November21, 1895 THE WEALTH MAKERS. MM - I. - . THAT "FLOOD" OF GOLD. The Soot b African Scheme Merely Intended to Mislead the Public That that there is really nothing like the quantity of gold promised in the South African gold fields can best be judged from the fact that gold has not become sensibly cheaper as the result of the operation. It is true that but for their successful operation it would, probably, under the single gold stand ard scheme, have become much dearer than it has. Itut this is very different from a promise of a decrease in the price of gold. The truth of the matter is that while It may do very well for mining "ex perts" to put out stories of the fabu lous quantities of gold "in sight" as a means of booming Kouth African min ing stocks, the men who control the money of the world place no more stock in such stories than they are really worth. The price of gold under the single gold standard system can only be learned with any accuracy by a com parison between it and the price of the principal commodities that enter into trade, free from the control of trusts and combines. It does not require any laborious computation to arrive at the result as it is a fact of common know ledge that these commodities have de creased on an average one-half in value, which is equivalent to a doub ling of the price, value, or purchasing power of gold. Wheat which formerly brought $1 per bushel now sells for BO cents per bushel and this is about as fair an ex ample of the change in the relative value of the principal commodities and gold as any that can be given. In this case Jl purchases twice as much wheat as formerly and is therefore twice as valuable. It is wholly reasonable to suppose that the increased output of gold in the South African fields is due in great measure to this increase in the value of cold, as ore that could not be worked at a lower value for gold, eiiher on account of the low grade or because of the expensive process re quired, can be worked at a profit while gold is dear. Hut a cause of this kind for in crease in the production of gold, it will bo seen at a glance, would cease to operate as soon as the price of gold de clined. It was inevitable that the en hancement of the value of gold would increase the production, but only to this limited extent But the gold-bugs, who are pre tending that gold production is in creasing at a rate that may bring a re turn to the ratio that formerly existed between gold and other commodities, do not hesitate to indulge in their usual sophistries. One of these is that if the gold production ot South Africa continues to increase for the next ufty vears at the rate it has increased for the past three years the annual pro duction will be increased to an enor mous number of millions. So it would, of course, but quite as forcible an argument would be one based on what would have happened if the rate of gold production between 1850 and I860 should have continued for a hundred years. The trouble is with all such calcula tions that minps both of gold and sil ver contain only so much metal and when this is taken out, production ceases. Gold or silver mines are no more productive now than ever and it is merely the speed with which they can be robbed of their treasures that makes such wonderful increases as compared with ancient times, modern engineering skill having improved the process of mining, so as to do the work m the shortest possible time. Unless some genius can invent a process for making gold out of some material of which there is an inex haustible supply, there is no reason to expect that it can be made to take the place of both gold and silver, which the world has required for use as money from the beginning of civiliza tion to the present time.

A Tromlnent Republican Acknowleaires That It Is Not All on Account of the Tariff. The other evening- the Central La bor union enjoyed the distinction of being addressed by ex-Superintendent Robert Y. Porter, of the United htates census, now president of the Cleveland World. Mr. Porter is a talented man, broad minded and well posted on labor matters. Moreover, he is a thorough sociologist, and as such endeavors to go to the root of a question, and is not afraid to admit the truth when he sees it. Mr. Porter, in answer to questions, frankly admitted that the tariff ques tion was of no importance compared with that of the concentration of capi tal, the increase of tenantry or the in crease of debt, precisely the point that the Citizen made during- the friendly discission with the World some time ago. Mr. Porter admitted further that he saw no way out of the constantly increasing1 social disorder and injustice, produced by greed and grinding com petition, except by nationalizing mo nopolies and instituting municipal so cialism, the culminating point of which experiments would be the co operative commonwealth. In a word, Mr. Porter talked like an advanced populist or a tolerant socialist. If the republican party had a few more brainy and fair minded men like Air. Porter in it we might have a little more respect for it. As matters stand, he has a tremendous task before him if he thinks he can convert his party to socialism. Cleveland Citizen. L. P.

The bankers who met in Georgia a few days ago deplored the condition of our financial system, holding that the distress which prevails throughout the land would have been far greater had not Cleveland come heroically to the relief of the country with a big sale of bonds. To every intelligent man the fact that it is the immense debt of the nation that is oppressing the people is apparant. To create this debt the currency of the country was burned up by our federal officers and converted into a bonded debt. Not withstanding that fact they recom mend the destruction of the last ves tige of the greenbacks and the con verting of them into interest-bearing bonds. This is aggravating the dis ease. They demand a law to prohibit congress from issuing any more paper money and to delegate to the banks the power to make money. This is rank treason, stultifying the constitu. tion, which grants that power to con gress alone. Oakland (Cal.) Industry. Dr. Madden, Eye.

Why Should the Government Farm Out a Itallroad It Acquires I'onesion of ? The following1 press report was re cently upon its rounds: "J. N. Pat rick, the Omaha member of the Union Pacific government protectorate, ex presses himself at length upon the re port of that board relating to the road's reorganization. lie says: 'We propose 6uch action in foreclosure as will give a direct, line under one man agement from Omaha to Oakland, Cal. The advantages of this cannot be over estimated. It would bring about greatly reduced rates between Omaha and the coast The plan, in short, is this: Foreclosure of the mortgages, the seizure under them of the road, the revocation of the lease of the Cen tral Pacific, the brushing aside of all the cumbrous and complex features which now handicap the Union Pacific, and the disposition of it to a syndicate, to operate under such federal laws as will positively prevent a tie-up with the Southern Pacific or other lines in short, the operation of the line as a plain business proposition from Omaha to Oakland. We do not con template the recovery of branch lines, in the hands of other receivers, nor does the Kansas Pacific, on which the government also has a lien, come into the measure. Yes, there are syndicates willing to take the line at a favorable valuation. If the line can be operated continuously the revenues will be such as to induce capitalists to go into it. I have every reason to believe it will be done." And now it is in order to inquire if there is a likelihood of the government farming out to a "syndicate" the postal system of the nation. Populists all over the United States should see to it that congress is flooded with petitions praying that the government not only foreclose and own, but also operate di rectly the Pacific railroads. Start the ball to rolling, boys. Tflos'e nig f roptf. Great stress is placed upon the huge crops oy oia party politicians ana me gold-bug press as a death-blow to pop ulist advancement If the prices paid for the products of the farm were such as they snouia ana wouia oe unaer iust systems, the hope of the scarce dollar advocates might be realized, but when it takes five or six bushels of corn, two or more bushels of wheat and other products in proportion to cancel a dollar of debt, the cause of more money will gain right along. A debt-oayincr dollar is the hope of the masses of the people. This the peo ple's party advocates. Missouri World.
