ing No Trace.

The Mississippi democratic plat
form congratulates the country on
an addition to the worlds stock Of
money in the past eight years Of
~, 900, 100000 In gold, and at
tributes this to an act Of God
through human instrumentality Of
discovery and invention. Such a
declaration will scarcely he accepted
by the business men of the country
as an equivalent Of a simple declara-
ton in favor of the maintenance Of
the gold standard, but, certainly.
the enormous increase In the pro-
duction of gold In the past few years
may we'll be attributed to an act Of
God, who stored this wealth In the
bills, and inspired men with courage
and skill to discover and mine It.
The increase in the production OF
gold has been nothing less than mar.
velous. In 1873 the worlds stock Of
gold was estimated at 1,2Os, 800.
900. On January /, 1908, the
worlds stock Of gold was estimated
ut s5, 382, 100000. Here Is gain
of $4,000, 900, 900 In thirty years.
The Wall Street Journal few days
ago published statistics showing that
the gold production since the year
Il 800 had amounted to s8,903, 400,
600. In all the preceding years
since the discovery Of America by
Columb bus, the total production wss
s2,456, $4,000. More gold haa
been produced since 1891 than In the
three centuries preceding 1900. Of
the total production Of gold since the
discov sry OF Amertca, nearly one hsli
Of Il has been mined In the last thirty
years aud Of this amount thirty pe'
cent by the United States.
But, while the enormous produc'
ton Of gold may we'll amaze Us. the
problem OF it's distribution puzzles
us. Where has all the gold gone
to that has been produced since the
Lydians began to com money? The
worlds production Of gold since
1873 accounts for all except about
$500, 10000 of the present stock OF
gold in the world, and the production
from 1860 to 1872 was more than
double $500, ,OOO,OO0 Where. then,
has all the gold gone to that was
mi aed before 1860? Apparently
ther. Is no trace of it anywhere, un-
less il be found in the art objects In
which gold is used.
The amount of gold that goes into
the arts and sciences varies each year.
and it's amount is by no means easy
TO determine. The director OF the
mint estimates that in 1902 the
insdustrial consumption OF gold
amounted to s75, 5,7G4, 400. The
total production of gold In that year
WAS about $3.50. 900, 900, so that the
use of gold in the arts aud Industries
amounted to little over twenty
FIVE per cent of the amount mined
Accepting this percentage as a basis
for calculation, it would appear that
of the total production OF gold from
1892 to 1908, amounting to slo.'
9s5,lsl,OOO, the proportion that
went into the arts aud industries was
s2,746,29 $50. This leaves a bal
ance Of %, 23s, 8s5, 750, which should
apuear it would seem, In the records
of the worlds stock OF gold. But

Washington, July 26.-Through the

Conger.
State department officials are 10th
to discuss the situation until more of
the attending circumstances can be
learned, but the prevailing opinion
here tonight is that the United States
must look direct TO Russia for restitu.
tion Of the destroyed property of her
citizens. Meanwhile the question Of
the destruction of the ship is one be-
tween England and Russia
The knight Commander was owned
by an English company, was sailing
under the British flag, and was under
chsrter by Howard Holder, Rowatt &
Co, of New York and London.
In diplomatic circles the situation
created is regarded as exceedingly
grave. The opinion is generally ex-
pressed that unless there is some nit
isating circumstance the act is one
which could hardly have had the Off
cial sanction Of the Russian govern
ment.

The strike at the big packing houses

OF cured meats. The fresh meats are
as plentiful as ever, but some Of the
local grocers have very little ham or
bacon, and can't get any more. As
the packing houses have made 1t un-
profitable for farmers to cure meat in
large quantities, the farmers have
little ham or bacon TO sell, and the
result is that the people Of Paducah
have to buy the salt meats wherever
they can find them, and unless the
strike is settled it will be but short
