POLITICAL,
Coasequences of the Increased
iu3ply of Gold.
The considerations which three
years ago, were almost derided as to
the probable effects of the inere ased
supply of gold, are now assuming a
preponderence over all other sulbjects.
Awl. 'he anxious pause of curiosity is In.
tent, but it is nevertheless felt by ev
" ry one, and it is easy to understand
why it has not hitherto been more de
6idedly expressed. The land-own.
eys do not care to avow the full ex
tent of their hopes, and to stimulate,
a cry from the annuitant class for
preventive meddling. That class.
on the other hand, together with the
n.ucb larger body who dislike every.
thing that upsets routine and neces
sitates thought, endeavor to persuade
themselves into indifference. Thei
original disbelief having been forei.
bly overcome, they seek new refuge
in the conclusion that fresh uses Fir
the precious metals will prevent an .
alteration in value. The remaining
class, consisting of. ordinary men ~f
business, who are not affected by the
bias of either the lundloird s or the
anxnitants, hesitate to discuss a sub
ject which they have no tiutm i
work out, and on whieb nevertheless,
they are expected to he perfectk
clear. Under these eircumiistaices,
a although it may iavulve a repetition
of former statements, it will be use.
ful to review on1ce moire the general
bearings of the while questii.
To arrive at an exact s.lutian, i!
wouild be nec ssaryyto.' ascertain the
amount of gold and silver in th
world, and the present annuual con
sumption for coinage and the arts.
This is impossible, and coijectural
quantities must coiiseqnueuly be tak.
en. The total of cin has beea
. guessed at ??400.000,000. Uf' this
:150,000,000 may be uisna,. "l to
Qd,25,000,000 ,silver.
' nua consumption of gold is
believed to be under ?6,000.000
Starting with these figures, if the
demand for gill were likely to con.
tinue limited to its ordinary auu..'unit,
an estimate of the eTfect of the sup.
plies now pouring upon us could
easily be forued-Thoise supplies
within the few years since the diseov.
cry of Cilifornin, have probably ill
the aggregate left us an. excess of
upwards of ?30,000,000 over what
has hitherto been fond sufficient fur
current wants and to maintain air
equilibrium in the general relati n,
of property. The increase, there.
fore, has been equal to twenty pet
cent, on the whoae sun iii e.xistence;
in other words the measure of value
would'appear to have extended one
fifth (just as if a tweaty.five inch
Ineasute were extended to thir,
inches,) and hence the effect to be
looked for is obvious where gold i.
the standard, the price of every arti
cle adjusts itself to the relati iit
bears to that metal. If sovereigns
were twice as numerous, a man would
demand two where he now takes onea.
An increase of twenty per cent, in
the supply should therefore, have
been followed by a proiporinaie ad.
vance in the nominal value of al
things.
~ ''But signs are wanatinig of' anay such
general advance. It is necessary,
therefore, to inquire-irst u becther
ainy absolute test is available b,
which the chanige can be shownm to
have taken plhace in soine one in
stance, although it umy have been
cjunteractedl in others; anid nuex t, if
if this be imnpo.ssible, whether lie up
parent anomaly cant be explained on
different grouinds.
T1heo mo(st is!ect test woul'be
soughlt in the pice visilver, that ar
ticle next to gold hiavinag hitherto
been the least liable to variation.
But it was Iong ago poinitedl out that
ini those countries where g' b1 andl
silver constituted eqjually a leg~al ten
der, one metal as it baecamne miore
abundatnt, would displace the other,
amid that the surplus of gold would
thus be reduced, and a large amount
of disengaged silver be thurowni upon
the bullion market ini its stead.
Previously to the Califoiruiani <hscov
eries, silver was thie circulating ine
dium both in Franice and the United
States, because since the periods5
when the double stan lard w-as fixed
in those counties it had increased
tuoro rapidlly than geabl, andl all per
s ins having payments to make se
lected it, therefoie, as the best mle
dJau m. its relat ave chIa) ness5 itn
Fance, howe er, as c ingare'l w hi
d, was less than two per cent.,
while in America it was merely frac.
tional. When the Californian sup.
plies camtte fhrward the difference
soon disappeared, and silver would
have become relatively much the
;learest but for the displacement
which dien, of course, occurred.
When one hundred francs in gold,
instead of hein worth one hundred
and two francs in silver, fell in value
to a frrt:cion below one hundred
francs in the latter metal, it became
forthwith more profitable to make
layuents in gold, and to sell silver
at the market price for exportation.
In this way a large infusion of gold
tooik place in France. while in the
United Slates it absoslutely became
the most common circulating medium.
Thus the elleet of the new supplies
if goli has not been limited to that
metal. but has been litffsed over
:oH111 aml silver, and hence, instead
of being *qual to twenty ier cent.,
w behi would have been the case if
lie ?10,000,000 of gold had alone
hect in question, it has teen only
even aad a half per cent. from be
spreal over the entire. ?400,000,
(;00 &fgl4 and silver.

