stand that lis advice to the sayages means.
If it were adopted, he rousing OF the savage
nature and tho mu rider of hundreds of the

nate slaughter and the brutal torture of the
wives and children Of the brave pioneers who
have made the bowling wilderness beautl-

to assume the aggre ssive upon The settlers in

to Mr.. Welsh, 1t this is sample Of his abili-

The Production of Gold.

Gold, the most valuable of all the
metals, is issued by all civilized nations
as standard of value. Besides enter
ing largely into the arte, it forms the
coin most generally in use in Europe
and the United States, and is an article
of production and export from the lat
ter country. Gold is preferable to sill
yer for coin, as the expense of coming
a given sum is only about one-tenth of
that of silver, while it is much more
conveniently carried and in large sums
it is more easily and rapidly paid out.
1t is exported in bars and in coin.
A great impetus was given to COM
merce about the middle of the present
century, by the astonishing increase in
the production of gold which took
place at that period. The immediate
effect was an advance in the prices Of
certain necessary articles required in the
then remote mining regions of Califor-
MIA and Australia, and in a demand for
vessels to transport these articles, to-
gether with thousands of adventurous
miners and traders, to the mining dis
| tricts The next effect was 10 disturb
the relative value of products, gold
being the standard of value. This
gave higher prices higher prices slim
ulated production; and increased pro
duction demanded of commerce new
markets for exchanges, and new ano
larger facilities for etfectiug them. Thi:
demand upon American commerce was
promptly met. 1t Immediately estab
lished steam communication between
New York and New Grenada; founded
a new city on the coast of the latte
country for the accommodation of gen
eral commerce; built railroad across
the Isthmus OF Darien organized steam
ers on the Pacific to connect New YorH
with San Francisco; constructed tele
graph across or under the Atlanti,
ocean; made and equipped railroad
over and through the hitherto compare
lively impossible Rocky Mountains
and, finally, established direct steam
communication between our own coun
try and Japan, China, and the Eas
indies; all these wonderful achieve
ments having been accomplished with
in the space of about 20 years after tn
new discoveries of gold.
The continued production of golc
from the sources dlluueu 10, as We'll
from other parts of the world, woul'
seem to preclude the probability of
return to the general scale of price
which existed prior to the year 1850.
The annual production of gol'
throughout the world is now pretty UNI

try more Or less each year, but in tn
aggregate is probably not far from 5000
