In the interesting Interview with Sena
tor Jones, chairman *f th Democratic
Natloiuil Committee, published in our dis
patches yesterday, he it* quoted a# say
ing. “The silver question may solve -
•* if. Should the amount of gold produced
be ample to maintain a sutTh lent volume
of metallic money and lieuro the stability
of prices, the sliver question will be sub
ordinated, but Should I lie supply fail
short of the demand- of trad** the silver
queetion w .11 be made prominent."
Assuming that what Senator Jonas
known about sliver I# valuable. It Is bard
ly probable that the sliver question wlil
become prominent within the next quar
ter of a century. The output of gold |s
IncreaMng annually, und it would have
been much larger this year if it had not
been for the war In South Africa. It ha
been pretty' satisfactorily ascertained that
the mines with which the world Is now
Stqusiinted will yield all the gold that will
be needed for many year# to do w hat Sen
ator Jones say# go id must do to. keep
•he silver question in tin* background
In the campaign of
peatedly by those who were apparently
mst acquainted with the silver question,
that that question would settle Hself 1;
it were 1* i alone. The bullion value of a
silver dollar was then only about 41 cents
Now it Is ronnkWabJy more than that,
pnd It will Increase In proportion as tin
output of goal increase?*—that Is, unlev
there should be a very great Increase in
the ouptit of sliver. What sent the trillion
value of silver down was the extraordi
nary Increase in the output of that metal
It is doubtful, however, if there will
ever again h<4 a serious attempt In thi.-*
country to make the c inage of silver five.
The vast majority of |H-opl*' are con\lnced
H is an im|on#ihiliiy to have a double

favor of gold The time may rome in tn •

would be no great desire to depose gold

Mr. Robert Thoma-. formerly of the Glen-
Paper >1 Hl#,.claims that he ha#

will reduce lotion -*ai hull# to ;i satlsfar
tory pulp for paper makers This being
true, th p *** i bill tie# of the discovery Ire
come apparent. The jre*-ent supply of pa
per sto. k Is pr.M-Uoally in the hand*
of a trust, which has from time to time
arbitrarily advanced ihe price of white
paper. The supply of cotton need hulls Is
alm'v-'t unlimited, and could not well be
controlhd by nny oni hi nation If as Mr.
Thomas claims, the pulp from the hulls
ran i*e produced for at>out one-half the
* t of the pulp that is now being used
for the manuf.iefure of grad* of ticrs
that the hull pulp is available (or. then
there must be a reduction In th© cost to
consumer-® of tapers and w consid
erable profit to the manufacturers of ot

but a direct benefit must accrue to the
grower* of cot ion and the owners of the
mills which manufacture cotton seed pco
ducts With an lucrej-d d.-inand frr the
hulls, the prices for them which producers
an* now receiving would I** Increawed In

considerably larger return* for the cotton
crop.
Mr. Thomas, the discoverer of the pro
ceat*. displayed n lot of the cotton seed
hul‘ pulp to experts In New York rec©nt
ly. It whh found to l* white, soft, fibrous

other words, the selling price of writing

To make the most of the disrovery. it
is proposed that mills shall u* erected In
