GOLD AND SILVER.

The table showing the average yearly
output of gold and silver for Germany,
the United States and the British colo
les and dependencies is analysed by
Consul Constable in a. single sentence,
in which he says;
Thus the United States ard the Brit
ish colonies together produce some
what more than one-half of the total
annual output Of gold, and nearly one
half the annual output OF silver
throughout the world
A further analysis of the table indi-
Gates that the United States alone
produces about p per cent of the gold
of the world and of silver 35 per cent.
COMMERCE OF THE NATIONS.
The total commerce. including inn
ports and exports, is given in pounds

Commenting upon these figures, Con-
sui Constable says: Thus during this
period Great Britain's trade has in

States. each by Is per cent, while the
trade of France has steadily declined.
The volume of trade has. it need
scarcely be said, increased to a much
greater degree than is indicated by
these figures, but owing TO the almost
universal shrinkage in the prices of
commodities. the increase in value of
exports and imports has been less than
might have been expected
The percentage of increase of popu-
lation in the leading countries is shown

The London Spectator says: "You
can not rid the average American
farmer of the idea that when silver
and paper money are plenty times
will be good" The average Ameri.
can farmer deserves a better reputa.
ton than this He showed in the re.
cent election that he does not think
silver and paper money in abundance
necessarily make good times. In that
election he declared that silver and
paper currency need bracing up, and
that gold must be used to do the
bracing. The farmer voted for the
preservation Of the gold standard.
1t was the farmers vote that saved
the gold standard from assault in the
next House of Representatives. II
the farmers had been faithless to the
cause of financial sanity tIe Republi.
cans would have been beaten in the
election. In the manufacturing and
commercial region the Republicans
lost grouud. Thev gained ground in
the agricultu al districts. When th g
Spectator digests the recent election
returns from the Western states it
will have a higher opinion of the
American farmer.
