The Increased Production Of Gold.

Nothing is so annoying to the silver
advocating a debased currency and at
tempting to show the advantages of a
44-cent dollar. as the fact that the
worlds supply Of gold is rapidly in
creasing. 1t has been pet argument
with them that the supply Ct gold was
inadequate to the worlds demand. ard
that higher prices for products ami
labor were due solely To the apprccia-
ton of gold. They have loudly pro
claimed that the rapidly widening diff
ference between the values of gold ami
silver, was due to the increasing price
of gold rather than to the decreasing
price of silver
The falfacy of this argument has
been repeatedly shown III many ways
and il anything is needed to complete
the discomfort of he free silver men it
is found in the recent great gold dis
covcrics that are adding in enormous
quantities to the already abundant pro-
duction of the yellow metal. Not to
speak Of the Alaskan discoveries al
most fabulous in their magnitude and
faryroaching in tncir consequences
several other sections of our own cotm-
Try and of other continents are an
bouncing a largely Increased output of
gold. For many years the United
States was the greatest gold producing
country III the world, and the annual
increase has been very large The
Alaskan discoveries and the numerous
rich finds in the Northwest will not
suffice however, to put us in the lead
again. South Africa and Australia
have not only produced more gold IL
the past few years. but vast discover
les of new gold fields there have been
made to balance the North American
discoveries
IN 1891 the United States produced in
gold from it's mines 5000 o00 more than
in 1896, while in the single colony Of
West Australia alone an equally large
increase was made. and the TransVaal
yielded $4,000 600 more gold than in
1896. The United States production Of
gold in 1891 was about SD. 1000 600, and
the new Alaskan and Northwestern
discoveries will add Very many million
to this for 1898. There is every indica-
ton that the African and Australian
output viii increase in fully as large
proportion for 1898 and for years to
come. Under such conditions and With
such a prospect for the future the Po-
pocratic slogan that the worlds supply
of gold is insufficient for it's demands
will quickly fade away into a wall Of

Sunday Bull Fighting in Mexico.

twenty good lawyers from the United
States. send them to Mexico. and the
next generation will see the sons OF
these men. as barefooted boys. riding
bareback on mules, with their nan

their sombreros, going to a bull fight On
