HE WHO RUNS MAY READ Unity of tie I wired 8ttc largely In ert VorM's rrodactina ol Gold Is tuormoosly Urged. From "Gold or Silver." The purpose of this sorte of que- tlons and answers l to put. In simple -' form, the problems raised by the frco ' coinage controversy with a plain aiv swer to each. All statistical facts Riven v re transcribed from official puMIca " tlons, ami a lift of all authorities used la published at the end of the Cato- ehlsm. Question What Is the fundamental claim of the free-oinafte advocates? Answer They claim that the amount of money In circulation ha been de creasing since the demonetisation of silver, and that this decrease has caus ed a general fall In prices. Q. Is It true that the money supply has been decreasing? A. It la not. Q. What are the facts? A. So far as the Vnlted States Is concerned, there has been an enormous Increase. In 1S60 the money In clrcu latlon In this country was 1441.101.4.7 In 1ST! It was S73$.30.S4: by the treas ury bulletin at the opening of the pres ent month. It was l.:i,5S4.JS3. Q. What does this show? A. It shows that our money supply has increased i40 per cent as com' pared with 1S60, and IDS per cent as compared with 1S7J. Q. Has the money supply Increased faster than the population? A. Very much faster. Q. How do you prove this? A. By dividing the total money In circulation at each date by the total population at the same date, and thus finding the circulation per capita. Q. What does such a process show? A. The per capita circulation of the United States on July 1. 1S0, was J14.06; on July 1. lSTi it was J1S.T0; at the opening of the present month In 1S96 It was CtSS. Q. But has not the money supply of the world at large been decreasing? A. On the contrary, it has been In creasing rapidly. Q. How is this proved? A. By the statistics of new gold pro duction. Q. How large has this production been? A. The reports of the Director of the mint, which are ackuowledged au thority, show that from 1573 to 1?4 In clusive the world's total new gold pro duction has been 2..'S.?;U.900. Q. Is this new product of gold In creasing or decreasing? A. It is Increasing with enormous rapidity. Q. Give the figures. A. In 1ST3 the world's gold produc tion was JM.W.OOO; In 1W It was !. ,S1; in the year 1S?0 It was I11S.845, 000; in ISM it was Jl.SlOO; for the year 1S93 the exact total is not yet com piled, but it is closely estimated at J1SS.500.000. Q. What does this mean? A. It means that the amount of gold annually added to the world's money supply has more than doubled in the last twenty-three years. Q. Is not this annual rate of pro duction liable to decrease? A. On the contrary, all experts In the American, Australian, and South Af rican gold fields look for a further and very heavy Increase over the present rate of production. Q. But has not the present disuse of silver with full coinage facilities cut down the total annual addition to the world's metallic money supply. A. It has not. Q. Why? A. In 1873 the world's gold produc tion was JS4.2OO.00O; its sliver produc tion I81.SO0.O00; total, J178.0O0.0OO. Last year the production of gold alone was 1199.500.000. Q. Was not the combined annual production of gold and silver larger than this In the "bonanza days?" A. It was not Q. What was the highest record of that period? A. Between 185 and 1660 the world's average annual production of gold was 1134.083,000; of silver, 137,618,000; total, 1171,701,000, or less by 127,800,800 than last year's production of gold alone. Q. What are we to say, then of the argument that the money supply, since free coinage was abandoned, has been contracting? A. That It is utterly false as applied to the world at large, and especially so as applied to the United States. Q. It Is true, nevertheless, that the price of wheat and many other farm products has fallen heavily? A.-It Is. Q. How are such declines, in wheat, for Instance, to be explained? A. By the enormously rapid Increase In grain-growing area throughout the world. Q Has this Increase been especially rapid since 172? A. The increase in grain-growing area in this period, especially in North America, South America, and Asia, has never been approached In any eijual period In the hiHtory of the world. Q How do we Judpre of actual com peitlon in the sale of wheat? A. By the supplies thrown annually on the world's great distributing mar kets. Q What market In particular? A. England, where most of the buy ing nations go to purchase their grain. Q. What are the figures? A. As recently as 1SS0, Great Britain Imported, for consumption and re-ex-oprt, 65,251,924 hundred weight of wheat a large Increase over the pre ceding annual average. In 1895 It Im ported Sl.TPWX hundred weight Q. What has made possible this re markable Increase In wheat produc tion? A. The exceedingly rapid develop ment of transportation facilities In newly cultivated grain countries, among them India, Russia, and the Ar gentine Republic. J. Has there been an Increase In the United State? A. An enormous Increase. Q. How large? A. In 1S75 there were SS.JSI.51! acres of wheat cultivated In this country; In 1S!U there were S:i.JlS.sv7, an Increase, of 50 per cent. The yield In lT5 was 2. 136.000 bushels, a heavy Increase over preceding years. In IS! the yield was 611.7$O,fl0O. Kven Inst year, with a great ly reduced acreage an.l a partial crop failure, the yield was 4S..li0.is bushels Q. Has the yield of other crops In creased correspondingly? A. It has. Q. Give Instances. A. The cultivated area of corn In the United States In 171 was "4.01. 1S7 acres; In 1 It was ?.4.MS; In crease. 124 per cent. The yield of corn last year was more than double that of any year prior to ISTi. Both the acreage and the average annual yield of oats have doubled since 171. Our cotton crop In 1M was 50 per cent greater than In any year prior to lv7. v. Was a decline In grain and cot ton prices, under such conditions inev itable? A. As inevitable as a decline In the price of clothing, or furniture, or books. or steel rails, or pen, w hen competition In their manufacture has extended enormously. Q Would free coinage help the pro ducer, of grain to a larger profit, under such conditions? A. Not In the least. A. Why not? A. Because If the nominal prlve of grain were to rise through Inflation of the currency, the price of everything else would rise also, and the farmer would be relatively no better off than he was before. . Do the free coinage advocates use in their speeches these statistical facts which we have examined? A. They do not. Q. Can the subject be understood without examining them? A. It cannot; the whole question rests on these facts regarding money and production. Q. Why do the free-coinage speakers not use thes. facts and figures? A. Because the facts and figures are against them. Q. Is there any dispute over the truth of the figures quoted In these an swers? A. They are undisputed een by fr-j- coinage men. They are taken from1 the reports of the United Stales treas-l ury. of the department of agriculture. of the director of the I'nitt-d States mint, of the United States bureau of i tatistics, and of the British board of trade; all of them.

If you have ever seen a little rhlld In the agony of summer complaint, you can realize the danger of the trou ble and appreciate the value of Instan taneous relief always afforded by De Witt's Colic and Cholera Cure.
