DISTRIBUTION OF
GOLD PRODUCTION


I $3.50, 100000 the production In
1905 Is almost certain to exceed that
total, ana IL is not unlikely to
reach the s4OO, OOO,O mark. The
estimated January production in the
Rand shows a large increase over
December, and 1t is predicted that
the total Rand production this year
will reach about 500, 900. 200, or
$40, 10000 more than last year.
The large importations OF Chinese
labor seems to Justify this predic-
ton. Every known field of gold

the striking results of last years
operations.
A large production of gold being
assured, the question of most interest
il the distribution of the gold-how
much Of IL will go into the arts and
sciences, how much of 1t will 60 into
the worlds stock of money, and how
much Of IL will be hidden away no
one knows where? It Is with gold as
money or as IA reserve against credit
that the business man Is chiefly In
terested.
IL Is we'll known fact that not
all of the gold which Is produced In
the world gees into the stocks of
money. Between 1895 and 1908
the amount of gold In the monetary |
systems of the world increased from
81, ,O6s, 100000 to s5, 1882, 600, 900

the seven years intervening between
1895 and 1903 the worlds product |
OF gold amounted to 81, 09i, 298. 900.
1t will be observed that only about
"a per cent of all the gold produced
In those years went into the stocks of
Where did the remaining 36
per cent 40 toy
A large portion OF IL, Of course,
went into the arts aud industries of
the world. The commercial use of
gold IL large. hut the statistics
covering this use are necessarily de-
feotive, and, moreover, the amount OF
gold employed In the arts and in
hustries varies from year to year.
The amount Ia usually computed at
% to b per cent. 1t may he larger
than that, but there Ia reason to
believe that there Is u portion of the
gold which does not 20 into the mon

PERSISTENT LIEEERERz.

William G. Liebererz of Stroh, Ind,
is-we should say was-a man of de-
termination. When William set out
TO do a. thing he did it thoroughly At
least we judge so because Of his method
of quitting the cares and sorrows Of
this earthly sphere. William died the
other day. and this is the way he did it:
Paris green, one ounce.
Wood alcohol, one pint.
3.-Slashed wrists with knife
A-Shot himself in the head.
Cut throat with razor.
6.-Shufied off this mortal coil.
Surely. after all these efforts. I.ieber-
err deserved-the passing he so earnest
~ sought. The trouble is that his
friends will never know whether the
paris green, the wood alcohol. the
slashed wrists, the bullet in the head
or the cut throat did the work. VIII
liam, it appears, was somewhat of a.
hog. Any reasonable man would have
been satisfied with one of Iiebererz's
methods.
And any contemplation of this case
would be incomplete without the refee-
tiOn that, if Lieberez had shown one
half Of the determination to live and to
succeed in life, TO make himself hannv
and to make others happy. that he
showed in dying. he could not have
failed to be one of the most successful
and beloved of men.

cAFETY OF INSURANCE.

The policy-holdcr who cancels his pol
Icy with the Equitable Life Insurance
company. CA any other solid company,
is throwing away dollars aud cents.
While the management of the Equitable
has been a disgrace To the whole coun-
try. and while its earnings for policy
holders have not been as high as they
would have been with honest men in
control. the funds OF the concern are
intact and it is as solvent as the United
States treasury so far as ability to meet
its obligations and protect its policies
Us concerned
1t is natural that the public should
be Stampeded by the exposures of fraud
in life insurance. and the first instinct
OF the ordinary man is to get out of a
corporation in which such scandals are
possible; but the conservative investor
ought to know that the Investments of
the large insurance companies together
with their necessary legal reserves. are
ample to cover all policy obiiga lions.
Now that investigation of all the New
York companies is promised it is likely
further exposures will be made but in
any event. the principal of the funds in
VuIved is safe and no insured man
should get alarmed and sacrifice the
savings OF months or years simply be
cause officials of the companies are
shown to be unworthy the trust reposcd
in them.
An OF the crOOkedness so far shown
has been in the management of the
enormous incomes from insurance
funds; in no case has there been any
evidence of impaired principal or re-
serve; and even where some of the
loans made seemed weak they have
been made good The very fact that a
reform is I'm process is the best assur-
ahCe policy-holders can have that the
future OF their companies viii be on a
sOiid basis.

LOW HEROES DIED.

The first account of the destruction
of the Japanese cruiser Takasago,
showing how the men and officers went
to their death singing and shouting
banzais for their emperor. has just been
published. There is nothing more inn
pressive in modern history. No men
ever looked more calmly into the face
OF death than did these brown sailors
in the wintry sea that engulfed four
hfths of their number.
The Takasago struck a Russian mine
last December. A report that she had
gone down was denied by the Japanese
war office. and it was not until after
Togo had defeated Rojestvensky that
the truth was admitted. The Japanese
government apparently didn't see any
thing remarkable or unusual in the fact
that the sailors of the Takasago went
braveIy to meet death. Their behavior
was considered a matter of course, not
a special example to be bulletined for
the benefit of the army and navy to in
spire them
All that the Japanese war office saw
IN the incident was the destruction of
a fighting unit. a loss that must be
concealed from the enemy. and the
world lest some advantage be taken of
it. And there lies the kernel of the
Japanese nut the Russians tried so hard
and so Intellectually to crack. There is
no such thing as vanquishing a nation
made up of such men as those of the
Takasago. men who seem to think no
more OF dying than other men think Of
performing the most ordinary duty II
the Japanese had been the occupants Of
Port Arthur and the Russians the be-
siegers the fortress would not have been
captured in a thousand years. It would
have been necessary to kill every one
of the defenders and that could hardly
have been done.
