THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD.

In the great debate OF 1895, one OF
the most forclble and frequent argu-
ments of the "bimetallsts" in favor OF
the free coinage Of silver. was that there
was not enough gold TO supply the de
mand for metallic currency, or as they
put It, mot enough to go around
1t was I'm vain that the advocates for
the single gold standard pointed TO the
enormous increase in the production OF
gold, and at the same time TO the d.
minlshed necessity for its actual use
by reason of the substitutes of Dank
notes and checks. The insuiiiciency Of
gold was recorded as a fixed and i'm
mu,able fact.
The DEVELOPMENTS, however from the
gold mines in South Africa, Australia
in the United States, and most surpris-
ing OF all in Alaska, must tend 10 I'M
settle this article Of faith of the most
deyout bimetalst The great discoveries
in Africa ana in the Klondike region
are entirely additional to the already
weu-known sources of the bouniiful sup
plies OF gold which were being obtained
IN the United States. in Russia, and
Australia. In all these places, but espe-
ciany in the United States, the decline
in the price OF silver has tended to in
crease the search for gold with results
which are 50 far most satisfactory.
In South Africa The gold taken out In
1896 was $Ii.54i 200; in 1897. sj5,252.6e IN
the first four months OF 1898, S2S, ljj, 400,
which at the same rate would give
about s7o,eO0.Oo0 for the year. This from
only one source, and untn recently an
unknown source FOR the supply of gold.
In this connection a writer In the New
York sun says;
"The significant fact in the situation
is that the gold which has been sent TO
as from Europe ESTIMATED to reach one
hundred millions by July lsD has not re-
duced IN the least the aggregate stock
Of the metal held In that quarter, but
has left IL on The contrary larger than

ASSEMBLY AT TERMATH.
Impressions of Richmond Delegate
at the Meeting in New Orleans.

Editor OF The Times:
Sir:-The General Assembly Of the Pres
byterlan Church QSnown as the Southern
which met in Rev. DR.. b. NJ. Palmer's
church, in this city 18th, inst, adjourned
sine die, at 1880 last night, after nine
days Of close application 20 its work
thus closing the thirty-seventh session OF
the body, which came into existence IN
May. 1861. at Augusta, Ga, with the VEN
cradle and honored present pastor Of this
church-Rev. b. NJ. Palmer-as its first
moderator
All our sessions here have been marked
by courtesy and harmony and single
eye to the progress Of our Church along
those conservative lines, which have COM
manded the confidence and respect Of the
Christian world hitherto, her high aim
being that she may ever be witness
bearer and herald Of the truth, which IS
TO be carried 10 all nations.
Many of the commissioners have left
for their homes but quite a number re-
main and will not leave until after the
Sabbath.
The Assembly selected Richmond, Va.
as the place for its next meeting, and
the third Thursday in May, 1892 in the
First Presbyterian church, Rev. X. r..
Kerr, d. D., pastor.
An interesting coincidence IS that the
body met here in response 10 the appeal
Of DR. Palmer. now eighty years old, and
as full Of honor as of years in the es-
TEEN Of this city and our whole Church.
Next year they meet in our city the home
of an equally honored servant Of God,
the Rev. Or. NJ. ID. Hoge. May he be
spared to accord to it (as he Is fully ablel
such a warm welcome as they received
here from Or. Palmer

Of our city. that when the Assembly
meets In our midst next May, we cannot

The Chicago papers make conspicuous
mention Of the fact that one of the banks
OF that city has recently broken its re-
,or1 I'm its line OF deposits. Within one
year the deposits have Increased Sl-VOO'-
900 and recently reached an aggregate
of s.o oo0 600. which was high water mark.
The item I'm itself IS Of no general IN
terest. but It assumes such interest Wheh
,bo veoson for the increase is given.
Great norton OF the increase comes
sro,, the country banks. which have
more money than they know what to do
with. and the country banks are full OF
money because the farmers have paid
themselves out Of debt and have money
10 lend.
II &c no. necessarily a healthy sign
when the banks are thus fun Of money.
This may be due not 50 much to the fact
that the people are prosperous, as to an
unhealthy condition which takes money
ont of tho channels OF trade and puts
Il in bank. When business IS prosperous
there is usually lively dcmard fer
money at a larger rate OF interest than
the banks are willing to pay.
But present conditions now are abnor
nal. Naturally with war waging men
who have money are bit timid about
investing It IN business enterprises. One
thing Is very certain, however, there is
no lack OF money in this country now.
We have been selling abroard millions
and hundreds OF millions OF dollars worth
OF products and have been buying very
little in return, hence We have a great
surplus Of moony and but for the war
