ONLY ELEVEN BILLIONS.

An increase OF more than 100 per
cent IN the money or the world In less
than a generation Is an exhibit of the
annual report OF the director OF the
mint Nearly the whole OF this in
crease is I'm metallic money, and much
the larger portion is IN gold The to-
tai stock reported I'm 1873 was about
$4,000, 100000. More than half of this
was in paper money not fully covered
by the metallic reserve. The situation
at the beginning of 1900 showed to-
tai monetary stock of about $11,600,-
100000, OF which only a little more
than one-fourth was in uncovered pa
per money.
Director Roberts finds that while
the money supply of the world has in
creased about S7000.OO0000, the in
crease in gold money since 1873 has
been about $3,60O.0 100000. In silver
about So 700,O00000 and in uncovered
paper money only about S65O,OO0000.
A large proportion of the increase in
gold has taken place within the short
space OF seven years, while the quanti-
