In ether words. $2,000 in cctu.l gold was only worth $S70.00 In comparison with Its purchasing power 6 years before. The gold miners ccst of operation In producing gold has Increased in proport cn to the individual 1 vins costs but, instead of getting increased pr.ee for h's product to offset th s increased ccst of production, the gold miner st!U continues to receive $20 67 a fine ounce 'or li s gold, ihe figure established several hundred ;ears aso. The result has been Inevitable. In 1915 the U. S. gold production was $101,000,000; in 1918 it was down to $68,000,000; ml th's year It will probably be down to $5.1,000.000 or $60,000,000. It lies been Impossible to increass the price f gold without upsetting the standard of values throughout the world tut at last a saf'sfactory solution seems to have been found. A mct-.aure is being placed before congress which pro vides that a premium of $10 per fine ounce shall be pa d to every person producing gold in the United States, fa'd payments to bo made out of funds to be provided by an excise tax of 60 cents per penny weight ($10 per ounce) cn the use, manu facture or sale of gold in the United States for other than co'nage or monetary purposes. In other words, $10 an ounce would be added to all told used for commercial purposes other than making money. This would provide a fund sufficient for the government to pay gold producers : r.n additional $10 an ounce to covet the'r greatly Increased cost of pro duction. Someth'ng must be done as our gold supply !s disappearing. At the; end cf a 6 year period if conditions: v.ere again normal the excise tax; vould he removed. In tho man t me fold rroduct oa would be greatly encouraged. !

United States Department of Aj,r.-' culture, Uureau of Crop Kst.in.ne.-t. 1'ortl.iud, on April 9 issued a report which turn shes food for thought.