beeni, over bosth mseta .s.
At the endii of thait peiod the con
Sequl-ees wrill be felt by gold alone,

tioniablyv exlhit ai more raii id distuir

not be overlooked that the inicrease
of gall chI~ year will have mean
whli il dii:ishied thme per centago~ of
ateatio in wihich waouild ttherwise take
place. For~ nlstancise, the total amount
of golf in the world, which is now
assmneid at ?150,000,000, and a'
priulCtioni ubichi, operating upon the
first stum, woisuld, under those circum
stanices, cauise only an additional
rise of six per centL. I~is is a fea
ture of great importance in the whole
quelstioni, because it will constantly
tend to counteiract that increasin~g
ratio of dIistulrbanice which might be
ant icipantedl if the sup~ply of' each sue
ceedling year should pirove larger andl
lin i that, with a dlimainutiom in the
purchasing power of gld, there will
be a iroper:ion:ate thm11unition in the
inducement to sock it. If the quan
tity of gold were doubled tai morrow,
a man whoj is at present content to
work for one once a week, would
then not be satisfi.*d with less than
two ounces.
In the face, however, of these
qualifying circumstances, and of the
uncertaiuty of all the assumfedl totals
that have beea dealt with, it. will be
plain to most persons that there is
enough to suggest some very decided
ideas as to the main results that are
coming cn.. A mistake of a hundred
millions in the figures one way or the
other would only make a difference
of three or four years (where the an.
nual supply is at the rate of ?30,
000,000) in the date of fli'filmcnt.
Even if we were to take the whole
?400,000,000 of assumed money as
liable to be acted upon, it would re
quire little more than fifteen years of
the existing production to cause an
alteration in the relations of property
of fifty per cent.
But it is urged that the extraordi
nary impulse given to trade and lux
ury by these discoveries, and the
greater prosperity of the whole world,
will cause an increased demand for
coin for circulation, and a vast con
sunption of both gold and silver in
manufactures and the arts. It is
difficult to see how these conclusions
are arrived at. In California and
Oregon new communities have risen
up, numbering two or three hundred
thousand souls, among whom com.
merce has shown an activity never
before witnessed, and vet a few nl
lions of bullion have sufficed to estab
lish an abundant circulation, although
all the means of ectmi:~nising it which
are usual in older States, have vet to
be intr'oduced. We have here, there

of urchuasers of a riughtr artich-s, in:
cunstitutc s one of the chief elements
of expense. It is moreover against
all experience to suppose that a large
demantd would be coincident with a
failinig market. With a possibility of
gold and silver steadily declininig in
value, pcoj le would be much meore
likelyv to dininish than to intcreaise
thteir peurebaises. 'lhis groundc of
calculation sems thier( fore, to haive
no better foundation than the other.
Any increase of consumption that
mtay possibly take place is conise
qjuently likely to be altogetler of an:
ummrzportaiit kind as regards lie great
q1uestioni at issue, and even if any
thing of the sort should be observable
it will probably he more owing to
electro-platinug than anything else; an
invention which it was at first thought
would hesseii the dlemand, but whicht
has increasedl it by superseding all
inferior umaterials.
We arrive therefore at the uinni.
tered coniclusion that the Californiani
and Australian: discoveries, even at
their present r-ate of *yiel will pr~o
duce effects of a mbomenitous chiarac
ter, whtich neothintg is likely in an
material manner' to coun teract. WX'hati
may be witness d if further experi
en~ce at Port Philip and Que'en
Charlotte's land~ should ..e1:,., the
extraordinary contingencies that
seem to be indicated, and if the sup
ply of silver should simultaneously in
crease to the extent that some per
sons anticipate, is a problem upor
which each inquirer will'rm -liu
ow opinion.
will remain to point out that
simultaneously with these changer
the increase of production in article:
of food, clothing, and luxury, which
has been strikingly manifested as a
consequence of ft cc trade, will steadi
ly continue, and will thus most 'proba
bly prevent most of those articles
from rising in price-that is to say
although a man ten years hence
might have to pay two sovereigns for
some few ar ticles, the production of
which had remained stationary,
where lie would now pay only one
he might possibly be able to get a,
much flour, or coffee, or calico, foi
his oie sovereign as lie gets at this
moment. If this be the case, it will
be said the position of the aninuitan
will be unchanged. But there is
something else to be a bledh Al
though the income of the annuitant
might obtain for him all that he non
gets, and his position will be ictually
as good as ever. it will no ibeso b)
comparison. His income gill hav<
stood still while all others lave beer
increasing, and, although the greater
supply of articles of general coiSumJp
tion will enable him to livelas he for
nerly did, society at large will havt
advanced to noch more textensvt
expenditure. A cottager' :wil o:
the present day, for instan ,in con
sequence of the impn'roveme iii man
uactures, wears clothing, which i
hundred years back could riot have
been obtained by persons 'f wealth
but her relative position in the socia
scale is precisely the samt as forner
ly. If the wealthy lady' h.'hat time
were now living, and 'coal ly ref
-teonher money w rnte ui io
would be in comparative poverty, an.
it will be seen, there'bre, the refot
that does not follo' frota the fact of
an individual being able to enjoy foi
the future all that he has hitherto ob
twinled that he may not practicall
till from a good income to a narrov
one.
Vith regard to rminor points, litth
requires to be said. boine people art
still thuiil to ask whether the Bank r
to .o on giving the price of ?3 17s
Ud. per ounce for gold; whereas, al
that the Bank gives when it issues s
note is an acknowledgm ent that r
certain amzounvt of gold has been de
lositel with it, which the trearer mray
have back whenever he likes to apply
tur it. Gold constitutes the genera
mleaiure of price, and the efore is th
ioaly thing that has not a price of in
olti. It is simlJy receivable at th<
rate incitioned; that is to say, wher.
one man talks of owing another ?.
17s. 9., lie means that he owes hill
anl ounce of goll. To speak Iiterall

