The Supply of Gold.

There is another very important question, which those who by their vote propose to put us on a single gold standard seem to forget when they assert that there is sufficient gold at the present time to maintain the volume of business, and that there will be sufficient increase in the supply of gold to maintain the increased volume of business, and that fact is this: That twothirds of the gold produced in the United States to-day is produced at the same time and from the same mines as silver and in conjunction with silver. And further, this gold is produced from mines which are not sufficiently valuable for gold alone to justify their being worked, and therefore if we areforced upon a single gold standard, and silver mining is made impossible by reason of adverse legislation, or otherwise, the future product of gold in theUnited States will decrease one-thirtL —Hon.
