COMMENTS.

BOSTON, May 22, 1894.

I have read your several papers with much interest, and am glad to have them and this new matter in such a convenient and attractive form.

[blocks in formation]

I have read it with much interest as a + contribution to better knowledge upon the subject of money, a subject, however, which not very many will ever understand nor ever need to, unless they stand in the way of those who do.

Not doubting of the need of the money use of the two precious metals, I am glad to count you on that side.

(Signed) WM. M. EVARTS.

So. KENSINGTON, 2 June, '94.

It is certainly a much more honest system of bimetallism than the schemes already propounded, but as I disbelieve in any system of international legal tender, and doubt the ordinary meaning given by bimetallists to the appreciation of gold, my mind was not a fertile soil for the seed sown by your book.

(Signed)

PLAYFAIR.

TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN, June 2.

The state of the case is that here every thinker is in favor of bimetallism of some sort, every business man against it. The latter will go on jeering at the former for a generation and then will find out that the Professors were right. That is the usual course of history.

It seems to me that you have very cleverly laid at rest mono and bi, and introduced a flexible nexus which unites the two precious metals so that without injury to either they can together make a permanent currency basis.

(Signed) RICHARD GOODMAN,

N. Y. TIMES, May 26, 1894.

A rather striking example of the deep interest

which thoughtful men and men of large affairs are now taking in one of the foremost questions of our times.

15 LOMBARD STREET, I June, '94.

I quite agree with you that the so-called Bimetallism is not really Bimetallism. I fear, however, that there are fatal objections to the purpose of allowing an official to determine the value of the silver coins from time to time.

(Signed) JOHN LUBBOCK.

THE CHELSEA, June 10, '94.

Your suggestion is a valuable contribution to

economic thought, and it looks to me as if your idea, carried into practice, would solve the problem of currency.

(Signed) DANIEL GREANLEAF THOMPSON.

June 11, 1894.

I am not wise in the matter of methods, and only an expert would be competent to pass a valuable judgment on the details of your plan. But I thoroughly agree with you that our hard times are due to the attempt to put the business of the world on a gold basis, and that we shall not have any permanent return of prosperity until, in some form or other, we succeed in establishing a standard of currency which will neither appreciate, as gold alone is certain to do, nor depreciate, as silver alone is certain to do.
