would leave about Sl6O,OOO, 600 per
year to go into coinage which would be
considerably greater than the gross
product Of silver reckoning on a ratio
of 15ls to I. What becomes OF the Oft
repeated argument of the overproduc-
ton Of silver? It is very probable that
the production Of gold for the next ten
years win be SSO.O39. geo per year great
er than the production Of silver and per
haps fifty millions. This may be the
best argument possible for the frse coin

This line had been in dispute. and certain OF the
property owners. who, being q prejudiced lot
and set in their ways. objected to boing assessed
for taxes on the same property in two counties.
made such a row that q new survey was in
stituted. Being an enthusiastic amateur photo
graphcr, Mr.. lie Fevre took along his camera,
and spent mach OF his spare time in taking pic
lures of the locality which is very beautiful.
