TIIF WOULD' fi GOLD STOCK. Tho financial worM in Hliowing the effoolH of tliu recent iiicri'iino in tlio pro duction of mild. Tho reportH of tlio visi ble Hlockoof tlio yellow iiiutul givu uc count of it lunch greater supply in sight, and it nppciirH that thu hoar ling p'oci'fs that dritint'd off thu curlier iiicrcitsu has come to un end. Up to lHH'J the annual production of gold remained fairly constant in the iiei?hl)orhood of $10.1,000,000 u year, oc casionally rising as high as $110,000,000 uml soiiietiiiit'S falling ttH low as $1)0,000. Oi'O. In 18S0 thu upward moviMiient bo gan aud h:t licen cnnliiiued with hut a single check. The following figures of production for the past eight years tell the story : 8ko $r.':?,4Ho,''oo i" 11K4H,700 isoi i:!o,i)0,oco WVi 14fl,KIJ,I00 JS3 187,287,(100 iii4 iso.ieo.ioo JHW) 203,'iO.OtO 1800 W0,000,000 Tho figures for 1803 and 1800 are partly estimated, but are not likely to fall be low those given. Here is a total of over $1,200,000,000 for tho eight years, giving an increase of nearly $500,000,000 over the production of gold in the preceding eight years. Such a swelling of the gold product ought, it would seem, to have a visible efiect on the stock available for currency and lessen the stress of thu fierce com mercial contest. . Yet until recently there has been no such effect. For several years after the increase,' in pro duction began the visible stock of gold Bhowed no increase, nnd the commercial battle to get possession of what was in sight became more lierco than ever. Tho war hoards of Russia and Germany, nnd the efforts of Austria and KiiHsiii to accumulate enotight gold to put their currency on the gold basis absorbed the new production and perhaps took some from the former stock of metal. The Russian wnr hoard has been variously stated iltfrom $500,000,01-0 to $1,000,000, 000. With the gold accumulated in the Bank of Russia, which has now above $500,010,0,0 of tho yellow metal, the amount secured by Russia in the scramble is probably near tho larger sum. Tho hoarding demand is apparently over, however, nnd lute reporis front Europe show that the new supplies of gold are having their natural effect. It is Muted by tho financial journals that in thu past fifteen mouths the visible stock of gold in the commercial centers has increased by about $150,000,000, and since the beginning of 1805 tho increase hits been over $200,000,1 00. It is expected that the gold product for 1807 will reach $250,00.),000, ami it is not likely that tho product will fall be low these figures for some years to come. W illi so liberal a supply of the niotni tho visible stocks thoiild show a rapid increase and tho currency of the world should be in a much more stable con dition than in tho past decade. ;.o ir fa iu:s. in speaking oi lower lares the Salem Journal says: "With only ono city in Oregon that is at all u metropolis, low fares would injure all business houses in all cities and towns besides Portland. Two-cent fares would make Salem a su burb of Portland, as two-cent fates have made Oregon City a mere residence su burb of Portland. A two-cent fare would send half tho trade of Sitlem to Portland, Oregon City merchants have suffered from this cause. All over the East, towns the size of Salem are merely tributary to tho larger cities at one-cent or two-cent fares. One hardware store, ono or two dry goods stores, one shop of a kind supplies the purely retail trade anil the big department houses in the larger cities take the rest. This is the affect of low fure9. Tho tendency is to centralize all trade in the larger place. Lower fares might bring trade of towns near Salem to this city and hurt their trade, just as it would take our trade to Portland to the injury of the Salem trade. We have now presented both sides of the argument and find it is easy to conclude that it is no detriment to Salem that railroad fares are as high as they are over the Southern Pacific."
