Americas Plethora of Gold.-Tf

Americas Plethora of Gold.-The
Department of Commerce reports that
since Columbus discovered5 America
about $4,000. 10000 worth Of gold has
been mined, of which s10,O00,0 100000, as
we'll as most of the pre- Columbian
stock, has been lost, worn out or used
in the arts. The remaining SS,OOO,O0O,-
600 is money, in circulation or stored
in treasures and banks. For all prac-
tical financial purposes this is the
available gold stock of the world.
The Federal Reserve Boards weekly
statement shows that $3,09S, 100000 of
this gold is in the gold reserve in this
country. 1t is growing fast, though not
as fast as last year. There has been
gain since Jan. of $214,SO0,000, and
the present figure is a new record The
actual amount of gold coin in the
country including non-actiye hoards
not reportable, is considerably greater.
Even a year ago it was estimated by
the director of the mint at $3,294,OO0,-
600. .......
Nothing is more remarkable in re-
cent finance than the explosion of the
old theory that vast reserves Of gold
meant sound and stable conditions in
q country, or necessarily meant pros
perity. The two billions of gold lying
idle in the United States treasury, be-
yond their psychological effect in
quieting the nerves of the uninstruct-
cd. are as useless to industry as two
million idle men might be. If finan-

Agree on Delay in Passage
Of Measure

President Harding was understood
TO have succeeded today in persuad.
Ing certain Republican Senators 70
abandon their plan TO stampede
soldiers bonus legislation through
the Senate.
These Senators, most Of whom
are up for reelection this year; had
served notice that unless the Sen.
ate Finance Committee reported a
soldiers bonus bin within three
weeks they would Join the Demo
Gratis in voting to discharge the
committee from further considera-
ton OF the bonus.
The Democrats have been con-
templating such a move for several
days in the expectation that II
would be successful because OF the
demand OF an increasing number
OF Republican Senators that a
bonus bill be passed quickly.

themselves would not commence
