circulation Of money can be permanent
ly beneficial 10 people, but that which
acts upon and stimulates their industry.
Spain furnishes a striking example of
his truth. Before the discovery of the
South American mines, her population
was equal to, if not greater than the pre-
sent--her relative strength, power and
rank in the scale OF Europe, was great
err: and yet Spain has annually drawn a
large amount of gold and silver from
her American colonies. With all these
apparent advantages on her side, Der
neighbors, France, Holland, England

ence.
