but $5S,4SS, 500. The estimated pro-
duction in 1920 is $40, 900 900. The
ratio Of the gold reserve to the Fed
eral Reserve net deposit and note
liabilities continually declined since
1914, until it reached AIS per cent
on December &c, 1919, a margin of
but 6.S per cent above that required
by the Federal Reserve Act.
Certain officials of the Govern
ment have persistently endeavored
to minimize the danger Of the fail
ure of domestic gold production, but
leading financiers of the United
States are organizing a campaign to
protect the gold standard. The Amer
lean Bankers Association in 1918
and again in 1919 passed a resolu-
ton calling attention of the Nation
to the threatening danger. The
American Mining Congress called a
national gold conference in st. Louis
last November and this conference of
bankers, economists and miners, by
resolution put itself on record as ex-
pressing the opinion that no change
should be made in the gold standard
and unit of value of monetary tran
sactions in this and other countries,
but requesting Congress to act, and
under that resolution a bill shortly
will be introduced in Congress to
impose a tax of so cents per penny
weight of fine gold contained in all
articles which may be sold on and
after May 1, 1920, from which fund
the producer Of the new gold ounce
will receive on and after the same
date a $40 premium to compensate
for the increased cost of production.
This is the only proposal yet advanc-
ed. whereby the monetary unit is not
altered and a free gold market in
the United States may be maintain
ed. The bill merely creates the
machinery by which the manufacture
ers of gold in the arts and trades
may properly pay the cost OF it's pro-
duction, so that sufficient new gold
may be produced to satisfy their re-
quirements and make 1t unnecessary
