\There is scarcely an article that
can be named that has not declined
in about the same ratio. And real eS-
tate has suffered the same depression
in price. These prices did not all
come down at once but gradually
from year to year. Now since all
real values appear to bear practically
the same relative value to each other
that they formerly did, what is the
inevitable conclusion? Nothing more
nor less than that gold, by which the
value is measured, has appreciated.
1t takes more of any of the real val
ueS of earth mo matter in what form
they may be I'M to purchase a gold
dollar.
The value of gold was increased by
increasing its use as money at the
same time that its production fell off.
In 1873 neither the United States,
nor Germany, nor Italy, nor Holland,
nor Norway, nor Denmark and Swe-
den used gold, but after silver was
demonetized, all these countries, con-
tanning a population of 15O,OOO,OOO of
people, adopted the gold standard and
went to using gold, and in ten years
these seven states took 100000, DOC
of gold, so that the gold money then
in use was divided up among more
than twice as many people as used
gold in 1873, while the production OF
gold fell off from maximum of sl55,,
100000 in 1853 to slO5, 100000 in 1890
