Gold is the measuring rod. How It is possible to make a standard of measurement for everything when, there is not enough of that standard is what passes my understanding. And even such gold as there is is in the hands of the United States and of France.
The affects of the eagerness for the Gold Standard, which has been so strong during the last few years, could easily have been foreseen. since for many years authorities. have pointed out that if all nations insisted on having gold currencies there would not be enough to go round, and that the conséquence would be a fall in prices. This in precisely what has happened. Add to this the fact that the purchasing power of three fifths of the world's population-that is, the silver peo plos-has been crippled by the j'abandonment of the silver standard- and the reasons for the present paralysis of the world's trade be come clear.
