adjustment proves painful to all who depend
on prices. If the people Of tue United states
can get good price for their spare products
on condition of taking silver in payment ac-
cording to this view they ought to accept 1t.
A currency out of harmony with that OF Europe
has no inconvenience to which Americans are
not accustomed, and whatever disadvantages
may at the outset attend the adoption OF sii-
yer are certain to disappear as soon as the East
exhausts the surplus of the West, and sooner
yet if France returns to silver money.
The letter deserves fair consideration, al
though its conclusions respecting the supply
and the value of silver seem to be based IN
part upon mistaken premises. Its radical error
is in presuming. as so many writer's nave DONE
that prices throughout the Western World are
controlled by the amount of gold and silver
in circulation. This may be true, but 1t ls not
yet proved, and there are many facts which
tend to disprove it. The supply of credit cur
rency, for example, has enormously increased
within few years, and seems capable OF in
definite expansion. II is not shown that such
substitutes for money do not have an effect
upon prices; indeed, the ablest economists
concede that they have. How great an effect,
it is hard to say. But the paper currency
brought into use, and the employment of Gov
ernment bonds to a vast amount in place OF
money in international transactions, have un-
questionably altered very greatly the eondi-
tions of dependence Of prices upon the guam
tity of gold and silver in use. 1t is emphatl-
cally not proven that reduction In the amount
of coin in use necessarily causes decline OF
prices, and there are very satisfactory expla-
nations of the decline of prices in the Western
World, apart from any change in the quantity
of coin in use. As Mr.. Wells pointed out,
more than year ago, the enormous increase
of labor-saving machinery has had an impor-
tant effect.
1t does not appear, therefore, that the West
em World will have any occasion to get back
any part of the silver absorbed by the East.
In place of coin shipped eastward, large In
crease of paper or credit currency may appear,
without any such change in prices as to draw
back the silver from the East, or materially
affect the prices of Western or Eastern pro-
ducts. Neither is it clear that " "Oyer-importa-
"tonD in England is an evidence of exhaustion
of national resources. In commenting upon the
recent letter of Mr.. RathbOne, The Economist
properly remarked that its speculations were
rather fanciful, aud afforded no solid basis for
definite conclusions as to the increase or de-
crease of wealth.
There is really nothing to prove that the
of silver has materially affected
prices or prosperity in the Western countries.
This idea may be honestly and nationally en-
tertained, but it does not rest upon demon
stration, and it may be true or false. Until II
can be sustained by proof, the argument OF
"T. W." for reconciliation of silver must be
considered inconclusive. He may be right but
IL is not proven MeanBhile the objections to
a variable double standard have yet TO be met.
