GOLD PRODUCTION.
The gold producers on Gastinea
channel and elsewhere in the coui
try who continued operatioi
throughout the war period and wr
are continuing now without prof
have served and are serving high!
patriotic ends. Something in exce;
of two hundred billion dollars c
paper money, bonds and other si
curities have been placed in circuli
tion, the final redemption of whic
must be in gold, as a result of tb
war. Something like twenty-five c
thirty billion of this has been fioa'
ed in the United States. The safet
of commerce and industry and put
lie and private credit of the wor!
—including the United States—d‘
mands that the production of golc
the foundation of the whole finar
eial structure, must continue. Otl
erwise, the structure might becom
topheavy and collapse.
Early in ISIS, that master o
finance. Secretary of the Treasur
McAdoo, addressed a letter to Cor
gress, and made statements, in whic
he recognized the great service tha
the gold producers were rendering
He said that it was of the utmos
importance that there be no reduc
tion in the output of gold, and h
urged gold miner? to stick by the;
guns and serve the country. H
said that a reduction in the gol
output would be fraught with grav
dangers to the country and to bus

So urgent was the necessity c

normal, and to increase it if possi

11price of gold or of giving a bonus !
y ; to gold producers,
s; The country did nothing, how-;

ti: The need for a continuation of!
e gold production, points out the Ju-j
r! neau Empire, is just as great now j
- as it was during the war—or nearly]
y ! so. All this paper is still in circula- i
- tion. The proportion of the de-j
i nlands for gold to the amount of
actual gold on hand is so high out- j
, side of the United States that
- European money and Canadian mon-!
- ev is at a discount, as compared !
s with American money. American '
j money is at par, largely because!
f the United States has more than her

tjcountry, 4*4 and AVt percent Gov
t ernment bonds, payable in gold, are
slightly below par. To keep these'
t; securities from falling and to main-i
j
- tain the value of all American mor.
