II is diflcult to realize the extent
to which the production OF gold has
increased in recent years. Probably
the figures published are at the best
only approximate, but the mints Of
the world should be able to form toll
erably accurate estimates, and these
are helped to some extent at least By
the statements Of production at tho
mines. At all events, there seems to
be pretty general agreement among
the authorities that from 1892, the year
that Columbus discovered America, to
1896, when Bryan precipitated the dis
cussion Of standards, the entire world
production of gold had amounted to
about $S,779 100000. That is a sizen,
BILE figure, to be sure. but It is claimed
that statistics show that in the IL
years beginning with 1896. and down
70 the close Of 1903. the new gold
mined amounted to s4,g10.o0o,o 1000. OF
a trsfe over 50 per cent. Of the total
production in 400 years. It appears
reasonable enough to believe that
such an enormous increase in the
quantity Of the worlds standard OF
money must have had some effect
upon commodity prices.

be an outrage upon the Indians but a
