will  find  in  most  cases  that  arithmetic  means,  as  well  as  deciles 
and  medians,  have  been  prepared  for  him. 

The  chief  sources  of  data  regarding  prices  and  wages  in  the 
United  States  during  the  period  of  the  greenback  standard  are 
the  two  reports  from  Mr.  J.  D.  Weeks  published  in  Vol.  XX  of 
the  Tenth  Census,  and  the  ** exhibits"  of  the  Aldrich  Report. 
The  material  in  Weeks 's  reports  has  never  been  analyzed  with  a 
view  to  ascertaining  the  general  drift  of  the  facts  which  it  sets 
forth  at  such  length,  except  for  the  few  years  covered  by  the 
** History  of  the  Greenbacks."  But  the  material  in  the  Aldrich 
Report  was  made  the  basis  of  elaborate  tables  of  relative  prices 
and  relative  wages,  compiled  under  the  direction  of  Professor 
Roland  P.  Falkner.    My  reasons  for  re-working  this  material  are 

(1)  that  Professor  Falkner  did  not  use  the  price-quotations  for 
April,  July,  and  October,  or  the  wage-quotations  for  July,  and 

(2)  that  his  methods  have  been  shown  by  several  critics  to  be 
seriously  at  fault.  The  new  results  obtained  from  this  material 
are  fuller  than  Falkner 's  for  the  years  they  cover,  and  show  im- 
portant divergencies  from  his  figures  in  the  degree  of  variation 
both  of  prices  and  of  wages. 

In  compiling  the  tables  great  care  has  been  exercised  to  guard 
against  error,  and  every  stage  of  the  w^ork  has  passed  through  the 
hands  of  at  least  two  computers.  Doubtless  errors  still  remain 
undetected ;  but  I  do  not  think  that  there  can  be  any  of  sufficient 
magnitude  to  affect  the  results  appreciably. 

To  facilitate  comparison,  all  the  charts  except  the  first  and  the 
last  have  been  drawn  to  the  same  scale  and  reduced  for  reproduc- 
tion in  the  same  degree.  In  the  two  cases  noted,  index  diagrams 
on  the  scale  used  for  the  other  charts  have  been  provided. 

Acknowledgment  is  hereby  made  of  aid  received  from  the 
Carnegie  Institution  of  Washington  in  the  collection  of  data  for 
this  work.  Professor  Dewey  has  read  the  five  chapters  of  text  in 
MS.;  Professor  Carl  C.  Plehn  has  read  part,  and  Professor  Allyn 
A.  Young  has  read  all  of  the  chapters  in  proof,  and  Mrs.  Warren 
Gregory  has  read  both  the  MS.  and  proof.  To  all  these  friends 
my  thanks  are  due  for  kindly  criticisms  and  valuable  suggestions.

CHAPTER  I. 

The  Premium  on  Gold  and  the  Specie  Value  op  the 

Greenbacks. 

I,— The  Gold  Markets, 

When  the  New  York  banks  suspended  specie  payments  on 
Monday,  December  30th,  1861,  gold  coin  at  once  commanded  a 
premium  in  paper  money.  For  two  weeks  there  was  no  organ- 
^  ized  market  for  gold ;  but  people  who  desired  to  buy  or  sell  coin 
resorted  to  the  brokers  in  foreign  money.  On  the  13th  of  Janu- 
ary, however,  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange  began  dealing  in 
gold,  a  step  which  put  the  resources  of  a  highly  organized  market 
at  the  disposal  of  those  who  wished  to  buy  or  sell  coin  or  to  spec- 
ulate in  ** futures.''  Dealing  in  gold  continued  on  the  Stock 
Exchange  until  June  21,  1864,  when  the  short-lived  law  prohib- 
iting sales  of  gold  outside  of  brokers*  offices  became  eflPective. 
After  this  law  was  repealed  transactions  on  the  Stock  Exchange 
were  not  regularly  resumed,  except  for  a  brief  period  in  October, 
1869,  when  the  Gold  Exchange  was  clased  because  of  the  liqui- 
dation following  ** Black  Friday.*' 

Meanwhile   other  organized   markets   had   been   established. 

(1)  The  **Open  Board"  of  stock  brokers  was  a  younger  rival 
of  the  ** regular"  Stock  Exchange,  and  like  the  latter  added  gold 
to  the  list  of  commodities  dealt  in.  Its  separate  existence  came 
to  an  end  in  1869,  when  it  was  united  with  the  Stock  Exchange. 

(2)  The  ** Evening  Exchange"  began  informally  when  a  number 
of  men  formed  the  habit  of  meeting  in  the  corridors  of  the  Fifth 
Avenue  Hotel  to  continue  speculating  after  the  day  exchanges 
had  been  closed.  An  enterprising  Mr.  Gallagher  opened  a  luxu- 
rious room  for  the  use  of  this  company  opposite  the  hotel  in 
March,  1864.  Here  gold,  together  with  railway  and  petroleum 
stocks,  was  bought  and  sold  urltil  midnight.    This  exchange  was 


2  University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics,    U^^^}-  ^ 

regarded  with  disfavor  by  many  business  men,  ostensibly  because 
speculating  both  night  and  day  was  detrimental  to  health  and 
morals.  After  the  discovery  of  the  Ketchum  gold-certificate 
frauds  in  August,  1865,  the  banks  and  the  other  exchanges  united 
to  suppress  trading  at  night,  by  forbidding  their  members  to 
frequent  Gallagher's  room.  Accordingly  the  Evening  Exchange 
was  closed.  (3)  The  market  known  popularly  as  the  **Gold 
Room*'  and  formally  as  the  **New  York  Gold  Exchange''  grew 
out  of  the  operations  of  a  knot  of  men  who  began  in  1862  to  buy 
and  sell  gold  in  a  basement  in  William  Street.  As  the  numbers 
and  prosperity  of  the  company  increased,  they  moved  the  *  *  Gold 
Room"  several  times  to«obtain  more  commodious  quarters.  After 
the  Stock  Exchange  dropped  gold  from  the  **call  list"  in  June, 
1864,  the  **Gold  Room"  became  the  most  important  market  for 
gold  in  the  country  and  continued  such  until  specie  payments 
were  resumed  January  1st,  1879.  At  first  its  organization  was 
very  loose;  but  in  October,  1864,  it  adopted  a  constitution  and 
by-laws,  and  began  to  elect  regular  officers.  May  1,  1877,  it  affil- 
iated with  the  Stock  Exchange,  and  was  thereafter  styled  **The 
New  York  Stock  Exchange,  Gold  Department. '  '^ 

//. — Tables  of  the  Premium  on  Gold. 

The  prices  of  gold  in  these  various  exchanges  were  regularly 
reported  in  the  financial  columns  of  the  daily  papers — often  in 
much  detail.  The  financial  journals — such  as  Hunt's  Merchants' 
Magazine,  the  Bankers'  Magazine,  and  the  Commercial  and 
Financial  Chronicle — usually  contented  themselves  with  publish- 
ing the  opening,  highest,  lowest,  and  closing  prices  for  each  day. 
At  intervals  they  compiled  summary  tables  of  daily  highest  and 
lowest  prices  for  months  or  years.  Similar  tables  were  included 
in  the  statistical  reports  of  such  bodies  as  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce of  the  State  of  New  York,  and  in  the  almanacs  issued  by 
various  newspapers. 

A  more  detailed  record  of  the  price  of  gold  was  preserved  for 
most  of  the  years  of  the  paper  standard  in  an  annual  publication 
issued  by  Mr.  J.  C.  Mersereau,  Register  of  the  Gold  Exchange, 

^Bankers'  Magazine  (New  York),  Vol.  31,  p.  989. 


1908]        Mitchell— Go14,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  3 

under  the  title  ** American  Gold,  1862- (date  of  issue).''  This 
little  volume  usually  gave  for  the  preceding  year  the  quotation 
for  gold  at  ten  o'clock  and  every  quarter  hour  thereafter  until 
three  in  the  afternoon  of  each  business  day,  and  in  all  cases  it 
gave  the  highest  and  lowest  prices  for  every  business  day  from 
January  13,  1862,  when  gold  was  first  quoted  on  the  Stock  Ex- 
change to  the  end  of  the  previous  year. 

The  tables  of  daily  highest  and  lowest  prices  of  gold  found 
in  the  most  important  of  these  sources — namely :  the  Commercial 
and  Financial  Chronicle,  the  Reports  of  the  Chamber  of  Com^ 
merce  of  the  State  of  New  York,  and  Mersereau's  American  Oold 
— are  in  close  agreement  with  each  other.  Numei*ous  small  dis- 
crepancies exist — the  quotations  frequently  vary  by  an  eighth, 
sometimes  by  a  quarter ;  but  it  matters  little  which  set  of  tables 
is  followed.  Since  Mersereau  was  the  official  register  of  the  Qold 
Exchange,  however,  his  tables  take  precedence  in  authority.  Ac- 
cordingly, Table  1,  in  the  appendix,  which  gives  the  daily  highest 
and  lowest  prices  of  gold,  is  based  on  '* American  Oold,  1862- 
1878" — the  latest  issue  of  Mersereau's  annual  I  have  been  able 
to  find.  To  guard  against  repeating  the  typographical  errors 
which  occur  in  "^Mersereau 's  table  I  have  collated  it  with  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  table  and  made  several  corrections.  Since 
Mersereau's  table  is  not  available  for  1878,  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce figures,  checked  by  those  of  the  Commercial  and  Financial 
Chronicle,  are  used  for  the  last  year  of  the  paper  standard.  To 
save  space  the  premium  on  gold  is  given,  instead  of  the  price  of 
gold  in  currency;  and,  to  facilitate  study  of  the  depreciation  in 
the  specie  value  of  the  currency,  columns  have  been  added  giving 
the  prices  of  greenbacks  in  gold  corresponding  to  the  daily  highest 
and  lowest  premiums  on  gold  in  greenbacks. 

Mersereau  does  not  state  explicitly  from  what  markets  his 
quotations  are  taken ;  but  comparison  with  other  reports  indicate 
that  they  refer  to  the  Stock  Exchange  for  January  13,  1862,  to 
June  20,  1864,  and  thereafter  to  the  Gold  Exchange,  except  for 
the  first  part  of  October,  1869,  when  the  Gold  Exchange  was 
closed  and  dealings  were  conducted  on  the  Stock  Exchange.  The 
data  for  January  1-11,  1862,  I  have  supplied  from  the  financial 
columns  of  New  York  daily  papers.

IIL — Changes  in  the  Premium  on  Oold  and  in  the  Oold  Value  of 

the  Greenbacks, 

It  is  unwise  to  begin  the  study  of  the  fluctuations  in  the  specie 
value  of  the  paper  standard  by  poring  over  the  table  of  daily 
highest  and  lowest  quotations  given  in  the  appendix.  For  the 
abundant  detail  of  that  table  obscures  the  broader  and  more  im- 
portant features  of  the  fluctuations.  To  make  the  latter  plain 
two  summary  tables  are  presented  here ;  one  giving  data  by  years, 
the  other  by  months  and  quarters.  The  columns  in  these  tables 
which  show  average  prices  are  from  the  computations  of  Mr. 
E.  B.  Elliott,  formerly  Actuary  of  the  Treasury.  They  are  based 
on  the  opening,  highest,  lowest,  and  closing  quotations  of  each 
business  day,  and  are  to  be  found  in  many  of  the  statistical  re- 
ports issued  by  the  Treasury  Department.  The  columns  showing 
highest  and  lowest  quotations  are  compiled  from  the  table  in  the 
appendix.  The  chart  which  accompanies  these  tables  shows  for 
each  month  the  average  value  of  the  greenbacks  in  gold  and  the 
range  between  the  highest  and  lowest  values.  The  corresponding 
prices  of  gold  in  greenbacks  are  shown  in  several  of  the  later

charts.  The  present  chart  is  drawn  to  two  scales;  the  largjer  one 
chasen  to  throw  the  fluctuations  into  hi^h  relief,  the  smaller  to 
show  how  the  same  fluctuations  appear  when  represented  on  the 
flat  scale  used  in  the  charts  of  relative  prices  and  wages. 

These  summary  tables  and  the  chart  show  the  existence  of 
four  clearly  differentiated  periods  in  the  fluctuations  of  the 
premium  during  the  17  years  of  the  greenback  standard  of  value. 
The  first  period  begins  with  the  suspension  of  specie  payments 
and  ends  in  April,  1865,  with  Lee's  surrender.  It  is  character- 
ized by  violent  fluctuations  in  the  price  of  gold  and  high  average 
premiums.  The  second  period  extends  from  May,  1865,  to  "Black 
Friday,*'  September  24,  1869.  During  these  years  the  gold 
market  was  on  the  whole  quieter  than  it  had  been  during  the 
war,  the  premium  averaged  much  lower  than  in  1864  and  the 
early  months  of  1865,  and  the  range  of  fluctuations  was  narrower 
— even  in  1866,  the  year  when  McCulloch's  policy  of  contraction 


14         University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  1 

was  checked  and  when  London  suffered  the  Overend-Gurney 
panic,  and  in  1869,  the  year  of  ** Black  Friday."  But  despite 
many  temporary  ups  and  downs  there  was  no  permanent  reduc- 
tion of  the  premium  within  this  period;  for  the  average  gold 
quotation  of  its  first  month  was  135.6  and  of  its  last  month  136.8. 
The  third  period  begins  October,  1869,  and  extends  to  March, 
1876.  This  period,  when  compared  with  the  second,  is  character- 
ized by  a  much  lower  average  premium  and  a  narrower  range  of 
fluctuations;  but  it  is  like  the  second  in  showing  no  permanent 
reduction  of  the  premium  within  its  own  limits.  The  average 
premium  for  the  last  year,  1875,  is  the  same  as  the  average  for 
the  first  year,  1870.  Doubtless  the  generally  lower  level  about 
which  the  premium  fluctuated  during  these  years  was  due  mainly 
to  the  improvement  in  the  financial  credit  of  the  government 
caused  by  the  ** public  credit"  act  of  1869,  by  successful  refund- 
ing operations,  and  by  the  reduction  of  the  principal  of  the  public 
debt.  That  no  progressive  decline  of  the  premium  took  place 
between  the  beginning  and  the  end  of  the  period  was  due  to  the 
fact  that  the  prospect  of  resumption  of  specie  payments  seemed 
as  remote  in  1875  as  it  had  seemed  in  1870.  The  resumption  act 
bears  the  date  January  14,  1875,  to  be  sure ;  but  current  comment 
of  well-informed  journals  shows  that  at  the  time  of  its  enactment 
it  was  not  taken  seriously  by  the  public.  One  interesting  feature 
of  this  period  is  that  the  great  crisis  of  1873  led  to  a  sharp  fall 
of  the  premium,  despite  the  fact  that  the  Secretary  of  the  Treas- 
ury reissued  $26,000,000  of  greenbacks  which  had  been  with- 
drawn by  Secretary  McCulloch.  The  final  period  in  the  history 
of  the  paper  standard  extends  from  April,  1876,  to  the  resumption 
of  specie  payments  on  January  1st,  1879.  It  is  characterized  by 
an  almost  unbroken  decline  in  the  premium  on  gold  and  a  narrow 
range  of  fluctuations.  The  reason  for  this  decline — at  least  after 
March,  1877,  when  John  Sherman  became  secretary  of  the  treas- 
ury— is  obviously  found  in  the  effective  preparations  to  execute 
the  reijumption  act  of  1875,  and  the  fortunate  turn  of  foreign 
trade  which  facilitated  Sherman's  operations. 

