Director Preston of the United States
mint estimates that the gold production
of 1897 will be in the neighborhood of
$24O, 100000. There is reason to believe
that there will be billion dollars more
of gold in the world by 1900 than there
was when the campaign of 1896 began.
All of which must be highly cheering
for the silverites, especially in view Of
the tremendous fall in the price of the
white metal.

The Progress. (Shreveport, La.) 1892-1900, 1897-05-29

While our people are leveling
their glasses on distant Cuba and
signing over her valiant struggle
for liberty, let them occasionally
lay them aside and look around
upon the heroic wage-earners and
farmers of our Nation who have
for SO long valiantly fought for
their home and bread, against the
powerful trusts and combines
which Congress seems to delight
in protecting.
The Progress. (Shreveport, La.) 1892-1900, 1897-05-29

Wonder if the coming con-
stitutional convention will do any
thing about dealing in futures and
the penitentiary lease? The first
should be either forbidden or heav-
lily taxed, forbidden we think ;
and the latter repudiated and de"
clared a vice.
