IN our last, whilst noticing the pamphlets of Mr.
Alison, we traced the downward prog►ess of British
industry since the passing of Sir Robert Peel's Cur-

rency Bill of 1819 and

our own opinions upon this
ready made known to the public, and as we are not
addressing a half-informed community, we shall
deal more with Mr. Alison's statistical proofs than
with his arguments. The latter, however, we shall
have to give in brief, in order to enable our readers
to apply the former.
Mr. Alison objects to an arbitrary price of gold,
as the basis of our circulating medium, because, in

the first instance, we cannot- insure a steady price
of gold as a commodity.

" The supply of the precious metals," he says, " coined
and uncoined, from the rich mines of Mexico and Potosi,
was tolerably steady through the whole of the 18th cen-
tury, and from the years 1800 to 1810, amounted, ac-
cording to Humboldt, to about 10 millions sterling a year.
About half of this treasure was coined into dollars, and

remitted in bullion and bars to Europe.

and such has been the destruction of

.n conse-
of the incessant civil war, and successive overthrow
ltnents which have ever since taken place in those
sions, that the supply continues at a very low rate."
It will be enough to state from Mr. Alison's tables
that in 1792 the money raised and coined in South
merica amounted to £5,264,672 ; and that, al-
zh fluctuating, it exceeded that amount up to