Study  of  the  monthly  table  of  gold  quotations,  of  the  chart 
which  follows,  and  of  the  detailed  table  in  the  appendix,  shows 
that  each  of  these  four  periods  contains  within  it  numerous  up-

ward  and  downward  movements,  some  of  which  extended  over 
many  months  and  covered  a  wide  range.  Thus  the  first  period 
shows  five  well  marked  subdivisions.  (1)  January  to  April, 
1862,  w^hen  the  hope  of  ending  the  war  in  the  spring  was  high, 
the  premium  was  small  and  steady.  (2)  Prom  April,  1862,  to 
February,  1863,  there  occurred  an  almost  unbroken  advance  in 
the  premium  connected  with  the  failure  of  McClellan's  peninsula 
campaign,  the  second  issue  of  the  greenbacks,  the  administration's 
losses  in  the  autumn  elections,  Chase's  depressing  finance  report, 
Bumside's  defeat  at  Fredericksburg,  and  the  third  legal  tender 
act.  (3)  From  March  to  August  the  premium  fell,  mainly  be- 
cause of  Mr.  Jay  Cooke's  success  in  selling  bonds,  the  victory  of 
Gettysburg,  and  the  capture  of  Vicksburg  and  Port  Hudson. 
(4)  From  September  to  July,  1864,  the  premium  rose  again 
because  of  disappointment  over  Lee's  escape,  lack  of  military 
progress,  the  dilatoriness  of  Congress  in  voting  taxes,  the  Treas- 
ury's futile  campaign  against  speculators  in  gold,  and  the 
difficulty  in  selling  bonds.  (5) Finally  the  fall  of  the  premium 
from  August,  1864,  to  May,  1865,  was  brought  about  by  the 
victories  of  Grant,  Sherman,  and  Sheridan  which  put  an  end  to 
the  war.  Still  more  detailed  study  shows  minor  ups  and  downs, 
varying  the  general  trend,  within  each  of  these  smaller- periods.^ 
Investigation  of  these  minor  fluctuations  in  the  price  of  gold 
would  be  of  slight  interest  without  a  thorough-going  attempt  to 
find  the  multifarious  causes  which  produced  them.  But  such  an 
attempt  would  require  the  presentation  and  analysis  of  much 
material  which  finds  no  place  in  the  present  volume  of  statistical 
tables.  The  one  topic  which  can  be  treated  on  the  basis  of  these 
tables  Ls  the  connection  between  the  fluctuations  of  the  price  of 
gold  and  the  fluctuations  of  the  relative  prices  of  commodities 
and  labor.  And  this  topic,  of  course,  cannot  be  taken  up  until 
the  tables  of  relative  prices  and  wages  have  been  presented.

CHAPTER  II. 
The  Prices  op  Commodities  at  Wholesale. 

I. — Material  and  Methods, 

The  primary  purpose  of  the  following  tables  is  to  provide 
material  for  investigating  the  influence  of  the  variations  in  the 
specie  value  of  the  irredeemable  paper  standard  of  1862  to  1878 
upon  prices  at  wholesale.  This  purpose,  together  -with  the  limi- 
tations of  the  available  data,  determines  the  chief  features  of  the 
tables. 

(1)  The  frequency  of  wide  fluctuations  in  the  premium  on 
gold  makes  it  desirable  to  have  a  table  showing  relative  prices  at 
brief  intervals.  The  best  that  can  be  done  in  this  direction  with 
the  available  data  is  to  make  a  quarterly  table.  In  the  exhibits 
of  the  Aldrich  Report^  there  are  150  approximately  complete 
series  of  wholesale  price  quotations  for  January,  April,  July,  and 
October;  or  for  February,  May,  August,  and  November  of  each 
year  from  1860  to  1880.  To  these  may  be  added  three  similar 
series  for  different  grades  of  wool,  compiled  by  Messrs.  Mauger 
and  Avery.  A  larger  number  of  series  could  be  found  if  we  were 
content  with  one  index  number  for  each  year  instead  of  four; 
but  the  gain  in  comprehensiveness  of  material  would  be  more 
than  offset  by  the  diminution  in  the  number  of  points  at  which 
comparison  could  be  made  with  the  premium  on  gold. 

(2)  To  compare  the  fluctuations  in  the  prices  of  commodities 
with  the  fluctuations  in  the  price  of  gold  it  is  necessary  to  treat 
the  prices  quoted  at  various  dates  after  suspension  of  specie  pay- 
ments as  percentages  of  the  prices  prevailing  before  suspension. 
Since  many  of  the  series  to  be  used  do  not  go  back  of  1860  it  is 
not  possible  to  use  average  prices  for  a  decade  or  five  years  as  the 
basis;  and  since  1861  was  a  year  of  marked  business  depression 
and  exceptionally  low  wholesale  prices  it  seems  desirable  to  de- 


*  Technically  designated  as  "Wholesale  Prices,  Wages  and  Transporta- 
tion. Report  by  Mr.  Aldrich  from  the  Committee  on  Finance,  March  3,  1893, 
52d  Congress,  2nd  session,  Senate  Report,  1394." 


1908]        Mitch  ell— Gold,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  17 

pend  upon  the  prices  of  1860  alone.  Accordingly  relative  prices 
have  been  computed  uniformly  upon  the  basis:  actual  prices  in 
1860  =  100.2 

(3)  Of  the  153  available  series  a  large  number  represent 
quotations  for  slightly  different  forms  of  the  same  commodity,  or 
for  closely  related  commodities.  For  example,  there  are  3  series 
for  flaxseed,  5  for  starch,  2  for  pails  with  two  hoops  and  1  for 
pails  with  three  hoops,  etc.  To  use  several  series  for  some  com- 
modities, while  other  commodities  are  represented  by  but  one 
series,  is  a  course  purposely  adopted  by  certain  statisticians — for 
example,  Mr.  Sauerbeck — as  a  rough  method  of  weighting.  But 
in  the  Aldrich  Report  the  commodities  represented  by  2  or  more 
series  are  in  many  cases  of  minor  importance,  and  to  use  all  these 
series,  as  Professor  Falkner  did  in  constructing  his  table  of 
wholesale  prices  from  this  material,  gives  averages  weighted  in 
a  manner  which  cannot  be  defended.^  Since  there  is  seldom 
ground  for  selecting  one  of  the  two  or  more  series  in  preference 
to  the  others,  in  all  such  cases  I  have  computed  averages  of  the 
relative  prices  of  the  related  series  and  used  the  resulting  series 
of  averages  in  making  the  tables. 

To  determine  what  series  are  so  closely  related  as  to  require 
this  treatment  is  often  a  delicate  task.  In  doubtful  cases  I  have 
preferred  to  put  the  commodities  into  a  group  rather  than  to 
leave  them  separate :  for  example,  I  have  used  a  single  series  of 
averages  to  represent  the  relative  prices  of  all  the  cotton  textiles. 
But  where  prices  are  quoted  for  a  raw  material  and  products 
made  from  it  I  have  always  kept  at  least  two  series — for  example, 
cotton  and  cotton  textiles,  corn  and  com  meal,  hides  and  leather, 


'In  the  case  of  commodities  subject  to  marked  seasonal  fluctuations  of 
price  I  have  used  the  average  of  the  quarterly  quotations  for  1860  as  the 
basis.  In  other  cases  I  have  prefcrre<l  to  maintain,  so  far  as  possible,  com- 
parability ydi\\  the  series  of  relative  prices  computed  under  Professor  Falk- 
ner's  direction  for  Senator  Aldrich  *8  committee  by  following  his  example 
in  selecting  the  price  of  some  one  month.  Usually  this  month  is  January; 
but  in  certain  instances  Professor  Falkner  deemed  the  price  of  some  other 
month  more  significant.  The  relative  prices  of  the  different  kinds  of  lumber 
for  example,  are  based  on  the  July  quotations  for  1860.  The  base  used  in 
each  series  can  be  made  out  by  examining  the  relative  prices  for  the  four 
quarters  of  1860  as  shown  in  Table  2  of  the  appendix. 

"  Compare  A  History  of  the  Greenbacks,  pp.  249-254.  Falkner 's  error  in 
this  respect  is  being  perpetuated  by  the  Bureau  of  Labor  in  its  table  of 
relative  prices  at  wholesale  since  1890.

the  llnetnations  which  have  occurred  in  the  wholesale  price-level, 
the  relative  importance  of  the  commodities  included  in  the  tables

one  of  the  conventionally  accepted  topics  of  discussion  among 
economic  statisticians.  Little  attention,  however,  has  been  paid 
to  the  fact  that  no  single  set  of  averages,  whatever  their  form, 
can  be  an  adequate  representation  of  the  complex  phenomena  of 
a  rise  or  fall  in  prices.  All  that  a  set  of  averages  can  be  made 
to  show  is  a  net  result  of  the  diverse  fluctuations  in  the  prices  of 
the  commodities  for  which  quotations  are  available.  For  some 
purposes  for  which  price  tables  are  used  this  net  result  may  be 
all  that  is  required.  But  whenever  the  purpose  is  to  make  a 
thorough  examination  of  changes  in  prices,  any  table  which  gives 
only  two  numbers  to  represent  the  relative  price-level  at  dif- 
ferent dates  is  an  inadequate  device.  The  variety  of  the  relative 
prices  of  difterent  commodities  on  the  same  date;  their  dispersion 
over  a  wide  or  narrow  range ;  their  concentration  around  certain 
points  or  within  certain  limits ;  and  the  variety  of  changes  which 
occur  between  two  dates  cannot  be  shown  hy  such  means.  Taken 
by  themselves,  indeed,  averages  represented  by  single  numbers 
may  be  positively  misleading  in  the  impressions  which  they  give; 
and  though  this  seldom  happens  in  practice  with  price  statistics, 
it  is  the  rule  that  fuller  information  than  averages  give  would 
make  the  investigation  more  fruitful.  In  brief,  for  the  thorough 
study  of  price-movements  a  form  of  tables  is  required  which 
represents  the  facts  more  adequately  than  does  a  series  of  aver- 
ages; but  w^hich  at  the  same  time  represents  them  in  such  a 
systematic  form  as  to  give  distinct  impressions. 

After  unsatisfactory  experimenting  w^ith  tables  and  surfaces 
of  frequency,  I  devised  for  this  purpose  what  may  be  called 
tables  of  deciles.*^  They  give  for  each  date  the  highest  and  lowest 
of  the  relative  prices  found  among  the  series  used,  and  also  the 
points  in  the  scale  of  relative  prices  which  divide  the  whole 
number  of  series  as  nearly  as  may  be  into  ten  equal  parts.  These 
dividing  points — the  deciles — thus  correspond  in  character  to 
medians;  indeed  the  fifth  decile  is  the  median.  To  determine 
the  deciles  for  any  date  it  is  necessary  (1)  to  make  out  a  tally- 
sheet  which  has  a  scale  of  relative  prices  running  from  the  lowest 
to  the  highest  relative  price  appearing  on  that  date;  (2)  to  enter

the  number  of  the  series  used  into  successive  tenths;  (5)  to  mark 
off  in  the  colunni  of  cumuhitive  sums  the  points  which  contain 
these  successive  tenths,  and  (6)  to  write  down  the  relative  prices 
opposite  these  dividing  points  as  the  deciles.  This  process  can 
be  easily  followed  by  examining  the  specimen  tally  sheet  which  is 
subjoined. 

Most  of  the  tables  of  deciles  are  supplemented  by  ordinary 
series  of  arithmetic  means  computed  from  the  tally-sheets  used 
for  finding  the  deciles.  The  chief  purpose  in  presenting  these 
arithmetic  means  is  to  facilitate  comparison  with  other  tables  of 
prices  for  the  same  or  different  years. 

IL— Relative  Prices  of  9:2  Commodities  at  Wholesale:  1860-1880, 

The  results  of  applying  the  methods  described  to  the  92  series 
of  relative  prices  at  wholesale  are  presented  in  Table  4.  The 
column  headed  '* Number  of  series'*  shows  for  each  date  how 
nuuiy  of  the  whole  number  of  series liave  quotations  on  that  date 
from  which  relative  prices  can  be  computed.  Generally  the  num- 
ber is  less  than  92,  because  many  of  the  original  sets  of  quotations 
are  not  complete  for  every  quarter  of  everj'  year.  The  other 
eohunns  are  to  be  interpreted  after  the  following  fashion:  In 
January,  18()5,  of  the  90  commodities  for  which  relative  prices 
are  available  one-tenth  had  relative  prices  ranging  between  89 
and  lt)0,  a  swond  tenth  had  relative  prices  ranging  between  160 
and  17l>,  a  third  tenth  between  176  and  191,  a  fourth  tenth  be- 
tween 191  and  200,  etc. 

On  studying  the  table  one  finds  that  the  wholesale  price- 
tluetuations  of  1860-1880  were  characterized  (1^  by  extraordin- 
ary diversity  in  the  degree  of  rise  and  fall  of  different  connuodi- 
ties.  and  (2)  by  a  sti^ongly  marked  upward  trend  culminating  in 
January,  1865,  and  a  stn^igly  marked  downward  trend  culminat- 
ing in  July,  1879.     Both  of  these  characteristics  require  analysis. 

The  extreme  diversity  in  the  price-movements  of  different 
iH>ninuHlitii*s  is  shown  by  the  wide  intervals  between  the  lowest 
and  highlit  relative  prices  on  each  date.  Some  commodity  had 
a  relative  price  less  than  liX>  on  ever>'  date  except  January.  1S66, 
and  some  comnioditv  stixxl  alxive  3(K>  everv  date  after  1861.     The

narrowest  range  after  t861  was  259  points  in  the  scale  of  relative 
prices  (October,  1870) ;  the  widest  range  was  1321  points  (July, 
1864,  when  cotton  had  a  relative  price  of  1410) ;  and  the  average 
range  was  422.5  points.  The  extremely  high  and  extremely  low 
relative  prices  are  shown,  however,  by  but  few  commodities.  Four- 
fifths  of  the  list  are  distributed  over  an  average  range  of  94.4 
points — less  than  a  quarter  of  the  average  extreme  range : — and 
two-fifths  over  an  average  range  of  but  33.7  points.  The  aver- 
age distribution  of  the  whole  number  of  series  over  the  field  cov- 
ered by  relative  prices  is  shown  by  Table  5.     The  diversity  in  the

price-fluctuations  of  different  commodities  is  also  shown  by  the 
fact  that  in  no  case  do  all  the  deciles  move  up  or  down  in  the  same 
decree,  and  in  few  cases — especially  after  1865 — do  all  agree  even 
in  the  direction  in  which  they  move.  Usually  when  the  majority 
of  the  deciles  are  rising  one  or  two  are  found  falling,  and  vice 
versa. 

