The Jersey City news., 1905-04-10

past Ave years for the purpose Of deter
mining what proportion Of the gold COIN
in circulation is carried out Of the eoun-
try or melted BY jewelers. and other ar
tisans Enough facts have been gathered
to warrant the statement that the month
" losses Of this character aggregate the
tremendous total Of 100000.
The Treasury Department officials will
soon correct the item Of gold coin, in
cluding bullion in treasury" that is car
ried on the daily statement. 1t announ-
ces that The gold in circulation in the
United States and in the treasury is ap-
proSimately 1880, 100000. On March 1
the exact amount was 1881, ,165. 72o.
Mr.. Roberts has learned that this state
ment is wholly misleading and that there
is nowhere near tsat amount of gold ae-
tually within the reach Of the govern
ment. The item as carried to-day is the
result Of estimates that have been made
from yenr to year. based on the exact
knowledge of 1878. In that year the
amount of gold money in the treasury
and in circulation was definitely ascer-
tainesl, being in the neighborhood Of
sl35.cooe0o. Subsequent statements
have been gncsswork, guided by certain
expert knowledge Of men who make 4
business Of keeping informed.
About FIVE years ago Mr.. Roberts un-
dertook to verify the statement carried
in the daily account Of holdings Of the
treasury. He sent ont thousands of cir
eulars TO jewellers, paint manufacturers
and other industries that make use of
gold, asking fol. statement Of the
amount of gold coin that was melted an
nually by each concern The collectors
at the various ports were also instruct
ed to report more accurately on the vol
ume of gold taken out of the country
AMI brought in by returning tourists.
The collection of these statistics has
been nnder way long enough to enable
Mr.. Roberts TO make some fairly definite
calculations. He figures that 100000
worth Of gold coins is melted every year
in the arts and taken out Of circulation.
This represents a tremendous loss that
has never been taken into account in
past estimates. At least S300.000 in
gold Is taken out of the country by tray
elefs every year. which will make am
other hole in the paper statement of gold
in circulation. Mr.. Roberts found one
New York firm that uses nearly 100000
OF gold coins year The metal is melt
ed and made into preparation for use
in gliding china and other ware. In re
ssponse to an inquiry why the firm did
not employ in bars instead Of coins, the
fact was brought OUT that coins have just
enough alloy in them to suit The pur-
poses of decoration and ornamentation.
Something like $5o.ooo.ooO or s75,0oo,-
900 viii be cut off of the item of gold
coipfin circulation as represented in the
treasury statement when Mr.. Roberts is
prepared TO announce his final conclusion.
While tliis will represent a great reduc-
tion in circulation it will really have no
effect whatever on actual conditions. 1t
will be merely paper reduction.
