Worst EriIs

In the third place, we have learned
from our history that the worst evils
of imitation are often of a subtle char
acter. During the period Of rapidly
rising prices we have all the appear
ances Of phenomenal prosperity. Not
only, however, is this prosperity IL
lusory, but it creates it's own nemesis
in the inevitable reaction that is sure
to ensue.
The prosperity, we have said is IL
lusory. With the rapid rise of prices,
those who have no commodities to dis
pose of suffer severely. The creditor
is in an unhappy position and the re-
clplents OF fixed incomes are compelled
to resort to all manner of unworthy
eNpedients in order to make both ends
meet. The continual fluctuations of
price introduce an uncertainty in busi-
ness which is only temporarily masked
by the advance. The opportunities of
sellers market irresistibly lead to
profiteering and it's attendant evils
The sudden increase of the paper in
and public prodigalty. The extrava-
giant rise of wages, even though it lags
behind. the general rise of prices,
coupled with the unceasing demand for
labor, engenders decentralization
which soon returns to plague the in
dustry. The habits Of thrift, pain
fully built up during lifetime, are
abruptly discarded. The Kaleidoscope
mutations of paper fortunes, amassed
almost over night, beget spirit of
speculation an dof peculation. The
fevcrish activity of the market de-
stroys the habits of orderliness and
sobriety, an dthe brilliant prospects of
suddenly acquired wealth create in the
public a delirium of improvidence and
the sense of living in veritable
golden age.
The day of reckoning, however, soon
follows. When the wave rises to q
crest, it breaks with an overwhelming
force; when the fever subsidies, the
resulting weakness is intense. AS the
paper finally loses it's value, fortunes
are now sudednly wiped out, and many
Of the supposedly wealthy find them
selves beggared. With the collapse of
demand, unstable stocks deplete the
business inventory and failures are the
order of the day. Those who have
habituated themselves to an extrava-
CANT mode of life are faced with the
grim necessity of immediate retrench-
ment The laborer resists to the ut
termost any lowering of his wages,

The inference from these considera-
tions is that fiscal progress now every
where imperiously demands re-es-
tablishment of the budgetry equil-
brium. Unless every country is willing
or able to provide revenue from taxa
tion which will suffice rot only for it's
ordinary expenditure but also for the
interest and am ortization of its pub
lie debt, we muest expect to see a
further increase of the public debt, a
renewed emission Of irredeemable OF
inconvertible paper, and a consequent
ri In the second e's place, ia,as''ca' our survey
brings out plainly that the issue of in
convertible or irredeemable paper
money always ends in depreciation. 1t
is true, as was pointed out in the in
PRODUCTION, that distinction must be
drawn between a general rise of prices
and that particular rise Of prices i'm
plicit in the term depreciation. But
it is none the less true, as our his
torical sketch has shown, that the lat
ter helps to influence the former, and
that the depreciation caused by the un-
due resort TO paper money is no in
considerable explanation of the exag-
gerated rise in prices that we call in
flation. Moreover, it must be remem-
bered that under modern conditions of
international trade, initiation registers
itself primarily in the rate of foreign
exchange and that these Fluctuations
OF foreign exchange cause perturba-
| tions and embarrassments from which
the whole economic life of the country
