The gold organs contend that the annual increase in the supply of the world's gold is such that there will be enough to meet the world's de mand tor money and therefore there ,is no need of the free coinage ot sil ver by this or any ether country. As bearing upon this we clip the fol lowing from the Philadelphia Record: The late Professor Scoetbeer, of Austria, was tbe leading authority on statistics pertaining to the production and use of the precious metals and kin- dred top e. Hit work has been con tinued by Professor Lexis, of the Trade Museum , of Vienna, who has brought down the data to 1895 in a recent re port which will furnish much food for reflection to those who are needlessly distressed concerning the acarcityol gold. B? this report it is seen that the woild's prod action cf go'd in 1895 amounted to 1202.750 000. against (181.510.000 in 1894 the production of the latter named year having been greater than in any previous period of twelve months. Ia 1893 the chief gold production was s:t down as follows: The United States. 119,250,000; South Africa. $16,750,000; Australia. 145,000,000, and Russia. $29, 750X09. . The highest production of gold in the United S:ates (in 1853) was $65,000 000. from which it gradually declined to 33. 400 000 in 1875 and rose again to46. 900,000 and 851,200 000 respectively in the yeais 1877 and 1878. But when the world's product of last year is sommsd up it exceeds that of the most produc tive period (1853) which amounted to $155,450,000. Ic is shown that the pro duction ot sliver in 1895 was six times as great as in 1853. What has become cf all the gold is a question which Professor Lex s does not undertake to answer with precision. On tnis point exclusive intormation. ap pears to be possessed by tbe Populist statisticians ot "Coin a Financial School who assert that most of the gold of the world is annually consumed in plugging teetn. But tbe tact has been established tiat in the ten years from 1885 to 1894 tbe gold coin by the nations of the world was nearly $308,000,000 greater than tbe production, although it is im possible to ascertain to what extent re coinage and the application of tx isting supplies oi gold bullion co hered into this sum. In the years from 1885 to 1894 the average gold production of the world amounted to $128,838,409, while the average yearly coinage in tbe same decade was 1159. 425,000. It is estimated that in 1894 the amount of gold used for other purposes than coinage was $51 250,000. distributed approximately as follows Eagland, 12.U03,000; the United States, $10,750 000; France, $8,375 000; Germany, $8,375,000, and Switzerland, $4,175,000 The figures indicate how little worth there is in the Silverite assertions con cerning the consumption of go'd in the arts. From two-thirds to three-fourths of the entire production enters into the worms use as money. But if gold should not be used as money at all it would still -have great va'ue in the arts and luxuries by reason of its superior malleability, purity, solidity and beauty. There is no doubt that there is a considerable increase in ' the world's output of gold, owing to the discov ery of new gold fields and the cheaper processes of extracting the metal from the ore, but there is no telling how long this increase may be kept up. But even if it should be kept up Indefinitely, the fact re mains that the gold mines of the world are owned by comparatively few men whor can always control the amount that is coined and goes into active use as money, and thesfrmeu can thus control the volume of money as far as the gold goes. It is to their interest to keep the volume of gold at such a figure as will pre vent it from becoming acheap, "even supposing that the gold mines yield all that the world needs for money, It may be said In reply to this that the sliver mines are controlled by a comparatively few men, which is true, but while silver is aemoneuzcu uu gold is the single standard of fo many nations silver cannot come Into competition with gold and the goia men have a practical monopoly 01 the! world's supply of real I money. The world needs silver as a check on the gold manipulators, and the silver miner as a protection from tne rapa city of the gold miner. But taking these figures as ai leasi an approximately accurate statement of the go'd production, we wpuiu have in round numbers a little less than $203,000,000 for the world. Sup pose these figures to be kept up, ana after deducting one-third, say, for use in the arts, all the rest were coined, would give us an increase of about $136,000,000 a year in the world's supply of gold coin. Divide these $136,000,000 among the world's 1,400,000,000 of people and how much would it amount to per capita ? Less than ten cents, is there any danger of flooding tne world with gold at that rate ? . But we know that this gold is not all coined, and that a very consider able portion of it remains in the form of bullion, because it answers the purpose of the large money handlers better in that form than in . . . . U com tor snipping purposes, x ucj prefer the bullion to coin on account of the waste in coin by abrasion, which is doubtless one of the rea sons. hy so much of it remains in the form of bullion. In view of this fact and the quantity of gold used in the arts, there is little prob ability of the world being over flooded with gold, even if the out put of the mines be much larger than it is now. But whatever the increase may be, while the single gold standard prevails this metal will be a metal of speculation and a metal for hoarding which ill prevent it from becoming a coin for general circulation, for which it is unfitted even if it were not a metal for speculation and hoarding, by its high value. For general circulation there is too much value in too small a coin, and for that reason even if it were abun dant enough for general circulation people would not like to carry it and would prefer some other kind of money, either silver or paper. Its high value makes gold, as it has been so often truthfully called, the money of the rich man while silver is the money of the poor man. A dollar ia silver is a coin of fair proportions, while a dollar in gold would be lost in a vest pocket and a $2.50 piece would be buried in a handful of nickels. If