NEW MONEY UNIT
CALLED THE DILL
Would Replace Changing Worth
of Gold Dollar in Fixed Val.
ue of Commodities.

New York, Feb. 9.-1ncreased production
Df gold is the principal cause of high
prices according to j. Peass Norton,
professor Of political economy at Yale
University. In an article in this weeks
independent, Professor Norton said:
when mining engineers and chemists
succeeded IN devising methods of ex-
tracing gold from ore as low in grade
as five dollars per ton at a profit, the
potential supply of gold enormously IN
creased. As result OF these scientific
discoveries, the annual production of
gold began to mount at an increasing &
rate In the nineties.
'eBradst~eets index Of average prices
indicates an advance of 90 per cent. In
prices since July 1. 1896. In other words,
dollars worth of goods to-day could
have been purchased for 60 cents in 1896.
During the past thirteen years prices
have maintained an average advance of
l-2 per cent. per annum
The gold imitation ls worldwide and
prices everywhere have moved upward
In response. In the Ulited States the
rise in prices has been intensified by
three causes, which probably are, in
order of Importance, the banknote laws,
the storage and cold storage develop
ment and the tariff
IF the advances for prices for the
United States and England are con-
trasted, the increases are 60 and 40 per
cent. respectively. 1t is reasonable to
Infer that two-thirds Of the advance in
this country probably are due to the
gold and banknote initiation and one
third to other causes such as the trusts
and the tariff.
AT the pres ent time popular camor
seeks to fix the res possibility upon the
RI, SITS, just as in Washngton's day a
'orestallers and monopolists,' whereas
he true cause lay in the depreciating
continental currency. Not worth a con-
mental in the future may be substi
.,lted by the phrase Not worth a gold
solar;' for how serious the situation
nay become nobody knows"
Prof. Norton proposes as a remedy the
adoption Of a new standard to suppant
the gold dollar. He calls it the "dill.'
which would be an imaginary unit or
bacis Of exchange whose value would be
soual to the purchasing power OF one
gold dollar of specific quantities of staple
commodities designated in federal
.aw The plan would include also a GEN.
rial bank, which would issue on demand
20 banks and to a system of licensed
storehouses "dll' credit notes to the
extent of 10 per cent of the value of
gold, silver or commodities on hand.
