Excerpt from Some Articles on the Depreciation of Silver and on Topics Connected With It
And these are the two main propositions which' I wish to establish.
If these are proved, the practical conclusion follows that it would be absurd to make any per manent changes in our Indian currency or taxa tion, while all the facts upon which such changes would be founded are changing so much and so rapidly. And though this conclusion does not need support, it is supported by our uncertainty as to the effect of the increased Home charges of our Indian Government - sometimes, for shortness, called the Indian tribute - which, in a way which I have tried to explain, complicates the whole subject.
The fertility of the new silver mines in America is not very elaborately examined in these articles, for even yet there are no sure data for us. But everything tends to show that the yield of these mines is likely to be far less than what was once thought, and the difficulty of Obtaining exact data is an additional reason for being very slow to make any changes founded on an hypothesis as to the future price of silver. As yet no one can prove that the permanent value Of silver - whether in relation to gold or in relation to commodities at large - will change so much' as to render any alterations necessary.

Excerpt from Some Articles on the Depreciation of Silver and on Topics Connected With It
I venture to bring together these articles on the recent Depreciation of Silver, and on the recent Exchanges with India, though I am well aware how incomplete a view they give of the complex subjects to which they relate, and how disagreeable to read a collection of such papers almost necessarily is. If I could, I would have rewritten the whole of them in a more systematic form. But I have no time or strength at my disposal for such a task, and I am obliged, therefore, to use this substitute. To elucidate some parts of the chain of reasoning, I have added the evidence which I gave on one or two points before Mr. Goschen's Committee on the Depreciation of Silver, last spring. But even so, there is much I should wish to say in addition, both in exposition and in defence of the opinions which I hold.
So far as the short experience which we have had goes, I think it confirms the view taken in these articles.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the sudden fall in the value of silver in the 1870s. The author was an influential editor who specialised in economics. Silver's devaluation caused financial problems for both the Indian government, who collected taxes in silver but had to pay debts in gold, and for private individuals who held stocks of silver or received fixed incomes in it. The author also discusses possible remedies for the situation, such as the demonetisation of silver. The ideas in this book are still relevant today, providing valuable historical insights into the complex relationship between currency, economics, and government finance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330805251_0
