Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honest Money IN an article in the American Journal of Politics for July, 1893, I gave a brief state ment of the conclusions I had reached in an attempt to analyze the requirements of a perfect money. The limits of a magazine article prevented a full discussion of the subject; many points were left untouched, and all quotations from the works of other writers, in support of the brief arguments given, were of necessity omitted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cold-Storage Baby: A Lawyer's Text-Book on Honest Money and Irredeemable Paper Currency The material for the book was collected during the past three years, and the Book was ready for the printer when the present Panic started. The publication has been delayed to await the Intro duction, which reviews the present panic, its causes, and the remedies proposed. The author claims no gift of prophecy when he says that, in his book, he predicted the present panic; nor does he hesitate to state that Elastic Currency, if adopted, will be followed by a bankers' carnival and a people's panic at a much shorter interval of time than that between the present panic and its great predecessor of 1893.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Easy Money: Being the Experiences of a Reformed Gambler I shall endeavor in these writings concerning gambling and gamblers to follow the injunction which the Spartan father gave to his son - to "shoot straight and speak the truth." I am now forty years of age. During twenty-one of those years I have been connected with gamblers; at first as their victim, and afterwards'as their confederate. Bret Harte doped our literature with Mother Shipton and John Oakhurst, but his deified sport is as much the offspring of pure fiction as his sanctified strumpet. I assert, without fear of successful contradiction from those who know, that not one professional gambler in a thousand is at all times absolutely square. He will occasionally, if not always, throw loaded dice, deal from the bottom of the pack, introduce marked cards, extract aces from his sleeve, pull cards from a faro box with a "snake" in it, whirl the ball around an advantage wheel, and control the outcome of a race by doping horses and bribing jockeys. I have been, as a professional gambler, not as bad as the worst of them, but probably as good as the best of them.

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 Money in Its Relations to Trade and Industry Classic Reprint written by Francis Amasa Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Money in Its Relations to Trade and Industry I have seen no reason to modify at any essential point the views of the nature and uses of money which were set forth in that work, and I have not thought it necessary to alter modes of expression merely to avoid the appearance of identity between corresponding portions of the two books. Not only the general progress of Opinion, but the course of public events during the past two years, will serve to explain the greater emphasis which is here laid upon the question of Bimetallism, and the introduction of the political aspects of the subject, from which, in the former publication, I deemed myself precluded. In dealing with the question of Inconvertible Paper Money, it has been sought to trace out the ground upon which economists may take and maintain a stand against Government issues. Doubtless it will appear to many that too much ground has been surrendered to the advocates of fiat-money; but I am satisfied that no more can be held by the friends of honest money, who are bound also to be the friends of honest argument. The claim that greenbacks are not money in the fullest sense of that term; that they cannot do all in the way of measuring values, so called, which gold or silver may do, is untenable, and it can be of no advantage to any really sound cause to seek to maintain it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of Money, the Instrument of Association: A Lecture Delivered at the Wharton School of Finance, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, April 14, 1890 HE letters herewith presented to the public have appeared in the Phila deéfl/u'a Inquirer from time to time, within the past three months. They were written and are now republished under a grave sense of the danger to which the people of the United States are exposed from the organized raid of the national banks and other dealers in money and credits, and their pliant tools in and out of Congress, upon the Silver Dollar, the original standard of payment of the United States of America, and the most thoroughly honest money, so far as both debtor and creditor are concerned, in which a debt can be paid. Let other nations do what they may with silver, gold or paper, we are a great enough one to legislate upon this subject for ourselves, just as we do in regard to tariffs, and our other internal and external affairs. After a carnival of ruin, because of contraction, between 187 3 and 1878, such as has never been exceeded in the world's history, engineered by the dealers in money and credits, and the holders of evidences of debt expressed in the money of account, on the ground that we should have a metallic the people in the passage of the bill of February 28, 1878, for the recoinage of the Silver Dollar, and that of May 31, i878, prohibiting the retirement of greenbacks, at last arrested the forward movement of these forces of destruction. But ever on the alert to spoil the Egyptians the enemy is no better satisfied with the metallic basis which he now has in the Silver Dollar, than he was with the greenback, which had it not. Let no man now on any pretext whatsoever be allowed, in the interest of the holders of money and credits, to inaugurate for this generation a new era of spoliation by laying his unholy hands upon this dollar - at once a badge and a token of a great popular triumph. If he attempts it and he be in public life, let him be driven therefrom as an enemy of his country, and of mankind.
