If any one in 1890 had predicted that
before the end Of the century the an-
nual production of gold in the world
would nor than equal the combined
production Of gold and silver in any
year previous to 1889, he would proba-
bly, have been laughed at. But that is
what happened in 1897, IL the real and
not the coinage value Of silver 10 taken

Success. of the popu,ar Loan.

fuccess of the Popular Loan.
The announcement from Washington
that the war bonds have been allotted
to 100000 bidders demonstrates the
full success of the popular loan. Most
Of the bonds will be issued in small de-
nominations, and it Is said that no bid
for more than $4,000 worth has been
accepted. The securities will all go
into the hands of the people. This
proves that the Americans have conf
dence in their Government and are
willing to lend It their money at 8 per
cent. interest, even though they could.
get a higher rate from the savings
banks. 1t proves, also, there Is not
the opposition to Government bonds
among the people of small means that
INSCRIPTIONS demagogues have pre-
tended to believe there was.
The war loan Is one Of the best re-
suits Of the conflict with Spain. In the
first place 1t has added a large army to
the number Of bondholders. and in
creased by that much the proportion Of
voters who will hereafter insist that
the Governments credit must be main
tanned and its pledge to redeem its
securities in as good money as was bor-
rowed must be kept. The placing Of
this popular loan among the people Of
small will go a long way to-
ward bringing final and overwhelming
defeat to the cause Of the free coiners,
the regulators. and the infiationists.
1t will strengthen the belief in nation.
al honor and make for sound finance
throughout the country.
How much better IL was, moreover,
to borrow from the people the money
needed to prosecute the war, than 1t
would have been to issue q mass Of
greenbacks, as the Popocrats proposed,
or to have opened the minis to the I'M.
