Credit and Depressions

Many people do not understand how insuffi-
cheney of the supply of credit can account for
depressions. This is mainly because they con-
fuse money for credit In times of credit
stringency such people vociferously demand the
issuance of more money.
Money, however, is not credit. Credit is the
things that money will buy; the things that the
owners are willing to part with for money.
If two bushels of potatoes represent plenty
and there are two dollars of money to be allotted
to buying potatoes, they will sell for dollar
bushel If one bushel of potatoes represents
scarcity, it will sell for two dollars bushel If
two people are buying potatoes in the first case,
each got bushel, and in the second each got a
half bushel, for dollar.
In the second case, one of the two people
might borrow the others dollar and so be able to
buy the whole bushel. In this case money ap-
parently is credit. Actually, however, the one
loaned the other the half bushel he could have
bought, money simply being the medium of credit
and potatoes the actual form of credit
If these purchasers had been infationists
they would have demanded that more money be
printed. If the demand had been acceded to and
two more dollars were issued, making four alto
gether, the owner of the potatoes would have
demanded four dollars instead of two for the
bushel. Inflated money, in this case would
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-04-28

manifestly be worth only fifty cents on the
dollar.
This discussion has had to do so far with a
case of natural scarcity of one form of credit
Credit, that is, goods raw materials etc., can
be artificially rendered scarce. This is done In
two ways; through monopolistic speculation and
by public spending jag.
In either of these two cases, prices of some
things get too high in relation to prices of other
things. There are not enough of the lower
priced articles to exchange for the higher priced
either by the actual owners or by borrowers.
The penalty for this unbalanced condition is the
exhaustion of purchasing power for the high
priced things and a fall in their prices.
This unsettles all industry, disturbs the
people psychologically, for they will not buy on
a falling market, and results in curtailing pro-
duction Industry does not reawaken to activity
until prices have been re-established on basis
of approximate fair relationship, and the people,
getting over their obsession that the end of the
industrial world is at hand, begin to buy again.
The remedy is largely an individual matter
It is up to each one in his business in his job
to use common sense in spending and saving
Extravagant business and personal expenditures
boost prices through increasing demand.
These alternate periods of prosperity and de-
preston have been noted for many centuries
Pliny Roman writer, mentions depression
nearly two thousand years ago. This only goes
to show that human nature remains very much
the same and consequently is still reaping the
same penalties it always has invited by what it
has sowed.
Wise people protect themselves by saving a
large part of their bigger earnings during pros
porous times to see them through the inevitable
depression that will follow. Many people get
their start to wealth by bargains that always
are available during depression for those who
have the money to buy. But they had to have
the strength of character to save first, when
others were supinely following the easiest way
! and were spending.
