		<description><![CDATA[LETTER OF SUBMITTAL to The President : I have the honor to submit herewith the final report of the Commission on International Exchange, constituted under the authority of the act of March 3, 1903, and continued last year by means of a special appropriation. The chief purpose of the Commission was to bring about, as far as possible, a fixed relationship between the moneys of the gold-standard countries and the silver-using countries. This result could be accomplished chiefly by the establishment in the silver-using countries of new monetary systems on the gold exchange basis, the &#8216;new silver and copper coins in those countries being given a fixed value in terms of gold. The work of the Commission, considering the difficulties of its task, has been on the whole very successful. The new monetary system in the Philippine Islands, established under act of Congress approved March 2, 1903, which in the main has furnished the model for the further work of the Commission, was in operation, but serious difficulties were met with in the transition from the old currency to the new. A member of the Commission was sent to study the situation and counsel with the Philippine Commission regarding these [...]

		<description><![CDATA[THE ORIGIN AND PROGRESS OF BANKING. An eminent historian observes, that &#8221; it is a cruel mortification, in searching for what is instructive in the history of past times, to find that the exploits of conquerors who have desolated the earth, and the freaks of tyrants who have rendered nations unhappy, are recorded with minute and often disgusting accuracy, while the discovery of useful arts, and the progress of the most beneficial branches of commerce are passed over in silence, and suffered to sink into oblivion.&#8221; * This remark is strictly applicable to the origin and progress of banking. We have but little information as to what kind of banks existed in the earlier ages, or on what system they conducted their business. As most of the nations of antiquity subsisted chiefly on agriculture, they probably had little occasion for banks ; for it is only in commercial countries that these institutions have attained to any high degree of prosperity. And as even the commercial nations of antiquity were unacquainted with joint-stock companies, or commercial corporations, and had not discovered the use of paper-money or bills of exchange, the business of a banker, even among them, must have been somewhat [...]

		<description><![CDATA[THE metals have so long performed the use of money, that money and coin are become almost synonymous, although in their principles they be quite different. The first thing therefore to be done in treating of money, is, to separate two ideas, which, by being blended .together, have very greatly contributed to throw a cloud upon the whole subject. Money, which I call of account, is no more than an arbitrary scale of equal parts, invented for measuring the respective value of things vendible. Money of account therefore, is quite a different thing from money-coin, and might exist, although there was no such thing as the world as any substance, which could become an adequate and proportional equivalent for every commodity.

		<description><![CDATA[PREFACE by the Author The object of the following pages is to explain, is a plain and familiar manner, what money, Banking, and currency, properly speaking, are ; and how it behoves us to deal with them at present in this country. I conceive that this object may be realized in a manner the most satisfactory, and that the information conveyed will be rendered valuable to the greatest number of persons, by giving an intelligible account, clear of all technical expressions, of the doctrines of the leading authorities upon the subject, the different systems propounded, and the results of the efforts that have been made to carry them into execution. A volume of this description, if correctly written in a readable style, most. I apprehended be acceptable to people of all ranks. The matters it relates to intimately concern all our great masses, agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial; they are not only of the highest importance in their bearings and effects, but they have a particular interest even as subjects of abstract inquiry. If to these considerations we add another, — namely, the ignorance so generally and so strangely prevailing amongst us upon the question of money, banking, and currency, enough, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[INTRODUCTION. There are times when a merchant will make almost any sacrifice to obtain ready money. He has entered into no rash speculations, and has only to meet the ordinary legitimate demands of his business, but in order to do so he is suddenly called upon to make a heavy and unexpected loss. To this he gladly submits, for he has been in terror lest no sacrifice could save him from bankruptcy and ruin. But how has this been brought about? Why has he doubted whether his banker would afford him the usual accommodation which when entering into his business engagements he had been relying upon? Or, take the case of a merchant who has a credit of 50,000 at his bankers. Why is he anxious ? The answer in both cases is that there is a run upon the banks and there is a scarcity of cash. Such a time, Mr. Goschen speaking at Leeds on the 28th January, and referring to the &#8221; Baring crisis,&#8221; told us we had &#8221; only escaped by the skin of our teeth.&#8221; He said &#8220;No fertile imagination could exaggerate the gravity of the crisis, and if I attempt to bring home to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[PREFACE THE literature on the subject of the present book is remarkably meagre. We look practically in vain for any book in any language treating of the highly-important and likewise interesting subject of the transfer of money from one nation to another. The fact is all the more astonishing, as Arbitrage is of the greatest importance to the commerce of the world see the paragraph &#8221; Introductory Remarks&#8221; and as international trade has developed so enormously through the ever-increasing facilities of communication between the most distant business centres. A few books on mercantile Arbitrage, published in Germany some thirty or forty years ago, are now antiquated, and therefore of little or no value. Goschen&#8217;s &#8220;Theory of Foreign Exchanges&#8221; (dated 1866) treats the subject from a philosophical point of view, but without entering into any practical details ; and two other books, the best known of their kind Tate&#8217;s &#8221; Modern Cambist,&#8221; and Haupt&#8217;s &#8221; Arbitrages et Parites &#8221; were last edited in 1893, and since then the following changes have taken place : (1) The currency of India, Russia, Japan, Austria-Hungary, Chile, and Costa Rica has been reformed. (2) The British dollar, and some foreign coins of a new type [...]