Despite  all  these  diversities  in  the  fluctuations  of  different 
commodities  there  is  no  mistaking  a  general  trend  in  the  direction 
and,  to  a  less  extent,  in  the  degree  in  which  the  deciles  move 
from  date  to  date.  Prices  were  fairly  constant  throughout  1860, 
but  fell  sharply  in  the  spring  and  summer  of  1861,  apparently 
because  of. the  unsettled  business  conditions  due  to  the  secession

01  the  Southern  States  and  the  prospect  of  civil  war.  Towards 
autumn  a  reaction  began,  probably  initiated  by  larpje  government 
purchases  of  supplies.  The  upward  movement  continued  through 
1862,  save  for  a  slight  backset  in  April,  and  through  the  first 
quarter  of  1863,  the  chief  cause  probably  being  the  advance  in 
the  premium  on  gold — itself  due  to  the  decline  in  the  community's 
valuation  of  the  irredeemable  paper  dollars  in  which  prices  were 
quoted.  It  will  be  noticed  that  the  median  did  not  rise  above 
100  until  October,  1862,  though  the  other  deciles  indicate  a  strong 
forward  movement  as  early  as  January.  The  financial  successes 
of  the  spring  of  1863  and  the  militaiy  successes  of  July  caused  a 
great  appreciation  in  the  value  attributed  to  the  government's 
notes  and*produced  a  slight  fall  in  prices ;  but  this  improvement 
was  only  temporary.  Prices  started  upward  again  late  in  1863, 
rose  rapidly  throughout  1864  and  reached  their  maximum  in 
January,  1865,  when  59  out  of  90  commodities — almost  two-thirds 
— were  quoted  at  double  or  more  than  double  the  prices  of  five 
years  before.  Even  during  this  period  of  most  rapid  advance, 
however,  the  upward  movement  of  prices  was  not  without  excep- 
tions : — the  8th  decile  shows  a  decline  from  July  to  October,  1864, 
and  the  9th  from  October,  1864,  to  January,  1865. 

The  end  of  the  war  brought  a  fall  of  prices  almost  without  a 
parallel  in  violence  and  generality.  The  median  declined  from 
216  in  January,  1865,  to  158  in  July,  and  all  the  other  deciles 
went  down  with  it,  the  smallest  decline  being  48  points  (the  2d 
decile).  This  fall  was  followed  by  a  reaction  in  the  second  half 
of  the  year  which  carried  prices  in  January,  1866,  back  about  to 
the  level  of  April,  1864.  From  this  time  on  until  the  autumn  of 
1871  the  general  trend  of  prices  was  strongly  downward,  though 
the  fall  w^as  by  no  means  uniform  and  w-as  interrupted  by  several 
temporary  reactions.  The  lively  speculative  movement  of  the 
early  70 's,  which  caused  so  sharp  a  rise  in  English  and  Oerman 
prices,®  interrupted  this  fall  in  the  United  States,  though  the 
advances  scored  in  1872  and  the  first  part  of  1873  were  irregular. 
After  the  great  crisis  of  the  autumn  of  1873,  prices  began  to  fall 
again — slowly  at  first,  more    rapidly    after    1874.     In  January, 


•See  Tables  6,  7,  8,  10,  11,  and  12  below.

1878,  the  median  dipped  below  100  for  the  first  time  since  1861, 
and  the  fall  continued  until  the  middle  of  1879.  The  lowest  point 
touched  by  the  median  was  84  in  April,  but  comparisons  of  the 
other  deciles  show  that  the  range  of  prices  was  on  the  whole 
somewhat  lower  in  the  following  July. 

This  great  fall  of  prices  between  January,  1865,  and  July, 

1879,  was  coincident  wdth  irregular  appreciation  in  the  specie 
value  of  the  paper  dollar — an  appreciation  which  reached  its 
limit  with  the  resumption  of  specie  payments,  January  1,  1879. 
During  these  14  years  all  the  gain  in  prices  made  during  the  four 
years  of  war  was  lost,  and  something  more.  The  final  movement 
of  the  price-level  which  the  table  shows,  was  due  to  a  cause  quite 
unconnected  with  the  currency — namely,  the  European  crop  fail- 
ures of  1879 — and  can  be  discussed  better  in  a  later  section  of 
this  chapter  dealing  with  the  prices  of  farm  products.' 

///. — Relative  Prices  in  the  United  States  and  Foreign  Countries. 

When  two  countries  have  similar  monetary  systems  and  im- 
portant business  relations  with  each  other,  the  movements  of 
their  price-levels  as  represented  by  index  numbers  are  found  to 
agree  rather  closely.  This  agreement  is  so  strong  that  similarity 
of  movement  is  usually  found  even  when  comparisons  are  made 
with  materials  so  crude  as  index  numbers  compiled  from  unlike 
lists  of  commodities  and  computed  on  the  basis  of  actual  prices  in 
different  years.  It  is  therefore  a  highly  significant  fact  that  the 
movements  of  the  price-level  in  the  United  States  during  the  years 
of  the  paper  standard  were  almost  wholly  unlike  the  contempor- 
ary movements  of  the  price-level  in  England  and  Germany. 

To  facilitate  comparisons  between  the  movements  of  the  price- 
levels  in  these  three  countries.  Professor  Falkner  had  Sauerbeck's 
English  table,  and  Soetbeer's  German  table  recomputed  .on  the 
basis  of  his  own  American  table — namely,  actual  prices  in  1860  == 
100.®  The  results — reproduced  in  Table  6 — show  a  general  agree- 
ment between  the  English  and  German  index  numbers  and 
marked  differences  between  both  of  these  index  numbers  and  the

American  index  numbers  during  the  period  of  the  greenback 
standard.  These  differences  are  greatest  during  the  years  of  high 
premiums  on  gold  and  decline  with  the  premium  as  the  date  of 
resumption  is  approached.  After  resumption,  indeed,  the  figures 
indicate  a  closer  agreement  between  relative  prices  in  the  United 
States  and  Germany  than  between  relative  prices  in  England  and

Germany;  but  this  result  may  be  due  chiefly  to  the  closer  sim- 
ilarity of  the  American  and  German  list  of  commodities. 

To  show  more  fully  the  peculiarity  of  the  American  price- 
fluctuations  during  the  period  of  the  paper  standard,  I  have  com- 
piled tables  of  deciles  from  Sauerbeck's  and  Soetbeer's  series  re- 
computed on  the  basis  of  prices  in  1860.  The  rough  comparison 
which  can  be  made  between  these  tables — 7  and  8 — and  the 
similar  table  for  the  United  States — 4 — ^suffices  to  show  that,  the 
American  movement  was  unlike  the  European  not  only  in  net 
effect,  but  also  in  range  and  distribution  of  fluctuations.  This 
fact  is  brought  out  more  clearly  by  Table  9,  w^hich  shows  the 
averages  of  the  several  deciles  in  each  of  the  tables  and  the  aver- 
age intervals  between  them.  Such  an  exhibit  would  possess  little 
significance  were  the  American  deciles  sometimes  above  and  some- 
times below  the  corresponding  foreign  deciles ;  but  since  they  are

above  almost  all  the  time  the  table  has  a  certain  value  as  express- 
ing the  broad  differences  between  American  and  foreign  condi- 
tions. The  comparisons  between  the  English  and  German  price- 
movements  suggested  by  the  table,  however,  must  be  made  with 
many  reservations,  because  in  this  case  the  differences  are  some- 
times in  favor  of  one  country,  sometimes  in  favor  of  the  other. 

A  more  accurate,  though  narrower,  basis  for  comparison  may 
be  had  by  compiling  price-tables  for  identical  lists  of  commodities. 
For  27  of  the  commodities  used  by  Sauerbeck,  and  for  46  of  the 
commodities  used  by  Soetbeer,  substantially  similar  American 
quotations  can  be  obtained  by  using  averages  of  four  quarterly 
quotations  as  average  prices  for  the  year.  The  relative  prices 
for  all  these  pairs  of  commodities  are  shown  in  the  appendix,  and 
the  general  results  are  shown  by  Tables  10  and  11.  The  same 
method  is  applied  in  Table  12  to  show  the  close  similarity  in  the 
fluctuations  of  English  and  German  prices.  This  table  is  com- 
piled from  the  relative  prices  of  31  commodities  which  appear  in

both  Sauerbeck's  and  Soetbeer's  lists.  These  tables  make  it  clear 
that  the  wide  differences  shown  by  Tables  4,  6,  7,  and  8  between 
American  and  European  price-fluctuations  from  1862  to  1878  are 
not  due  to  differences  in  the  character  and  the  number  of  the  com- 
modities included  in  Falkner's,  Sauerbeck's  and  Soetbeer's  tables. 
The  close  agreement  between  the  English  and  German  figures  of 
Table  12  leave  small  room  to  doubt  that  the  differences  between 
the  American  and  English  figures  of  Table  10,  and  between  the 
American  and  German  figures  of  Table  11,  must  be  ascribed 
mainly  to  the  influence  of  the  paper  standard  of  value.® 

IV. — Relative  Prices  of  Commodities  and  of  Gold. 

One  of  the  questions  of  deep  interest  regarding  the  price- 
fluctuations  of  the  paper  standard  period  is  the  degree  of  their 
correspondence  with  the  fluctuations  in  the  price  of  gold.  Table 
13  is  arranged  to  facilitate  a  comparison.  One  s6t  of  columns 
gives  the  wholesale  price  figures  of   Table   4,   side  by  side  with 

TABLE  13. 

Relative  wholesale  prices  of  commodities  in  the  United  States  and  the  price 

of  gold :  by  quarters,  1S62- 1878.

'In  such  small  groups  as  those  used  here  the  median  is  a  rather  erratic 
form  of  average,  because  it  is  frequently  controlled  within  limits  of  several 
points  by  the  fluctuations  of  some  one  or  two  commodities  whose  relative 
prices  happen  to  fall  in  the  middle  of  the  list.  The  arithmetic  mean  is 
also  erratic,  particularly  for  the  years  of  the  war,  because  it  is  so  much  in- 
fluenced by  cases  of  extraordinary  advance  in  price,  such  as  that  presented 
by  cotton.

another  set  giving  the  corresponding  lowest,  highest  and  average 
prices  of  gold  from  Table  2.  The  average  price  of  gold  for  each 
month  is  entered  opposite  the  decile  which  it  most  nearly  equals, 
and  the  lowest  and  highest  monthly  prices  are  placed  as  best  may 
be  on  either  side  of  the  average.  Thus  the  vertical  position  of 
the  entries  in  the  columns  for  gold  indicates  roughly  whether  on 
any  date  gold  stood  above  or  below  the  majority  of  commodities 
in  relative  price.  There  is^  of  course,  no  objection  to  this  com- 
parison between  the  actual  prices  of  gold  and  the  relative  prices 
of  commodities :  for  since  the  price  of  gold  in  currency  was  lOD 
before  suspension,  its  later  actual  prices  may  be  regarded  as  rela- 
tive prices  computed  on  the  basis :  actual  price  in  1860  =  100. 

A  fuller  presentation  of  the  data  for  gold  and  commodities 
is  supplied  in  graphic  form  by  Chart  III.  The  lines  running 
across  the  chart  show  the  fluctuations  of  the  deciles  and  of  the 
highest  and  lowest  relative  prices  at  wholesale  by  quarters.  The 
vertical  lines  show  the  extreme  range  of  the  gold  quotations  by 
months. 

The  table  and  the  chart  make  it  clear  that  the  fluctuations  in 
the  price  of  gold,  which  attracted  so  much  attention,  were  much 
more  moderate  than  the  extreme  fluctuations  in  the  prices  of  com- 
modities.    The  gold  quotations  lay  all  the  time  well  within  the 


MlA^ 


40         University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  1 

outer  limits  of  the  field  covered  by  the  variations  of  commodity 
prices.  If  attention  be  confined  to  the  average  prices  of  gold  in 
the  months  for  which  we  have  commodities  quoted,  it  appears 
that  every  quarter  more  than  a  fifth  of  our  92  commodities  had 
relative  prices  higher  than  gold,  and  that  every  quarter  but  two — 
April,  1865  and  October,  1872— more  than  a  fifth  of  the  commodi- 
ties had  lower  relative  prices  than  gold.  If  the  extreme  prices 
of  gold  be  taken,  one  more  quarter  is  found  when  the  price  of 
gold  was  lower  than  the  2d  decile — April,  1866 — and  three  cases 
appear  when  the  highest  price  of  gold  rose  above  the  8th  decile — 
October,  1862,  January,  1863,  and  July,  1864.  There  is  no  ex- 
ception to  the  rule  that  the  gold  quotations  lay  always  inside  the 
1st  and  9th  deciles ; — in  other  words  that  more  than  one-tenth  of 
the  commodities  had  lower  relative  prices  than  gold  and  more 
than  a  tenth  had  higher  relative  prices.^** 

But  the  limits  set  by  the  1st  and  9th  deciles — or  even  the  2d 
and  8th — are  wide,  and  it  is  interesting  to  examine  the  fluctua- 
tions of  gold  within  these  limits  more  closely.  During  the  war 
gold  moved  up  or  down  in  price  more  quickly  than  the  mass  of 
commodities — probably  because  the  market  for  gold  was  more 
highly  organized  and  more  sensitive  than  the  markets  for  other 
goods  to  the  many  influences  touching  the  credit  of  the  govern- 
ment-notes which  formed  the  money  in  which  all  prices  were 
quoted.  When  gold  was  rising  in  price  the  majority  of  com- 
modities followed,  but  more  slowly,  and  its  price  therefore  ad- 
vanced above  the  median,  and  sometimes,  as  has  been  seen,  stood 
briefly  above  the  8th  decile.  When  gold  was  falling  in  price  the 
majority  of  commodities  stood  still  or  followed  more  slowly,  and 
the  gold  quotation  then  dropped  below  the  median,  and  sometimes 
even  below  the  2d  decile. 