the world had to de pend on gold alone it would soon have to quit business or let a very tew men boss the business. MIS OR, KZSTIOH. The organs and spokesmen of the gold standard have either been de luding themselves or attempting to delude others by professing to be lieve that the free silver sentiment was strong only in the South and In some of the States West of tbe Mis souri river, but the probabilities are that their eyes have been opened since the extraordinary demonstra tions of the people all along tbe line of Mr. Bryan's journeying from Lin coln, Nebraska, to New York city, where he was greeted with such en thusiasm as has welcomed no other man since Grant' came fresh from the fields where victory gave him fame. We have bad a sufficient expres sion of popular feeling by this time to know that the senti ment for free silver is not peculiar to the South or the far West, but that it is a potent factor in all the States, and that in some which the so called "sound money" men have been claiming there is every indica tion that it is the controlling 'power. Indiana is one of these, in which the situation is thus stated by Hon. W. Boyle, First Assistant Secretary ot the Indiana branch of the Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association, who says: I am certain from the outlook that Bryan and free silver will carry Indiana b from 50.000 to 75.000 majority, and it would not . surprise us to see it go to 100,000. Out of 50,000 belonging to our society I find that thev stand at follows: Republicans, 27.521; Democrats, 20.318; Populists, 2.100; Prohibitionists. 61. On the money question they stand as fol lows: For silver. Republicans, 37,093. Democrats, 19 777; Populists. 2.100; Prohibitionists, 81. For gold, ! Republi cans., 428; Democrats, 541; Populists, none; Prohib tionists, 80. This is corroborated, as far as the sentiment goes, without giving figures, by others, and some of them gold men, including Mr. Bynum, who after a tour through the State said he found the silver sentiment in the rural districts overwhelming. Mr. Bynum, who is said to haye his eye on a Federal judgeship, is now one of the chief engineers of the Demo cratic gold convention, which is to put out a ticket to "help defeat" the nominees of the Chicago Convention. ..... , , The re-nomination of Hon. J. A. Lockhart as the Representative from this district was anticipated, and it was proper that it should come bv acclamation, as a just tribute to a gentleman whose ability and quali fications were recognized by his col leagues in Congress, as shown by his selection as a member of several im portant committees, but also as an expression of opinion as to tbe action taken in unseating him near the end of the session. As far as he is con cerned this unanimous action of the representatives of the Democracy of this district is ar endorsement which carries with it a vindication which ! must be made more by the endorsement people at ; the polls vember. The majority emphatic of the in No: for Lock- hart then must be so large as to leave no Erround for the charge of fraud Kn TmnrraH nor for quibbling vote' should. be lost nor thrown away this yean nor should the vote of any friend of silver, whether he be in line with the Democratic party or not, for there will be a royal battle for, silver in the next Congress, nd on the result of that battle the fate of bimetallism in this country will de pend. Doubtful of their ability to elect their President the opponents of silver are going to make desper ate efforts to secure a majority in the next House of Representatives, and for this reason every silver man should be active in the support of the men whom they know will be true to silver. This is a contest not for a man nor for men, but for a great cause and for the people. .::;..' There wasn't any spreadeagle, "boy" oratory in the address deliv ered bv Wm. T. Bryan on the occa sion of the notification of his nomi nation Wednesday evening, but there was a cool, dignified, masteriy and thorough statement of the intents and purposes of the party of which he has been made the present stand ard bearer, a manly defence against the accusations and misrepresenta tions of its opponents, and a glo rious vindication of the representa tives of the Democracy who formu lated the Chicago platform- and nominated the standard bearers to battle for the principles enunciated in that platform. There is no at tempt at oratorical display in this address, no flights of fancy, no fasci nating word painting nor suggestive, captivating metaphors, but every sentence is a plain appeal to the thought and the reason of the list ener who is supposed to be a patri otic citizen and desirous of pro moting tbe happiness and prosperi ty of his country and of posterity. No unpiejudiced manfccan read that address without recognizing the pa triotic spirit that inspires and per vades it, and that he who thus spoke for the people showed good cause why they protest against the wrongs which were tberein so clearly and for cibly pointed out. They fail to find in it an " anarchistic" or " communis tic" utterance, or a syllable that might not be spok'en by a Washing ton, Jefferson or Jackson. CURRENT COMMENT. Candidate Bryan has the ad vantage of belonging to himself. His candidacy is a great improve ment on the syndicate system of running a man. New York Journal, Dem The gentlemen who met at Indianapolis and resolved that two thirds of tbe Chicago Convention constituted a minority of the party, and that they themselves are the only ones who realize what is true Democracy, are in grave danger of infringing on the ideas of the tailors of Tooley street. Washington Post, Ind. Every now and then we hear of delegations of workingmen going to Canton. Uhio, to chant to Mc Kinley the praises of protection and yet strange to say labor does not share in the benefits of protection. When the McKinley tariff which was higher than the war tariff of 1881, was in operation wages were reduced in every line of industry and there were more strikes and lockouts than were ever known before in the his tory of the country. It appears however, that there are still a few working people who can be guile J by the talk of protection bringing high wages. New Orleans States, Dem. TWINKLINGS.

