In offering the following remarks to the public, on a subject which at the present moment deservedly attracts so much attention and excites so much interest, I am fully aware of the difficulties by which it is surrounded, which have been increased in no small degree by the determined and often violent spirit in which all parties have conducted their arguments; and, in consequence of which, society ijiay be said to be now divided into two great sections, having equally, deeplyrooted and extravagant prejudices on this important question. Disclaiming any participation or fellowship with the popular views on either side, uninfluenced by any private or party considerations, prompted only by a desire to arrive at a just and true view of so important a question as the supply of the first necessaries of life must ever be, I have approached the subject without reference to the generally existing opinions, and carefully endeavoured to consider it simply on its own merits. .

(Excerpt from Fluctuations of Currency, Commerce, and Manu...)
Excerpt from Fluctuations of Currency, Commerce, and Manufactures: Referable to the Corn Laws The frequent recurrence of periods of excitement and depression in the monetarial and commercial interests of the country, and the serious evils which have thereby been inflicted on all classes of society, have become matters of the gravest interest. In the numerous inquiries which have been made as to the cause thereof, with a view to remedial measures, attention has been directed almost exclusively to the operation and management of the currency and banking system of the country; so much so, that it appears to be almost implicitly admitted, that somewhere within the range of these subjects the true cause is to be found; and in consequence, the inquiry appears in a great measure to have been narrowed into a consideration of the principles upon which they are and ought to be conducted. As yet, however, no satisfactory result has attended these inquiries, and the further they proceed, the more it appears that these influences are too much themselves under the control of the public feeling, and to be regarded as the cause of these constant fluctuations.

Excerpt from Capital, Currency and Banking, Being a Collection of a Series of Articles Published in the Economist in 1845, on the Principles of the Bank Act of 1844, and in 1847, on the Recent Monetarial and Commercial Crisis The articles upon Capital, Currency, and Banking, which have appeared in the Economist, during the last two years, having been written chiefly in a connected series, and with the view of fairly discussing the general principles upon which the Bank Act of 1844, as applied to England, and that of 1845, as applied to Scotland and Ireland, were founded - their re-publication in the more convenient form of the present volume, has been suggested as a useful mode of again bringing them before the public at a moment when these subjects have acquired a wider and more intense interest than at any former time. Although the whole of the articles, now reprinted, consist mainly of discussions proceeding upon general principles, and arc therefore as much applicable to one period as another, yet the particular events which elicited them, from time to time, are necessarily referred to, and it became a question, whether or not it would not be better so far to alter them, as to have no special relation to the events of the moment, so as to give them more the appearance and character of permanent essays.

To effect this object, 14,000,000/ of securities are placed in the issue department, and all the bullion of the Biink, over and above a sufficient supply ot coin for the banking department, for the lull amount, notes are given to the banking department; from which the circulation of the country is supplied, and a reserve kept to provide for the deposits as they may be required. This reserve ot notes is the only command which the banking department has over the bullion, which, were they entirely converted into gold, it is plain that a sum would still be left in the issue deparlmunt, equal to the whole ol the notes in circulation, over and above the 14,000,000/ of securities. The old and new plans are substantially the same, as regards the entire liabilities of the Bank; but by the new bill the reserve of bullion is practically separated and apportioned to the circulation and the deposits. The following statement, made from the last returns, will show exactly what the difference is, and by which it will be seen to be mefely a matter of form. Under the old law the accounts of the bank would have stood thus:--£ Circulation of notes 20,242,785 Deposits 13,0i5,731 Total liabilities to the public 33.258.SI6 Against which would have been held a reserve of 9,329,84I/, in bullion. Under the new forms, the two departments stand thus:--ISSUE DEPARTMENT. Notes to the banking department, for public circulation, £ and for the reserve, againbt the deposits 22,801,100 Against which notes, bullion is held to the amount of 8,801,100/, being the excess above 14,000,000? of securities.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1847 edition. Excerpt: ... Thus, if a man employs a capital of 20,000£ in making cloth, or importing sugar, the whole of his capital, in addition to the profit, which constitutes his income, is repaid from the annual income of the country, and is available at once to repeat similar operations, and to continue to give employment to the same amount of labour; while another man, who employs a capital of 20,000/. in the construction of a railway, even though his income from the latter may be as great as from the former, yet he receives no part of his capital back, with which he could repeat the same operation, or continue to employ the same quantity of labour, and, therefore, except to the extent of the dividend received, the fund is wholly withdrawn from active employment. We shall afterwards find, as we proceed, that this distinction entirely forms the basis of what are, and what are not, proper banking securities. From what we have already said, it is evident that capital existed long before any system of money was introduced. Before the introduction of the use of money, the capital of a country consisted, as it does now, of the portion of commodities which the community produced more than they consumed; and the exchange of those commodities between the different producers was accomplished altogether by direct barter, instead of, as it is now, by indirect barter, through the use of money. The introduction of money was, therefore, only a scheme for making the exchanges of commodities more convenient and easy. These commodities consisted of everything produced by labour, including food of all kinds, clothing of all kinds, implements of all kinds, gold, silver, iron, and, in short, everything to which a value had been given by labour; and the relative exchangeable value wh...

Wilson, James was born in 1805 in Hawick, Scotland.
Businessman whose acute comments on current issues were first made public in pamphlet form and then through The Economist. In parliament
he spoke effectively on economic issues and was a highly regarded financial minister. In India he began a reform of the taxation system and introduced a paper currency.
His economic ideas were the conventional orthodoxy of the day — anti-Corn Law, pro-free trade, and in favour of a sound, convertible currency.
His 1840 work, Fluctuations., is regarded as one of the first systematic accounts of the phenomenon of business cycles. Businessman, 1821-1844.
Proprietor, Chief writer, The Economist, 1843-1860.