This  more  sluggish  movement  of  commodity  prices  appears 
still  more  clearly  after  the  war.  Rapid  as  was  the  fall  of  prices 
in  the  spring  of  1865,  it  was  not  so  rapid  as  the  fall  in  gold.  A 
more  curious  fact  is  that  the  price-level  for  commodities  continued 
for  ten  years  to  be  rather  higher  than  the  price-level  for  gold. 
From  April,  1865  to  April,  1875  the  median  of  relative  prices  was

always  higher  than  the  highest  quotation  for  gold  in  January, 
April,  July  or  October,  and  on  only  one  date — July,  1868 — did 
gold  touch  even  the  4th  decile.  On  the  whole,  the  average  gold 
quotations  correspond  more  nearly  with  the  3d  than  with  any. 
other  decile  during  this  period.  From  1875  to  the  end  of  1878, 
however,  commodity  prices  fell  on  the  whole  faster  than  gold,  so 
that  the  average  gold  quotation  stood  for  a  time  above  the  4th 
decile,  then  above  the  median,  and  finally  above  the  6th  decile. 

It  was  shown  in  Chapter  I  that  the  history  of  the  gold  premium 
is  divided  into  four  well-marked  periods.  The  first  of  these  periods 
— 1862  to  April,  1865 — is'also  a  natural  subdivision  of  the  history 
of  prices.  But  the  same  is  hardly  true  of  the  later  periods. 
Prices  declined  with  tolerable  consistency  from  1866  to  1869, 
while  gold,  despite  continual  ups  and  downs,  maintained  substan- 
tially the  same  general  level.  Again,  the  last  three  months  of 
1869  and  the  first  two  months  of  1870  marked  a  turning-point  in 
the  price  of  gold,  but  not  in  the  prices  of  commodities.  After 
February,  1870  gold  fluctuated  about  a  much  lower  level  than 
that  of  1866  to  1869,  but  without  making  any  substantial  further 
decline  until  1876.  Commodity  prices,  however,  after  a  slight 
and  irregular  rise  in  the  early  70 's,  resumed  their  downward 
trend,  and  stood  considerably  lower  by  the  close  of  1875  than  they 
had  stood  in  1870.  Finally,  the  almost  unbroken  fall  of  gold 
from  March,  1876,  to  December,  1878  was  accompanied  by  a  fall 
of  prices,  but  one  considerably  greater  in  degree,  and  this  fall 
appears  to  be  but  a  continuation  of  the  decline  which  had  begun 
definitely  in  1875.  The  most  important  turning  points  in  the 
history  of  prices  after  the  war,  in  brief,  are  not  those  of  gold — 
the  close  of  1869  and  the  beginning  of  1876 — but  the  speculative 
movements  of  1872,  the  crisis  of  1873,  and  the  harvests  of  1879. 

The  tables  of  the  preceding  section,  showing  the  wide  differ- 
ences between  the  relative  prices  of  identical  lists  of  commodities 
in  the  United  States  and  England  and  in  the  United  States  and 
Germany,  support  the  conclusions  (1)  that  the  chief  cause  of  the 
extraordinary  advance  in  American  prices  between  1862  and  1865 
was  the  substitution  of  irredeemable  paper  for  specie  as  the  money 
in  which  prices  were  quoted,  and  (2)  that  the  chief  cause  of  the 
fall  in  American  prices  between  1865  and  1879  was  the  unsteady 


42         University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics,    f  Vol.  1 

appreciation  in  the  specie  value  of  the  paper  dollar.  These  con- 
clusions are  not  inconsistent  with  the  various  differences  which 
have  just  been  pointed  out  between  the  fluctuations  of  commodity 
prices  and  prices  of  gold.  These  differences  serve  only  to  empha- 
size the  fact  that  many  other  causes  besides  the  varying  value 
attributed  by  the  community  to  the  government's  notes  exercised 
an  influence  upon  the  prices  of  single  commodities  and  upon  the 
price-level  as  a  whole.  It  does  not  lie  within  the  scope  of  this 
book  to  inquire  what  these  other  causes  were ;  but  the  tables  given, 
while  indicating  their  presence,  also  indicate  their  secondary  im- 
portance.^* 

V. — Relative  Prices  on  the  Dates  of  Maximum  and  Minimum 

Prices, 

Though  Table  4  represents  the  extraordinary  fluctuations  in 
prices  during  the  period  of  the  greenback  standard  much  more 
fully  than  a  table  of  arithmetic  means,  it  does  not  present  all  the 
details  shown  by  the  material  used.  To  do  so  it  would  be  neces- 
sary to  publish  the  84  tally-sheets  from  which  the  table  of  deciles 
was  compiled,  each  tally-sheet  elaborated  by  writing  the  names  of 
the  92  commodities  at  the  proper  points  in  the  scale  of  relative 
prices.  But  though  so  full  a  presentation  is  not  feasible,  it  is. 
feasible  to  present  such  elaborated  tally-sheets  for  the  date  when 
prices  reached  their  highest  point,  January,  1865  and  when  they 
reached  their  lowest  point  during  the  subsequent  decline,  July, 
1879 — six  months  after  resumption  of  specie  payments. 

In  the  first  of  thase  tables  the  prominence  of  southern  ma- 
terials and  their  products  among  the  commodities  which  show  the 
greatest  advance  in  prices  attracts  attention — rice,  tobacco,  mo- 
lasses, tar,  turpentine,  cotton,  and  cotton  textiles.  Associated 
with  them  are  a  few  commodities  of  which  the  government  was 
purchasing  large  amounts — quinine  and  lead — ,  or  on  which  the 
rate  of  taxation  was  exceptionally  heavy — alcohol.  But  the  ca.ses 
are  not  numerous  in  which  the  explanation  of  the  divergencies 
from  the  general  trend  occur  at  once  to  one  who  has  not  made 
a  special  study  of  the  demand  and  supply  of  the  commodities 

"  Discussion  of  the  reasons  why  wholesale  prices  corresponded  in  general 
with  the  fluctuations  of  the  premium  and  also  why  the  correspondence  was 
not  closer,  is  reserved  for  the  last  chapter.

represented.  Indeed,  there  are  cases  which  contradict  casual 
expectations.  Wool,  which  might  be  expected  to  show  a  large  ad- 
vance in  view  of  the  scarcity  of  cotton  and  large  government  pur- 
chases of  uniforms,  has  a  relative  price  less  than  the  median; 
** powder — rifle,''  which  might  be  expected  to  show  the  influence 
of  the  great  consumption  of  gunpowder,  ranks  below  the  3d 
decile.  More  important  is  the  observ^ation  that,  excepting  the 
cases  already  noted,  there  is  no  apparent  difference  in  kind,  place 
of  origin,  or  use  between  the  commodities  ranking  below  the 
median  and  those  ranking  above  it.  Commodities  related  in 
origin  or  use — like  corn  and  corn-meal,  wool  and  cotton  or  wool 
and  carpets,  hogs  and  salt  pork,  wheat  and  oats — are  often  found 
on  opposite  sides  of  this  dividing  line  at  considerable  distances 
from  each  other,  while  heterogeneous  commodities  are  frequently 
found  next  each  other.  The  upper  and  lower  halves  of  the  list 
are  about  equally  miscellaneous  in  their  contents. 

Passing  from  this  exhibit  for  January,  1865,  to  that  for  July, 
1879,  the  attention  is  caught  by  the  great  change  in  the  scale  of 
relative  prices.  Every  decile  in  1879,  eyen  the  1st,  is  more  than 
100  points  below  the  corresponding  decile  in  1865.  Only  one 
commodity  in  the  list  shows  an  increase  in  price — quinine:  and 
only  one  remains  stable — matches;  all  the  others  fall.  It  is  sig- 
nificant that  the  one  commodity  which  remains  stable  in  price  is 
raised  in  rank  by  the  decline  of  other  commodities  from  a  place 
below  the  median  in  1865  to  the  third  place  from  the  top  of  the 
scale  in  1879.  But  though  the  fall  in  prices  was  so  nearly  uni- 
versal, it  was  marked  by  the  usual  irregularities  in  degree.  As  a 
result,  the  grouping  of  commodities  is  greatly  changed.  To  show 
the  changes  more  clearly  I  have  introduced  into  the  tables  for 
each  of  these  dates  columns  showing  (1)  the  relative  prices  of 
each  commodity  on  the  other  date,  and  (2)  the  group,  marked  off 
by  the  deciles,  to  which  it  then  belonged.  These  columns  show 
that  only  H  commodities  of  the  89  for  which  relative  prices  are 
given  on  both  dates,  remained  in  the  same  group  in  1879  as  in 
1865,  and  that  42  commodities  crossed  from  the  lower  half  of 
the  table  in  1865  to  the  upper  half  in  1879,  or  vice  versa.  But 
thLs  shifting  in  relative  positions  does  not  produce  any  clearer 
grouping  of  commodities  by  kinds,  place  of  origin,  or  use  than

existed  in  1865.  Unlike  commodities  are  often  side  by  side,  and 
related  commodities  are  often  widely  separated.  A  plausible  ex- 
planation of  the  relative  price  of  each  commodity  could  probably 
be  given  by  one  who  had  made  a  technical  study  of  the  market 
conditions  affecting  it;  but  no  broad  differences  are  apparent 
between  the  character  6f  the  commodities  in  the  two  halves  of  the 
list.  -• 

VI. — Relative  Wholesale   Prices   of  Farm  Products  and  Other 

Commodities. 

There  is  one  class  of  commodities  included  in  Table  4  which 
it  is  interesting  to  segregate  for  special  study — farm  products. 
The  results  of  segregation  are  shown  in  Table  16  which  gives  de- 
ciles for  the  22  commodities  produced  by  farmers,  and  for  the  70 
commodities  which  remain  of  the  original  list.*- 

According  to  this  table  the  prices  of  farm  products  rose  less 
promptly  under  the  stimulus  of  the  greenback  issues  than  did  the 
prices  of  other  commodities.  Cotton,  tobacco,  and  rice  of  course 
are  exceptions  to  the  rule,  and  in  a  table  of  arithmetic  means 
would  affect  the  averages  strongly ;  but  in  a  table  of  deciles  their 
eccentricities  can  disturb  nothing  but  the  highest  relative  prices 
and  the  ninth  deciles.  Because  of  the  wide  seasonal  fluctuations 
in  the  prices  of  agricultural  products  they  are  expected  to  have 
higher  relative  prices  than  other  commodities  in  January  and 
April,  and  lower  relative  prices  in  July  and  October — provided 
the  average  relative  prices  for  the  whole  year  are  the  same  for 
both  groups.  But  it  was  not  until  1865  that  even  the  January 
figures  show  farm  products  distinctly  in  the  lead  and  this  posi- 
tion they  promptly  lost  again. 

As  farm  products  rose  less  rapidly  during  the  war,  so  they

entered  on  the  rapid  decline  following  the  crisis  of  1873,  farm 
products  once  more  moved  more  sluggishly,  and  as  a  result  their 
relative  prices  were  on  the  whole  higher  for  every  quarter  from 
1874  to  1879,  with  the  exception  of  July,  1876,  and  July,  1878. 

In  the  final  movement  of  the  price-level  which  the  table  shows, 
however,  farm  products  took  the  lead.  This  fact  was  due  to  the 
peculiar  character  of  the  conditions  which  produced  the  move- 
ment. The  European  harvests  of  1879  were  very  much  below 
their  average  in  quantity  and  quality.  The  result  was  an  enor- 
mous export  demand  for  American  breadstuffs — a  demand  so 
large  that  it  carried  prices  very  high,  despite  the  large  supplies 
which  an  exceptionally  favorable  season  in  the  United  States  pro- 
vided.  The  advance  in  the  prices  of  other  commodities  was  in 
large  measure  a  result  of  this  advance  in  the  prices  of  breadstuffs. 
Farmers  selling  large  crops  at  high  prices  in  their  turn  bought 
very  freely  and  this  brisk  demand  affected  directly  or  indirectly 
the  price  of  nearly  every  commodity. 

In  Table  16  all  of  the  commodities  are  treated  as  having  the 
same  importance.  But  if  it  is  desired  to  use  the  table  of  prices 
of  farm  products  in  investigating  the  business  prosperity  of  the 
farmers  it  is  necessary  to  recognize  the  wide  differences  between 
different  products  as  sources  of  income.  Estimates  for  this  pur- 
pose can  be  made  better  if  four  classes  of  farmers  be  taken  sep- 
arately— (1)  grain  farmers,  (2)  stock  farmers,  (3)  dairy  farmers, 


1908]         Mitchell— Gold.  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  55 

and  (4)  cotton  planters.  Figrures  indicating  the  relative  money 
value  of  the  more  important  jjrain  crops — based  on  census  returns 
of  yields  in  1860,  1870,  and  1880,  and  price  estimates  made  by 
the  Department  of  Agriculture — are  published  in  the  Aldrich 
Rcport.^^  For  the  relative  importance  of  cattle,  sheep,  and  hojrs 
as  farm  products  I  have  been  able  to  find  no  j;ood  contemporary 
estimates,  and  have  therefore  used  figures  (43.3  per  cent,  for 
cattle,  5.1  per  cent,  for  sheep,  51.6  per  cent,  for  hogs)  ba.sed  on 
census  estimates  of  animals  slaughtered  on  farms  and  sold  by 
farmers  for  slaughter  in  1899.**  A  similar  set  of  weights  was 
obtained  from  the  Twelfth  Census  for  milk,  butter,  and  cheese; 
but  I  have  refrained  from  using  it,  because  the  market  for  the 
most  important  of  these  articles — milk — was  strictly  a  local  mar- 
ket from  1860  to  1880.  It  would  be  absurd  to  treat  our  single 
series  of  quotations  from  New  York  City  for  milk  in  the  same 
way  as  w^e  treat  Chicago  quotations  for  wheat  or  hogs.  Finally, 
cotton  stands  by  itself  and  requires  no  weighting. 

For  these  weighted  series  there  is  no  point  in  computing  de- 
ciles. A  farmer's  money  income  is  to  him  a  w-hole — not  an  ag- 
gregate of  successive  tenths  in  each  of  which  he  sees  a  separate 
significance  aside  from  its  contribution  to  the  whole.  The  pur- 
pose of  the  present  computations  is  to  approximate  the  influence 
of  price-fluctuations  on  the  money  incomes  of  certain  classes  of 
farmers,  and  the  most  significant  form  of  average  is  the  arith- 
metic mean. 

The  results,  as  set  forth  in  Table  17,  require  no  restatement 
in  words.  But  it  is  desirable  to  enter  a  warning  against  taking 
the  figures  too  literally.     The  original  data  are  prices  in  im-

In  computing  these  weights  for  grain  farms  I  have  taken  but  half  the

on  stock  farms  and  fed  to  hogs  or  cattle.  .

portant  markets,  but  they  cannot  be  assumed  to  represent  the 
prices  realized  by  every  farmer  in  the  country.  For  many  farm 
products  we  have  either  no  price  quotations,  or  no  estimates  of 
relative  importance.  Even  for  the  products  included  in  the  table 
these  estimates  of  importance  are  merely  rou«;h  approximations. 
Most  important  of  all,  variations  in  the  prices  of  their  products  is 
only  one  factor  in  determining:  the  business  prosperity  of  farm- 
ers:— variations  in  yields  are  probably  more  important,  and 
there  are  numerous  other  factors  by  no  means  ne^liprible.  The 
extraordinarily  h\^\\  prices  of  cotton  durinj?  the  war,  for  example, 
do  not  mean  prosperity  for  the  planter. 

