such states political gatherings are nu-
merous, the canvasstng Is close and the
expenditure Of money large. The eau
ton which grows out OF the fear that
the other side may be making great
en- effort or better impression on the
voters leads to strenuous effort, and In
many instances to unwise OUTLAWS Of
funds.
To the national committees work
there must be added the features Of
state congressional. county and city
organizations that expend large sums
and repeat in a restricted measure the
efforts of the larger organization. so
that the total is an enormous sum. and
as stated by the writer above quoted:
Reckoning all the expenses in all the
states, 1T may be roughly estimated
that a presidential campaign. including
also congressional, gubernatorial and
lesser campaigns, causes the total ex-
penditure of perhaps s2o,ooOOo0.'

COST OF NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS.

Very few have an adequate concep-
ton of the amount ~ money spent in d
national campaign. Perhaps the total
amount can never be accurately ascer-
tanned, as the leaders of parties are re-
ssluctant about giving publicity to such
regarded as legitimate. During recent
years the work has been more. thor

head of#committees The money con
tributions are used to carry on the can
vass in the paymentof the expenses of
speakers. etc. a writer in the Worlds
Work for November claims that in 1876
more than 100000 were collected md
spent by the campaign mana gers OF
the two parties. Four years later they
had at their disposal more than $1,000
600, and in 1884 the campaign disburse-

national campaign OF 1882 the expendi-

FUTURE GOLD PRODUCTION.
New York Worlds

The figures OF the gold production OF
Alaska furnished by the Seattle mint
place our new possessions beside Call
Ifornia, Australia and South Africa as
Sone OF the worlds great gold areas. In
Etwenty-six months the mint has re-
#ceiyed ssS,0O0,OC0 of gold and bullion.
For the first nine months OF the cur
rent year the receipts are $50, 900, 900 1t
lities that within ten years the gold
put of s12o,0000O0 Il Year.
For this and other additions to the
worlds stock of gold several important
results will follow, not only for this
country. but for the whole civilized
ard uncivilized world. The California
and Australian discoveries pushed the
annual production of the world from
an average of about s10.ooo.oOO to more
than 800. 0O0.00o The further discov-
cries in Alaska, South Africa and Rus
STA have pushed the amount up to the
$500, 100000 mark. and the result of
1 these increases has been the enormous
Industrial development and expansion
which has been the leading and deter
mining factor in the history of the CEN
tury.
If with the re-opening of the South
African mines and the development of
the klondike and Cape Nome districts
we are to see the worlds annual gold
supply pushed up TO four hundred or
even five hundred million dollars it is
safe to predict that as a consequence
the new century will witness a marvel
Gus development of the energy and ac-
Itivity and capacity Of the human race
in Industrial effort far beyond amy
thing in history.

part ne had chosen was that of the

from Bryan, but he was heroically res

upon the convention, forced free silver
again into the platform. and made up
his mobile face for the dignified part
he had selected.
But il became evident later that Bry-
