1850, only 2 to /. In 1S49 the product
of precious metals was $9j,000,000; in
1859 it was $26l, 100000. The whole
amount now in the world is estimated at

increases prices. This has not proved
true, for in spite of the influx Of gold, and
in spite Of the repeal OF tle English corn

in general are lower, and wages higher
