Precious Metals Statistics Showing
 The Various Outputs.

The United States treasury de- partment recently issued circular giving much valuable information in regard to the production of precious metals, the coinage ot metals, etc. The following abstract gives the salient points touched upon:
 With regard to gold. In 1903 the worlds output was l5,963, 3,45O fine ounces worth 3O.O0O, GOO, against S96, 100000 in 1875 Of silver the output was l7O,OOO,OOO fine ounces. worth S91 ,S00,O00, but of d 70 called coinage value of $219. .797 800. The worlds coinage of gold in 1902 was $220, ,405, ,l25, against S466,llO,614 in 1899, and S257 ,630SO2 in 1873, Coinage varies greatly with the years the value in 1874 falling to $l35, l78,- 3S7, and in 1886 to $94 ,642,O1O. Much gold is used in the form of bullion and an increased quantity is consumed in the arts.
 In the U :. the gold output m 1 1903 was about $74,42s, GOO; Of silver. S3O 520, TOO worth, of q coinage value" Of 73,076,100. In l 1902 the United States produced 1 &Sf 0n0 pO0 worth of rold: huStra- l lasia. $Sl, ,5IS, S,OO0; Canada, $20,- l TAI 200: Mexico, SO, 153. 100; Africa, S39 ,O23,7 TOO; China, SS,13l, 500, British Indias, S9,5SS,lO0, an q I Russia. $22. .533 400. South Africa is at present producing S63, 100000 year. the Transvaal and Rhodcsia both having greatly increased thlr output. The gold standard E now established in all countries except certain of the Central American states. China, Mexico and the Straits Settlements. Mexico and some Of the states of Central Amer ica are contemplating the adoption
 of the gold standard. The stock of gold on hand of the United
 States at the end of 1902 is put at SPAS, 100000, or $15.64 per capita l the per capita silver being $S.44,
 and paper S5.7l; total $S29.79

 Britian is put at $13.1S; in Aus
 tralsia, $23.3S; in the Transvaal l $24.23; in France, $24.36; in Ger

is no doubt OF the authenticity Of the
report with reference to the death
of the Griffins.
In st. Charles neighborhood the
negroes largely outnumber the whites
and trouble has been brewing for a
long time. 1t is said the negroes for
the past two years have been getting
insolent and beligerent, 1t is now
believed that the leaders Of the I'M
ruly element have been killed and
that further trouble will be averted.
Yesterday was election day, and
usually on such days st. Charles is
crowded with negroes, but during
the entire day only two negroes were
seen in town, and these two appear
ed in the morning and stayed in the
village but a short time. Near st,
Charles negroes are quiet and are at
tending strictly to their work.
The trouble originated last Mon
day, when the two Griftins met two
white men, brothers, named Searcy.
The Searcys, who were fishermen,
and she Griftins had an alteration q
few days before, and when they met
the trouble was renewed, One OF the
negroes armed himself with the leg OF
chair and, with his brother, as.
saulted the white men, beating them
30 severely that one OF them Is now
on the verge of death and the other
is in critical condition. In an ef-
fort to arrest the Grlffins eleven ne.
groes have been killed. The death
OF the two Griftins swells the death
list to thirteen.

TWO MORE DEAD IN

Thirteen NEGROES TO DATE
Brothers Who Precipitated the
Conflict Slain by St.

Little Rock, Ark, March GA
special to the Gazette from Dewitt,
Ark, says: Two more negroes have
been killedin the clash between whites
and blacks at st. Charles, fifteen
miles from there, in Arkansas coun-
ty. This brings the total of dead
negroes up to thirteen, all OF them
being killed within the past week.
The last two negroes killed were
the Griffin brothers, Henry and
Walker, who were the cause OF the
trouble. The negroes were reported
to have escaped, but it is known that
they are dead, and it is believed they
were killed yesterday. Owing to the
remoteness OF st. Charles and to the
fact that the news OF the result Of
the riot is not given out freely, II is

