contains article the increase OF the precious
metals and the conseque mt reduction In the value
of money The writer shows that from the year
1910 to 1915 according Il Humboldts tables) the
supply Of tho precious inctals obtained from Ame-
RIGA were about $ 3, 900, 900 year. From 1916 70
1000 the supply averaged 81 900 900 year The
supply was largely increased from m, l1So TO 1903.
the highest rate estimated at S IS. 800 OO0 About
the year $500 the annual supply Was estimated at
SIS .937 900, OF which l2.64S 900 was gold, and
Y36, 259 silver. For the ten succeeding years
there was bot little increase in the supply; and
down 10 the in the Spanish American colo:
nes, according TO Jacob, the supply from the
American mines did not exceed $40 900. 900
year. In 1884 McCulloch states' the supply from
all the world at $50 900 000 In lSa7 this suppiy
was Increased by the products OF the Russian
mines to S67 100000. The products Of the Cali
70, MIA and other mines have swoles the amount
in 1852 10 SITS ,264 .00Oin gold = 1888 ,S34 OO0 and
in silver about y 80 900 from all the world. The
supply in 1852 10 about six times large rs 1t
twenty years since. No reduction in the supply is
anticipated for a number of years. Should there
be reduction i'm the products of the California
miues, those of Australia will at least make good
any deficiency. tNafigtt at..H
An important difference appears in the present
Increase and that OF former years. 1t is ths-the
present increase is in gold, while that of former
years nearly all in silver. This difference has
already produced great change in the relative
value Of gold and silver. aud sill greater change
10 looked for. The Sisso, in consideration OF the
matter, thinks II but the exercise of ordinary
ton to assume that "Me annual supply of the pre-
cious metals tDll not (aH bsioto hundred miiiOns
Of dollars for many gears; and that, in a quarter
Of a century. Mi. supply soiH deprseiats Ssoney 10

The general opinion 10 that the value of money
is reduced in the precise ratio of the increase of the
quantity. There can be little doubt that the large
increase in the quantity Of the precious metals will
occasion important changes In the value Of money;
bat cause for alarm il seen in that. The opera

all the world knows of the grandiloquent
Boosting of Santa Anna previous to the great
battle of Cerra Gordo. One might have thought
from his dispatches that General SCOTT and his
army would be eaten up, with all his men,
horses and cannon. at single mouthful. Santa
Anna had posted himself on the heights OF
Cerro Gordo, and was as confident Of victory as
though it had been already won.
Precisely similar is the case Of The Demo-
Gratis at this hour. Their Boosting is beyond
comparison, and altogether above reason. They
have posted themselves on the Ohio and Penn
sylvania elections, and proclaim that victory
is as certain as if it were already won the dis.

General Pierce Endorsed by Austria.

For the first time since their organization as
a party. the Democrats find themselves minus
the irish and German vote. To compensate
for the loss, they have the satisfaction of know
ing that they enjoy the sympathy and-lt re-
port speaks truly-,he substantial support OF
the manufacturers and money-lenders of Britain,
who have every thing to hope from the success
of General Pierce.
The naturaized Irish citizens for General
SCOTT; the British press and the British purse
for General PIERCE! Such is one aspect of the
contrast.
There is yet another. General ScoTT has
the hearty support of our adopted German citi-
zens; and against this what has General PIERcEl
General PIERCE has not the German vote, but
he has the active friendship and assistance OF
AUGUST BELMONT, the acting charge d'affares
of AUSTRIA and the agent of the RoTHscHILDs!
In one point of view, then, General PIERCE
is pre- eminently the foreign candidate. lie has
throughout represented British industry and
capital as opposed to American skill and indus
try; and now, it seems, he is recognised by
Austria, with the RoTHsCHILDs at her back, as
her friend and champion in the Presidential
contest.
If any doubt upon this point, we refer to the
circular issued by AUGUST BELMONT, which
the New York Tribune has dragged TO light.
We print it in another column, and ask our
readars-German and American-to mark II
well. They will detect at glance the cha
racter and motive Of this Austrian regard for
General PIERCE; and, if we mistake not, will
battle and resent it.

lands by carrying the Boston aqueduct through

that Cen scorT will run ahead of the average

the utmost effort OF which they are capable to
swell the vote for Gen Scott to it's highest limit
not by sacrificing other friends to him. but by
making friends for him. We do not claim Illinois
for him but there is nothing to discourage the
hope that the popular vote may not be cast for
him two weeks hence, nevertheless. u will be

side headlong flibusterism, indefinite terrific

Democratic OMce.hOlders.

The PIERCE organs, SO vindlctive in their
attacks upon Mr.. CoRwIN upon grounds that
have no foundation, have not found time to say
a word in defence of Mr.. DALLAS, the last
Democratic Vice Preside mt, who while holding
that office prosecuted at least one claim against
the Government Of which he was n member.
The Union was short time ago exceeding y
anxious to ego to the country" with the rela-
tive purity Of the office holders of the two
parties as an issue for its decision. We accept
ed the suggestion and proposed to begin
with cases furnished under the Polk admins
tration. We took Mr.. DALLAs's practice
as that OF the second officer in the Govern
ment, and showed that while acting in that
capacity he was the agent for claim, which
was favorably adjudicated upon by the treasury,
then presided over by one Of Mr. DALLAs's
near connexions. The case seemed an excel
lent one to start with; but from some wondrous
cause the Union has been dumb upon the sub
ject ever since.

DEMOCRATIC TRIBuTE TO GENERAL ScoTT -
A distip guished Democratic officer of the army,
one of the strongest Democrats and at the same
time one of the most honorable men we ever knew,
ia now in this city. One OF our principal wing
citizens asked him two or three days ago whether
he would not vote for General Scott. "No, shall
not;" was his prompt reply. "You know Gen
cral Scott very Intimately" said the citizen, and
think him the greatest general in the WORLD re-
piled the officer. "And what do you think Of him
as civilian?' asked the citizen. 81 think, sir,
said the officer, "that practical civilian he Ia
greater than even Daniel Webster"
The name of this officer, il we had the privilege
of publishing Il, would give much force to these
high compliments paid by him TO political oppo-
