World's Gold Production.

Col. Bryan, and other leading silver
ties who are insisting on having the sill
yer fight over again next year, will
find small encouragement for that
cause in the latest statements concern
ing the gold production of the world.
The argument in 1895 was there was
not enough gold to serve as stand
ard of value; hence the advocacy Of
double standard, which would lead
to fuctuatIng silver standard and the
retirement of gold from the country.
The Commercial and Financial World.
reviewing recent address before lead
Ing banks by the British chancellor of
the excheQuer Csecretary of the treas
ury) sir Michael Hicks-Beach. notes
that he referred to the remarkable in
crease Of the worlds production OF
gold.
In 1896 the total production was val
ued at 100000. The present pro-
ductIon of gold equals the production
Of both gold and silver a few years
since, the principal increase having ia
ken up quarters In the United States
and Russia. A short time since the
first consignment of this seasons gold
dust from the Klondlke reached Seat
tie, Wash, and with 1t a reported esti-
mate of S2O,OOO,OOO as the value of the
calendar years Notwithstanding
the production of the two preceding
years.
In South Africa the indications are
that the gold product this year will
show an enormous increase, while that
in the United States will show an in
crease over that of last year equal to
last years increase over the year be-
FORE" 1t will be recalled that the re-
cent report of Mint Director Roberts
of the gold production for 1895, showed
that the total production for the United
States, including Alaska, exceeded
Ss4. OOO.O 900, an increase over 1897 of
100000. 1t is notable also that
the several gold producing states of
Colorado, South Dakota and Montana
maintain their relative positions in the
order named.
This is a remarkable and significant
showing. II the Chicago platform is
re-adopted by the national Democratic
convention next year, the main argu-
ment used in support of the silver dec
laratIon of 1896 viii not have even peg
for foundation to stand upon. Aside
from these facts, it remains that, after
passing through an expensive war since
1896. and with an expensive insurrection
on its hands. the credit of the country
and the Integrity of its dollar were
never in better condition.

EsTERHAzY CHEATED HIM.


How the Count Once Got the Best OF
New Orleans Telegraph Operator.
New Orleans Times Democrat: Count
Esterhazy, who has figured SO proml-
nently in the Dreyfus trial. has been In
New Orleans several times" said a
guest at the Grunewald hotel last night.
II myself saw him on one OF his visits,
and was present when he did some ca
bling to France, the cost OF which, or,
rather,'a portion Of the fee, he DELHI
erately defrauded the operator out of.
1t happened this way: Esterhazy had
come In town by one OF the roads from
the north and went TO the Southern Pa
clfic depot to board train for the west,
While waiting for his train he remem-
bered that he had some cabling to do,
and walked over to the telegraph opera
tor in the building and asked for
blank. The operator gave 1t to him,
and the Frenchman wrote out quite
lengthy, coded cablegram and addressed
II to private party In Paris. BY this
time there were only few moments
left for him to get aboard the boat, and
the operator had to hurry in looking up
the rate. To arrive at the exact figure
necessitated some little calculation, and
the operator, to expedite matters Tor
the noble count. told him the rate and
asked him to make the calculation, too.
This the Frehchman, who was evidently
quick at figures, did, ,and had finished
n moment before the operator called out
his result. and asked II that was what
he made 1t. Esterhazy looked straight
at the operator for n second, as though
reading his very thoughts, and unhesi-
tatingly replied. at is correct" He
paid the amount and hurried away. A
few minutes later the operator discov-
cred that he had been paid just $40 less
than the correct amount he had made
an error in his calculation, and the
count had taken advantage Of his err
ror to save the money. The young man
Immediately wired ahead OF the train,
asking the conductor to see Esterhazy,
explain the calculation and request the
$40. The conductor complied, but when
he had explained 10 the noble traveller
the latter only shrugged his shoulders
and replied that 1t was no concern OF
his. And the operator made good the
shortage from his own salary. II was

eunton's Magazine for September
has pertinent article addressed to the
politicians who propose to make cam
paign issue next year against the trusts,
desiring to know what the programme
Is TO be. The agltators who, perhaps,
would have sympathy from many peo-
pie II they were to outline the real in

ed upon to say, "lf the antitrust war

IN the absence of definite plans, It is
remarked that IL we are not to sup
press all, there must be some specific
line Of distinction between those to be
crushed and those not to be. Gun

which?
The question is, on what economic or
political reason is the distinction to be
made? The economic experts who are
20 be at the coming conference in St.
Louis should be able to explain the
distinction. They should give a rea-
son why corporation Of half million
capital IS a good thing and one with a
million or more IL a bad thing. for the
public wants to know where the dis
elimination comes in as a matter of
principle. In all the publications this
point has not been treated Of Gun
toms holds that the war on trusts is
really a war on corporations, for all the
trusts have been dissolved and convert
