Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gold and Prices Since 1873 Frewen, Nineteenth Century, October, 1885, p. 595, carries the error still further by claiming that prices change with the production of gold. One can not weigu much weight to Mr. Frewen, when he declares that capital is spent rather than accumulated in the United States, because of the heavy taxation 1 (p. Dr. Soetbeer, Materialien, p. 81, reminds us that both Huskisson and Jacob attributed the depression which prevailed in Europe after 1815 to a scarcity of the precious metals. He also mentions an interesting book by J. Helferich, published in 1843, which combated the Quantitats-theorie, and explained that credit can separate the function of a medium of exchange from that of a measure of value, and can serve as the former without affecting the latter. Most German bimetallists (excepting Dr. Arendt) agree with Messrs. Gifien and Goschen in attributing the fall in prices and the depression of trade to the scarcity of gold. But, on the other hand, Bourne, Journal of Statistical Society, June, 1879, p. 417, who denies the scarcity of gold, claims, with Mul hall, that the quantity of gold has no relation to prices.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gold and Prices The articles now reprinted were originally written at the request of the Editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, and appeared in its issues for March 21, 22, 25, 26, 28 and 29, 1912. By the kind permis sion of that journal, they are here put together in a more convenient shape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gold Supply and Prices Adaptable to changed conditions. There is no doubt but that if the present rate of increase in the world's production of gold should continue long enough, gold would ultimately become worthless as a standard. But the forces and influences which are at work, and which must be reckoned with before an intelligent opinion can'be formed, are varied and interlaced, and one must be careful to view the subject dispa331onately. It is, perhaps, easier to allow one's personal feelings and emotions to influence his ideas on the quest ion of money than upon any other subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Appreciation of Gold: And the Fall in Prices of Commodities The first vague hints of a calculation of the buying power of gold are, no doubt, to be found in N ewmarch's comparative tables, arranged in 1859-61 for the Journal of the Statistical Society; but the honour of a methodical and scientific evaluation of the problem belongs principally to J evons, who was indefatigable in his laborious investigation of facts concerning this matter, and further developed his theory in that voluminous treatise, The Variation of Prices and the Value of Currency since published in 1865. J evons' ingenuity in working up statistical materials into comprehensive figures seems to have led him into a superstitious belief in the power of evidence resident in those average figures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gold, the Further Rising of Prices and the Coming Financial Storm Before the advent of machine power in the affairs of business, man power was the basis for rating and performing all work. Man power, therefore, was the basis of the prices of all commercial things. Some of these things so rated were silver and gold. It was agreed by statute that units of man power were necessary to get an ounce of silver and units of man power, to get an ounce of gold. These notions were established when flour was worth a barrel, wrought iron a ton, and traffic 20 cents a mile ton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appreciation in the Price of Gold: Evidence of Henry C. Carey Before the Congressional Committee for Ascertaining the Causes of Recent Changes in the Prices of Precious Metals Following out the ideas that had been thus presented we find the Secretary, in his annual report a few weeks later in date, urging upon Congress the necessity for contraction; for making our bonds payable in coin with a view to render them more acceptable in foreign markets; and for passage of an act providing for pay ment, necessarily in coin, of principal and interest of the public debt to the annual extent of thereby enforcing the maintenance of a system of internal taxation of the most oppressive kind, and this at a moment when, under his threat of contraction, confidence had almost disappeared. Studying all this, Mr. Chair man, your Committee can scarcely fail to arrive at the conclusion that the Secretary's road toward reduction in the price of gold was to be found in steadily increasing the demand therefor; that, too, at a time when the total supply had already so declined that the average of the five years last past had been forty per cent. Less than it had been a dozen years before. Failing altogether to see that such a course of policy must result in ruin of the producing classes, the rich being thus made richer as the poor were made poorer, we find Congress, Obedient to the Secretary's commands, granting power to contract the legal tender circulation to the extent of in the first half year, and thereafter at that of per month; thus contributing its share toward that destruction of faith in the future which had been so well commenced by the Secretary himself in his Fort Wayne declaration of war upon unfortunate debtors issued some months before.
