GREAT HOARD OF GOLD,

MVEARLY one thousand, three hun
/ Y dred tons Of gold lie today in the
vaults OF the treasury Of the United
States-the greatest hoard OF the yell
low metal ever gathered in the history
OF the world Four hundred tons of
this gold are piled, like bags OF salt,
within the four walls OF the sub. treas
nry in Wall Street, New York. Out
side the treasury hoard, there is in
circulation through the country a
nearly equal amount of gold coin,
ima1ing more than two thousand, five
hundred tons Of gold in the United
States, bearing the imprint OF the
eagle. The value OF this coin is more
than one billion, two hundred and
sixty million dollars, says Success.
One OF the remarkable things about
this gold is that, despite the fact of
its forming one-half Of the country's
circulating money, it is rarely seen in
the course OF ordinary business. One
may live in New Y, rk or Chicago or
San Francisco without seeing a single
gold coin for year. This is in strik-
ing contrast to conditions abroad,
where gold is everybody's coin. The
gold sovereign Of England is as cur
rent as the five-dollar silver certificate
OF this country. There man with
small income may not have piece OF
paper money (the five-pound Bank OF
England note is the smallest) in his
hands for months. What becomes OF
all our American gold? The mines
Of Colorado, California, Alaska, and
other gold-producing regions Of the
West add eighty million dollars a year
to Our hoard OF gold, and three fonrths
OF this output goes to the mint. The
yearly coinage actually approaches in
value the entire circulation of silver
dollars.
The treasury holds in trust, against
outstanding gold certificates, four hun.
dred million dollars in gold coin.
These gold certificates range from
twenty dollars to ten thousand dollars.
They are issued from the treasury in
exchsnge for gold coin or bullion, and
are just as good as gold. The English
man wears his pockets out carrying
gold coin around with him; the Am.
erican prefers to have his money in
the form OF representative paper that
can be folded compactly in his waist.
coat pocket. In the sub treasury at
New York City can be picked up
handful of gold certificates OF the val
ue OF three million, six hundred thou.
sand dollars; the bundle could be stow
ed away in ones hip pocket, and re.
presenting seven tons OF gold. Stored
in the vaults Of the building at this
time is a hoard Of gold coin OF the
value OF two hundred million dollars.
In one vault, no larger than the bed
room OF New York fiat, is an aggre.
gate of seventy.eight million dollars
in gold. This is stored in little
white bags slowed away in scores OF
steel boxes, covering the four walls of
the vault from floor to ceiling. Every
box is sealed, and some of the seals
are dated several years back. The
= first thought, at sight OF this gold
hoard, is that it is idle money, but it
should be recalled that all OF it is in
circulation by rloxy in the form OF
gold certificates.
