Germany, Austria and Italy combined are
less than those of the United States. The
United States is the Croesus among ma

For the United States has been riding
upon the very crest of the great golden
wave that has been sweeping the world
around for the past twenty years For.
In the past twenty years, sterile lands
on many continents have been awakening
from browse of aeOnS, have been show
ing their hidden charms TO the venture
some spirits of many nations. and those
adVenturerS have been garnertng the hid
den wealth. This latent gold has found
its way into many activities and the
whole world has found itself possessed
OF that fever for accomplishment that
success breeds.
For the world was poor in gold at the
middle OF the nineteenth century. In
1850 there was less than three billion dol
lars worth of gold in the whole world.
and this included all gold plate and jew
elry. Uncle Sam has one little mint out
in Denver that contains nearly twice as
much gold as the whole world possessed
sixty years ago. The world is now pro-
ducing every six years more gold than
existed in the hands of man half a CEN
fury ago. The stimulus for gold produc
ton was then not great. for the nations
of the world We're not using it as basis
of their circulation. The Bank of Eng
land then had a paltry $50. 600 OoO in gold,
while the Bank of France had $4,000. 600.
Despite the fact that these were the
palmy days of the California gold fever.
the world production was only little
over S10OOOO,0OO in gold year In fact
with little fluctuation. this small yield of
gold held up to the dawning of the golden
era of the world to the coming of the
past score of years.
In 1890 the world produced S11AOOO.O0O
in gold. That was the last of the old
conditions. That was the dawning of the
golden era. For from that year the tide
of gold has been bearing in upon the peo-
pies Of the civilized world in an ever-in-
creasing flood. BY ten and twenty and
fifty millions year did the increases
mount until in seven years production
had doubled and the twenty-first year
which has just closed shows produc-
ton of nearly four times that of 1890.
a table of ever-increasing production will
tell the tale of the mounting golden tide.

Such is a sort of measure OF the gold

For Treasury statements for the past
year show that the United States is piling
up in it's treasure houses such amounts of
gold as would make the wealth of Midas

of its stores is amounting to such stu
pendous figures as would make the gold

by s,atng that a tn usand dollars in gold

publicly announced that while he
favors Harmon, he pledges himself
to follow the instruction issued by
the state voters. Bryan is supposed
to back Wilson, but this is not known
to be a fact For years this contest
between Hitchcock and Bryan has
been brewing, but never, until the
present, has Hitchcock ever come
squarely out against Mr., Bryan In
a roundabout way the contest was
ended two years ago when Hitchcock
won and was elected United States
senator, but this was not directly
against Bryan. In the present con-
test the lines are closely drawn-it
is Bryan against Hitchcock.
That Hitchcock does not intend to
stand aside, however, is shown by
the statement issued by him the day
following the Bryan birthday meet
ing, in which he said: 81 welcome the
issue which the so-called Progressive
conference has raised" Hitchcock
desires to force Bryan out in the
open and make him announce that
he will, If sent to the national con
vention, cast his vote according to
instructions of the state. The Har-
mon campaign committee is fighting,
not so much against Bryan himself
as to instruct the delegates to vote
for Harmon, regardless of their per
sonal feelings.

He Makes a Desperate Contest for
Election as Delegate

Omaha, March 26.-"Is William J.
Bryan afraid to say to whom he ia
vors as the Democratic candidate for
the presidential nomination.? That
is the all-absorbing question In Ne
braska politics this week. Mr.. Bryan
is a candidate for delegate at large
before the Nebraska primary but so
far he has refused to make his posi-
ton public. For years Mr.. Bryan
has demanded of other candidates
that they deal fairly" with the vo-
tiers by declaring themselves on all
questions, but now Mr. Bryan is in
the position Of asking Nebraska De
mocrats to vote for him and at the
same time he refuses to state for
whom he will cast his vote when he
gets to Baltimore. Mr.. Bryan for
more than a month has been a candi-
date for delegate at large and his
name has been regularly filed with
the secretary of state. But to date
Mr. Bryan has refused to take the
Democrats of Nebraska into his con.
fidence and say for whom he will
vote, if left free, or even to announce
that he will abide by the decision
Of the majority and cast his conven-
ton vote as instructed by his con
stituents.
Whether Mr. Bryan will go to this
convention has become more of a
question than for whom the state
delegation shall vote. The big fight
is between Mr.. Bryan and United
States Senator Hitchcock of Omaha
Both wish to lead the delegation as
a delegate at large. Hitchcock has

HEBREW NEW YEARS DAY

NEW YORK. Sept 1.-THE setting
Of the sun this evening ushers in the
Jewish new year 1913. The festival
is one of the most important OF the
Jewish calendar and is sedulously OBJ
served BY the reformed and orthodox
alike. The orthodox carry the obser-
vance over two days, during which
time they cease all work The reform
Jews celebrate only one day. .-.
There are more than sixty Jewish
churches in Greater New York, but
even this large number is insufficient
to accommodate the large number OF
worshipers on important feast or fast
days. This lack of adequate accom-.
mediation is not to be wondered at
IN view of the fact that nearly 1000,
600, or considerably more than half OF
the total number of Jews in America,
reside in this city.
For the present holiday season the
Kohillah, or Jewish community OF
New York. has made arrangements "a
use a number OF provisional synago,
CUES. The organization has also made
arrangements for the holding OF ser
vices for the benefl. of the Jewish
inmates of the tuberculosis camp al
Westfield, at the emigrant station al
Ellis Island and in various other pub,