VII . — Arithmetic  Means  of  Relative  Prices  at  Wholesale — Folk- 

ver's  and  Dun's  Index  Numbers. 

The  tables  of  deciles,  on  which  the  main  reliance  has  been 
placed  in  this  chapter,  have  three  disadvanta^res : — they  are  un- 
familiar to  readei"s,  they  cannot  well  be  compared  with  other 
tables  of  relative  prices,  and  they  show  details  with  a  fullness 
which  for  some  purposes  is  embarrassinjx.  It  is  therefore  desira- 
ble to  supplement  the  preceding  tables  with  one  which  pfives  the 


58  University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  1 

eomnion  form  of  average,  side  by  side  with  Falkner's  and  Dun's 
well-known  index  numbers. 

Concerning  the  fii*st  two  eolumns  in  the  following  table  noth- 
ing need  be  said  except  that  the  prices  of  gold  are  taken  from 
Table  2,  and  the  medians  from  Table  4.  The  arithmetic  means 
of  the  third  column  have  been  computed  from  the  tally  sheets 

m 

used  in  finding  the  deciles.  They  are  *' simple''  averages  of  the 
familiar  type.  Objection  has  frequently  been  made  to  arithmetic 
means  as  a  form  of  average  for  index  numbers  on  the  ground 
that  while  relative  prices  may  rise  thousands  of  points  above  100, 
they  cannot  fall  more  than  100  points.  An  advance  on  the  part 
of  one  series  to  500  points  may  well  be  regarded  as  less  remarkable 
than  the  fall  of  another  series  to  20 ;  but  the  first  change  would 
exercise  far  more  influence  on  the  arithmetic  mean  than  the 
second.  This  objection  applies  with  especial  force  to  a  table  of 
prices  for  the  years  of  the  civil  war,  when  a  few  commodities  like 
cotton,  alcohol,  tar,  etc.,  rose  to  such  extraordinary  heights.  The 
effect  of  such  cases  on  the  arithmetic  mean  is  shown  by  the  fact 
that  in  9  of  the  84  quarters  covered  by  the  table  the  arithmetic 
mean  equals  or  exceeds  the  7th  decile ;  in  36  more  cases  it  equals 
or  exceeds  the  6th  decile ;  in  35  more  cases  it  exceeds  the  median. 
Only  three  times  does  it  coincide  with  the  median — July,  1860, 
January,  1861,  July,  1869 — ,  and  only  once  is  it  less  than  the 
median — July,  1861.  The  arithmetic  mean,  indeed,  corresponds 
nuich  more  closely  to  the  6th  decile  than  to  the  median,  and  lies 
more  often  above  it  than  below. ^'^  The  median,  while  not  affected 
by  these  cases  of  extraordinary  advance  in  price,  is  rather  erratic 
within  limits  of  several  points,  because  its  precise  position  is  often 
dependent  on  the  relative  price  of  a  single  commodity  which 
stands  in  the  middle  of  the  scale  of  relative  prices.     In  short, 

"  The  reason  why  the  arithmetic  mean  is  not  100  in  January,  1860,  is  that 
the  relative  prices  of  a  number  of  commodities,  particularly  farm  products, 
were  computed  on  the  basis  of  the  average  of  four  quarterly  quotations,  and 
the  January  quotation  is  in  most  eases  somewhat  higher  than  the  average. 

Both  the  medians  and  the  arithmetic  means  for  1860  to  1865  in  this  table 
diflFer  somewhat  from  the  corresponding  figures  in  Table  XIV  of  A  History 
of  the  GreenbackSf  (p.  256).  The  differences  are  due  to  changes  in  the  list 
of  commodities  used — necessary  in  e^ptcnding  the  table  from  1865  to  1880 — 
and  to  changes  in  the  grouping  of  certain  related  commodities.  Of  course 
slight  changes  in  the  data  employed  in  compiling  a  table  of  prices  alter  the 
averages  obtained  more  seriously  at  a  time  when  the  range  of  variation  in 
prices  is  very  wide  than  at  a  time  of  comparative  stability  of  prices.

neither  form  of  average  by  itself  is  wholly  satisfactory ;  not  only 
because  neither  shows  the  range  and  distribution  of  the  relative 
prices  of  the  whole  list  of  commodities,  but  also  because  neither 
is  free  from  arbitrary  and  unrepresentative  influences.  A 
** smoothed'*  curve  based  on  the  medians  would  probably  be  the 
most  satisfactory  single  series  of  averages;  but  no  single  set  of 
averages  tells  as  much  as  the  table  of  deciles. 

The  next  two  columns  in  the  table  show  Falkner's  familiar 
index  numbers  from  the  Aldrich  Report.^**  These  index  numbers 
are  arithmetic  means  made  from  the  relative  prices  of  some  230 
nominally  distinct  commodities.  The  second  series  was  weighted 
by  figures  drawn  from  budgets  of  family  expenditure.  The  dif- 
ferences between  the  single  and  weighted  series  is  considerable 
for  the  years  of  the  war,  but  small  for  most  of  the  later  years. 
The  simple  average  agrees  with  the  median  of  the  quarterly  table 
more  closely  on  the  whole  than  with  the  arithmetic  mean ;  but  the 
weighted  average  agrees  more  closely  with  the  arithmetic  mean 
than  with  the  median.  From  1862  to  1864,  Falkner\s  simple 
average  is  higher  than  the  arithmetic  mean  of  the  quarterly  table 
— partly  because  Falkner  did  not  group  in  a  single  series  the  nu- 
merous varieties  of  cotton  textiles,  all  of  which  rose  violently  in 
price ;  partly  because  his  practice  of  using  July  instead  of  Janu- 
ary quotations  for  certain  conmiodities  gives  these  connnodities 
higher  relative  prices  in  his  table  than  they  have  for  January  in 
the  quarterly  table  during  years  when  prices  were  rising  rapidly.^^ 
From  1865  to  1880  his  simple  averages  are  always  lower  than  my 
arithmetic  means.  In  1865  the  chief  reason  for  the  wide  differ- 
ence is  that  July  quotations  are  much  lower  than  January  quota- 
tions. In  later  years  when  prices  were  changing  more  slowly, 
this  factor  is  of  less  consequence,  and  the  chief  reason  seems  to 
be  Falkner 's  use  of  slightly  different  kinds  of  the  same  com- 
modity as  independent  series.  It  so  happens  that  in  the  cases 
where  Falkner  uses  series  for  several  varieties  of  one  commodity 
these  series  rank  more  often  below  than  above  the  general  aver- 
age. Such  is  emphatically  the  case  in  the  most  conspicuous  in- 
stance— that  of  the  25  series  for  different  kinds  of  pocket  knives.

To  test  the  effect  of  this  factor  I  have  recomputed  Falkner's  in- 
dex number  for  1880  from  his  own  relative  prices  after  grouping 
the  closely  related  commodities  as  they  are  grouped  in  the  quart- 
erly table,  and  find  that  the  simple  average  is  112.8  instead  of 
106.9.  This  new  result  is  much  closer  to  the  arithmetic  mean  of 
the  quarterly  table  (114)  than  to  Falkner's  own  average.  A 
part  of  the  difference  between  his  and  my  arithmetic  means,  how- 
ever, is  due  to  the  inclusion  of  commodities  in  Falkner's  table  for 
which  quarterly  prices  are  not  available,  and  to  the  inclusion  in 
the  quarterly  table  of  several  farm  products  put  by  Falkner  in  a 
separate  table. 

Falkner 's  weighted  average  is  open  to  two  important  criti- 
cisms in  addition  to  those  which  may  be  passed  on  his  simple 
average:  (1)  as  has  been  said,  the  plan  of  applying  weights 
drawn  from  family  expenditures  in  purchases  at  retail  to  series 
of  relative  prices  at  wholesale  is  illogical;  (2)  the  articles  for 
which  Falkner  had  wholesale  prices  and  to  which  he  applied  the 
weights  are  in  large  part  not  articles  which  enter  into  family  con- 
sumption, but  raw  materials  from  which  consumption  goods  are 
produced  or  articles  which  a  family  does  not  consume  in  any  form 
— for  example,  anvils  and  circular  saws. 

The  last  column  in  the  table  shows  Dun's  index  number  for 
July  of  each  year  changed  into  a  series  of  relative  numbers  on  the 
basis,  July,  1860=100.  As  originally  computed,  this  index  num- 
ber professes  to  show  the  sum  of  the  actual  prices  of  a  large  num- 
ber of  necessary  articles  each  weighted  according  to  annual  per 
capita  consumption  in  the  United  States.  The  relative  figures 
given  in  the  table  show  more  violent  oscillations  than  any  of  the 
other  series.  On  the  whole  they  differ  somewhat  less  from  the 
medians  than  from  the  arithmetic  means  of  the  quarterly  table. 
The  value  of  Dun's  index  number,  however,  as  an  indication  of 
changes  in  the  price-level  will  remain  uncertain  until  its  com- 
pilers publish  the  list  of  commodities  used,  the  sources  from  which 
their  quotations  were  obtained,  and  the  methods  by  which  their 
weights  were  computed.

CHAPTER  III. 
Prices  of  Commodities  at  Retail. 

/. — Material  and  Methods. 

The  material  available  for  the  investigation  of  fluctuations 
in  retail  prices  during  the  years  of  the  paper  standard  does  not 
include  so  many  commodities  as  the  material  for  wholesale  prices, 
and  was  not  collected  with  as  much  care.  The  only  large  collec- 
tion of  data  is  the  * '  Report  on  the  Average  Retail  Prices  of  Neces- 
saries of  Life  in  the  United  States/'  prepared  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Joseph  D.  Weeks,  and  published  in  volume  20  of  the  Tenth 
Census.^  To  gather  information  Mr.  Weeks  drew  up  a  special 
schedule  on  which  appeared  the  names  of  60  *  *  necassaries  of  life" 
and  spaces  for  entering  their  retail  prices  for  the  years  1851  to 
1880.  He  sent  copies  to  shop-keepers  in  a  large  number  of  towns, 
requesting  them  to  enter  the  prices  of  as  many  of  the  articles  as 
they  could,  and  for  as  many  years.  The  60  necessaries  were  sub- 
divided into  provisions;  groceries,  etc.  (including  coal,  w^ood,  and 
oil) ;  domestic  dry  goods,  etc.  (including  boots)  ;  house-rent,  and 
board.  Spaces  were  provided  for  entering  the  name,  address, 
and  line  of  business  of  the  person,  firm,  or  corporation  making 
the  return.  By  way  of  directions  this  note  was  prefixed  to  the 
list  of  necessaries:  **In  filling  out  this  table  please  give  retail 
prices  and  prices  that  will  be  a  fair  average  for  the  year,  if  pos- 
sible. If  this  cannot  be  done,  give  prices  on  or  about  June  1st 
of  each  year. ' '  At  the  end  of  the  list  there  was  added :  ' '  Please 
state  if  prices  are  average  prices  per  year  or  prices  on  or  about 
June  1.' '2 

Four  hundred  and  nine  of  these  schedules  were  filled  in  and 
returned  to  the  Census  Office  by  shop-keepers  in  16  states  ranging 
from  Massachusetts  to  Florida  and  Missouri.     Some  gave  prices 


*  Hereafter  referred  to  as  *  *  Weeks  *8  Report  on  Retail  Prices.  * ' 

*  This  schedule  is  not  published  in  Weeks 's  Report,  but  may  be  found 
in  Wright  and  Hunt's  Historic  and  Growth  of  the  United  States  Census, 
(56th  Congress,  Ist  session,  Senate  Doc.  No.  194),  pp.  867,  868. 


64         University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  1 

for  only  a  few  years,  a  few  ran  back  to  1851.  Mr.  Weeks  pub- 
lished the  returns  substantially  as  he  received  them  without 
making  any  attempt  to  show  the  drift  of  the  changes  in  prices. 
For  this  reason  later  students  of  prices  have  practically  ignored 
his  report.  They  could  not  utilize  it  without  a  laborious  and 
expensive  process  of  computing  relative  prices  and  striking 
averages. 

The  value  of  the  material  collected  in  this  fashion  is  open  to 
some  doubt.  It  certainly  cannot  be  used  safely  to  investigate 
the  retail  prices  of  commodities  in  different  towns  at  the  same 
time.  For  the  descriptions  of  the  commodities  listed  on  the 
schedules  were  so  brief  as  to  give  no  assurance  that  the  articles 
quoted  by  different  shop-keepers  were  identical  in  grade  or  qual- 
ity. Mr.  Weeks,  however,  thought  it  **fair  to  presume  that  in  a 
given  tabulation  the  price  of  the  same  quality  or  grade  of  each 
article,  as  near  as  is  possible,  is  quoted  for  the  different  years, 
as  the  report  is  made  by  the  same  person  and  of  the  prices  at 
the  same  shop.  ^'-^  On  this  assumption  the  data  may  be  used  for 
investigating  the  changes  in  the  level  of  retail  prices  from  year 
to  year — though  not  without  serious  reservations.  It  is  probable 
that  the  quality  of  the  provisions,  groceries,  and  dry-goods  sold 
by  the  same  retail  shops  under  the  same  names,  differed  more 
from  year  to  year  than  the  quality  of  the  staple  commodities  for 
which  we  have  wholesale  prices.  But  this  admission  detracts  less 
from  the  value  of  the  data  as  material  for  the  study  of  changes 
in  the  money  cast  of  living  than  from  its  value  as  material  for 
studving  the  relations  between  prices  at  wholesale  and  at  retail. 
For  eonsumeis  buy  the  goods  which  shop-keepers  have  in  stock, 
and  when  a  new  make  of  flour  or  a  new  pattern  of  ginghams  is 
introduced  aud  sold  as  a  staple  in  place  of  the  old  there  is  no 
objection  to  usini  its  price.  Indeed,  no  other  course  is  feasible, 
because  ino.st  consumption  goods  are  continually  luidergoing 
minor  modifications  in  quality. 

Another  some  of  doubt  about  the  data  is  the  accuracy  with 
which  shop-kecpcrsj  cornputcd  the  average  prices  of  the  commodi- 
ties in  which  they  dealt.  The  direction  to  give  '* prices  that  will 
be  a  fair  avenge    *'      'lie  year"  is  rather  indefinite  and  seems  to 

"  J,(  jXil  t,    p.    'J. 


