I A Spaniard, in an interesting work re.
Gently published, has shown that the value
of the coal dug up every year in Great
Britain, even at the mouth of the mines,
is much greater than all the gold and silver
which is yearly obtained in the New
World /; and, moreover, that the coal is
the occasion of the employment of so
great number of persons, that the annu-
al value of their labour surpasses that of
the valuable metals found in America
each year. The following is the mode by
which he proves this:-Every year, ON
the average, 100000 tons of coal are
dug up, the general value of which at the
mouth of the mine he calculates at l2f
Soc per ton, which gives in the whole
225 900, 900 francs, The yearly produce
Of all the works in America for gold and
silver, including the contraband trade.
was at the commencement of the nine
teentl century, when they had reached
all the highest point of prosperity, and
their produce was the greatest, according
to Humboldt, in his Essay on New-Spain,
|2l7 100000 francs which gives a diff.
ference of z 1-2 millions of francs in IA
YOUR of the coal. The ton of coal, when
carried coastwise, generally costs the con-
sumner 40 francs; when carried inland it
costs on the average 20 francs to the con-
sumner. But taking only IS francs as the
mean cost of each ton of coal, we shall
have for the eighteen million tons the
sum of 45O, 100000 francs. Deducting
from this the value of the coal at the
mouth of the mine, we shall have
225, 100000 francs for the value of the
human labour employed in the coal trade.
The expense of conveying silver from
Potosi to Buenos Ayres, distance of five
hundred leagues, is abont two per cent
for gold somewhat more.
Now, taking this as the average cost on
all the precious metals to the ports where
they are to be shipped, we shall have
somewhat less than 100000 francs for
the whole. This may without hesitation
be taken, when we compare the value Of
the coal of Great Britain with the value Of
the American gold and silver. From the
whole, therefore, it appears that the value
of the coal, and the wages Of labour,
profits, &c. on it amount to the sum Of
450, 000,O 900 francs and that the value
of the gold and silver. together with the
cost of carriage, amounts to 222 500, 000E
This shows that there is ain overplus in
favour of the English coal trade to the
amount of :s27, 500, 000f--London paper.
