These va- riations in the premiums were traceable exciusivaly: tathe foreign exchanges, and thesa foreign exchanges were influenced by the varying prices of coffee, sugar and-cot- ton, the leading articles of expert from that country, An advance in the prices of these goods in Europe and the United States leads to a decline im the price of gold in Brazil, whereas @ decline in their value in Europe leads oa corresponding advance in the price of gold in Brazil, The deductions to be drawn appeared the following—that ina country whose currency is paper, gold is a merohant- avie commodity, and, as such, its premium ts adent tapou the varying values of the leading articies flint the rate of foreign exchange is the barom: dicutor of the baiance ot trade, and that oh cur. reney can be boi ope to @ specie basis by the simple operation of natural causes, unless materially aided oy, the efforts of government, ‘Thore may possibly be some wlio doubt the infsines of foreign exchanges on gold and aiver. If such there are, | refer them to the comm panics of 19387 and ‘1858. ihe facts developed by each of these monetary crises established the axiom that the adverse current of foreign exchange drained the vate of specie, and caused, as @ Lecessary consequence, tho suspension of specie payments, If we search snd further fo forthe ad- vorse current of foreign uring there perioda, we shall find the causes thereof 10 “ie of the banks, etrmulating speculation and tho importa. = of foreign iuxurios, and thereby increasing the | for. debt of the country. he characteristic of the old aystem of banking was the entire absence of any Jixed —-s which to regulate the issues of bank notes, The results of tes, lu a weil peopled the results. 1 will endeavor operated in an isolated community. a bank is estéblisbed with $1,000,000 capital; suddeniy a apint o jon arises, and discounts are required tw the extent of tive or six millions, The bank granw these discounts gradwally, and as a consequence overg- thing doubles in valoe, ‘Ono extreme w generally fol. lowed by another extreme, and sn bo nga contraction Solows the excessive expansion of th raven wiet occurred Kastern Australia in 1842, Sheep which hud cron sold for 90 Oper neseweepeaanren & Irise Ws ¥ ve eight cents, and some few ere sold an awea as pave: oo ve tiwelve and a half pens poe not without its advaui extreme for tall sboep cauved them to be boiled do price of price of sbeep four tacnths afterwards, reg ned b by the price of tnJow, advanced from. twenty-st conts te one dolar. e evidence of facts with ee tho old agstem of banking Pen py demonstrates there ts a0 fixed basis for the circulating medium, the reeulte | have described follow ag naturally o@ cause nestion ari bower and elect, The cn spy 4 ines, nystom of banking be adopted?
