THE COMING VALUE OF GOLD
AND SILVER SINCE THE YEAR
1892 Is THE SAME.

WASHINGTON, D. ca prelimi-
nary standardization of a series of
tables bearing on the production of
gold, prepared by the bureau of sta
tistics, was made public today. Ac-
cording to the figures presented the
worlds stock of gold has increased
about one-half in the last decade,
and doubled in the last quarter of a
century. The stock of gold money is
practically seventy-five per cent.
greater than a decade ago.
The tables show the gold prOduc-
ton of the world since the discOv-
cry of America and the amount of
gold money in the world, country by
country. The gold production from
the discovery of America to the pres
ent time" it is stated, aggregates
$13, OO0,000,000, speaking in very
round terms; and the amount of gold
now in existence is estimated by eX-
perts, still speaking in round terms,
at 81, 000,000,000 value, while the
value of the gold coin in all the coun-
tries of the world from which sta
tistics are available now aggregates
81, 00,000,000.
OF the $13,OOO,OOO,OOO worth of
gold produced in the world since the
discovery of America it is stated that
fully one-fourth came from the mines
of the United States.
Tables regarding silver production
show that the coming value of silver
produced from the mines of the world
since 1892 is practically equal to that
of the gold produced in that period
-$13, 900, 100000. The annual pro-
duction of silver continues to slowly
and steadily increase as to quantity
and coming value. Stated in COM
mercial values, however, the figures
are materially less.

GOLD DOUBLED IN QUARTER CENTURY
MAKES RAIN TO ORDER.
California Farmers Delighted, and
Pay Hatfield $4,000.

A Los Angeles dispatch says:
"Rainmaker'' Charles NJ Hatfield
has returned to Los Angeles from
the San Joaquin valley, where he
spent the winter in successfully in
creasing the rainfall of that section
of the state from eight inches, last
years record, to 1921 inches for
this season. The San Joaquin farm
ers, delighted with the prospects of
bumper crops, have paid the rain
maker $4,000 for his services. In
his "rainmaking" Hatfield did not
use explosives. His method was to
place large trays containing water on
top of towers twenty-five feet high
erected on elevated points. AS the
water evapOTated under the rays of
the sun the yapor, combined with
electricity and chemicals, was used
in causing the moisture in the at
mosphere to condense into rain.

ECHO OF HARPER WHEAT DEAL.
Judgment of S5,OOO,OOO Against the
Once Famous Spectator Is Sold.


The last vestige of the once ia
nous Cincinnati case-the collapse
of the Fidelity National Bank and
the fall of E. L. Harper and his
efforts to corner the wheat market
was cleaned up in Cincinnati on Mon
day, when the 100000 judgment
against E. l.. Harper was offered for
sale by George c. Rankin, receiver
of the bank. The sale was held in
the First National Bank building.
The judgment offered was the last
asset of the failed bank, and was a
receivers judgment, secured by the
receiver against Harper to cover the
amount owed the bank when it
failed.
Harper speculated on the Chicago
board of trade over twenty years ago,
and failed in running a wheat corner.
He served several years in the pen
itentiary at Columbus, Ohio, for
using funds of his bank to bolster
up his corner.

WHERE PEWS ARE HIGH.
st. Johns Sittings Rise From 500
in 1916 to $4,000.

Last week a pew in fashionable
st. Johns Episcopal church in Wash
ington brought $4,000. 1t was pur-
chased by Mrs. Frank B. Vrooman of
man is the daughter of Gen. John
G. Black, civil service commissioner.
This is not the only high price paid
for a pew in st. Johns. In 1916,
when the edifice was built, the pews
sold for 500 each. But at the time
the church organization received the
money and not pewhOlder, as was
the case with the one sold last week.
A few years ago Representative
Geo. II. Huff of Pennsylvania pur-
chased from an estate the pew di-
rectly in the rear of what is known
as the presidential pew" paying So
$50 for it, Mrs. Vrooman's bench
is directly in front of the presidents.
In the year 1920 the church was
enlarged, and the number of the peWs
increased to POP, giving it a seat
ing capacity of about 700 At that
time the church sold the additional
peWs at 500 each, the price charged
for those sold when the church was
built.
From the sale of the pews since
that time the church has derived no
benefit. From the sales made by
former holders in many cases peWs
have remained in one family since
the founding of the church, the Haa-
ner pew being one of them. This
seat has never been owned or kept
up by any one else.