Judge and our relations were always
pleasant. | have supported him
heretofore in every race he has made,
but in this contest | deem it proper
to lay aside personal friendships and
preferences, and vote for Joseph W.
Folk, on account Of the principles he
represents, although | have not the
good fortune to be acquainted with
him.
Folk has done his whole duty pros
ecutiug wealthy and influential crimi-
mails, when weaker souls would have
faltered, and every one knows that
he could have received from these
bribe givers enough money to have
lived like a prince the remainder OF
his days, il he had quietly neglected
that duty. He is as incorruptble as
Samuel Adams. His strongest oppo-
sition comes from those same wealthy
and influential criminals, and the de.
feat OF him would be a victory for
them and will be so regarded. We
cannot give the youth of the land
such an object lesson as the defeat oil
Folk would be. We must not say to
them he who discharges his duty
shall be rebuked by his countrymen,
but he who resorts to wholesale brib.
cry and systematic villany shall be
gratified and exalted.
AS democrats we opposed the force
bill, the troops and deputy marshals
at the polls, and the returning boards
and frauds Of republican leaders. II
cities are permitted to be run by
force and fraud, and it is not check
ed, the country will soon be ruled in
the same manner, also. The hour Ii

and vote-buying. Elect Folk FOL

are both young in age, politics, ant

advance them later If we think prop

more interested in party success. The
contest for the nomination should
be but skirmish before the big
fight at the polls. We have no fear
hut the choice OF the convention will
be victorious, but we always deplore
the tendency OF over enthusiastic ad'
herents of candidates claims to
furnish ammunition for the enemy's
guns. We never iail to express a
choice for governor in season, but
We aim to do So without disparity to
any other candidates claims.
II a man is unworthy or incompe-
tent, orr his public or privaterecord
is such that his nomination would
endanger the success OF the ticket,
a hard fight Is justified to prevent
his nomination, but where a man
has clean and unassailable record
in public and private affairs, and is
worthy the high honor, the fact that
he is not acceptable to q class or
faction OF his party does not justify
a personal campaign Of vituperstion
to encompass his defeat. We have
watched with much interest the fight
being waged against MIR, Folk and
we have ehdeavored to weigh fairly
and Justly every charge made
against him, and we must confess
that we can find no good cause in
any and all of them combined that
would disqualify him from being ali
acceptable candidate for the Demo
cratic party for governor OF Mis-
souri,. His honesty and courage has
not been seriously questioned by his
most ultra and vindictive critics, His
ability as o lawyer has been ques'
toned, but we know OF no better
guage in testing mans ability In
lie than by the results no accom-
plishes, and certainly Mr.. Folks
work stands as very strong re-
buttal to such a charge.
The charge that Mr.. Folks OPP
ponents most seriously urge is
party disl0yalty and irregularity.
We do not hesitate 30 affirm shat
il a man is not loyal to his party he
is not deserving OF party iavors. 1t
is charged that Mr.. Folk did not and
persistently refused 10 akespeeches
for the Democratic ticket in the city
OF st. Louis, in 1902, although re-
peatedly urged to do so. by party
leaders. This being true, it was a
grevious fault. And what is Mr..
Folks answer That he did refuse to
make speeches or take part in that
campaign for, what appeared to him,
the good and conscientious reason
that as public officer he was prose-
cutting Ed. Butler for bribery and
that jim Butler, his son, was head
ing the ticket, and that to publicly
defend the Buffers on the stump while
he prosecuted them in the courts,
was a grave inconsistency between
political and public duty, and
he preferred to be loyal to
his public trust. Mr.. Folks
whole past life has been exploited
He came of good Democratic stock,
OF southern parentage, and his VIII ole
political life has been open as his pri
vate life, and this once constitutes
the sum OF his offending. We are
not condoning or defending Mr..
Folks party disloyalty, We are tell
it as it's told to us and let the reader
be his own Judge.
But we do not hesitate to say, that
after summing it all up, we do not
believe the case is made strong
enough to disqualify him from being
worthy candidate OF the Demo
cratic party if a majority of the Dem
