WHY SILVER IS NO LONGER THE
PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

SILVER fepuDlCanS recognize the IdCl
tina conditions have changed nightly
in the past three and a half years. They
realize that many of the old arguments
we used in favor of silver have been
weakened by the great economtcalchanges
which have taken place and that this is
the true reason why silver has been re-
tired as the m issue before the
people.
AmOng the prime causes which have
served to minimize the silver question,
is the fact that since the campaign of
1896, when only a fraction of the worlds
population were doing usiness upon the
gold basis, many nations have gone over
to the single gold standard. Among
them Japan, with it's A, 900, coo popula-
ton, Russia, with it's 125, 600, GOO; nearly
every South American republic; India,
with it's 300, 900, 600 population, and the
United States with it's IS, 900, 900, has also
been placed permanently upon the gold
basis. So that today about half the
worlds population, including about every
civilized nation, has placed its currency
upon the gold basis.
But perhaps the most significant, as
well as the most potent, of all the causes
lies in the tremendous increase in the
worlds production of gold and the re-
sulting increase in the volume of money.
Last year the production OF gold was
$315, 900, 900. This year it will approximate
the enormous sum of $500, 900, 900, an
amour greater than the production of
gold and silver both in 1896. And this
increase in the production of gold gives
promise of continuing indefinitely.
Under the rule of Paul Kruger only a
small fraction of that immense gold
bearing reef in South Africa extending
from johannesburg to Pretoria, has
been open to mining explorations. But
under the more liberal administration
of Great Britain which is certain to pre-
vail, that whole tremendous ledge, forty
or fifty miles in length, will be opened
up to development, and with the result
as predicted by experts, that the gold
output from South Africa alone will
likely reach the fabulous sum of from
$3.50, 600, 900 to $3.50, 900, 900 per annum in
a few more years.
With these proba Utilities confronting
us, and with the constant increase in
our production and that of other coun-
tries, it is not to be wondered at that
interest in the silver question. as a ma
tional political issue, has largely
diminished. and it may be safely pre-
dicted that at no time in the immediate
future will the political parties again be
divided upon this as the paramount
question.

Spots and Futures,

The cotton market has at last
taken a turn for the better, but it
is too late to help the producer as
the crop is now in the hands of the
spectators and they will be the
ones to reap the high prices now
paid for the staple. To-day's quota
tions here on the home market is
for middling s cents and good mid
ding 50. The Liverpool market
quotations for spots is 10 3-l6, and
the prices are getting higher daily.
The future market that was kept
in the bounds of 7 cents on up to
the half mark has now climbed up
to 8 cents with 80 points added.
Everything looks as though it
would get higher yet. Our local
