G. D. Boom wrote the following
letter to the minneapolis Journal
recently. The Journal published it
and failed to note the sarcasm there
in, attacking the letter editoriaNy,
but saying nothing about the Phila-
delphia Press.
To the Editor OF The Journal.
1t is iDteres ting to note the remarks
OF the Philadelphia Press, as quoted in
the Journ al OF the 26th, relatiAe to
gold pl oduction in the tifties and their
effect on business.
The Press tells US that '"their mines''
california and Australia) "added about
$1,4O0, 100000 in ten years to the
worlds gold" and adds, all know what
that did. Prices arose with a bound.
Trade increased with q rush. Real
estate rose i'll value in every civilized
land. Wages increased as never before.
'The world has never seen in the last
century sDch another boom decade as
1850 to 1860"
Taking the report OF the director OF the
mint for text, Press assumes that the
gold production will from 1897 10 1902
be ~ per cent greater than from 1850
to 1860, and argues that as the increase
in the worlds money in from 1850 to
1850 ma de greater prosperity than ever
before so we can expect like condition
under like circumstances.
sincerely hope the Press is prophet.
But OIL how the Press demoishes all the
pet theor ries OF itself and every gold
standard advocate. How often we we've
told that we already had plenty uf gold
for all the requi1 1ements OF business.
Now. | read farther from the Pre- ss: it's
good authority: THAT increase in gold
came after shrinkage in supply; 90
does this,' What, not enough gold?
The Press is surely mistaken. But now
comes this remarkable statement mo
one expected that. no one expected this. -
Where, on where, was Marcus Aurelius?
Where was Grover, Whitney, Croker and
Palmer? Has the Press no fear of the
future, when it prints such rank heresv?
How fortunate for the gold standard
soldiers OF fortune that new mines were
discovered and Dame Nature tempora-
riIy came to their relief.
How eagerly they seize upon this 80
per cent possible increase over the Sos,
How absurd is the theory that 33 or
even 80 per cent increase in gold over
the oOs will even approximate the in
crease in the volume OF business as done
iu the Cos compared to that done in the
Sos.
We certainly congratulate the Journal
that it prints over Jerry Us owD sigma
ture the confession that but for IAN un-
expected discovery OF new gold MINES,
which is but temp orary relief at beat,
the gold standard advocates would
have been in an extremely embarrassing
position. The logic OF the Press is un-
answeDable. j. e.. that it is absolutely
necessary for the welfare of the country
that more standard money should be
had. 1t also shows conclusively that
even the" unexpected'' increase in gold,
following "a shrinkage in SUI pply," will
not be sufficient for our needs. The
Jonrna' will get on the right side of the
money question after awhile lit profits
by the lesson as taught in the Press ar
ticle. CD Roo,t
