currency in 1873, the striking examples
of an increase of gold supply since the
resumption of specie payments are the
United States and Russia. The United
States was estimatedbh have only $780,
1000 in gold money in 1873. The
amount had risen at the close of 1873,
on the eve Of specie / resumption, to
$213. 1897; but it required the big ex-
ing the next three years to raise the
gold stock at the end of 1881 to $47S,-
4S4,53S. Then came period when the
increase Of gold was checked by the
infusion Of silver into the currency,
which finally left the gold stock at the
close of 1896, after the business devel-
opment of fifteen years. at $500. .597, 1854.
The record of the last four years has
been strangely different.
The suspension of further purchases of
silver bullion and the arrest of banknote
expansion until the passage of the re-
funding law, left Il vacuum for gold
which. was filled like the rush of
mighty golden river down to the present
cent. in three years carried the gold

gold stock of the country is practically
double what it was in the fateful year
1896. when great political organization
was striving to take the country to the
silver basis and drive out what gold re-
manned. The stock of gold in Russia has
diminished a little during the year

after the United States and France, with
Germany pressing closely for her place.
The Russian Empire was credited in 1873
with a gold stock of $149. 900 and un-
covered paper to the amount of $6lS. 400 ,00o.
1t was not until about 1895 that serious
preparations began for the resumption OF
redundant mass of paper. At the begin
ming of 1896 Russia had accumulated IL
gold fund of $4SS, GO, 600. but still had in
circulation a margin of uncovered paper
amounting to $467. 200 COO. While paper is
still used In currency, it is now complete

Four countries. the United States, Rus

81, ,365 900 .000 of the gold money of the
world, or about two-thirds of the whole;

BY means of this National Cat Associa-
ton she managed to secure first the ac-
quaintance, then the Indulgence for the
past, and subsequently the warm friend
ship of many of the great leaders OF LON
don society. For she is remarkably
fascinating and brilliant woman and was
formerly celebrated for her beauty.
Duchesses and countesses were lnduCeu
to identify themselves with the National
Cat Association and incidentally with its
founder Meetings on business connected
with the association led to social inter-
course, and through II all King EDWARD

him in an awkward position.
Since he has become king. Edward has
dined on several occasions with Lord and
Lady Marcus Beresford. He has ap.
pointed Lord Marcus to take charge OF
his stud at Sandringham and of his
racing stables. besides comforting upon
him the Victorian Order. And now we

WORLDS MONEY.
It Has Increased $50 Per Cent
in a Generation.
Stock is About Twelve Billions in
Gold, Silver and Paper.
A Lot Of Statistics Which are Both Interesting
and Impressive.

Only a normal increase in the money
supply of the world during the year
1900 will be shown by the statement
which will be presented by Mint Direc-
tor Roberts in his report for the fiscal
year 1901. The entire stock of money
in all nations on Jan. /, 1900, was stat
ed by him a year ago at Sll, l,620.2 100000.
The stock on JAM l, 1901, will be stated
at $11, ,7S1 100000 of which $4,9O6 zoo, 900
was in gold, $3,841, 100 900 in silver, and
$3,035. 100000 in paper in excess of that
covered by coin reserves. These figures
by their very immensity fail to convey
any adequate idea of the increase in
the worlds stock of money within the
present generation. They actually
show an increase of more than one
hundred and fifty per cent since 1873.
II the demonetization of silver pro-
duced the result ascribeh to it by some
Of the silver advocates, of striking
down one-half of the worlds money"
the gap has since been nobly filled by
the increase in the production of gold
and the expansion in the use of credit.
The calculation of the entire stock of
money In the world is no easy task, but
it has been carried to greater and
greater perfection every year. The la
bor and the correspondence involved
takes time. and hence the estimate for
Jan. 1, 1901, rather than for any later
date. In the United States, where the
statistics are made up monthly, the
gold stock has increased about $61,-
000,000 since the beginning of the year,
and the stock of paper money has in
creased materially, in spite OF the fact
that a part of this increase has been
offset by the additions to the gold re-
sources in the treasury. The follow
ing table gives a birds view of the
remarkable increase in the worlds

Far from finding fault with King Ed
ward for thus allowing this intimacy
between the Princess and Lady Marcus,
am of the opinion that he deserves
credit for it, since 1t is promoting the
social regeneration of woman whose
present life is unexceptional, and who
owing to the circumstances of her first
two marriages, merited some Indulgence.