1908]        Mitch  ell— Gold,  Pnces,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  65 

invite  rough  estimates.  But  unless  the  schedules  had  been  filled 
in  by  expert  special  agents  from  the  census  office,  it  is  probable 
that  explicit  directions  requiring  the  making  of  elaborate  com- 
putations would  have  been  disregarded.  The  returns  should  be 
regarded  as  more  or  less  expert  estimates  based  on  inspection 
of  old  accounts  rather  than  as  accurate  quotations,  such  for  ex- 
ample as  can  be  given  for  the  price  of  a  certain  grade  of  wheat  on 
the  Chicago  Board  of  Trade  for  a  particular  day.  The  approxi- 
mate character  of  the  individual  statements  of  price  matters  less 
because  we  have  from  6  to  23  series  of  quotations  for  every  com- 
modity included  in  the  following  tables. 

This  description  of  Weeks 's  Report  on  Retail  Prices  shows 
that  it  is  far  from  being  an  ideal  source  of  information.  The 
field  is  one,  indeed,  Avhere  the  obstacles  to  satisfactory  statistical 
treatment  are  far  more  formidable  than  in  the  field  of  wholesale 
prices  or  of  wages.  But  this  report  is  the  only  considerable  col- 
lection of  data  available,  and  the  choice  lies  between  using  it 
and  giving  up  the  attempt  to  learn  what  effect  the  paper  standard 
had  on  prices  at  retail  and  cost  of  living.  Working  over  the 
material  increases  one^s  confidence  in  its  reliability;  for  the  re- 
turns from  different  towns  show  both  the  general  agreements  and 
the  detailed  differences  characteristic  of  price-statistics  gathered 
from  many  independent  sources.  Moreover,  the  results  which 
the  final  tables  show  are  substantially  in  accordance  with  expecta- 
tions based  on  other  investigations  of  a  similar  sort.  It  would, 
of  course,  be  an  error  to  accept  the  tables  as  an  unimpeachable 
index  of  the  precise  changes  which  occurred  in  the  retail  price- 
level  ;  but  it  would  be  going  too  far  in  the  other  direction  to  re- 
fuse to  accept  the  broad  conclusions  which  they  suggest.  As 
usually  happens  in  such  undertakings,  it  is  quite  impossible  to 
state  quantitatively  the  probable  margin  of  error  in  the  figures. 

In  dealing  with  the  material  in  Weeks 's  report  I  rejected  (1) 
all  series  of  quotations  not  expressly  stated  to  show  average  prices 
for  the  year,  and  (2)  all  series  not  approximately  complete  for  the 
whole  period,  1860  to  1880.  The  number  of  series  left  by  this 
process  of  elimination  was  554.  Each  one  of  these  series  was  next 
reduced  to  a  series  of  relative  prices  on  the  basis :  actual  prices  in 
1860=100.     Then  all  the  series  of  relative  prices  from  different 


66         Univers^ity  of  California  Publications  in  Economics,    [Vol.  l 

towns  for  the  same  commodity  were  averaged.  This  step  left  60 
series  of  relative  prices  for  as  many  nominally  district  **  neces- 
saries of  life.**  Next,  for  reasons  similar  to  those  explained  in 
the  chapter  on  wholesale  prices,  the  series  for  closely  related  com- 
modities were  grroiiped  together,  and  averages  were  struck  for 
these  groups.  Thus  the  number  of  series  used  in  making  the 
tables  was  cut  down  from  60  to  36 — or  rather  to  34  and  35,  for  the 
series  for  board  was  not  used  at  all,  and  the  series  for  house-rent

//. — Relative  Prices  of  34  Commodities  at  Retail. 

Table  20  shows  the  36  series  of  relative  prices  at  retail  from 
1860  to  1880.  Every  series  without  exception  shows  a  marked 
advance  during  the  civil  war  and  a  marked  fall  during  the  70  *s. 
Nine  commodities  reached  their  maximum  relative  prices  in  1864, 
8  in  1865,  8  in  1866,  2  in  1867,  5  in  1868,  and  one  each  in  1869 
and  1870.  During  the  subsequent  fall  of  prices  1  commodity 
reached  its  lowest  price  in  1873,  2  in  1876,  1  in  1877,  4  in  1878, 
14  in  1879,  and  12  in  1880.*^  Thus  the  table  shows  a  broad  simil- 
arity in  the  character  of  the  price  fluctuations  of  all  series,  com- 
bined with  marked  diversities  of  detail.     A  similar  remark  may 

■ 

be  made  concerning  the  relation  between  the  movements  of  retail

prices  here  depicted  and  the  movements  of  wholesale  prices  shown 
in  the  preceding  chapter.  The  most  striking  differences  between 
the  wholesale  and  retail  price  movements  are  that  the  latter  show 
a  rise  instead  of  a  fall  of  prices  in  1861  and  in  1866,  and  fall  more 
slowly  after  1866  and  again  after  the  crisis  of  1873.  This  slower 
fall  left  the  level  of  retail  prices  as  compared  with  1860  consider- 
ably higher  than  the  level  of  wholesale  prices  at  the  end  of  the 
paper-standard  period.  Whereas  in  July,  1879,  57  out  of  91 
series  of  prices  at  wholesale  had  relative  prices  less  than  those  of 
1860,  only  5  out  of  34  retail  series  were  in  a  similar  position. 

A  more  succinct  exhibit  of  the  retail-price  movement  is  af- 
forded by  Table  21  which  gives  deciles  for  the  series  shown  in 
Table  20,  excepting  rent  and  board.  According  to  these  figures 
there  was  a  noticeable  difference  between  the  movements  of  retail 
and  wholesale  prices  in  1861.  More  than  one-half  of  the  whole- 
sale series  stand  below  100  in  April,  July  and  October,  while  the

great  majority  of  retail  prices  stand  above  100.  Probably  the 
chief  reason  why  the  fall  in  wholesale  rates  did  not  extend  j2:en- 
erally  to  retail  rates  is  to  be  found  in  its  short  duration.  ^Fore 
surprising  is  the  fact  that  retail  prices  appear  to  have  risen  in 
1862  and  1863  somewhat  more  rapidly  than  wholesale  prices. 
But  in  1864  wholesale  prices  took  the  lead.  After  the  war  retail 
prices  fell  less  promptly  than  wholesale  prices — as  was  to  be  ex- 
pected. The  median,  indeed,  advanced  from  1865  to  1866 ;  but  all 
the  other  deciles  receded  slightly.  The  fall  of  retail  prices, 
though  relatively  slow,  was  relatively  steady  and  appears  not  to 
have  been  interrupted,  as  was  the  fall  of  wholesale  prices,  by  the 
speculative  movement  of  the  early  70  *s.  While  some  one  of  the 
deciles  occasionally  moved  upward,  the  general  trend  was  unmis- 
takably downward  until  1879.  Finally,  the  forward  movement 
of  prices  in  1880  was  much  less  pronounced  in  the  retail  than  in 
the  wholesale  trade.  The  median  of  retail  prices  was  steadily 
above  the  median  for  wholesale  prices  from  1867  to  1880 ;  but  the 
range  of  wholesale  prices  was  wider  and  their  upper  deciles  were 
generally  higher  than  the  corresponding  figures  in  Table  21  until 
1878.  At  the  end  of  the  period  the  relatively  slow  fall  of  retail 
prices  had  opened  up  a  wide  gap  between  the  two  sets  of  figures 
— the  median  for  1880  standing  in  one  case  at  118  and  in  the 
other  at  about  105  for  the  year  as  a  whole.® 

Greater  steadiness  of  movement  on  the  part  of  retail  prices 
usually  characterizes  comparisons  of  this  sort.  But  in  the  pres- 
ent case  the  contrast  is  exaggerated  by  the  facts,  (1)  that  the 
retail  quotations  used  are  average  prices  for  each  year,  while  the 
wholesale  prices  are  supposedly  prices  on  definite  dates;  (2)  that 
all  of  the  series  which  enter  into  Table  21  are  themselves  averages 
of  a  number  of  sinjzle  series,  while  the  same  is  true  of  only  a  part 
of  the  series  which  enter  into  Table  4;  and  (3)  that  the  variety 
of  articles  for  which  retail  prices  are  available  is  much  less  than 
in  the  case  of  w^holesale  prices.  These  same  facts  explain  the  nar- 
rower range  of  fluctuations  shown  by  retail  prices  and  the  some- 
what higher  degree  of  concentration  about  the  median.     If  the

method  employed  in  makinp:  Table  5  from  Table  4,  were  applied 
to  make  a  table  showino:  the  distribution  of  the  relative  retail 
prices  of  Table  21  over  the  field  covered  by  the  fluctuations,  it 
would  show  the  average  number  of  points  in  the  price-scale  be- 
tween the  lowest  and  highest  relative  retail  prices  to  be  135.9,  as 
against  422.5  points  in  the  case  of  relative  wholesale  prices.  But 
the  result  would  be  different  if,  instead  of  using  as  the  basis  of 
computation  the  averages  of  the  different  series  for  the  same  com- 
modities given  in  Table  21.  one  should  use  the  different  series 
themselves.  The  latter  method  would  give  for  example  an  ex- 
treme range  of  406  points  between  the  lowest  and  highest  relative 
prices  in  1880,  while  Table  21  shows  a  range  of  only  132  points. 

///. — Relative  Prices  of  21  Commodities  at  Retail  and  at  Whole- 
sale. 

The  broad  comparisons  between  the  movements  of  prices  at 
retail  and  wholesale  made  in  the  last  section  are  subject  to  the 
objection  that  the  two  lists  of  commodities  are  very  different.  It 
is  therefore  desirable  to  arrange  a  comparison  between  identical 
lists  of  commodities  at  retail  and  wholesale.  Unfortunately, 
there  are  biit  21  commodities  in  the  retail  tables  which  are  sub- 
stantially duplicated  in  the  wholesale  tables ;  and  in  dealing  with 
these  commodities  we  nuist  assume  that  averages  of  the  four 
wholesale  quotations  for  each  year  represent  average  annual 
prices.  The  relative  prices  of  these  21  commodities  at  retail  and 
wholesale  are  shown  in  Table  22,  and  a  succinct  statement  of  the 
net  results  of  the  comparison  is  given  in  Table  23. 

The  series  for  the  individual  commodities  show  in  most  cases 
the  kind  of  differences  which  might  be  expected — the  wholesale 
prices  exhibit  a  higher  degree  of  variability  from  year  to  year, 
more  extreme  advances,  and  greater  declines.  The  averages  for 
all  the  commodities  substantiate  the  conclusions  drawn  in  the 
preceding  section.  Retail  prices  rise  while  wholesale  prices  fall 
in  1861 ;  they  advance  more  rapidly  in  1862,  lose  a  shade  of  their 
advantage  in  1863,  and  are  definitely  passed  in  1864.  After  1866 
they  fall  steadily  until  1879,  while  wholesale  prices  show  an  up- 
ward turn  in  1868  and  again  in  1873.  But  the  fall  of  retail 
prices,  while  steadier,  is  slower  so  that  thev  stand  in  1879  well

age  variations  of  the  relative  retail  prices  of  the  21  commodities  in

Chart  V,  facing  p.  78.  serves  not  only  to  present  graphically  tlie 
movements  of  retail  prices  as  shown  in  Table  21,  but  also  to  afford 
the  best  attainable  data  for  comparing  the  fluctuations  in  retail 
prices  and  in  the  premium  on  gold.  Its  similarity  with  Chart 
III  obviates  the  necessity  of  special  explanation  of  its  meaning.

The  differences  between  the  movements  of  retail  prices  and  of 
gold  are  similar  in  character  to  the  differences  between  the  move- 
ments of  wholesale  prices  and  of  gold,  but  more  pronounced  in 
degree.  Gold  advanced  more  rapidly  in  price  during  the  war 
than  the  majority  of  wholesale  prices  and  fell  more  rapidly  after 
January,  1865.  Similarly,  wholesale  prices  advanced  more  rapid- 
ly in  the  latter  part  of  the  war  than  retail  prices,  and  then  fell 
more  rapidly.  The  result  is  that  the  average  annual  price  of  gold 
stands  in  1864  higher  than  the  7th  decile  for  retail  prices,  and 
then  drops  sharply  to  the  neighborhood  of  the  1st  decile,  where 
it  remains  until  resumption  of  specie  payments.^  These  wide  dif- 
ferences between  the  movements  of  retail  prices  and  of  gold  are 
due  to  the  fact  that  the  influence  of  the  fluctuations  in  the  gold 
valuation  of  the  paper  money  was  comnuinicated  to  retail  prices 
at  second  hand.  The  more  highly  organized  and  more  sensitive 
wholesale  markets  show  the  effects  of  this  influence  much  more 
clearly — though  even  they  were  not  ruled  wholly  by  this  factor. 
In  their  turn  retail  markets  were  affected  bv  the  alterations  in 
wholesale  prices — though  they  also  show  the  effect  of  other  fac- 
tors. Thus  the  influence  of  fluctuations  in  the  specie  value  of  the 
currency  appears  in  greatly  modified  form  in  the  retail-price 
tables.® 

V. — Relative  Pi-ices  of  3:")  Commodities  at  Retail  in  Eastern  and 

Western  States. 

The  wide  distribution  of  the  towns  from  which  Mr.  Weeks 
collected  his  data  for  retail  prices  makes  it  possible  to  institute 
a  comparison  between  the  changes  in  the  relative  prices  of  the 
same  articles  in  different  sections  of  the  northern  states.  The 
grouping  of  states  into  east  and  west  used  here  is  arranged  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  the  w^age-data  of  the  Aldrich  Report,  an- 
alyzed in  the  next  chapter,  come  almost  wholly  from  towns  east 
of  Ohio.  To  put  the  retail-price  tables  into  form  for  comparison 
with  these  wage-tables,  averages  of  relative  prices  at  retail  have 
been  computed  first  for  the  states  of  Massachusetts,  Connecticut,

ginia ;  second  for  the  states  of  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Iowa,  Mis- 
souri, and  Kentucky.  The  method  followed  in  making  up  these 
two  sets  of  averages  and  constructing  tables  from  them  is  identical 
with  the  method  described  in  the  first  section  of  this  chapter, 
except  that  the  series  for  house-rent  has  been  admitted  to  the 
table. 

The  results,  shown  in  Table  24,  indicate  that  the  advance  in 
retail  prices  in  1861  was  confined  to  the  eastern  states.  In  the 
west,  as  many  articles  fell  as  rose  in  price.  In  1862,  however,  the 
rise  of  prices  was  somewhat  more  rapid  in  the  west  than  in  the 
east,  and  from  1863  to  1880  the  level  in  the  west  was  distinctly

higher.  In  1869,  1876  and  1880  to  be  sure,  the  eastern  median 
was  slightly  higher  than  or  equal  to  the  western  median ;  but  the 
other  deciles  show  that  the  general  level  was  higher  in  the  west 
even  in  these  years.