There is no doubt that cotton and tobacco are both badly cut off by the dry spell following so much rain. - Mr. Geo. B. Webb is making experiments to develop a new process, originated by himself, to cure tobacco. He has succeeded in curing small parcels of it a bright yellow. He says he ex pects to cure it from thirty to fifty days without any heat. If this pro cess proves successful be will be able to cure a pound of tobacco .to each cubic foot of room space, without any danger of burning, withe ut any attention after first placing it, with out chemicals and by a perfectly natural and inexpensive process, re taining all the oils in tbe tobacco, curing it in a bright color, with velvety finish, and perfectly curing the stem and leaf. If this proves practical it will be a great saving to the tobacco farmers, and will mean a fortune for Mr. Weeb, The Valleys of Madagascar. No great faith is expressed by General Duchesne in the future of railways in Madagascar. "The road built by the French military engineers from Majnnga to Andriba was," said the general in conversation with ottf Paris correspond ent, "child's play compared with the difficulties of the country through which the French had to go at an almost run? ning pace. I had taken with me officers of the engineers to survey the country for a military railway, but when they saw the difficulties they gave it pp. It looks very easy on a map to go up the valleys, but Madagascar valleys are not like those of other countries. They shrink into gorges and are cut up by mountain ranges. The whole country is a maze, and yet the west road is com? paratively easy when compared with the east one from Antananarivo- to Tama' tave. The latter defies description. J was taken down to Tamatave in a litter by active porters. I cannot make out how we came to our journey's end.

I am bound to agree with travelers' good opinion of the climate, once you are through the fever zone. I never felt better than od the plateau. " London News. Anybody Fit For Anything. In one of his letters to Motley, John Stuart Mill, that English friend of the United States, deplored "the fatal be lief of your public that anybody is fit fox anything. " This optimistic conceit was no doubt developed by the practice ol the earlier Americans, who turned theii hands to anything, and, thanks to ths bounty of a virgin continent, generally with good results. But progress has given rise to specialization, and the American, like the European, has be come a specialist He is learning to do one tning welL Already the "fatal belief" deprecated by Mill has disappeared from business Where it means rum and bankruptcy. and from manufacturing and transpor tation where it means arson and mur der. But it still survives in our admin- , istration of public affairs, where the evil consequences, though greater, are not so strongly felt, because they are less per? sonai, less tangible and more widely diffused, I hesitate to Bay that anything is or could be worse than our unreform ed civil service, yet I suspect the bane. rul character of what Mill caJHs that ' 'fatal belief" is most strikinglyrevealed in our administration of education. Forum. Tannins;. The most recent and expeditious proc ess in tanning, according to The Revue Scientifique, consists in passing a cur-: rent of hydrogen gas or a current ol some gaseous compound of hydrogen containing a certain quantity of arsenic through the liquid ; in which the hides are immersed. The hydrogen is obtained either from the action of commercial sulphuric acid upon zino or iron or from that of steam upon iron, the calculation being, in fact that in this case the hv- drogen obtained will contain a sufficient quantity of arsenic.; The gas, collected under pressure in a gasometer, is intro duced into the bottom of the tanning vat through a pipe provided with a se ries of apertures, and after bubblimr un through the liquid it flows out through anotner pipe amxed to the cover of " the vat Vats of very large dimensions are employed, and the tanning proceeds very rapidly. ; . ;". -flea Water For City Street. The ancient idea of flushing the sew ers and gutters of pity streets with sea water is being vigorously discussed in many places. In England it has come into such favor that a proposition is now put forward . to supply the city 'of London With: sea water. - The water would be taken from the sea at a spot not far from -Brighton remarkably free. from, pollution. - It would be pumped into ft reservoir of 10,000,000 gallons. Thence it would be forced into anpther. reservoir, from which it would gravi tate to Lcnldon. 