CLAY BIFFS SUGAR TRUST
GEORGIA SENATOR SAYS NOR
MON LEADER FIXES PRICES
OF BETS FOR SUGAR.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Declaring
that Joseph F. Smith, the head of the
Mormon church, every year fixes the
prices of beets in the interest of the
beet sugar factories of Utah, rather
than in favor of the producers of
beets, Senator Clay in the senate to-
day called forth a Characterization
of his statement as absolutely I'M
true" by Senator Smoot, himself an
official of the Mormon church. Mr..
Clay declared that Mr.. Smith, as
president of the beet sugar factories
of Utah, received $4,000 annual
salary. 'He is always in favor of
the factories and against the grow
ers," said Mr.. Clay.
Upon Mr.. Shoots denying this
statement Mr.. Clay declined to be
interrupted further.
Clay Attacks Sugar Trust.
Severely arraigning the so-called
sugar trust, and urging a material
reduction in the duty on refined SUI
gar, Mr.. Clay discussed at great
length the various phases of the beet
and cane sugar districts. He argued
that the consumer is Disseminated
against in favor of the American Su-
gar Refining Company, and that the
sugar grower gets no benefit of the
differential between the duties on
raw and refined sugar. He criticized
most severely the manner in which
the sugar schedule of the Payne bill
was framed.
Contending that the American SUI
gar Refining Company owns the prin-
opal refneries in the United States,
and is almost without competition
in refining sugar, Mr.. Clay declared
that the duty on refined sugar al
most prohibits the importation of
foreign sugar into this country He
said that the beet grower and the
cane grower of sugar both are com
PEELED to sell to the sugar trust at
the price which it fixes. Comparing
the wholesale price of granulated SUI
gar in Hamburg and in New York,
which he said was 2.31 cents per
pound cheaper in Hamburg, Mr.. Clay
figured that the American consumer
pays a difference of $136,OOO,OOO for
its refined sugar. Of this, he said.
the government gets $53,O00,OOO in
customs duties, while, he said the
sugar trust gets the other $83,O0O,-
600.

The senate in executive session
Thursday afternoon met the snag of
cOnstituti0nality when 1t attempted to
approve the governors appointments
Of the members of the normal school
board. The clash came when Senator
Randall opposed the naming Of Sena-
tor Thomas Majors of Peru as one OF
the members of the board. Senator
Ransom does not often agree to the
appointment of republican to any
Office. but then he took the side Of
the senator from Nemaha and argued
that the fact that Colonel Majors was
henOred with seat in the senate was
no reason why he should not be a
member of the board. For nearly an
hour the senators sat behind closed
doors while they discussed the merits
of the appOintees of the governor and
argued On the cOnstitutionality of the
choice of the senator from Peru.
A number of the senator's declined
to vote when the question of the con
firming of the appointments were
asked. but enough voted to approve
the appOintees named by the governor.

. WASHINGTON. = Following mum.
erous conferences held throughout
the day. Representative Dwight o.
New York. the republican whip" in
the house. announced that the rules
committee would bring in a rule fix
ing the time for taking the final vote
on the tariff bill and restricting
amendments thereto, and that the
rule would be adopted. Mr.. Dwight
made an unequivOcal prediction Of
victory.
The rule which will be brought in
Monday sets the day for vote on
the tariff bill on April 10 and pro
tects the measure, it is said, from
all amendments except those recon.
mittee, and those offered on the floor
of the house that will give an OPP.
p0rtunity for a vote on the question
Of free lumber. protected barley and
protected hides.
1t is reported that the majority of
who met Saturday and drafted pc
tition to the tariff trainers asking
for protection on lumber. coal, iron
ore and hides, have been prevailed
upon not to oppose the Payne bill as
they threatened to do unless heed
was given to their demands. This
development today. it is said. makes
the adoption of the rule a practical
certainty and accounts for the con-
fidence of Mr.. Dwight in the success
of the rule. 1t is also said that the
dissatisfied republicans have re-
ceived assurances that interests in
which they are particularly interest
ed will be given careful attention
when the bill reaches the senate.
Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee, Representatives
Dalzell and Dwight and other house
leaders had a conference with Pres
ident Taft. during which the presi-
dent is said to have expressed ap-
prevail of the tariff program as out
lined by the ways and means com
mittee.
The rule will have the effect of
shutting off general debate automat-
ically and from the time of its adOp-
ton until the bill is submitted to a
vote discussion of the tariff will pro-
coed under the five-minute rule.
The senate will have nothing before
it except the census bill until the
tariff bill comes over from the
house and is reported by the COM
mittee on finance.
