I have acquired some grey hairs during myacquaintance with money matters,and my purpose is to give you anopinion I have formed.and to show in what way the present law maybe\"altered so as to remedy its dcfects.  \nIt is a great error to confound the PRISCIPLE of Sir Robert Peel'scurrency law,with the DETAII.ARRANGEMENTs for working out thatprinciple;to understand the question they must be consideredseparately.  \nIn the first place,then,as regards the PRINCTPLE,I will say at oncethat I conceive Sir Robert Peel to be perfectly correct.I conceive itto be of vital importance to our best interests as a great commereialnation,that we should be in a position to pay to the foreigner IN GOLDany balance wlich the operations of trade and mutual dealings mayleave against us.I think also it is desirable that the Bank shouldhold such reasonable quantity of bullion in its cellars,as to give thepublic confidence in the redemption of its notes.  \nAs regards ourselves,the Bank-note being legal tender,renders thesupply of gold of less importance;but we cannot make our Bank-otea legal tender to the foreigner,and unless we are prepared to pay himhis balance in gold,the credit of the country would inevitably suffer.——I say,then,that Sir Robert Peel was perfectly right inadopting gold as his basis;and if we alter that principle for any other,we shall make a change for the worse.  \nSecondly,as regards the detail arrangements for working out theprinciple:—I feel bound to say that I consider Sir Robert Pecl's viewsto be correct,and his arrangements good,up to a certain point—andthat he fails mainly from want of comprehensiveness.His arrange-ments do not mect all phases and circumstances;which,as a law,theyought to be capable of.We are now suffering,not from the presentcurrency law being bad in principle,but from an error of arrangement;in fact,the cart is put before the horse,  \nThe main reason of our requiring a currency law is,the necessity ofadjusting our trading operations,as regards prices,to the variations ofthe foreign exchanges—that is to say,in our trading operations withforeigners,the mutual claims of individuals for payment of goods soldare ezchanged against eachother;and if we buy more of foreign nationsthan they buy of us,we have of course to pay the diference in gold;  \nuum  \n7  \n2  \n3  \nto use the technical phrase,gold\"goes out;\"reverse the case,andgold“comes in,\"———When gold“goes out,”it is a certain sign(both present and prospective)so dear,that merchants could not see athat(lor some reason or other)we are asking a higher price for ourprofit on their transactions,and they would","cbCaidxQKxDRIwuk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidxQKxDRIwuk","pdf",505938,"English","## Restrictions on use\n## Technical microform data\n## Letter to the editor on currency law principle and arrangements","[{\"question\":\"What does the letter claim is the core issue with the currency question?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that people cannot see the bearings of the currency question, but that an alteration must be made, specifically to remedy defects in how the current law is arranged.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author distinguish between Peel’s principle and the details?\",\"answer\":\"The author says the “PRINCIPLE” of Peel’s currency law should be considered separately from the “DETAIL ARRANGEMENTS” used to work out that principle.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the author say should change in practice?\",\"answer\":\"The letter suggests that credit management should be handled more comprehensively and more gradually, opposing sudden or overly stringent changes that could shock or ruin merchants.\"}]","[Letter on Sir Robert Peel and the currency question] | PDF",1789963497]
