THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

POINTS AGAINST A GOLD

Following is the paper read

ANDARD.

Mr. E. C. B. Palmer, B.A., gi opponent to Mr. E.S. Little in the recent, debate at the Foreign Y.M.C.A. on the question of a Gold, Standard for China. Mr. Little's arguments were largely based on the articles contributed by him to the N. C. 1). News, and reproduced in our columns. Mr. Palmer said: It is not my purpose to give here a history of the money question. shail limit myself to the present conditions in

China..

7. In order to establish a gokl standard a country must be in a fairly sound financial condition, with a strong central government and a people educated up to the need of such à standardh This is proved by history to have been the case in the establishment of the gold standard in the present gold-using countries.

There are three theoretical standards of money, the Gold Standard; the Silver Standard and the Bimetallic Standard,

We find most of the countries of the world divided into two groups, the gold-using countries and the silver-using countries. We find that the gutd-using group is a group of great importance "in international commerce, whose lahus of

The use of silver in these countries as the or dinary money of trade would be attended with great inconvenience and would meet with too much prejudice on the part of the people to allow any of these govemments to introduce it as the sole money of fill legal tender power, These gold countries, however, use a large amount of fractionary silver money in retail business, redeemable in gold at its face value. On the other hand, we find a group of countries, embracing an aggregate number of inhabitants nearly as great as those already mentioned, in which the form of industry, gove nment, and the habits of the people are such as to make gold an impossible money.

in these countries, trade and industry are imperfectly organised and wages are low,

Reasons of practical convenience sentiment, and habit give silver an allegiance that is too loyal to be overcome at their present stage of

civilisation.

The civilisation of a country may be gauged in many ways and by many standards. But one of the surest ways of gauging it is by the standard of money used. The passing from copper to silver marks one stage. The passing from silver to gold marks a more perfect stage in the progress of civilisation.

There are few banks in China, and so the banking business part of a gold standard, in so far as it related to the regulation of the supply, would have to be done by the govern. mant. The issue of subsidiary coinage and other forms of fiat money must be redeemable by the government in gold. The redemption

can only be determined by ex- perience and experiment. In 1883, when the population and wealth of the United States was far below what it is nów, a gold reserve of $109,000,000 was maintained by Act of Congress as a fund to redeem the money of the country. This amount of gold was con- sidered necessary, puiting the amount of fat money at $350,000,000. This, too, at a time when there was

much stronger government than China's

to back the gold standard, The distrust in weak government and the consequent die- trust in its ability to redeem its fiat money, would make the amount of the gold reserve re- quired much larger. The Gold Reserve of the United States in 1882 was 35 per cent of the fiat money issued ; this has decreased gradually, as the revenues of the Government increased. At the present time the amount of the gold reserve is about 6 per cent of the fiat money issued; but the deficiency is accounted for by the increased revenues of the Government. This fiat money can be used at Its pår välue to pay taxes and other Government dues. If these taxes were not paid in fiat money, they would have to be paid in gold.
