"Kocus Pocus Money"

Believers in the quantitative theory
of money--those of them who be-
lieved in the general proposition, but
have not dug much beneath the sur
face-have been puzzled to explain,
for example, what caused the panic
of 1893. Or, more specifically, what
caused the enormous decline in prices
lin the general price level-when 1t
was well known that not a dollar OF
coin Except an insignificant amount
lost in various Ways had gone out OF
existence. There was just as much
coined money as before; in fact, more
than before.
If the value of money depends not
upon the material substance upon
which it is stamped or printed, but
depends like the value OF other USE
full articles upon the supply OF and
demand for it--how then could the
value of money rise and price level
fall in 1893? The supply OF coined
money had not diminished. The need
for it, the desire for it, was not eS-
sentially greater; and, if we define
demand" as desire coupled with abil-
ity to crafty it, the demand for mon
ey was certainly less than before
Why, then, should the value of money
rise enormously in 1893 and 1884
this being shown in the lowered
prices of everything else?
The explanation is that although not
a dollar of actual coin, except the
neglible quantity destroyed by tire or
lost in various ways, passed out OF
existence, yet millions and millions OF
intangible dollars" in the form OF
deposits" or bank credits" did cease
to exist; that these intangible, unreal,
bank-ledger dollars, SO long as the
bank continued solvent. were as po-
tent in affecting the price level as If
coined upon gold; but instantly, when
the bank closed its doors, their power
ceased and the effect was exactly the
same as the humiliation of SO many
coined dollars.
A good many populists have under
stood this for some time. but II was
left for Albert Griffin of Topeka,
Kas., to WORK out the whole matter in
detail and put 1t in language which
will readily be understood by the
masses. Alexander Del Mar. In his
Science of Money" has given the
matter attention. considering all the
various credit devices as instruments
for increasing the velocity of money
in circulation-and his book should
be read carefully by every person who
expects to make public speeches upon
the money question.
