Abstract

The Course of Prices
October 1, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

In the advance sheets of the forthcoming report of the Director of the Mint, the results of calculations as to the general course of prices for the years 1883 and 1884 has been found. The investigation of prices perhaps did not lie strictly within the province of the Mint Department, in the U.S. neither has it been carried out with the care and discrimination which should have been exercised by one trained in the practice of thorough inquiry into economic questions. It should be said that the original figures in the Mint reports are based on a different standard, and have been reduced for the sake of simpler comparison, to that used by economists.
