Why. sir. an era of neexampled prosperity. The opening of the gold placers of the Sacramento basin and the silver lodes of Nevada has led to a development of the Pacific slope. an accumulation of wealth. and an acceleration of the general progress of civilization in America nparalleled in the annals of history. Commerce has been duplicated and reduplicated. agriculture has been stimulated. emigration has been encouraged. and every material and industrial interest has been promoted. The silver and golden stream. like the ancient Pactolus. has poured its profusion of wealth into the lap of stagnant trade and discouraged industry. and the energies of a young nation revived and shook their invincible locks like a giant refreshed from his slumbers. A large part of our broad domain which before was a barren wilderness became a veritable "garden of the Lord." A similar state of prosperity was produced by the generous circulation which the country enjoyed in 1865. 1866. and 1867.
