WILL THERE Be TOO MUCH GoLp7
minneapolis Tribune.l

minneapolis Tribune.1
Director of the Mint Roberts, in an
article in the current number of the
North American Review, deals with the
question as to whether the supply of
gold is likely to become superabundant.
The worlds annual production CT the
yellow metal Is now somewhat under
$30OO00,000, which is great increase
over the production of q few years ago.
MIR. Roberts thinks that with the close
of the Boer war the output may rise to
$780, 900 annually and he predicts that
unless new uses spring up for 1t the
metal is likely to depreciate in value.
which depreciation will find expression
in rising prices for commodities. How
ever, there is chance that new uses
may be found for gold in the Develop
ment of China and other Oriental coun-
tries where silver is now mainly em-
ployed for money.
1t should be noted in this connection
that with all the large Increase in gold
production so far, there has been no adj
vance in commodities traceable to tnat
cause. Such advances as nave occurred
have been caused by scarcity relative to
demands, for instance. the rise in the
price of corn and various vegetables.
Manufactured products are, on the
whole, cheaper than they We're several
years ago, and wool and wool fabrics
are cheaper than they were year ago.
The increase in the uses for gold
seems to keep pace with the increase in
its output. The worlds business is con-
stantly expanding and making a de-
mand for larger money volume in all
commercial countries. An increased
use of gold In the arts and for ornamen-
tation is also a concomitant OF increas-
ing wealth. 1t will be some years be-
fore the supply of the yellow metal be-
comes redundant. If business expansion
keeps on at the present rate. 1T is prob
able that even a production OF 100000
900 annually could be easily absorbed ii,
another year or two.

AN lNTEMPERATE APPEAL.

A recent religious dispute in one
quarter of Luzon. Philippine islands,
became so fierce that each faction APP
pealed to Governor Taft, seeking the
aid of the secular power against the
other. Governor Taft with entire pro-
prety refused to NEEDLE in the matter,
and took occasion to remind the dis
putants of the entire separation of the
church and state as a fundamental
American principle.
Following this. certain members of
the religious orders in the islands, the
friars, issued an appeal to all Catholics
against the American government.
They declare that Governor Taft has
declared war against God" and de-
nounce the members of the commits
sion as ''rickety brawlers,'' "buffoons,'
talkatiye pygmies, "pusillanimous
politicians" seeking to overthrow the
church under the guise of pernicious
liberty" trying to eclipse the sun of
the moral world,' and call upon all
Catholics to unite against this in
famous and irreligious government"
Such Incorporate and vindictive Ian
guage defeats in itself the purpose of
the inaamed takers. 1t will have no
influence with intelligent and fair
minded Catholics, who recognize the
advantage of religious liberty and free
dom in our nation. These friars have
caused much trouble in the islands,
alienated and aroused the opposition
of the natives, and now seek to create
further trouble by their wild appeal
The reactionary effect will be against
themselves. and if they have been or
are now guilty of injustice time and
the growing enlightenment of the peo-
pie will tend to curb them and correct

stupid things. One was that he left
his cap in the tunnel thru which he
carried out the gold and this gave the
first clue to him. Articles used in Dig
ging the tunnel and breaking into the
gold vault were also left lying about
his lodgings. where they helped to fas-.
ten the guilt on him, and in this man

so much proof aginst him that when
confronted with it he broke down and

AWFUL CORRUPTION UNCOVERED.

A terrible state of affairs exists in the
state of Pennsylvania. According to one
authority thievery, bribery and corrup-
ton are the most conspicuous traits of
her public officials. Hence an appeal is
made for the redemption of the state
from "freebooters' and for the "purifi-
cation of the polluted channels of public
authority" 1t is gravely asserted that
EVERY department of our state govern
ment is honeycombed with profligacy,
dishonesty and reckless disregard of
constitutional or moral obligations 1t
is further charged that the powers of
government are prostituted to the pur-
poses of public thieves that shame
lessly and openly the votes of Legislators
are bought" that the last legislative
body was the most corrupt" ever con-
vened in any state, that the selection of
the last senator was carnival of cor
ruption and bribery" These are only a
few of the choice and vigorous epithets
used. 1t is a fearful arraisnment. There
are men in Pennsylvania penitentiary
that are better than the men that con-
troll state affairs, according to this au-
thority.
What authority makes this charge?
1t is the democratic party, seriously as
sembled in state convention. 20, that is
different" you may be led to say. Yet a
careful and unbiased student of public
affairs may seriously stop and inquire
What do these men mean? II the demo-
cratic platform of 1901 should be pre-
served for future generations and COM
pared with the history of Rome in her
most corrupt days the careful inquirer
might be puzzled to know which was
worse-that is, If he could believe the
democratic declarations.
The republicans control Pennsylvania
and constantly turn the democratic par.
ty down as unworthy of power. VIVA,

be If we take thir arraignment of re-
publicans as basis for an estimate
