Excerpt from Suggestions on the Banks and Currency of the Several United States, in Reference Principally to the Suspension of Specie Payments Since the principal advantage of a paper currency consists in the additional capital it supplies, such currency is most useful, above all most wanted, but unfortunately a more dangerous expedient, in those countries and places where there is the least amount of circulating capital as compared to the demand for it. This is eminently the case in newly settled countries, with a rapidly increasing population. We find accordingly the local governments of America perpetually resorting to emissions of paper money under the colonial regimen; and that, at this moment, the excess of issues occurs principally in the Western States, and generally wherever country banks have been estab fished.

Excerpt from The Currency Problem and the Present Financial Situation: A Series of Addresses Delivered at Columbia University, 1907-1908 The occasion of the addresses collected in this volume was a desire to contribute to the understanding of the crisis of 1907, and to lay down some principles which might be of service in the reconstruction of our currency system. The first question, however, that will Obviously present itself, is as to whether the crisis of 1907 was primarily a financial or an industrial crisis; and it may be well, before taking up the specific problems raised by the addresses, to consider this question a little more closely. From one point of view, indeed, every economic crisis is a financial crisis. For since values are expressed in terms of money, and Since the modern business super structure is erected on the basis of credit, every economic revulsion expresses itself through the medium of a change in prices; and since the bank is the center of credit Operations, every crisis inevitably involves a revolution in the conditions Of credit. From this point of View, all crises may be declared to be financial crises. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Banking System of the United States and Its Relation to the Money and Business of the Country The exact relations of our banking system to the business prosperity and money of the United States do not seem to be fully com prehended by our people. The writer is a business man, to whom his dealings with banks, in the ordinary course of business, has suggested the preparation of this little volume, in which he discusses that serv ice of banks to the community which to him seems at once the most important, and, at the same time, most commonly ignored. In his judgment there can be no proper understand ing of the monetary problems of the day unless the relation of the bank-credit money of the country to the money of the Govern ment is 'fully comprehended.

Excerpt from Considerations on the Currency and Banking System of the United States The total amount of gold and silver produced by the mines of America, to the year 1803, inclusively, and remaining there or exported to Europe, has been estimated by Humboldt at about five thousand six hundred millions of dollars; and the product of the years 1804-4830, may lie estimated at seven hundred and fifty millions. If to this we add one hundred mil lions, the nearly ascertained product to this time of the mines of Siberia, about four hundred and fifty millions for the African 'gold dust, and for the product of the mines of Europe, (which yielded about three millions a year in the beginning of this cen tury, ) from the discovery of America to this day, and three hundred millions for the amount existing in Europe prior to the discovery of America, we find a total not widely differing from the fact, of seven thousand two hundred millions of dollars. It is much more difficult to ascertain the amount Which now re mains in Europe and America together. The loss by friction and accidents might be estimated, and researches made respect ing the total amount which has been exported to countries beyond the Cape of Good hope; but that which has been actually con sumed in gilding, plated ware, and other manufactures of the same character, cannot be correctly ascertained. From the im perfect data within our reach, it may, we think, be affirmed; that the amount still existing in Europe and America certainly exceeds four thousand, and most probably falls short of five thousand millions of dollars. Of the medium, or four thousand five hundred millions, which we have assumed, it appears that from to 3} is used as currency, and that the residue consists of plate, jewels, and other manufactured articles. It is known; that of the gross amount of seven thousand two hundred mil-i lions of dollars, about 1800 millions or eth of the whole in value, and {5th in weight, consisted of gold. Of the four thousand five hundred millions, the presumed remaining amount in gold and silver, the proportion of gold is probably greater, on account of the exportation to India and China having been exclusively in silver, and of the greater care in preventing every possible Waste in an article so valuable as gold.

Excerpt from The Coming Battle: A Complete History of the National Banking Money Power in the United States In this volume the author endeavors to give an accurate history of the present National Bank System of currency, including an account of the first United States Bank, - both of which were borrowed from Great Britain by those statesmen who, like the father of Sir Robert Peel, believed that a national debt was the source of prosperity. It is believed that the facts adduced in the following pages will be productive of some good, in pointing out the immense evils lurking in that system of banking, - a system which has produced panics at will, and which is the active abettor of the stock gamblers, rail road wreckers, and those industrial tyrants of modern times, the enormously overcapitalized and oppressive trusts. It is sought to point out the great dangers of delegat ing purely government powers to these greedy monopo lists, by which they are enabled to organize a money trust, far more tyrannical than all the other combina tions now in existence; and by which they absolutely defy the authority that endowed them with corporate life.

Excerpt from A History of Modern Banks of Issue The past twelve years have contributed much to strictly monetary as well as to banking history. Questions whose solution was doubtful and disputed have been settled to the satisfaction of intelligent men. The gold standard, which was described twelve years ago as a conspiracy against the human race, has been adopted in succession within that time by the United States, Russia, Austria - Hungary, Japan, and Mexico. Practically the only country remaining upon the silver standard is China, which is without a national monetary system, and even as these pages go to press despatches from China indicate that the government is planning such a national system to be based ultimately upon gold.
