Queer Finaucieriny.

Secretary Gage keeps on buying 4
per cent bonds of 1907. That is GER
tainIy a commendable proceeding. The
country wants the national debt reduc-
ed as rapidly as possible. but what 1t
does not understand is Mr.. Cages pol
icy of refusing 10 accept any offers to
sell to the government the new > per
cent bonds of 1880, even at rates rs
favorable as those accepted for the
shOrt-time Issues.
The Secretary says that he does not
expect to buy any of the 1880 bonds at
any price. preferring to take those that
mature earlier. In view Of the fact
that the shOrt-time bonds can soon be
redeemed at par it would seem TO be a
matter of comparative Indifference
whether we bought them now or wait
ed until they fell due. On the other
hand, il may be possible to get the 1880
bonds when we want them. If We buy
up all the short-time obligations in ad-
vance of maturity there will be none
to redeem when they become due. and
we shall have no choice then but to
buy the long time ones ut the holders
prices or stop reducing the debt.
If Mr. Gage had accepted the offer
OF ten million dollars of 1880 bonds
made to him the other day he would
have had that much of the debt safely
out of the way and would still have
had within his own control the securi-
ties maturing earlier.-Chicago Ameri-

The Age of Gold.

The Director of the Mint, in his an
nual report, furnishes some interesting
statistics on the money supply Of the
world. In 1873 one-half of the supply
of metallic money was cut off and seri-
GUS business depression followed, since
then the increased output of gold has
more than made up for the loss of sill
yer and the money in circulation has
increased $50 per cent-a rate of in
crease much greater than the increase
of population.
In 1873 the total stock of money in
the world, gold, silver and paper, was
s., 600 100000. The worlds supply of
money in 1900 was S11,6OO,OOO,O0O.
There has been a gross increase of
81, 600 100000 in the worlds stock of
money since the commission of the
crime of 1873. The increase in the
amount of gold has been $1,000. 600, 900;
of silver. S2.75O. 100000, and of paper,
about 65O,OOO,OO0. The world is using
greater proportion of metallic money
and greater proportion of gold. Dur
ing the last seven years there was an
increase of S95O,OOOSOO in the worlds
supply of coined gold alone.
This bears out the contention of the
bimetallists that more money was need
ed, and silver at that time being the
most available they contended for the
free coinage of silver. The opening of
newly found gold mines and the new
invnnfinnS for a hctr ..ti, GOLD
refractory ore, especially in the United
States, has increased the supply of
metallic money to such large extent
that as result we have. comparatively
with the depression of former years.
good times.
In the United States, in addition to
the vast increase of the money placed
in circulation by the increased coinage
of gold, this government has also for
the past four years coined the silver
bullion in the treasury and issued sill
yer certificates on the same. There has
also been an increase of nearly $780,
100000 In the bank circulation during
the same time, as under the new bank
ing law the national banks are allowed
to issue to the full face value of their
bonds.
This enormous imitation of the cur
rency under the present administration
of gold. silver and paper. approximate
ing $600,OOO,OOO. is still continuing to a
certain extent and to greater amount
as far as gold is concerned in conse
quence of the newly found gold fields
of Alaska. and the day may be not far
distant when the great financiers of
the world may be again looking to some
other medium as a standard of value.