Study  of  the  differences  in  the  price-fluctuations  of  the  same

ing Table  IV  of  the  appendix.  There  the  relative  prices  of  each

satisfactory  quotations  were  obtained,  are  published  side-by-side. 
The  differences  between  the  relative  prices  are  often  very  wide — 
particularly  in  the  later  years.  In  1880,  for  example,  there  is  a 
difference  of  140  points  between  relative  prices  of  hard  wood  in 
Reading,  Pennsylvania  and  Cedar  Rapids,  Iowa.  Other  com- 
modities show  still  w^ider  ranges  of  variation — potatoes  150  points, 
rye  flour  160  points,  com  meal  161  points,  eggs  225  points,  and 
butter  350  points.  These  extreme  variations  in  the  relative  prices 
of  the  same  commodity  in  different  towns  are  all  wider  than  the 
variation  in  1880  between  the  lowest  and  highest  of  the  34  series 
of  average  relative  prices  used  in  making  Table  21  (132  points). 
But  if  the  average  of  the  extreme  differences  between  the  relative 
prices  of  the  same  commodities  in  different  towns  is  taken,  it  is 
found  to  be  much  less — namely,  94.5  points. 

This  wide  range  of  variation  shows  that  it  w^ould  be  desirable 
to  have  the  average  relative  prices  for  each  article  based  on  quota- 
tions from  a  larger  number  of  towns ;  but  it  does  not  throw  seri- 
ous discredit  on  the  accuracy  of  the  quotations  which  we  do 
possess.  (1)  Wide  variations  in  relative  prices  at  retail  are  to 
be  expected  in  any  large  collection  of  data  covering  a  considerable 
territory  and  extending  over  a  number  of  years.  For  example,  on 
looking  over  the  retail-price  data  of  the  Eighteenth  Annual  Re- 
port of  the  Commissioner  of  Labor  I  find  the  relative  price  of  eggs 
in  1903,  computed  on  the  basis  of  prices  in  1807,  varying  from  99 
in  IMontgomery,  Alabama,  to  183  in  Detroit,  Michigan.  Wider 
variations  are  not  necessarily  disquieting  in  a  table  which  covers 
a  period  three  times  as  long,  characterized  by  violent  changes  in 
the  general  price-level,  and  beginning  at  a  time  when  local  retail 
markets  were  less  closely  connected  than  now.  (2)  The  wide 
variations  between  the  relative  prices  of  the  same  commodities  in 
different  towns  in  1880,  are  due  in  part  to  the  fact  that  the  dif- 
ferences between  actual  retail  prices  were  reduced  between  i860 
and  1880.  In  some  cases  a  wide  difference  in  relative  prices  in 
1880  is  due  solely  to  the  fact  that  a  difference  in  actual  prices 
existing  in  1860  had  been  wiped  out  by  1880.  This  bringing  of 
actual  prices  in  different  towns  into  closer  harmony  is  probably 
due  mainly  to  improvements  in  transportation  and  communica- 
tion, and  to  centralization  in  the  manufacturing  and  selling  of

many  commodities,  with  its  accompanying  standardization  of 
grades  and  closer  control  over  prices.  Table  25  has  been  arranged 
to  show  the  importance  of  this  factor.  The  extreme  relative 
prices  in  different  towns  in  1880  have  been  entered  for  each  of 
Weeks 's  60  necessaries.®    Then  the  differences  between  the  actual

YII, — Relative  Cost  of  Living. 

The  preceding  tables  are  designed  primarily  to  afford  material 
for  studying  the  influence  of  the  paper  standard  on  prices  at 
retail.  Accordingly  they  have  been  made  like  the  tables  of  whole- 
sale prices,  without  the  use  of  weights.  But  when  in  the  next 
chapter  we  begin  to  study  the  effects  of  the  paper  standard  on 
the  economic  fortunes  of  wage-earners  we  shall  need  tables  which 
show  changes  in  the  relative  money  cost  of  living.  It  is  there- 
fore desirable  to  construct  a  second  set  of  retail-price  tables  in 
which  each  commodity  for  which  we  have  data  is  weighted  as 
nearly  as  possible  in  accordance  with  its  relative  importance  as  an 
item  of  cost  in  the  family  budget. 

Weights  for  this  purpose,  readily  applicable  to  the  majority 
of  our  series,  can  be  obtained  from  the  detailed  statistics  of  the 
expenditures  of  2,567  families  published  in  the  Eighteenth  An- 
niial  Report  of  the  Commissioner  of  Labor.  The  average  sums 
expended  by  these  families  for  fresh  beef,  fresh  pork,  salt  pork, 
eggs,  milk,  butter,  cheese,  lard,  tea,  coffee,  sugar,  rice,  potatoes, 
and  rent  can  be  applied  directly  as  weights  to  our  corresponding 
series  of  relative  prices  at  retail.  Other  items  require  the  making 
of  rough  estimates  and  allowances.  Mutton  and  veal  are  each 
given  one-half  the  Bureau's  weight  for  ** other  meat'';  corned 
beef  one-half  its  weight  for  **salt  beef;"  wheat  flour  two-thirds 
and  rye  flour  and*  com  meal  each  one-sixth  its  weight  for  **  flour 
and  meal;"  molasses  and  syrup  each  one-half  its  weight  for  '* mo- 
lasses;" beans  one-quarter  its  weight  for  ** other  vegetables:" 
anthracite  and  bituminous  coal  each  two-fifths  and  wood  one-fifth 
its  weight  for  **fuel" ;  coal  oil  one-half  its  weight  for  ** lighting." 
Soap  and  starch  are  arbitrarily  assigned  weights  of  2  and  1  out 
of  a  total  of  557.  To  get  weights  for  textiles  and  boots  is  more 
difficult.  I  have  had  recourse  to  the  table  published  in  the  Aid- 
rich  Report,  Part  1,  p.  84,  showing  the  relative  importance  as 
items  of  expenditure  of  the  various  articles  of  clothing  purchased 
by  husbands,  wives,  and  children  of  working-men 's  families,  and 
have  applied  the  relative  figures  there  given  to  the  less  detailed 
absolute  figures  of  the  Labor  Bureau's  report,  in  order  to  obtain 
a  new  set  of  weights  computed  on  the  same  basis  as  those  for  the 


84         University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  l 

other  series.  For  the  series  ** men's  heavy  boots '*  I  took  from 
the  Aldrich  Report  only  the  expenditure  of  husbands  on  **  boots 
and  shoes'' — omitting  the  expenditure  of  wives  and  children. 
For  the  textile  series  I  took  from  the  Aldrich  Report  the  total 
of  expenditures  for  husbands'  ** shirts,"  wives'  '* dresses,  cloaks 
and  shawls,"  children's  ** dresses,  etc."  and  children's  ** shirts.'^ 
This  total  I  divided  between  the  series  for  cotton  textiles,  mous- 
selines  de  laine,  and  satinets  in  the  proportions  of  seven-ninths, 
one-ninth,  and  one-ninth  respectively.  The  weights  thus  allotted 
to  each  of  the  35  series  are  shown  in  Table  26.

Labor  obtained  detailed  budgets.  (ISth  Annual  Report  of  the  Commissioner 
of  Labor,  p.  496  flf.)     For  further  explanations,  see  pp.  83,  84.

This  table  shows  that  the  retail-price  series,  at  the  weights  al- 
lotted each,  cover  about  56%  of  total  family  expenditures.  The 
different  classes  of  expenditure  are  represented  with  unlike  de- 
grees of  completeness: — rent  and  fuel  100%  of  the  total  outlay 
for  these  purposes,  food  74%,  lighting  50%,  clothing  21%,  other 
classes  1.4%.  On  the  basis  of  the  Bureau's  estimate  of  $768.54  as 
the  average  annual  expenditure  of  2,567  families,  the  items  in- 
cluded in  our  table  make  $428.58,  and  the  items  omitted  $339.96. 
The  omitted  items  may  be  expressed  as  $84  for  food,  $91  for 
clothing,  and  $160  for  a  variety  of  goods — liquors  and  tobacco, 
furniture,  insurance,  sickness  and  death,  labor  unions  and  other 
organizations,  amusements,  religion  and  charity,  etc.*® 

What  has  been  shown  regarding  the  materials  at  our  disposi- 
tion makes  it  clear  that  a  high  degree  of  accuracy  cannot  be 
claimed  for  tables  of  relative  cost  of  living  constructed  from  them. 
(1)  The  relative  prices  for  our  commodities  are  computed  from 
retail  price  quotations  from  a  small  number  of  towns.  This  num- 
ber ranges  from  as  many  as  22  in  the  case  of  boots  to  as  few  as  4 
in  the  case  of  anthracite  coal.  (2)  A  considerable  element  of  con- 
jecture enters  into  the  determination  of  some  of  the  weights.  (3) 
All  the  weights  are  drawn  from  budgets  collected  after  1900  and 
applied  to  prices  prevailing  in  1860  to  1880»  (4)  The  material 
covers  but  56%  of  the  total  cost  of  living.  Acceptance  of  the 
results  at  their  face  value  involves  the  assumption  that  the  re- 
maining 44%  of  the  cost  of  living  was  subject  to  the  same  changes 
as  our  figures  show  for  56%.  (5)  The  application  of  a  constant 
set  of  weights  to  series  of  relative  prices  over  a  long  period  of 


*•  The  Bureau 's  figures  for  2^567  families,  which  I  use  because  of  their 
detailed  character,  do  not  show  the  average  expenditure  on  each  kind  of 
goods  noted  for  all  families,  but  the  average  expenditure  for  those  families 
which  bought  the  goods.  It  matters  little,  however,  which  form  of  average 
is  used.  This  conclusion  is  justified  by  the  following  comparison  between 
the  averages  obtained  by  the  Bureau  in  one  way  for  2,567  families  with  de- 
tailed budgets,  and  in  the  other  way,  for  11,156  ** normal  families.'*

years  is  theoretically  objectionable,  because  changes  in  the  com- 
parative cost  of  different  articles  leads  to  more  extended  use  of 
some  and  restricted  use  of  others.  These  considerations  show  the 
impropriety  of  accepting  the  tables  which  follow  as  an  accurate 
index  of  variations  in  the  cost  of  living.  But,  despite  their  short- 
comings, these  tables  deserve  to  be  regarded  as  a  closer  approxi- 
mation to  such  an  index  than  either  the  unweighted  tables  of 
prices  at  retail,  or  weighted  tables  of  prices  at  wholesale  such 
as  Falkner  has  constructed. 

To  show  clearly  the  effects  of  weighting  on  the  results  ob- 
tained from  the  retail-price  series,  the  simple  and  weighted  deciles 
are  presented  side  by  side  in  Table  27.  In  general,  the  difference 
between  the  two  sets  of  figures  is  that  the  weighted  set  shows  less

mobility,  advancing:  less  rapidly  durinp  the  war  and  falling  less 
rapidly  after  the  war.  As  a  result,  the  price  level  shown  by  the 
weighted  deciles  is  lower  from  1861  to  1870,  and  higher  from  1871 
to  1880.  For  a  considerable  part  of  both  the  earlier  and  later 
periods  the  differences  between  the  two  sets  of  figures  are  rather 
wide.  The  weighted  medians  are  5,  10,  even  14  points  lower 
during  the  war;  then  the  differences  become  less,  in  1871  they 
turn  the  other  way,  and  gradually  the  weighted  medians  become 
5,  10,  14  points  higher  than  the  simple. 


88         University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  1 

Yhese  differences  are  due  in  large  measure  to  the  series  for 
house  rent.  Excluded  from  the  table  of  simple  deciles,  this  series 
has  the  greatest  weight  of  any  in  the  weighted  table  (See  Table 
26).  On  turning  back  to  Tables  20  and  21,  the  reader  will  see 
that  this  series  advanced  but  slowly  during  the  war,  did  not  reach 
its  maximum  until  1872,  and  then  declined  more  slowly  than  most 
of  the  other  series,  standing  in  1880  higher  than  the  7th  decile  of 
Table  21.  With  its  weight  of  160  parts  out  of  557,  the  series  for 
rent  covers  nearly  three-tenths  of  the  cost  of  living  for  which  we 
have  data,  and  is  therefore  able  to  determine  the  position  of  at 
least  two  and  sometimes  of  three  of  the  deciles  in  the  weighted 
table.  Up  to  1870  it  ranks  relatively  low,  fixing  the  1st  and  2d, 
or  2d  and  3d,  or  1st,  2d  and  3d  deciles,  and  giving  also  the  lowest 
relative  price  from  1864  to  1866.  In  1871,  it  advances  in  relative 
rank,  and  from  that  year  to  1879  it  fixes  the  median  together  with 
the  4th  and  6th  deciles,  or  the  median  and  the  6th,  or  the  median, 
6th  and  7th.  In  1880,  it  stands  above  the  median  and  fixes  the 
6th  and  7th  deciles. 

If,  now,  we  compare  the  figures  for  cost  of  living  with  the 
figures  for  the  price  of  gold  we  find  the  differences  pointed  out  in 
section  iv  reappearing  in  still  more  accentuated  form.  The  sim- 
ple deciles  for  retail  prices  were  found  to  rise  more  slowly  than 
the  premium,  then  fall  more  slowly  and  not  so  far.'*  The  weight- 
ed deciles,  taken  as  representative  of  the  cost  of  living,  have  now 
been  found  to  rise  still  more  slowly  than  the  simple  deciles,  not 
to  reach  so  high  a  point, — to  decline  more  slowly  and  not  so  far. 
The  forces  which  produced  the  quick  and  violent  oscillations  of 
the  premium  thus  appear  to  have  exercised  less  infiuenee  on  the 
cost  of  living  than  on  the  general  level  of  retail  prices.  Their 
influence  is  indubitable;  but  the  cost-of-living  curve  deviates  more 
radically  than  the  retail-price  curve  from  the  form  of  the  gold- 
premium  curve,  primarily  because  the  influence  of  these  forces 
encountered  the  powerful  opposition  of  the  sluggish  moveiiuMits 
of  house-rent. 

Finally,  I  have  made  separate  tables  for  the  relative  cost  of 
living  in  Eastern  and  Western  States,  corresponding  to  the  tables 
of  relative  retail,  prices  in  east  and  west  presented  in  section  v. 

"  See  p.  77,  al)ove.

