people gather 1t in our rich woodlands

PRICES AND GOLD PRODUCTION

A correspondent Of the Springfield
Republican calls the attention of that
paper to fairly appalling confirma-
ton by Thomas A. Edison Of the fears
expressed in your columns last Aug
ust as to the continued Increase In the
worlds annual gold production" He
regards this as a financial problem of
first importance-and, OF course. it is.
though the Republican observes that it
is less threatening than it was three
or four years ago. BE that as 1t may.
1t is threatening enough The fact
that the gold production was scarcely
greater in 1910 than i'm 1909 cannot be
considered altogether reassuring As
Byron w. Holt. Of New York. has
lately urged, even il the worlds output
of the metal were TO remain stationary.
"it is probable that the commodity
prices would continue to rise for at
least five years. The Mississippi river
does not cease to rise when the rain
ceases to Increase 1t continues to
rise even after the rain has ceased to
fall"
The total production for 1910 is va
riously estimated at from Sass. 1884. 1928

in excess of $3.50, OOO. OOO and the En-
