Description: Hardcover. 8vo. Published by University Of Chicago Press, Chicago, IL. 1898. xii, 608 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Bound in blue cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. Bookplate present to the front pastedown. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The prime and immediate emphasis of the preliminary report of the Indianapolis Monetary Commission was to complete the promise of the McKinley victory by codifying and enacting what was already in place de facto: a single gold standard, with silver reduced to the status of subsidiary token currency. Completing the victory over Bryanism and free silver, however, was just a mopping-up operation; more important in the long run was the call raised by the report for banking reform to allow greater elasticity. Bank credit could then be increased in recessions and whenever seasonal pressure for redemption by agricultural country banks forced the large central reserve banks to contract their loans. The actual measures called for by the commission were of marginal importance. (More important was that the question of banking reform had been raised at all.) 1898 Report of the Monetary Commission of the Indianapolis Convention Hardcover Description Up For Sale Today is Report of the Monetary Commission of the Indianapolis Convention of Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce, Commercial Clubs, and Other Similar Commercial Bodies of the United States Hardcover. 8vo.