5 The present "consump tion of water in London is 200, 000, 000 gallons a day, of which 40,000,000 gal lons is ' -used lor - municipal purposes. This might be saved for domestic pur-y noses by the mtrodnction of sea water. Tim nrwt of the nroiect is cut at t2. 260.4 000. and the sea water-would be sup plied by meter for public purposes at a fraction of tne present cost oi zresn wa ter. & One watering of : the streets with sea water is said to be equal to two, or even tnree, wita iresn water. ; ; xt pre vents the decomposition of street refuse, it is effective for flushing sewers, and particularly valuable for the extinction of fire. Of its value to neaitn tnere is no doubt, and it would be easy to sup- tjIv it to hospitals and to schools for swimming baths. - - - A Theater Incident. "At a theater where the seats are not numbered and to which I had , gone early to get a good seat, " said a man, "I found just the seat I wanted in the fourth row from the front. : In the seat in front of me in the front row sat a man: tne seas immediately DacK oi nun was vacant, and the seat back of that and directly in front of me was occu pied by a small boy, sitting between his father and. mother. . So that besides a good location I had an unobstructed view, which was one of the things I had in mind in choosing the seat Of course I had to take the chanoeson that vacant seat, but the chances were at least eyen that it would be occupied by a man, and if it Was taken by a woman there was a .chance that 'she would not wear a big hat ".When the theater filled up, that seat was taken by a woman, and she had on a hat which would have covered the grass plot in front of a house in the suburbs, and there grew upon it flowers and things as tall as the hollyhocks in the front yard of a house in the country. "But she had no sooner taken the seat than she raised her hands and lift ed the big hat off. My view was quite unobstructed, after all, and I felt that I had reason to be grateful. " New York. Sun. A Model Begimenb . The story is told of an English mili tia regiment whose reputation was none of the best that on one occasion a de tective from Scotland asked to be allow ed to inspect the regiment to discover, if possible, if a certain malefactor were in the ranks. Permission being given, the detective, accompanied by the adjutant of the regiment made the tour Of the various companies, front rank and rear rank. When the official had got to the last man of the rear rank of the rear company, he stopped suddenly and gazed earnestly at toe rather embarrassed war rior. "Why, you surely have made a mistake," exclaimed the adjutant In dignantly. "Why, you have pitched on the best man in the battalion. He has been with us for more than 20 years and he is our pattern soldier. His arms are a mass of good conduct badges, and he is the example of all that is best in the life of a soldier., - You surely do not know him?" "No, " replied the detect ive, ' 'I do not but I know all the oth ers! "-San Francisco Argonaut ; Whmt About Leather? The question is frequently asked: What is a vegetarian community to use instead of leather? Of course substitutes would have to be found. At present as bides are a waste product there is no need to seek further, but when they be come scarce other substances will cer tainly take their place.. Other i things have already begun to compete with leather. Formerly the doublet and breeches and even bottles were made of that substance. Now we use cloth for bookbinding and other purposes and may have artificial leather boots. Per mand always stimulates invention and production. It may therefore be safely predicted that to make ample provision for our clothing, even under a vegetarian regime, is a task not beyond the re sources 01 civilization.. We may be sure that if we have followed nature thus far and trusted her for our greater wants she will assuredly not fail us in these lesser things. -Westminster Review, London Street Hawkers, The selling of ice cream appears to be the most profitable street hawking trade. The late Carlo Gatti, who first intro duced the "penny ice" into the streets of London, once boasted, in a trial for compensation for removal, of having made a profit of 4, 000 a year from that source alone. . Starting single handed his success was such that he imported many of his countrymen to help him, with the grand result named. At the Thames police court not long since a vender of ice creams astonished the presiding magistrate by informing him that he sold for 8 shillings that which originally cost him 1, thus mak ing a profit of 700 per cent I When the season of the year is not suitable for ices, the street hawkers of that commodity turn their attention fcither to fruits or baked chestnuts.
