THE NATIONS WEALTH.
united States Trcnsurer Roberts Say
Ours Is Richest Gold Country
in the World.

San Francisco, Oct. 24.-All the
gold mined in the world during the
year 1902 was worth $4,000 900 OF
this the United States furnished $780,
100000.
This was statement made before
the closing session of the con-
vention of the American Bankers
association Friday by Ellis H.
Roberts, United States treasurer. His
speech was on THE effects of the
inflow of gold"
In the United States on October 1,
1903, the value OF the gold money was
$1,277 ,362.651. The amount held in
the national treasury was $654,S11,-
TIC.
Mr. Roberts produced a long array
of statistics to prove the contention
that gold is the foundation of our ma
tional prosperity and said: "Our
stock of gold is double that of Great
Britain. The increase in five years
here has been $37G,O21,3S7. In that
period Great Britain has added 9O.O0O,-
900; France, $137,700,00O; Germany.

100000, while Russia lost $40, 100000,
and in several other countries there
has been reduction. In all of Eu-
rope, the total gain in the same in
terval has been s449.60O,O0O. At the
present rate our gain before this cal
endar year ends, in stock of the yell
