THE GROWING GOLD PRODUCT

It is plain that 1904 will show a
considerable increase in gold produc
tion over 1903. For example, the re
turns which have Just come from the
Rand Show an output of $6,64O, 900 in
value in October as compared with
5000 in September and smaller
amounts in the preceding months OF
the year. There is a steady grow.
in the gold production of that richest
of the worlds gold fields, and which
the gain is not as rapid as had beer
expected at the time the Boer war
ended in May. 1902, it is continuous.
and the total is now up to very high
figure.
There is some doubt as to whether
the United States will, in 1904. make
much of gain. or any gain. over 1907
This country's gold production in
1903 was s73 900. which was al
most $1,000 900 below the output In
1902. The decline was due to the labor
troubles in the Cripple Creek region
the United States most prolific gold
field. The labor troubles however, ex
tended through the first seven months
Of 1904. Although the Cripple Creek
field yielded s2.0OO.0OO month in
the past two months. which is up to
the highest figures of that camp in
1901 and 1902, the increase comes SO
late In the year that Colorado's ag
gregate production for 1904 will be
very little if any above that OF the
year preceding.
But the Rand and Australia are
showing gains which will very much
more than Offset any decrease. As
Alaska's mines are steadily increas.
ing their output. there is a chance
that the United States yield in 1904
may go up close to that of 1901 and
1902. when the $50 900 900 mark was
touched . Australia's $4,000 900 and
the Rand's s6S 900 900 will be consid-
erably exceeded this year by those 10
calities, from present indications. so
that the aggregate gold product OF
the various countries will be sure to
gain. In 1903 the world at large pro.
duced 1925, 900. 900 gold and the chan
ces are decidedly that this figure will
be pushed up to or beyond $3.50 900,
900 in 1904. That long predicted $500.
100000 annual gold output may be
realized in the calander year 1905 II
the United States by that time gets
above its record of 1901 and 1902

WILL BE HIS OWN PRESIDENT.


Theodore Roosevelt will enter office
on March 4. 1905. under conditions
which will permit him to be more in
dependent of dictation by politicians
or localities than any other President
in the past eighty years. Monroe had
no organized opposition to his secono
election, and he obtained every vote
cast In the electoral college, excep,
one. which was given to John Quinc!
Adams, Monroe's secretary of state
who was not looking for the presiden
cy at that time. There was opposition
to Roosevelt in the recent canvass,
and 1t was violent and unscrupulous.
1t was voiced by the yellow press OF
New York and other cities. and some
of 1t was expressed by newspapers
which had dropped into yellowness for
this occasion only. His antagonist on
the Democratic side assailed him with
an indecency never before shown by
a presidential nominee in the United
States toward his opponent But all
this counted for nothing. Roosevelt
made clean sweep OF all the states
from the Atlantic to the Pacific with

Recently the Chicago Inter Ocean re

that the vote of Illinois for Debs tins

$4,000 in excess of the total vote ne
received in the United States four
years ago.

one remark made by Mr.. Debs in
his enthusiastic prediction of Social
list success in 1908 ought to be con
sidered by the Republican party and
in marked degree, by the Republican
majority in the next House of Repre-.
sentatives. Mr. Debs. after stating
that Senator Hanna had declared thai
the great struggle would be fought
between the Republicans and the So
cialists, said:
The Republicans are chagrined al,
the greatness of their victory They
have now absolute power to deal with
the trusts and no excuse for their
failure TO do so will be taken.
And the saying is true, though not
in the sense of the senseless attach
on all corporate existence. which Dcbs
and his followers advocate, and would
bring to pass If instrusted with power
The Republican party is pledged 10
right and proper revision of the tar
iff schedules and to control and reg.
ulation of the trusts and of corporate
eNistance on the lines laid down by
the Chicago platform and followed
with consistency by President Roose
welt. The difference between Republi.
con control and regulation of the
trusts and the program of Socialism
is Unreasonable. Yet if there is not
a fulfllment of the promises of the
Chicago platform and an upholding o;
the stand of President Roosevelt
there will be found an increase in the
Socialist vote of 1908 that will be dis
comforting. to say the least of it.

LAND FOR ARMY POST.

Transfers of the Kahauik leaseholds
to the United States government We're
yesterday filed in the Registry of Con-
veyances and all is now clear for the
establishment of the great military post

an army reservation. The intention or
using the land for military post is
expressly stated in the preamble Of the
deeds filed yesterday,
