Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gold Supply and Prosperity These are only suggestions of some of the dynamic possibilities to industry, politics and society that may lie hidden in a depreciating standard of value. The effects that more directly concern us and that are both more certain and easier of solution are those upon prices and interest rates and, through these, upon investments and incomes. It is with these effects that our contributors have mainly dealt and because of them that this book is published. These are the important effects that now confront investors and all men of affairs.

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.

Download or read book Our Gold Supply written by Thomas Cornish and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Gold Supply: Its Effects on Finance, Trade, Commerce and Industries The question Of Our Gold Supply is one that does not, I think, require any apology for its introduction. To all sections of the civilized world it is a matter of paramount importance. As the supply of gold can only be maintained or increased but from one source, that is, gold mining; the remarks I have made, being the result of careful consideration of the subject and a long practical experience of gold mining on some Of the chief gold fields Of the world, will, I trust, be the means Of creating a little more interest in the development Of an industry which SO materially affects Finance, Trade, Commerce and Industries. The marvellous advancement of the world's progress in one generation will for ever mark a most important epoch of history - for never again is it likely that any great discoveries of gold will create the wide-spread thrill Of excitement and that spirit Of adventure which were created by the gold discoveries in California and Australia. The magic words Gold l Gold! Were heard on every Side, and Off for the Gold Diggings became at once the hope and determination of many thousands of the most enterprizing young men of the day, who soon congregated on the world famed Eldorados. The word Eureka was echoed from hills and valleys where the rich deposits of the precious metal had been found. The discoveries Of gold gave a vast stimulus to Finance, Trade, Commerce and Industries in England. Vessels were freighted from every port with merchandise and passengers to the land of gold - the gold fever permeated all ranks and classes of society, and as vessels returned from the Shores of California and Australia, freighted with large quantities of gold and wealth-laden adventurers, the rage for emigration was kept up, and a stream of living humanity was poured in upon the golden Shores of countries destined to be populated by millions, where had previously reigned almost Silent solitude. The wonderful changes that I have witnessed in the features of countries, converted, as by a magician's wand, from dreary, open dry plains, the solitude of sweet-scented fertile valleys, or the stillness of densely-timbered forests, into thriving cities, towns and settlements through the all-powerful influence of gold, have induced me to give some attention to the subject, and In, what I am aware is but an imperfect way, to endeavour to draw public interest to the question of Our Gold Supply and Its effects on Finance, Trade, Commerce and Industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Gold This book is an attempt to present the development of the modern gold mining industry, with especial reference to the connection between its development and the ebb and flow of business prosperity. The connection between the gold supply and prosperity is now thoroughly understood. Without a supply of gold, increasing at a rate corresponding to the volume of business transactions, prices must decline, and the scale of business operations must be curtailed. On the other hand, if the gold mines furnish an adequate supply of reserve money, which serves as a foundation for the immense edifice of credit and token money, prices tend upward, and prosperity endures and increases.

It was through the produce thus obtained, that the nations on both shores of the Medi terranean Archipelago obtained that large supply of the precious metals, which had so great an influence on their advancing civilisation. It is true that individual adventurers were ever ready to engage in enterprises which promised wealth, and although the voyage of the Argonauts engaged the best blood of Hellas, yet neither gold robbing nor gold working enriched the nations of the west. At a later historical period, military expeditions brought large supplies of the precious metals into Europe, but there is no marked epoch of prosperity which can be assigned to their influence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Honest Dollar: The Basis of Prosperity 1. Present Importance of the Subject. - The diametrical opposition of the platforms adopted by the two great political parties of the United States at their recent conventions, upon the question of the national currency, places the monetary issue in the front line of battle for the presidential election of 1896. The American people are once more called before the judgment-seat of history, as they were in 1861. Those who understand the character of American citizens believe that nothing is necessary beyond a clear and truthful presentation of the facts and principles involved in this controversy, in order to secure a just and honorable settlement of the question, But it is evident that adequate comprehension of the momentous issues involved in the inflation of the national currency, and especially in a sudden change of the standard of value, is not to be acquired without serious and patient investigation on the part of every citizen. It is, therefore, of the highest importance that the essential elements of this great problem be so presented to the public mind that every man of intelligence and ordinary knowledge of arithmetic may form his own conclusions regarding the justice and expediency of the propositions put forward by the party platforms. The present sketch is intended to supply a brief and intelligible statement of the whole question at issue between the parties, without partisan bias, and with absolute fidelity to the facts. 2. The Nature and Uses of Money. - The exchange of commodities is essential to the existence of civilized life. Division of labor gives to all the great advantage of profiting by the special skill and facilities of each. In a civilized state of society, almost all the products of every creator of value are offered for exchange. When they are exchanged directly against each other, as wheat for cloth, the exchange is called barter. When the exchange is effected by the medium of some common measure of value, as gold or silver, it is called a sale and the amount of the medium agreed upon is called the price. Such a common measure of value is called money. It is evident that a medium of exchange would not be accepted unless it had some definite relation to a standard of value. Price is, therefore, partly a question of arithmetic, which determines how many times a unit of value is to be taken in order to be an equivalent medium of exchange; but it is primarily a question of value, that is, it has relation to some object of desire. Whatever this object of desire may be, in order to be a good medium of exchange it must be (1) Measurable, so as to be capable of arithmetical treatment;(2) Divisible, so as to be separable into arithmetical parts and again united in multiples of those parts;(3) Homogenises, so as to be always the same thing, without variation in quality from time to time; (4)Portable, so that it can be removed from place to place, and thus really serve as a medium of exchange;(5) Durable, so that it will not easily perish during possession; (6)Stable in value, so that it will have the same purchasing power when it is paid as when it is promised; and(7) Recognizable so that it can always be known and its value readily ascertained by sight. In practice we have two kinds of mediums of exchange, both of which are called money, but which need to be clearly distinguished. Real Money is always a commodity of some kind.

Download or read book Gold and Prices Since 1873 Classic Reprint written by James Laurence Laughlin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 62 pages. 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.
