all the other satfes from his time down
have brought- out—commercial health
and happiness throughout the land.
"I desire t.o say that never in my life
and never, to my belief, in the history
of this nation, have so many loums
hummed, so many furnace fires flamed,
and so many factory chimneys smoked
night and day as there are at present.
The great amount of money has
brought this.
"And now for the application of all
this. There is to be brought before the
house a bill to commit this country ir
retrievably to the single gold standard.
Is this action demanded? Js it wise?
Jn my belief It is unnecessary and may
prove a menace. Lot well enough alone.
"The republicans have been claiming
that we have been on a practical gold
standard of late years. Then why in
the name of common sense is it neces
sary to go into a discussion of a finan
cial measure and perhaps disturb the
delicate equilibrium of the present
commercial weal?

The government, has now practically
no bullion'available for the coinage of
subsidiary currency. It has bullion' pur
chased for the-coinage of silver dollars,
but this can not be used without au-.
thority from congress. The needs of
the country for fractional currency are
increasing, and legislative authority for
new coinage is imperatively demanded.

date in 1 S9!» ha-s shown a gain of 25 per
ent over liie corresponding inontns of
1S i.\ which indicates a probable gain
for the full year of $10,000,000. The
i'nited States, Canada and Mexico will
doubtless increase their product $18.-'
000.000. in South Africa, the production
in the first half of the year was 35 pt-r
cent above the yield of the same
months in 1S3S,'and if the industry had
been undisturbed the gain for the year
would probably have been above S-'O,
000.000. As all these principal districts
are now in condition to produce at a
higher r/ite than at the opening of the
present year, and all are preparing for
larger yields, it is not improbable that
when, operations are fully resumed in
South Africa the world's output will
quickly pass $400,000,000 per annum."
