A SERIOUS CAVE-IN.
Another Fall of Eartli Takes Place
Near Higgins' Store.
Another fall of earth occurred on the
road butween Hlgglns store and the
residence of Samuel Lee, on the South
Side, last Monday night. This depres
Flon is a continuation of an extensive
cave-In, which led to the closing of the
road by the mine department some time
nso. The fall Is over twenty teet deep,
and is a part of -Burton Heading," in
the Powderly mine.
There Is no immediate danger to the
property In that vicinity. Measures are
being taken to prevent further settling
of the mine. Eight chambers are in
volved, and until made safe the opera
tors will have work provided in other
places.

the business men of the city wlilltifr

mer attempts to secure this desirable
result. Commencing next week the
torus will close at eight o'clock.

Fit EE COINAGE CATECHISM.
Questions and Answers Which Appeal
to the I'nderstunding.
From the New York Evening Post,
Q. Where are the latest official figures
ot the world's gold production? A. In,
the Mint Director's estimate for 1S6,
published last week, since this Cate
chism was begun.
V(. What does this estimate show the
World's present annual gold production
to be? A. $220,000,000, or $17,000,000 more
thun lu IS95. .
U. Compare this total with previous
periods? A. The world's average an
nual production of gold, between 1870
and imt, was $115,081,500; of silver $!U,
857,500; total $206.39.000. or less by $13,
OOO.OuO than this year's estimated pro
duction of gold alone. As lately as 1S84
the world's combined production of gold
and silver was less by $l;i,0O0.0oo than
Its present production of gold alone.
Q. Does this $220,000,000 of new gold
come freely Into circulation? A. It
does.
y. How can you prove that fact? A.
By the annual coinage statements of
the leading gold-producing and gold
imiiorting nations, all of which show a
steady Increase. By the amount of gold
in the world's great depository banks,
which has increased with equal rapidi
ty. These are perfectly trustworthy
signs.
W. Is it not true that most of the new
supply is "cornered" by the Roths
childs? A. There Is not the slightest
reason for supposing such a thing.
y. But If the world's gold supply has
been Increasing so rapidly, and is not
"cornered," why has It grown hurder
every year for our government to main
tain its own gold reserve? A. Because
of the free silver coinage movement in
this country.
y. How can that movement affect our
gold reserve? A. First, by forcing so
much new silver and paper money into
circulation that nobody pays gold any
longer to the government. Second, by
the threat that the free coinage party
will redeem the government notes and
bonds in silver only, which Causes hold
ers of the notes to present them now for
gold.
y. Why should such holders present
their government notes for redemption
now? A. For the same reason that
made people, h) the old state bank days,
rush In for redemption the notes of a
bunk which was likely to stop payment.
y. Are there not other nations than
our own whose currency requires a
large gold reserve? A. There are.
Q. What nations, for Instance? A.
Germany. France and England.
y. Do not these countries have the
Fame trouble with their gold reserve as
our Treasury does? A. Not In the least.
The gold reserve In each of these three
countries Is larger than necessary, and
Is constantly Increasing.
Q. Why Is their situation so different
from ours'.' A. Because there has been
no doubt of the money standard in Ger
many. France or England.
y. But lias not the L'nlted States al
ways hud especial trouble in getting
gold for its currency? A. It has not.
Q. When did It get gold easily? A.
Between 1834, when the gold standard
was adopted, and 18(11, when paper
money was substituted and the gold
standard abandoned.
Q. Did gold flow In readily at any
other period? A. It did.
Q. When? A. After the resumption
of specie payments by the l'nlted States
In 1879. which was accepted by the world
as our readoptlon of the gold standard.
y. What followed that resumption of
specie payments? A. Within two years

$174,000,000 gold was sent to us from
Europe.
y. But surely this gold did not go Into
the treasury? A. More of it than the
Treasury needed went In.
Q. How do you know that? A. As
early as September 19, 1879. the secre
tary of the treasury announced that
"gold coin, beyond the needs of the gov
ernment, had accumulated In the treas
ury," and authorized the use of gold In
regular treasury expenditures.
Q. Were those two years a period of
prosperity? A. For this country a per
iod of unparalleled prosperity.
Q. How long did this prosperity last?
A. Until the silver coinage movement
was again threatening our maintenance
of the gold standard.
Q. What happened then? A. Gold
payments Into the treasury almost
ceased, and Kold withdrawals through
redemption of government notes grew
larger.
y. Suppose all the gold In the Treas
ury reserve were to tie used up; what
what would happen? A. The govern
ment could not pay gold coin to the
holders of its notes.
y. What difference would that make
to a holder of a government note say
of a dollur bill who did not car to use
gold? A. His dollar bill would deprccl
ale uloug with all other government
notes. Since it no longer could exchange
for a dollar In gold. It would no longer
buy whut a dollar In gold would buy.
y. How would such depreciation show
itself? A. By an urlitkial und general
rise in prites, without a rise in wat;ea
and suluries.
Q. Has this ever actually happened?
A. During our civil war, when the gold
standard wun abandoned, the govern
ment puier money depreciated to f0 per
cent, or its gold value, the gold premium
rose above 100, und there was a frightful
advance in prices,
y. Then would suspension of gold
payment on government notes Injure all
holders of such notes? A. Sooner or
later It would cheat every mun with a
dollar bill In his pocket.
