BREftT GOLD OUTPUT
WONDERFUL RECENT IN
CREASE IN UNITED STATES.
Wall Street, New York, ts Now the
Gold Center of the World Two
Pounds of Gold Dug Out Every Day
Colorado Leads in Production.
Xcw York city has become tho
gold center of the greatest sold
country In the world the United
States.
We have more gold than we know
what to do with, and still It Hows Into
our treasuries In a steady stream.
Every ribbon ot smoke off the
Grand Hanks means more gold for
Uncle Sam. Every donkey engine
hauling and puffing in the Western
mines means additional riches for a
country whose wealth is already the
marvel of the world.
For a century or more we gar
nered and hived our products for the
coffers ot Europe. Our prosperity
fluctuated at the will of Thread
needle street or tho bourses of Paris
and Berlin.
Great Indeed must the European
convulsion be which can now shake
the solid foundations of our prosperity-
Because, in the treasury of tho
United States there are more than
a thousand tons ot gold enough to
make a vast yellow cube over which
a tall man could not look without a
stepladder. Its value is $638,000,000.
Moreover, Europe Is in debt to us.
While the countries of tho world arc
squeezing and taxing their peoples,
we are going to take some of this
gold from our strong boxes and dig
a big ship canal across the Isthmus
of Panama and build a great navy to
keep the peace.
It is no marvel that men of finan
cial genius like Morgan, Yerkes.
Gould, Rockefeller and the heavy
Wall street bankers, taking advan
tage of the enormous increase in this
country's wealth, have won a victory
over foreign rivals and have made
us the credit nation.
For years New York has been ship
ping gold to London. Now as a re
sult of the war for finavtcial suprem
acy, the bank of England has been
forced to pay the remarkably high in
terest of 4 per cent to keep gold from
heing shipped from England to Amer
ica. The struggle between Wall street
and the great trans-Atlantic powers
has been like a tug of war with a
rope of gold.
First the rope would slip toward
Europe. Then our captains of In
dustry would lie down to It and
heave, metaphorically, until they
grew black in the face, and the gold

rone would trail Into our treasuries

And now, to uso a sporting expres
sion permissible under "tho circum
stances, we have Europe "out of tho
cleats."
They are out ot the race and are
apparently In a rago about jt. They
even threaten to quit, playing In our
yard. They arc not going to givo us
any part of tho new Atrlcan loan.
When the $150,000,000 Khaki loan
was floated in March, 1900, a very
largo part ot It was taken by Amer
ican banking houses. More than halt
ot the 5 per cent exchequer bonds tit
$60,000,000 were taken in New York,
Ot the $300,000,000 consols issued In
April, 1901, 35 per cent were takeu by
J, Pierpont Morgan & Co., Daring,
Mngoun & Co., Kidder, Peabody &
Co., and other American banking
houses.
During 1902 this country produced
$SO.S5S.070 In gold, a large output
than that ot any other country, and
tho government now possesses a larg
er quantity than was ever before un
der one control .
There Is enough gold In the treas
ury to give $14 apiece to every man,
woman and child In the country.
If you do not possess your pro
rata It Is not the fault of Uncle Sam.
Thirty years ago tho amount was
only $3.33. Four years ago it was a
little over $10.
Two Pounds of New Gold Ever Day
But while you have been sleeping
and eating and living your life In
the non-producing states the miners
in the West havo been digging out
gold at the rate of two pounds n day
for every day ot tho year.
Beside iMs enormous amount tho
riches of Solomon were Insignificant.
In I. Kings It Is recorded that In one
year he received "sixteen hundred
and three score and six talents of
gold" about $1 4.000.000.
Because of tho vast amount that
has been written about South Africa,
the Impression Is general that It Is
the chief gold-producing country. Its
output was onlv $30,000,000 worth
last year, and $0,000,000 in 1901. But
the 'war cut down the production
In those ycais. However, in 1900,
when there was no war, the total out
put was $73,000,000, or $8,000,000
less than that of the United States
last year.
The Increase in the gold production
In this country has been tremendous.
In 1SS3 the output was $30,000,000
In 10 years u had Increased only $3,
000,000. Then It began to bound up
ward, but It never touched the $S0,
oon.ooo until last year.
Colorado led tho gold-producing
states and territories with a total of
$27,502,429, while California was
second with $17,124,914. Alaska's
output was $7.S23,793. Montana
produced $4,134,30.5; South Dakota,
$7.39S.057; Arizona, $4,155,039; Ne
vada, $3,514,412, nnd Utah, $3,720,930.
There are In the Union not fewer
than 22 states that produce gold, ac
cording to tho statistics of tho mint.
