Of gold exceeded that Of silver in our

they cross the portal Of matrimony! AS
they for the first time take possession Of
their new house, and enjoy its cheering

expression of domestic peace, of joy,
they anticipate naught but bliss. In o
few years how changed! One after an
other has been added in various ways to
the company which began only with two,
until at length they find themselves
presiding over numerous circle Of
children, and relatives and domestics-
the father and mother both involved in
responsibilities, from which they would
have shrunk, had they anticipated them

In this country 81, OOO,OOO Is annually
consumed in making jewelry and for the
arts. Last year about $74, 700, 900 in
gold was imported to America, and this
added to the home production gives an
increase of $1O6, 170,262. If we add still
further the $37, 033, 1857 in silver pro
duced, we have $143, POP, 119 Of none
tary increase to our national wealth.
Large as this increase may appear, it is
as nothing when compared with our fu-
ture possibilities. The sudden influx Of
Eastern capital to the trans-Missouri
country will meet a want long felt, and
cause the great mineral wealth Of the
West to be rapidly developed. The rich
deposits Of gold and silver there hidden
in the earth will now be brought forth,
converted into money and made to adj
minister to the wants and conveniences
of mankind. America will astonish the
world in the next ten years, and, per-
haps, shake the value of precious metals
by her enormous production of them.
