SOLUTION TO PROBLEM
Proposes that Weight pf Gold Dollar
Jlo Increased to Restore Hume of
Us Lost Purchasing Power.
In Country.
BOSTON Sept. 2(5'a plan to sta-
bilize tlio purchasing power of money
u ft remedy for tlio Increasing qo'st of
living wns laid before Uio lntorna-
tionaf Congress of Chambers of Com
murqe- toduy by Pr.of. Irving Fisher of
iaie university wis suggestion was
mndu in anticipation of the Interna
tlorinl Conferonco on the Cost of Liv-
ing recommended by President Tnft.
".My plan1' said Prof. Fisher "Is
similar to a suggestion of Governor
Woodrow Wilson that tho Weight of
the gold dollar should bo Increased
enough (0. restore some of Its lost pur-
chasing power.
."I havo said that my proposal is vir-
tually to Incrcnso tho weight of the
gold dollar. Hut OiIh increasing weight
Would not bo ndded to the coins them-
selves but only to the bullion out of
which they aro made. In other wordf
the proposal ts to restore the ancient
custom of a 'selgulorftge on gold coin-
age. At present there la no seignior-
nge. Coinage Is free and the weight
of n gold dollar Is as great us the
weight of tlio bullion which the miner
takes to IJie mint mid for which ho
receives back a dollar. He now takes
H5.S grains of gold bullion to tho mint
to secure n 25.8 grain gold dollar.
Tho coined dollar weighs the same as
he uncoined or 'bullion dollar.' If 1
muy use sUch a term. My proposal is
to increase the wolght of the; bullion
dollar: that Is. to retpilro 20 or 27 or
2S grains of gold bullion to bo taken to
. the mint to secure n 25.8 grain gold
dollar. The coined dollar would re-
main unchanged in weight! 25.8 grains)
hut the bullion required to secure (he
coined dollar tho hulllon dollar-
would bo heavier Tlio dirfercnoo In
wolpht botwoo'u tho two would be the
seigniorage. It "would not 1o fixed
onto for all but would be continually
adjusted so as to give tho dollar nl
Ways a fixed purchasing power. as
tho coined dollar would bo Intcrcnni
vcrtlblo with the bullion doltnr thd
two would always be oiunl In Value.
The ultlmnto dollar would bb as It now
is- a dollar of gold bullion but this
dollar would no. longer bo of fixed
weight and vnrlnble value but of Axed
value and variable weight.
"The adjustment of the seigniorage
would-be entirely automatic depend-
ent oh nn official index number of
tho urlco lovel. Tho system hero pro-
posed Is so far as I know thn only
one proposed which Is purply self act.
lug. If tljo official Indexnumbcr shows
a He of prices in nv yenr.say one
Pr cent. It would be mandatory Tor
.the mints to add one per cent to the
seigniorage. Expressed thoother way
about. If gold Itwes one per cent of It
value the mints would pay ono per
cent less for H. This would tend al-
ways to preserve n uniform purchas-
ing power of tho monetary unit- As
soon an any depreciation occurred the
increase or tho. solgnlorago would op-
erate to correct it. Tho present mint
price Is fixed; it Is 3. 17ti 104d per
oiiucc of gold 11.12 line in England or
J1V.C0 per ounce of gold 9.10 lino In
tho United States. Tho proposal Is
simply that Instead of always paying
tho sumo money prlco for gold uo
matter how much It appreciates or
depreciates In purchasing power over
goods we shall pay oxactly what it is
worth. There Is no vlrtuo In a ttxed
mint price for gold but thero Is virtue
In a llxcd purchasing power of mon-
ey. 'Tho great fall of prices ending In
1800 was of ton referred to as nn ap-
preciation of gold Just as tho rlso of
prices bIiico 18U0 Ib often referred to
as a depreciation of gold. In order
words tho dollar tlio liound sterling
tho franc tho mark nnd nil other mo
netary units In gold woro Increns-

"This continual variation in tho reul

ness. It Is ono of tho sources of
booms crises contractions und de-
pressions by which modern business
men uro perpetually- vexed. Unfortu-
nately on yot tho rank nud file of
business men do not roalUu tlio oIobo
connection between tho cycles of trndo
and tlio instability of tho dollar.
