Decline I'm the value OF Money.

A late number Of tho Nouh American Re-
view contains an article on the increase Of the
u ecious metals, and The consequent reduction
in the value Of money. The writer shows, that
from the year 800 to l545, taccording to Hum.
boldIs sbIes,) the supply Of the precious met
ais obIained from America were about $1,000,
900 a year. From 1915 to 1900, the sup.
ply averaged SIl,OO0Oo0 a year. The
supply Wns largely increased from 1850 TO 1903,
the highest raIe estimated al $353O0 900, -
About the year 1900, Inc annual supply was es.
tmaled at $48. .937 600, OF which Sl264s,O 900
was gold, and $50, 2S9 900 silver. For The ten
succeeding years there was but line increase N
the supply, and down TO The wars in the Span.
ish American colonies, according to Jacob, the
supply from the American mines did not exceed
$50 900, 900 u year. 10 1884 McCulloch states
the supply from oil the world a, $50, ,OO0, 900,
In l847 this supply was increased by the pro.
ducls OF the Russian mines TO S67 900 coo, =
The products Of The California aud other mines
have swollen The amount in 1859 to $l79,284,.
900 in g,ld. and in silver $50 900, about 81 49,.
S34,0oO from all the world. The supply 10
1852 is about six times as large as ii was TWEEN.
~ years since. No reduction in the supply is
anticipated for number Of years. Should
there be reduction in the products of the Gal.
i(ornia mines, those Of Australia will, al least
make good any deficiency.
An important difference appears in the pres.
enI increase and that Of former years. Il is
'his-Ihe present increase is 10 gold, while that
Of former years was nearly all in silver. This
difference has already produced grea, change
in The relative value Of gold and silver, and a
still greater change is looked for. The Re.
view, in consideration OF The matter, thinks il
but the exercise of ordinary caution TO assume
that a" The annual supply of the precious metals
will not fall below hundred millions OF dollars
for many years, and that, in quarter of cen.
fury, this supply will depreciale money 10 one.
half or oneIhird its present value"
The general opinion is that Ihevalue Of mo-.
ney is reduced in the precise ratio of the in
crease of the quantity. There can be liule
doubt that The large increase in the quantity Of
the precious metals, will occasion important
changes in The value Of money, but no cause
for alarm is seen in that. The operation will
be very gradual, aud must continue for mauy
years. A decline in the value Of money will
increase wages aad the price of agricultural and
manufacturing PRODUCES, as we'll as real estate.
10 this general and gradual cnaOge there will
be no revulson to produce general distress. -
