nection between money and currency,
they perform the same Offices only in
part, and also that the volume of money
ut bottom is the balance wheel of the
whole, and limits and controls operations,
I'm sense in which currency proper does
not operate. j also enables us to recognize
more clearly that the existing volume Of
money must be in great degree the mea-
sure Of transactions, and in this way limits
or expands prices. 1t certainly would be
impossible to adjust and pay balances
where money was lacking to do it. The
settlements Of Lombard street could not
be made in a village.
We must see that very small deficiency
on the money side would Mt once have its
effect, which no abundance Of currency, as
we define it, could repair. II is the money
ut bottom that regulates and controls
while the machinery of traffic, the currcn-
cy, is only the impellng power. We com
mend this distinction to the consideration
Of our critic.
in regard to what he says Of the rise Of
prices not Immediately following the dis
covery of the South American aud Mcxi-
can mines, he will find 10y pursuing his in-
vestigntions that what we said about that
was strictly true, namely, that prices
very soon rose flvc-fold, especially in Eng
land. With so plain n cause and SO plain
an effect, it seems absurd TO try to separate
them.
But all this ought 10 be supcrfluous ar
Eumentation. our history, and every
body history, shows ut every step, and
every stage. that the rule is that plenty Of
money makes high prices. The doctrine Is
in fact, automatic among sound currency
men, that the volume OF money affects
price When Sir RoBERT PEEL cnuuciatcd
the proposition in Parliament that "if
you deprcciatc the value of your currency
tby Increasing the volumcl the prices Of
all articles of subsistence will speedily fol-
low the change" nobody disscntcd, for IL
was held to be truism. That it should
be denied In the face Of the palpa-
bic fact staring upon us from every
side that prices are inflated to the extent
Of the premium on gold III every market
In this country, is simply amazing. All
the lodges that can be practised do not
relieve the ahsurdity Of the denial. II Is
not II case which can be referred TO def
cheney of credit. Our lcgal-tcuder money
is based on the public credit, aud every
body believes it TO be good. W. all know
that uudernuy redemption system it would
shortly rise TO par with gold The only
difficulty in the ease Is that it is in excess.
and that excess is measured by the pre-
MUM on coin.
