ENORMOUS REDUCTION
 ,COLD-SILVER STOCKS

According to the report of the Fed eral reserve board, published a few weeks ago, the export of gold and silver coin during. the year 1919 amounted to more than $141, ,0O0,000. This is exclusive of the 260,000,Q00 ounces of silver bullion exported to China and England for use in the for mer country and India. The fact that Europe needs gold and silver for trade purposes is evident and that we will be called upon for many more mil lions is unquestionable, which will fur ther reduce our stocks of hard money, which fact makes it imperative that we begin immediately to improve our financial position by offering bonus to aid the revival of gold mining and at the same time open our hints to the free and unlimited coinage of sill yer.
