arc those prepared by Professor Irving
Fisher and published in August. 1896,
by the American Economic association.
These show only market or bank rates
Of interest in London, Berlin. Paris,
Kew York. Calcutta, Tokyo and Shang-
hal for u series of years, and Of course
these are far below the average rates.
Professor Fisher finds that the average
bank rate of interest from 1875 to 1879
was 8. per cent In the four gold stand
ard countries and 10. per cent In the
three silver standard countries. In sill
Yer standard countries the rate had fallen
but little, the average for 1904 being
lO1 por cent. In gold standard coun-
tries tho ratio had fallen over 30 per
cent. or from o. 2 in 1904 These facts
tend to show that there is some good
reason why interest is lower in gold
standard countries They are ~Ssfrmed
by the further facts that many large
loans and some small ones made in sill
yer standard countries are made pay
able in gold and at rates of interest far
below those prevailing. Ono Of the al
legged reasons why Japan has changed
from silver 10 gold basis is TO obtain
lower rates of interest ON loans which
she wished TO negotiate.
There is moro in this subject of cheap
money than some silveritos dream of.
The best money is. in fact, the cheapest.
II the borrower thinks otherwise. let
him have his cheap money and pay the
increased rates Of interest charged for il.
