The Business Outlook.

1t is hard to tell what a year will bring
forth. but with good crops and plenti
| ful supply of gold there is at least q
reasonable ground for believing tna'
prosperity will continue for some time
to come. The wheat crop Is short. but
the corn crop Is abundant and tho cot.
ton crop Is one OF the largest the South
has ever produced. a Richmond banker,
who recently returned from New York,
said that he had never known Southern Sc
curities In such high favor as now, and
that the very tern. was name, ~ con-
lure with.
The supply OF gold has enormously In
creased within the past several years.
The official estimates Of the gold pro-
duction in,ss,,the United States and in the
world for 1905 as recently made by the
director Of the mint, are:
1908. 1902.
United states........s 73,5e1,1oo sso,oo0,0N
The world. ........ 800, 527,20o 225, $50 500
It will be seen that there was slight
falling off in the product OF the United
States, but there was q largo increase
in the worlds product. duo in the main
to gain in Africa and In Australia. The
decline in the United States was caused
by labor troubles in Colorado. B
Tho Wall street. Journal calls attention
TO these important facts: First, that
the gold production in 1905 was the
largest on record, and. second, that the
production In 1901 is almost certain to
exceed by far the production Of last year.
The Journal notes also that OF $620.O00 600
Of gold produced in the past two years,
s2D.oo,ooo or 40 per cent. went into the
vaults Of nine leading European banks
and the national banks ofsthe United
States. The following table shows the
condition Of the gold reserve Of these
banks in 1902. 1903 and 1904:

In the past eight years the gold taken
out Of the mines OF the world amounted
81 rs r q
to $2.17O,4 900, of which nearly 81 500 ooo,-
GO has been added to the stock Of
money. If this rate of production should
be sustained in the next ten years. the
stock OF gold money in the world would
be nearly s7,o0oooooDo. We attach little
importance to the claim made by some
that the world is threatened with gold
initiation. AS we have pointed out in
previous articles. there is much paper
money to be retired and there is no
danger of having too much gold. But 1t
is nevertheless fact that The moi c gold
we have the richer we shall be, and the
greater the supply OF gold money, the
surer will be our financial foundation

Irving to Buv the Election

The Republicans are making vigorous
campaign and are raking the country for
money to aid them in carrying tho cleo
ton for Roosevelt. The following letter
is submitted In proof. It is from the
National Roosevelt League, whose head
quarters are in New York. and there is
picture OF President Roosevelt at the
head to give it force. It reads as follows !:
New York, September 20, 1904.
Dear Sir,-The National Roosevelt
League was organized to ensure the cleo
ton of Theodore Roosevelt to the Office
Of President of the United States.
To this end the New York branch OF
the League has taken the more impor-
tant districts Of the State and all the
districts OF Greater New York in hand
and organized them so that all voters may
easily avail themselves OF theSopportuni-
ties provided to enroll their names on
its lists. The results thus far attained
are highly satisfactory, the accession to
Its ranks even at this early date in the
campaign amounting to over 5000.
THE league is now arranging district
and mass meetings in Greater New York
and the outlying districts. and expects
to have at least one hundred meetings
during the coming seven weeks.
An important cam palgn OF this char
.acter can be successfully conducted only
II the necessary funds are placed at the
disposal OF the treasurer.
You are earnestly requested to help
support this important work, as without
the financial aid of it's best citizens a
national campaign Of such Importance as
the present cannot be carried on. a
Democratic victory must be prevented by
all honorable means, al the result would
unsettle business in all its phases. We
confidently count upon your assistance.
Contributions should be. made to the order
of Jacob II. Sch!ft. treasurer, at No. So

Although q disastrous war Is being waged

i as no other similar convention has en-
,joyed Great progress has been made In
this direction since 1889, when delegates
s OF twenty-six nations at The Hague
signed treaties relating to war and arbi-

honal Court OF Arbitration was there
4 estab lished. and twenty-one OF the most
Important Of the twenty-six nations have
ratified the conventions and appointed
Exty-seven Judges Of this court In 1892
at the Pan-American Congress in Mexico,
all the cities Of South America asked for
admittance to The Hague Court Ten
OF them signed the treaty to settle their
4 mutual difficulties by arbitration and Spain
followed with similar treaties with nine
spanish-speaking nations on the Ameri-
can continent. Intelligent and patriotic
men in all nations are paying especial at
tenion to this subject. and at the ST.
Louis Exposition instructive literature,
showing the cost OF war and the absurd
ty of war is circulated freely. 1t is point
ed out that Englands war with the Beers
