MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
A Daily Increase OF s362,3o4 for
Eight Years.


During the last eight years of RepubIi-
can administration the increase in the
volume of our currency has amounted
to S3352.3M per day, or more thar $780,
100000 per month-the total increase
being $1.O14, 716,561. This increase has
been chiefly and directly due to the poll
cies of SOUND money and protection.
BY the act passed Dec. IS. 1899. by a
Republican Congress O42 Democrats vot-
ing against it and only IL voting for it
in the House of Representatives and %
| voting for it and 2 against it in the Sen
ate). and signed by President Mckinley,
the gold standard was sanctioned by law,
then firmly and irrevocably establish
ed Just as free silver would have
driven gold from the country according
to the famous Gresham law that bad
money drives out good money!" so this
positive committal OF the country to the
gold standard resulted in n large gain
of gold to our currency. The %increas-
ingly large output of gold from Alaska,
California, Colorado and other Western
States remained in the United States
instead of being driven out, as would
have been the case had free silver tri-
umphed in 1896 or 1900. Not only this,
but the United States gold standard drew
to this country much of the gold produc-
ed in South Africa and other parts of
the world.
The policy of protection also contribut-
ed to our ability to keep our own gold
and get more gold from other nations. for
it made the balance of trade favorable.
