On the Effects of the Gold of Australia and California. By J. CRAWFuRD. 
The principal results sought to be established were, that the enormous quantities of 
gold and silver suddenly thrown upon the market during the last nine years have not 
produced a proportionate depreciation in the price of these metals, and rise in prices ; 
and that the cause of this arises from the capacity of modern industry to increase 
indefinitely the impetus given to manufactures and commerce by the discovery of the 
precious metals. 
The experience of the last nine years leads to the conclusion that the great fall in 
ptices commonly supposed to have taken place in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- 
turies, after the discovery of the American mines, if it really took place, did not arise 
from this cause, but from the growth of industry thus fostered, and the general pro- 
gress of society. The author pointed out that, unless new mines are discovered, the 
proportion of gold and silver yearly imported to the old stock will be diminishing 
gradually, and that in any case the industrial development will absorb the new supplies.
