Here there was a decline OF 20 per cent in the
price of every article except one. and in that
an advance of only per cent. and yet because of
tie large price OF tho quantity usually quoted.
relatively small advance the price of iron alone
browns out OF sight the greater decline in all other
quotations. The result Of the comparison after the
old method Is that one finds general advance of
more than 2 per cont, although in fact prices had
fallen severely.
TO avoid this error English economists. who saw
that the old method rendered comparisons abso-
lutely valuelcss, devised an improved method.
First employed by Tookc and Newmarch in the His
tory of Prices published in 1857 and since used by
Professor Newmarch, in The Statistical Journal, by
ISe London EcOn0nis III its comparisons 20 this day,
and by Professor Jcyons in his able pamphlet on
the Effects OF the New Gold" this method consists
in reckoning and adding not the actual prices of
different commodities. but the percentages of their
prices at one date 10 those at other date. This
overcOInes entirely the difficulty arising from the
relative magnitude Of ordinary quotations. Thus,
in the example above the ten prices the first date
would DO reckoncd 100 each, and nine Of tho
second date would be rockoned so each, while
the truth would be 105. so that tho aggregate
would be 200 for tho first date against S25 for the
second, "A decline of l7l2 per cent.
But now suppose that instead of prices Of ton of
iron, the actual prices of pound of tobacco IN
1860 and in 1864 were quoted, namely, 8 and 26
cents The total cost OF the ten articles would then
be 81 - for the first date, and 81 ~ for the
second n fall of nearly Is per cent. and yet by the
TOoke-Nowmarch method there would result an
apparent advance in prices. Thus, nine quotations
for the second date would he reckoncd at 80 each
az before but tobacco would be $50 for the second
date if 100 at the first, that the result would

IL is not only clear from this comparison that the
prices of 1855 have been the lowest IN history
for twenty-five years, but that there has been
general tendency toward lower prices From 1868
until 1877, and again from 1879 until 1879 and
again from 1882 until 1888, prices fell quite stead
fy Indeed had not the short crop of 1881 caused
a temporary advance in the spring of 1882, the
range Of January, 1850, would have been the high
est Of the later period, and 1t might have been said
that the present Of declining prices had cOntin-
nod with little inteImisson for years. None
will fail to observe how swift and sharp the adj
vances have been-about II per cent from Novem-
Der, 1871, to May, 1872 and 25i2 per cent from
October 1878. to January, 1880. But these spas
modic advances. by which the general tendency
downward is interrupted, only serve to make it
more clear that prices have been tending irresist-
IDLY toward lower level than that Of 1860. not
only during the period of paper depreciation, but
since gold has been the measure of value
Sufficient reason for some change in that direc-
ton will be found in the cheapening Of transpora
ton within the past quarter of century, and
especially within the past ten years. IN the i'm
provements in modes OF production; In the use of
more effective machinery; in the accumulation and
application of o larger capital, and reduction in
the rate of interest The extent of the change in
price that is due to lower charges for trnnsporta-
ton by water as well as by land, and In nearly all
parts of the world, does not seem to have been
fully appreciated by students Tbf economic
problems. Great changes in price can BIO traced
