If the causes of present high prices be natural and normal, nothing is to be feared therefrom. High prices are by no means always an evil while low prices often are.” Mr. Gaynor thinks that perhaps some of the high prices are due to illegal combinations, but that in the main they are normal and the great rise in prices is due in large part to the enormous output of gold in the world. The gold production for the world is now $500,000,000 annually, most of this is added to the money supply and therefore, prices advance by reason of the stimulus given. Expanding currency means higher prices.
