The Over-SuppIy of Gold

That high prices exist, there
is no question All average
price levels. whether English or
American, show in eight years
more than so per cent increase
In other words. it requires 81 so
TO buy what 500 would pur.
chase on the average eight
years ago. If these are not fam
ine prices because during eight
years the crops have been
oountiful, progress extrs mely
rapid, and the standard of liv.
ing throughout the world upon
the increase. then the causes
should be sought in the depre.
citation of money. If the statis
ticSaagree 10, showing the guam.
tlty Of gold increasing, the cost
of production per ton OF ore di
minished radically by new in.
Veutions. and the world's stock
of gold showing a marked and
sudden increase, little doubt re
mains. The facts are plain. A
golden deluge is already upon
as. In the year 1900 the annual
production was $1,000. 900. IN
1900 &l2. 600. 600. IN 1900 $685..
GOO. 600. in 1907 $425. 600, coo, and
the rate of increase 10 acceler-
ating. When we remember that
the larger amount of each years
production is added to all that
has been produced before, IN.
like all other commodities, that
at the present rate of accelera-
tion the worlds stock can doub-
le in less than twelve years,
and finally, that the causes OF
the gold food are not sporadic
and exceptional, but entirely ra-
tioual, namely, the ingenuity of
chemists and metallurgists. who
have succeeded in reducing the
profitable working cost per ton
of ore from $14 to less than 81
at the present time, by new iu-
ventious, this question of gold
depreciation becomes easily the
financial problem of the age.
For the amount of cheap gold
ore is unlimited in nature. Mr..
Frederick Upham Ada ms, in the

Washington, April 26.-The special
house committee investigating the

vestigating committee to go around
and find out what the facts were.
introduced my resolution in order that
the facts might be brought out"
Mr.. Stevens took up each specific
charge and insisted that Mr.. Lilley
tell everything he knew concerning 1t.
While he did not withdraw any charge
against the company he would not say
that any one had been corrupted by
the methods used by the company.

declined to comply with the request
the committee will make q demand
for the books substantially in legal ef-
feet of a subpoena tluces tecum
