Excerpt from Gold and Prices Since 1873 Frewen, Nineteenth Century, October, 1885, p. 595, carries the error still further by claiming that prices change with the production of gold. One can not weigu much weight to Mr. Frewen, when he declares that capital is spent rather than accumulated in the United States, because of the heavy taxation 1 (p. Dr. Soetbeer, Materialien, p. 81, reminds us that both Huskisson and Jacob attributed the depression which prevailed in Europe after 1815 to a scarcity of the precious metals. He also mentions an interesting book by J. Helferich, published in 1843, which combated the Quantitats-theorie, and explained that credit can separate the function of a medium of exchange from that of a measure of value, and can serve as the former without affecting the latter. Most German bimetallists (excepting Dr. Arendt) agree with Messrs. Gifien and Goschen in attributing the fall in prices and the depression of trade to the scarcity of gold. But, on the other hand, Bourne, Journal of Statistical Society, June, 1879, p. 417, who denies the scarcity of gold, claims, with Mul hall, that the quantity of gold has no relation to prices.

Excerpt from Gold and Prices The articles now reprinted were originally written at the request of the Editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, and appeared in its issues for March 21, 22, 25, 26, 28 and 29, 1912. By the kind permis sion of that journal, they are here put together in a more convenient shape. A preliminary popular survey of the subject had been previously taken by me in a series of articles in the Evening N ews in October, 1910. These were subsequently translated into German and Swedish and they were reprinted in pamphlet form in January of this year, by the Evening News, under the title The Rise in Prices and the Cost of Living.
