INCREASE OF MONEY AND THE COMMERCE OF THE
ISLANDS.
From the Pslynesian, Dec. IA
In an article on the money market, published IN
the Neic York Herald Of the 18th September, the
following remarks occur:
truth Is calculated that the yield Of the CALIFORNIA;
gold for the last twelve months has amounted to the
lars and that the product for the year which viii

way to Australia and China In exchange for the Pro-

world could not but exercise influence on the COM
psrstive value ofths precious metals It's effects are
even partially apparent to the political economist
and to the merchant aad capitalist Money sbounds

Is proportionslly abundant, The constant supply Of
gold from California has stimulated industry as we'll
commerce. and opened channels OF activity and
enterprise. 1t has worked palpable change in New
York as may be seen in the increased importations
from abroad Of silks satins lsces and other articles OF
luxury, the value OF many millions Of dollars. 1t 10

and other amusements too numerous to mention 1t
Observed also in the advanced prices Of real estate
houses and tee emsHts and In everything else. This
advance is not in valueit is only in price The real
intrinsic value OF lands and commodities remains the
tame but 1t requires more money to purchase them
than it did before the discovery Of gold In Cali
orns and the increase to the quantity1n
circulation throughout the world This increase caused
a depreciation in the value OF that article that
1t requires more of 1t to buy house or horse new,

previous and the value of gold will continue de-
creasing in exact proportion to the amount that IS
annually added to the circulation throughout the
world This is invsrable Law and its courss cannot
be changed or altered by any power within the con-
troll OF man.
The same results have been witnessed, also, at
/ the sc islands, but 10 limited degree. lmporta.
tons have very greatly increa sed, and still

! press prices, and that very soon Oar market is
now oversiocked with most kinds of goods, and
GALES of many articles are effected at prices merely
/ covering cost and charges.
A much greater amount of foreign merchandise
might be consumed by the population Of the islands,
| ana their comfort and convenience augmented IN
equal proportion, were the natural capabilities of
the soiI developed to any considerable extent Bl:
with the limited amount of production, with which
To pay Tor goods, we are not without fears that Sc

and very much inquired for by many parties; while

ule soil, and genial cline we certainly have; and
/ properly developed, these are quite as likely TO
prove of permanent value 10 the country as gold or
silver. But they lie unemployed, to by far 100
! great extent. The wealth that lies buried IN
the soil cannot be got at without capital and Id.
4 boz; and these are elements of advancement, that
have not, as yet, found Their way hlthef TO a sui-
1 cent amount. But very few plantations are being
opene d, while hundreds might, with every reasoa-
i able prospect OF success, be commenced at once
Their productions are wanted, and are likely 10
continue 10 be in demand, for all future time
Could lew OF the millions which are 5 AID 10 be
drug IN Europe, be actively employed here, the
cultivation Of the soil, the prospects OF the islands
would assume an aspeci Al once new, and full OF
i hope and prosperity. wealth would be then
created where none now exists The means for
i Improvement and permanent progress would exist
i here, at home, and eater al once into those de-
/ parments OF trade where most needed. Oar har-
\ bors would become the resort OF ships seeking eur
products, leaving their merchandise and money, as
those Of the West Indies, Manila and China now
are.
We hope 10 see this theory realized, 20 greater
or lees extent, within short time. The efforts of
the past TWO years, and the increase of exports
during that period, are certainly calculated TO IL.
spre The belief tina. this is but the day OF snal
| things; that our progress will be more rapid IN
future, and The development OF the dormant We ah
of the islands will progress more surely and sys.
tematcally than ever before.
