G itnn'JCTION CP PRECIOUS METALS. dolrt Yield ef the World for Elghtetn Yeara-Bllver Statistics. All the worU Is Interested In th worH's pro duction of the precious metals. 1 rom the car lietH ages itailc-lan- have endeavored t o ra ify public curiosity, and, possibly, olye politico economical problems, by estimating the amount r cold In existence at ditlerent periods. Three calculations are curious and Interesting, und possibly correct. AMOCNT OP GOLD IN EXISTENCE. For convenience, we state. the pold values Klven In the following estimates and tables in Bullion of dollars. The estimated amount of told iu existence at the commencement of the Christian era was $427,000,000. At the discov.-ry ot America, In 1492, this amount had dioiioiBhed 10 $57,000,000. In 1600 the amount had rinen to 16.00U,000; in 1700, to $351,000,000; in 1800, to $1,251,000,000. The Hussian mines, extending over one-third of the surface of the plobe on parallel dfty-Hve flegTees north latitude, were discovered In 181'J. In 1843 the estimated amount of gold In exist ence was $2,000,000,000. Next followed the dia coveries in C'aliloruiH, February 9, 1848, and in Australia, February 12, 1861, which added enor mously to the gold production, la 1853 the amount in existence was $3,000,000,000; in 1800, It was $4,000,000,000. To account lor this vat increase, from A. D. 1800 to 1800, we give the estimates that from the discovery in 181'J to the close of 18(50 the Rus sian minus added $740,000,600, and the (J;tli , lorn'a and Australian discoveries adJed at least (to the same ye,nr) $2,000,000,000 more. MINING TRODUCT. From the commencement of the Christian era to the discovery of America it is estimated that fold had been taken Irom the surface and iniDed to the amount of $3 800,000,000; from that date to the close of 1842, $2,800,000,000; to 1800, Kussia adds $710,000,000 and Calitoruia ana Australia $2,000,000,000 more. These are esti mates; we shall give, presently, tabular state meuts of the world's production for a period of eighteen years, which will convey a clearer idea ol the amount an! increase from year to year. The annual average product of gold at the commencement of the Christian era is estimated at $8,000,000; at the discovery of America this product had diminished to $1011,000; in 1600 it bad Increased to $2,000.000; In 1700 to $5,000,000; in 1800 to $15,000,000; in 1843 to $34,000,000; In 1850 to $88,000,000; in 1853 to $230,000,000; there was a subsequent falling off, so that in 18C0 the product was only $210,000,000. The average annual loss by the wear of coin Is estimated at one-tenth of one per cent.; the loss by consumption in the arts, and by fire and shipwreck is calculated at from one million to three millions per year. It is not claimed that these estimates are en tirely correct; they are approximately so, no 1oubt. The annexed table were carefully com piled, and they are believed to be correct. OLD PRODUCT FOR A PERIOD OP EIGHTEEN YEARS. We give the total gold production of tlie world for a period of eighteen years, from the Cali fornia discoveries to January, 1868. The first fifteen years are given in periods of five years, and in the last three years the amounts are etated separately. The value of the products is stated in millions of dollars, and to economize epace we give only the figures for millions and liundreds of thousands: PBODUCTION OF GOLD, 1818-1S63. . , .-Quinquennial Periods- Countries of Production..

The relative values of gold and silver have been ascertained, with probable accuracy, almost from the date of the discovery of these precious metals and their use as mediums of exchaupe. In the time ol Abraham the relative vnluc ot gold to silver was one to eight; a thousand years before the Christian era it was one to twelve; B. C. COO it was one. to thirteen; at the commencement of the Christian era it was one to nine. Since that period the standard, more positively stated, has been as lollows: A.D. 500 cold to silver ns 1 to 18 A.D. Jloo " i to 8 AM. 1100 " " I to H A.l. 1000 " Uol3 A.D. 1700 " " 11O10J4 With plight vaiialion the latter ratio con tinued to 1848. Before the California discoveries in that year, pold uniformly cotniUBuded a pre mium which the inilux then destroyed, and the demniirt for silver occasioned a slight premium on the latter. The ielutive valucol gold to silver in London that year was Id. to 16d. The price ot gold was then 17. 6d. per ounce, and of silver 6!id. per ounce. On the 1st of Junuary, 18G0, silver was C2d. per ounce. This rise was due in a degiee to the fact that short supplies of cotton irom this country during the war required large sums of eilvcr to be sent to India for cotton, as well hs for other articles. Alter the gold dis coveries in California, France began to exchange lit r silver for void currency, sending the silver to Indin lor silks and other products'. The tea and silk trade ol China with all countries also absorbs un immense amount of silver. COMPARISON. The Bilver Btatistics give $1,620,400,000 of pro duction in eicbteen yetira, against a gold yield of $3,341, CC0.000 in the same period, or an average ot $90,022,222 In silver to $185,638,888 in gold. Trustworthy statistics, covering all the pro ducing countries of the yield ot gold and sliver for 18G6 ere not now accessible; but the reader can easily estimate the probable productioa irom the relative amounts in 1803-C4-C5 in the tables given. It will be seen Irom the silver tables that the annual increase 6ince 1847, except in the United States, is very moderate, while the nnnnal gold product Is constantly increasing from new discoveries, and especially from the application of scientific processes to the extraction of the ore. GOLD COINAGE. We give the following statement to show the enormous increase in the gold coinage of differ ent countries in the decade 1850-60, following the. double discoveries in California and Aus tralia: From 1792 to the close of 1860, the total void coinage of the I'nited States amounted to $610,000,000: of this total the large proportion of $525,000,000 was coined in 1850-60. France coined in the period extending from 1726 to 1860, 7,700,000,000 francs, ot which 4,200,000,000 francs were coined after 1850. Russia coined, from 1850 to 1800, 220,000,000 roubles, out of a total coinage since 16C4 of 486,000,000 roubles. Great Britain shows a coinage in ten years from 1850 of 54,000,000, out Ol Jt259,000,000 coined since 1U03. estimates and expectations. In 1860 tt was estimated that, In the course of the coming decade, with tho explorations then in progress, the total gold product would be otic million dollars daily. These expectations have not yet been realized. INSTRUCTION. THE. GREAT NATIONAL TELEGRAPHIC AND COMMERCIAL INSTITUTE, No, 710 AKCH STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA.