turn, gold to more account than
sand, the world is so much the better
off'by finding that, mixed With what
was thought to be all sand, there'Rs
a large amount of gold. To deplore
the announcelient of this fact, is
simply to deplore that another gift has
been to us. Oi the other hand, their
i consequtnces upon the 1movemients of
mankind are more palpably beneficial
than those of anly other physical e
vent pet recorded. hlistory shows the
constant influences exercised to induce
the race to spread over the earth, so
as to avail themselves of all that it
offers. instead of yielding to the sel
fish indulence that confines thern to
limited spots, and wlhether this is
brought about by an escape from
Egypjt.ian bolndage, by barbarian
incurs ionis, by the fiilure of crops, or
by political persecutions, the benefi
ient end is m less plhinly ar rived at.

Where wve Are and What we
Should He.
Our age is one of progress. An
eager spirit seems to be all pervading.
Enterprizes, which a fe:w years since
would be held visionary. now lie with
in the reach of a moderate etlbrt. Our
sails which so long hung idly flapping
the mast, have caught the inspiring
gale. Our barque so long becalmed,
wakes herself up for the race. Like a
met tlesoime courser she has bounded
firlh with a gay start, and we need no
dread competition from any quarter.
A like spirit has been infused into
our political position. Our State isno
longer in that inactivity which could
never harm her foes and would never
save her people. Achilles nursed his
wrath while he slept in his tent. But
while he nursed that wrath his cause
was defeated. It was only when he
joined his friends, that he became use
ill to himself, or to those with whomit
lie had a conmon cause.
This communism of our own is now
thoroughly understood. Its existence
and and necessity are no longer de
bateable. It has passed now into a
fixed principle, and henceforth is to be
the beginning, not at once, the end of
our aigunent. In living for ourselves,
we must live for others. The political
relations of nations, occupy the place
of those natural alleetions, which knit
so close the syimpathies of men, in their
domestic capacities. Politically, we
are not alone, but part of a faimily.
And fi omi that relatioiihi;', are derived
certain benefits, and result certain du
ties, clear and positive.
Whatever may tend to increase
these benefits, and enable us most ef.
fectually to discharge these duties, be.
come imperative on us. And to this
point, we propose to address ourselves
briefly.
The benefits are those which result
to any people, from being sustsined
and protected by a political nmnion
with others, who live under a similar
political system. It cicates an alliance,
offensive and defensive. It developes
a condition of the greatest securij in
this promotes their political hppiiiiess.
The duties, therefore, are not only to
preserve these invaluable ends, but so
Jar as we can, to strengthen and im
prove them.
Now the great defect in our politi.
cal co:ndition is, that the botid which
should unite most closely the people
of our State with the people of the oth
er States, is wanting. Nay, the bond
which should unite us at lome, each
with the other, is not to be found. in
South Carolina, there cannot he any
union between any two in one matter
of the highest consequence to the pub
lic weal ; of course there cannot he
any union with those outside the State.
o a will be a ed why ? The answer
is ready : T.e people of &uth Curoli.
na have no voice in tl election of the
higihest oflice in the Union. Practicul
iy, they have no more to do with the
chuice of the President of the United
States than with the election of the
same oflicer in France. They were as
touch felt in the late election for Louis
Napoleon, as they will be in that of
Franklin Pierce. In every portion of
the world, the right of the people to be
heard is being conceded. It must be
so. With thn general spread of intel
igien-e, yotn ia as well expect o er.
saade the peole to live with fefters on
t heir limbs, as with unnatural restraints
on their piv.ileges. If money is to
be raised, tramt theta come the taxes.
It' war is to be waged, fromiz them come
the blows. Frmi them, and the

do int alloewitng us to act in combina

We do not propose to discuss the

so. 'There is no reasoni focr it. TIhmere
can be no reason why, if a people