		<description><![CDATA[INTRODUCTION. POLITICAL ECONOMY is the science which treats of general or national wealth, general or aggregate as distinguished from individual, as the term Political implies. This science is directed chiefly against, or has reference to the errors of statesmen or legislators, as connected with trade or the industry of mankind ; and, however extensive, intricate, and perplexed in its details, is, like most other sciences, few in its general principles, and simple in result, coming uniformly to the conclusion, that all legislators can do for trade is to let it alone. Remove all monopolies, prohibitions, and restrictions, and its importance is at an end. This is its invariable and infallible termination. Were a person to write a hundred books on the subject, it has been observed, they would all come to this conclusion. It is, therefore, in a great measure a negative science, teaching little or nothing towards or in aid of the productive powers of man, but merely tending to instruct or counsel those intrusted with, or rather who assume, the superintendence of their affairs, not to counteract their endeavours. Yet it is not the less important on this account, if we consider the general and sweeping nature of [...]

		<description><![CDATA[INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY THE AUTHOR The attention of the people of the United States at the present time is drawn, with ever increasing interest, to the commercial and financial institutions of foreign countries. This is due, primarily, to the fact that the industrial growth of this country has brought her to the point when a foreign market seems a necessity. For more than a century her development has rested upon the cultivation of new lands for new crops. There has been a steady movement Westward in search of unclaimed soil for the growth of wheat and corn. This movement is now drawing to a close. The opportunity for agricultural expansion, under the old form of extensive farming, is past, and out of this fact there has sprung an increased interest, not merely in intensive farming, but in the development of manufactures without which intensive farming is not possible. This is the explanation of the new interest which the people of the United States are taking in manufactures and in a foreign market for the disposal of manufactured goods. There was a time when the attention of the American people was drawn to the institutions of foreign lands because of the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[PREFACE The idea expressed and the conclusions arrived at in this work, are the result of many years of careful thought and study, coupled with practical and varied experience of a very busy in connection with industrial, commercial, and financial affairs, both here and abroad. It is now nearly a quarter of a century, since I first called attention in my book entitled A Scientific Solution of the Money Question (published in 1894 by the Arena Co., Boston, U.S.A.) to the fraudulent character of the so-called &#8220;Gold Standard of Value,&#8221; and to the impossibility of any commodity functioning in its commodity city, as either a just measure or an honest expression of Exchange- values. I endeavoured at same time, to point out a method, by which an invariable monetary unit might be established and maintained : viz by definitely fixing the purchasing power of gold or of any other commodity in relation to wealth generally with reference to time and place, just as the unit of length is fixed by temperature and pressure, and the unit of altitude and atmospheric conditions. I showed how most of our financial authorities had confused themselves and their readers, by confounding money with the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[PREVIEW It is an essential part of the case of the silver men that the country is having “hard times.” The bolters from the Republican convention say, in their manifesto: “Discontent and distress prevail to an extent never before known in the history of the country.” This is an historical assertion. It is distinctly untrue. There is no such discontent and distress as there was in 1819, or in 1840, or in 1875, to say nothing of other periods. The writers did not know the facts of the history, and they made use of what is nowadays a mere figure of speech. People who want to say that a social phenomenon is big, and who do not know what has been before, say that it is unparalleled in history. There has been an advancing paralysis of enterprise and arrest of credit ever since the Sherman act of 1890 was passed. The bolters say that “No reason can be found for such an unhappy condition of things save in a vicious monetary system.” The reason for it has been that the cumulative effect of the silver legislation was steadily advancing to a crisis. The efforts by which the effects of that [...]
