If thia be true, we think we may safely assume that ah the otto States and Territories to tbe Union yield an equal amount, making an average am of 1190,000,000 per annum for tbe same period, or a grand total of 2,000, 000,000. To bring the matter nearer to tbe comprehension of tboae who are not in the habit of dealing in large numbers we will State that it amnunta to $10,000,000 per month, or $333,333 per day The Nation which ia possessed of such vest resources in the precious metals, in addl tion to tboae whose intrinsic value renders them of equal or greater importance, and which are known to be unsurpassed in moat respects by those of any other coun try In the world, has only to properly bus- band them to secure her people at all times against any thing like a general financial crash, and to become tbe wealthiest nation ha tbe world, not from tbe amount of gold which she hordes, bat from the aid which it amy be made to give to commercial eu terprise and every species of i ados trial pursuits. Speaking of mining Mr. Oarnett say "And yet, while it involves nine out of every ten in heavy pecuniary loss, if not ab solute rain, its result and effect U to en banee the product and add to the wealth of the whole Country." He, therefore con eludea that " the devolopment of this im portant element of national wealth shonld receive every encouragement at the hands of tbe government, rather than be rep rear ed by a system of taxation, which prncti eally amounts to the taxing the privi'a of a man's spending hie own money for the public good." He supposes, however, that many of the evils under which this important interest has heretofore labored will be remedied by the mineral-land law of tbe hist Congress. He advocates complete abrogation of all taxes and re strictions upon mining enterprise?, and a radical change in our whole system of min ing laws," and then gays : " If it be true that gold alone is the true measure of value, and that the , metalic wealth of a country is the only safeguard to national and innividnal credit or solvency in periods of financial disturbance, it vould seem to follow as a very simple principle ef political economy that all legislation upon such a subject should be directed to t,be en couragement of its importation from abroad and the retention in circulation of oar own prod uc t ion ', or Us' the representation of other mediums of exchange, end into which they are at all times convertible. Yet, strange aa it may appear, all of our legislation up. on this important subject baa a directly opposite tendency. By imposing high mint charges upon the recoinage of foreign currency and exhorbitant refinfng and re venue charges upon foreign and domestic bullion, it deters tbe one from seeking our markets, and compels our own to seek tbe cheaper markets of other nations, or rather whee the smaller charges make its com mercial value greater than its minting rai se at borne." He says that while this subject baa boon engaging the attention of the first states men of Europe for the last three hundred years, who have been constantly modify ing their laws upon the subject and Adapt ing them to the changes in domestic and international commerce, it ha been almost entirely neglected by our government. Tbe little Escalation that it has done baa k foreign markets, instead of inviting Umhi the miner, he says they altogi-flier I to covac the coal Ikr-re. tea , - pn--l provides that they shall da so. acromiMiih all that tee gs i si ul ihwi in laaaaaapoat, lie oars that the private so 4 inert mil y want comsaeai jeaUen, aed thay vill soon so far outstrie (be acres unseat m the advasjlasaui ahejr will sdfcr to to aa sooa to relieve it altogether ef tbe ea penee of refining. Tbe government, he says, Bscs the tedious and expensive pre cces of refining by nitric acid, (whkh atone can be need ie the heart si a city.) while private rafinera ampUy the saara exprd, tious and economical process of sulphuric acid. He recommends rarioee etasr changes which he betMvea, in connection with those we have akeedy saentloned, would have tbe effect of raising toe com lag value of our bullion above ita ensasaaw eial value, the result of which weald he that the entire produce of our mines would be coined at home, and ear people be relieved of those constantly recurring periods of stringency in money matters growing out of the demand lor, and ship ment abroad of our bullion. We are no financier, neither hove wM any practical knowledge ef uiiuiug, refill ing or canting tbe pffrrasM nlasj. yet those suggestions and recommendations strike ua as being eminently wis aed prac tical.
