Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case Against Bimetallism The effect is that the essays are not in the order which would have been adopted in a systematic treat ment of the Subject. If I had had time and strength, I should have endeavoured to recast them; but this is not possible for me, and an introduction like the present becomes necessary. The first essay, then - which I have now called The General Case against Bimetallism, and which, when it was first published in 1879 in the Fortnightly Review, was simply described as The Case against Bimetallism - deals with the whole argument from the point of View of the disorder and extravagance of bimetallic literature, and on the assumption that the main issue, to which I made the briefest reference in passing, had long since been decided. The reference is there, but the main topic is the extravagance of the language and argument of bimetallists as currency faddists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bimetallism Bondage or Blood: The Money Question Made Plain Before proceeding to discuss the question of Bimetallism, which the_writer prefers to call United Metallism, he desires to say that, while his position on this question is not by any means in accord with that of the present democratic admin istration, yet it is not his purpose to criticise the motives of Mr. Cleveland in taking the stand he has relative thereto. The writer's four years' personal and official acquaintance with Mr. Cleveland, extending from May, 188 5, to March, 1889, covering his term of office as United States assistant attorney-general, convinced him that, how ever wrong in his views Mr. Cleveland might sometimes be, those views were honestly formed and honorably maintained. Grievously wrong as he seems to be on the silver question, unlike some of his present followers, he has at least been consistent in that wrong.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bimetallism One might as well tell a physiologist that his science is false because no man ever existed whose organs were all perfectly normal in their functions, as to contradict an economist because no man ever acted from purely economic motives. Indeed the absurdity is far greater in the latter case, since the economist deals with societies, not individuals so that not only is the ih ference unfounded, but the fact alleged is untrue of societies. One might as well object against a physiologist, when he states physiological laws, that moral forces (or, rather, more or less immoral forces, for that is what we mean) affect the bodily func tions, as to interpose the objection against economic laws that immoral forces affect economic phenomena. The fact in both cases is undeniable the inference - that these external interfer ences alter natural forces and laws, and therefore ought to be taken into account in the statement of scientific principles - is equally unfounded in both. One might as well tell a physiolo gist that a knife thrust into an organ alters physiological forces and laws, as to tell an economist that legislation controls the laws of value. It is because the physiological laws are not altered that the victim dies. The hygiene, pathology, and therapeutics of society are mixed with its physiology in our text-books, but the scientific distinctions must be maintained intact if we would reason correctly. Value belongs to the physiology of society, legislation almost always to its pathology. Legislation creates the conditions of disease, leads to distorted organs, disordered functions, deceptive phenomena 4 below), and taxes the saga city and clear-headedness of the student to find again the normal forces in their distorted action; but we have to guard ourselves well against the delusion that it changes forces or laws. To adopt that delusion is to lose perception of the difference be tween social health and social disease. We are struggling here for the introduction into political economy of universal canons of science which are recognized in all other departments which enjoy authority and are making real progress.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bimetallism: A Tract for the Times Let us consider these three questions in the order in which they are stated. I. Is bimetallism desirable, and this in a high degree? I say in a high degree, because it is admitted that for no trivial or transient advantage would it be worth while to set up such a system: What, then, are the advantages which the bimetallist looks to that system to afford? What are the benefits which he expects it to confer upon production and trade? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Bimetallism and the Battle of the Standard It is Of course understood that among economic writers this contrast of methods exists only in widely varying degrees, and often is reduced to a mere divergence Of tendency. Still, if it were necessary to cite representatives Of the two schools, I should name Ricardo and de Tracy for the deductive, Roscher and Adolf Wagner for the historical school. Other writers, as Adam Smith for example, make use of both methods, sometimes one, sometimes the other. SO far as money is concerned, the theories of these two schools are clearly contrasted. The historical school says: Nature has granted to two metals the qualities necessary for money. No manual of poli tical economy, in enumerating the peculiar properties which have induced men to adopt gold and silver as money, makes any distinction between these two pre cions metals. History teaches us that, in spite of very imperfect monetary legislation, they have always been simultaneously used by civilized nations. If we seek abruptly to alter a situation which is the result of the gradual evolution of ages, we inflict profound and disastrous perturbation upon society. Let us then consecrate by legislation this natural and his torical fact, in establishing a bimetallic money.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Bimetallism BY invitation of the President and Fellows of Har vard University, I delivered a course of lectures on Bimetallism in that institution during the academic term now drawing to a close. Of those lectures this book is the public outcome. The material thus brought together is now published, the lecture form being aban doned, while the order of topics and the style of treat ment are preserved. I am much indebted to Prof. Willard Fisher, of Wesleyan University, and to Pres ident Andrews, of Brown University, for their gener ous assistance. Prof. Fisher has kindly read, not only the manuscript, but the proofs of this work. While he cannot, under the conditions of a hurried revision and publication, be held responsible for any errors which may still remain, I gladly acknowledge many valuable suggestions and corrections from his pen. While I began to write on money for the newspapers as early as 1858, my published works on the subject began with the issue of my large treatise in 1878. The year following I delivered a course of lectures in the Lowell Institute, of Boston, which were brought out in book form under the title Money, Trade, and Industry. I do not know that I have had occasion to change a single one of the opinions expressed in those volumes. The subject seems to me, as it has always seemed, a perfectly simple one if prejudice and passion are not allowed to obscure it.