The  unweighted  tables  showed  a  higher  level  of  retail  prices  in 
the  West  for  all  years  after  1862.  The  new  table  shows  substan- 
tially the  same  results  for  the  years  of  the  civil  war,  except  that 
the  difference  between  the  eastern  and  western  levels  is  in  most 
cases  somewhat  wider.  From  1866  on,  however,  the  figures  for 
cost  of  living  in  the  two  sections  are  in  closer  agreement  than 
the  unweighted  figures  for  retail  prices,  and  the  western  level 
instead  of  being  uniformly  higher,  is  lower  than  the  eastern 
level  in  1869  and  1873  to  1875.  This  change  in  the  results  of 
the  comparison  between  east  and  west  is  primarily  due  to  the 
influence  of  the  series  for  house-rent.  Table  29  which  gives  this 
series  for  east  and  west  separately,  shows  that  relative  rents  were 
higher  in  the  east  in  1861  and  '62,  higher  in  the  west  in  1863  to

higher  relative  rents  in  the  east  after  the  war  offset  in  large 
measure  the  lower  relative  prices  of  the  smaller  items  in  the 
family  budget,  and  so  kept  the  eastern  level  of  cast  of  living 
substantially  as  high  as  the  western.

VIII. — Arithmetic  Means  of  Relative  Prices  at  Retail  and  Rela^- 

tive  Cost  of  Living. 

Table  30  gives  the  familiar  form  of  average  for  the  most  im- 
portant tables  in  this  chapter.  Arithmetic  means  are  on  the 
whole  rather  more  satisfactory  as  representatives  of  the  movement 
of  retail  prices  than  of  wholesale  prices,  because  the  series  from 
which  they  are  computed  show  fewer  and  less  extreme  instances 
of  very  high  relative  prices.  Nevertheless  the  arithmetic  means 
stand  above  the  medians  more  often  than  they  stand  below  them 
— particularly  during  the  civil  war.  And,  as  has  been  remarked 
several  times,  they  do  not  give  so  correct  an  impression  of  the 
character  of  the  fluctuations  in  prices  as  do  the  tables  of  deciles.

puted from  the  data  used  in  making  Tables  24  (simple)  and  28  (weighted). 
Similarly,  the  arithmetic  means  for  the  east  and  west  together  are  computed 
from  the  data  used  in  making  Tables  21  (simple)  and  27  (weighted).  For

CHAPTER  IV. 

Relative  Wages. 

For  the  study  of  wages  during  the  years  of  the  paper  stan- 
dard we  have  two  large  collections  of  data — one  made  in  1892 
by  the  Bureau  of  Labor  for  the  Senate  committee  which  pre- 
pared the  Aldnch  Report,  the  other  made  in  1880  to  1882  by  Mr. 
Joseph  D.  Weeks  for  the  Tenth  Census.  The  first  collection  is 
more  detailed  in  that  it  shows  the  number  and  sex  of  the  wage- 
earners  and  reports  wages  in  Januar\'  and  July  of  each  year;  the 
second  is  more  extensive  in  that  it  covers  more  industries,  more 
establishments,  and  more  states.  The  original  data  of  the  first 
collection  were  worked  up  under  the  direction  of  Professor 
Roland  P.  Falkner  into  the  now  celebrated  tables  of  relative 
wages  published  in  Part  I  of  the  Aldrich  Report  i  but  the  meth- 
ods used  in  constructing  these  tables  were  so  faulty  that  I  have 
thought  it  necessary  to  do  the  whole  work  over  again.  The  data 
of  the  second  collection  were  published  in  tabular  form  by  Mr. 
Weeks  in  volume  20  of  the  Tenth  Census  without  any  attempt  at 
analysis  or  generalization.  Both  collections  are  used  in  the  pres- 
ent chapter;  but  the  differences  in  form  make  it  necessary  to  keep 
the  two  sets  separate.  However,  a  comparison  between  the  gen- 
eral results  which  they  yield  is  made  in  Section  iii.

The  series  of  relative  wages  computed  from  data  in  the  **  ex- 
hibits'' of  the  Aldrich  Report  are  published  at  length  in  Table  V 
of  the  appendix.  In  order  to  show  succinctly  the  compass  and 
character  of  this  material.  Table  31  is  presented  here.  The  titles 
of  the  industries  are  given  as  in  the  source.  The  ** establish- 
ments'' show  the  number  of  different  factories,  contracting  firms, 
shops,  business  or  municipal  corporations  which  furnished  the

wage-records.  ** Series"  means  a  set  of  wage-quotations  cover- 
ing the  years  1860  to  1880  and  showing  the  pay  received  by  per- 
sons of  one  sex,  employed  at  one  kind  of  work  in  one  establish- 
ment. The  ** average  number  of  wage-earners''  in  each  industry 
is  the  average  number  of  persons  reported  as  receiving  the  wages 
specified  in  January  and  July  of  the  years  1860  to  1880. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  material  is  confined  mainly  to  wages 
for  manual  labor  in  manufacturing  establishments.  There  are 
a  few  series  for  extractive  industries — lumbermen  and  quarry«ien 
— a  few  for  railway  employees,  and  a  few  for  salesmen — under 
dry  goods  and  groceries.  There  are  also  22  series  for  employees 
of  **city  public  works/'  but  these  series  represent  manual  workers 
of  sorts  which  contractors  might  employ.  Agricultural  laborers 
are  not  represented  at  all.

6. — Methods  of  Compiling  Tables  of  Relative  Wages. 

The  series  taken  from  the  ** exhibits*'  of  the  Aldrich  Report 
were  copied  on  separate  cards  which  had  spaces  for  entering  the 
page  from  which  the  data  were  obtained,  the  serial  number  by 
which  the  establishment  was  designated,  the  state  in  which  it  was 
situated,  the  industry  to  which  it  belonged,  the  occupation  and 
sex  of  the  employees,  and  vertical  columns  for  dates,  rates  of 
wages,  number  of  employees,  and  relative  wages  computed  on  the 
basis  of  actual  wages  in  1860.  These  cards  were  classified  suc- 
cessively according  to  industries,  occupations,  and  initial  wages, 
and  a  distinct  set  of  tables  showing  medians  and  deciles  was  made 
for  each  classification.  In  all  classifications  male  and  female  em- 
ployees were  segregated.  To  determine  the  position  of  the  deciles 
for  any  group,  all  the  series  belonging  to  it  were  listed  in  the 
order  of  their  relative  wages  on  tally-sheets — one  for  each  date — 
ruled  into  columns  for  relative  wages,  number  of  series,  number 
of  employees,  and  cumulative  sums.  The  cumulative  sums 
showed  the  whole  number  of  employees  having  on  the  date  for 
which  the  tally-sheet  was  made,  relative  wages  equal  to  and  less 
than  the  relative  wage  opposite  which  they  stood.  When  these 
cumulative  sums  had  been  cast  and  found  correct,  the  whole  num- 
ber of  employees  belonging  to  the  group  on  the  date  in  question 
was  divided  into  tenths,  and  the  dividing  points  between  success- 
ive tenths  were  marked  in  the  column  of  cumulative  sums.  The 
corresponding  relative  wages  w^ere  the  deciles.  The  whole  pro- 
cess can  be  readily  followed  by  examining  the  subjoined  specimen 
tally-sheet,  which  shows  the  distribution  of  the  whole  bod}'^  of 
wage-earners  according  to  their  relative  wages  on  the  date  when 
relative  wages  were  highest.^  An  effective  check  on  the  ac- 
curacy of  the  work  was  obtained  by  constructing  total  tally-sheets 
for  all  series  from  the  groups  resulting  from  classification  by  in- 
dustries and  initial  wages,  and  comparing  these  total  tally-sheets 
with  each  other  point  by  point. 

When  arithmetic  means  of  relative  wages  were  computed  for 


*  In  practice  it  is  convenient  to  use  narrow  strips  for  tally-sheets,  and  to 
make  them  long  enough  to  include  in  single  column  all  points  in  the  scale 
of  relative  wages  from  lowest  to  highest.  This  arrangement  facilitates 
comparison,  and  the  combination  of  tally-sheets  in  forming  larger  groups. 


1908]         Mitchell— Gold,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.

any  group  the  work  was  based  on  the  tally-sheets.  Each  relative 
wage  was  multiplied  by  the  corresponding  number  of  employees, 
and  the  sum  of  the  products  divided  by  the  whole  number  of  the 
employees. 

It  will  be  noted  that  in  making  the  tally-sheets  each  series 
was  entered  as  having  the  number  of  wage-earners  reported  for 
the  date  which  the  tally-sheet  represented.  In  many  of  the  series 
the  number  of  employees  varied  widely  from  date  to  date.  It 
would  have  been  easier  to  compute  the  average  number  of  em- 
ployees represented  by  each  series  and  to  use  this  number, 
instead  of  the  var>'ing  actual  numbers,  in  making  the  tally-sheets

for  all  dates.  But  this  course  would  have  made  the  tables  repre- 
sent the  relative  wages  of  an  artificially  stable  body  of  wage- 
earners  whose  constitution  did  not  change  from  1860  to  1880. 
I  have  preferred  to  regard  the  changes  which  the  series  report 
in  the  numbers  of  men  employed  in  different  industries,  estab- 
lishments, and  occupations,  as  themselves  significant  facts  w^hich 
ought  to  be  allowed  to  exercise  on  the  results  whatever  influence 
they  possess.  To  keep  these  changes  constantly  before  the  mind, 
I  have  introduced  into  all  the  tables  based  on  the  Aldrich  data 
a  column  showing  the  numbers  employed  at  each  date.  Practi- 
cally, however,  it  seems  to  make  little  difference  which  method 
of  weighting  is  adopted.  Arithmetic  means  of  relative  wages  for 
1860  to  1866  computed  in  both  ways  from  the  Aldrich  data,  show 
a  maximum  difference  of  only  4  points  on  advances  of  50  to  60 
points.'-  Average  weights  give  the  higher  results,  apparently 
because  employers  economize  the  use  of  labor  which  has  increased 
much  in  price  and  use  somewhat  more  of  labor  which  has  in- 
creased little.  In  determining  which  method  to  choose,  or  which 
set  of  results  to  trust  when  both  methods  are  used,  the  question 
to  be  answered  is:  Are  the  facts  more  closely  approximated  by 
assuming  that  no  changes  have  occurred  in  the  relative  numbers 
of  persons  employed  in  different  occupations,  establishments,  and 
industries;  or  by  assuming  that  the  changes  which  did  occur  in 
the  cases  recorded  by  the  available  data  were  fairly  represent- 
ative of  the  broader  changes  which  affected  the  whole  body  of 
wage-earners  ? 

c. — Relative  Wages  of  All  Employees  and  of  Males  and  Females. 

The  result  of  the  application  of  these  methods  to  the  Aldrich 
data  are  presented  in  their  mast  general  form  by  Table  33.  The 
*^ number  of  series''  noted  in  the  third  column  is  the  number  of 
series  which  show  at  least  one  person  employed  on  the  date  in 
question.  This  number  is  never  equal  to  the  whole  number  of 
series  (527),  because  at  every  date  several  series  show  no  em- 
ployees at  w^ork.  The  number  of  employees  is  large  in  1860  and 
'61,  falls  off  early  in  the  war  to  a  minimum  of  4,009  in  January,

1863,  rises  unsteadily  to  a  maximum  of  7,710  in  July,  1871,  de- 
clines affain  during:  the  years  of  depression  to  4,997  in  January, 
1876,  rises  hesitatinp:ly  until  January,  1880,  and  finally  increases 
larprely  in  July.  In  most  yeai*s  it  is  considerably  smaller  in 
January  than  in  Jul  v. 

The  deciles  are  to  be  interpreted  in  this  fashion :  Of  the 
4,009  persons  whose  relative  wa^'cs  are  reported  in  January,  1863, 
one-tenth  were  receivin*;  wa<res  ranging  between  54  and  99  per 
cent,  of  the  w^ages  received  by  the  persons  employed  by  the  same 
establishments  to  do  the  same  kind  of  work  in  January,  1860; 


102       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [  Vo^- 1 

a  second  tenth  were  receiving  wages  equal  to  99  or  100  per  cent, 
of  the  wages  received  by  the  persons  employed  by  the  same  estab- 
lishments to  do  the  same  kind  of  work  in  January,  1860;  etc. 
The  identity  of  the  seventh  and  eighth  deciles  at  125  means  that 
more  than  one-tenth  of  the  wage-earners  were  receiving  wages 
just  a  quarter  higher  than  had  been  paid  to  the  people  who  were 
doing  the  same  kind  of  work  in  the  same  establishments  in 
January,  1860.  The  constant  factors  in  the  table  are  (1)  the  use 
of  the  same  set  of  reports  from  the  same  establishments  for  all 
the  different  dates,  and  (2)  the  comparison  of  wages  at  every 
subsequent  date  with  wages  in  January,  1860.  The  variable 
factors  are  the  numbers  employed  and  the  relative  wages  received 
at  different  dates. 

The  table  shows  that  a  wide  diversity  existed  in  relative  wages 
at  every  date  after  1861.  At  every  date  save  one,  some  one  was 
receiving  wages  less  than  had  been  paid  by  the  same  establish- 
ment for  the  same  kind  of  work  in  1860 ;  and  at  every  date  some 
one  was  receiving  twuce,  often  three  times  or  more,  as  much  as 
had  been  paid  in  1860.  These  extreme  cases  represent  but  a  small 
part  of  the  body  of  wage-earners ;  but  even  if  we  take  the  four- 
fifths  of  wage-earners  whose  rates  of  pay  fall  between  the  first 
and  ninth  deciles  we  find  a  wide  though  varying  range.  On  the 
whole  there  is  no  great  degree  of  concentration  at  any  point  of 
the  field,  though  there  is  usually  some  increase  in  density  as  the 
median  is  approached.  Round  numbers,  representing  common 
fractions  or  multiples  of  initial  wages  (such  as  125,  and  200), 
evidently  exercise  a  certain  influence.  The  average  distribution 
of  the  whole  body  of  wage-earners  over  the  field  for  the  whole 
period  is  shown  in  Table  34. 

Though  these  differences  between  the  relative  wages  of  differ- 
ent persons  at  the  same  date  are  so  striking,  they  are  consistent 
with  a  strongly  marked  trend  of  wage-fluctuations,  for  the  differ- 
ences are  fairly  constant  from  date  to  date.  In  other  words, 
though  the  deciles  are  usually  separated  by  intervals  of  several 
points,  they  generally  rise  and  fall  together,  maintaining  nnich 
the  same  general  relations.  Thus  the  table  shows  an  almost  uni- 
versal rise  of  wages  during  the  war — though  a  rise  far  from  equal 
to  the  advance  of  wholesale  or  retail  prices.     After  the  war  the

TABLE  34. 

Average  distribution  of  all  employees,  and  of   males  and  females^  over  the 
field  covered  by  the  fluctuations  of  relative  rates  of  wages

g:eneral  trend  continued  to  be  upward,  while  prices  were  falling, 
with  the  result  that  the  median  for  wages  rose  above  the  median 
for  wholesale  prices  in  January,  1867,  and  above  the  median  for 
retail  prices  in  1869.  During  the  early  70 's  several  of  the  deciles 
and  particularly  the  medians  indicated  marked  differences  be- 
tween summer  and  winter  rates.  The  highest  point  was  reached 
in  July,  1872,  and  during  this  period  the  medians  for  wages  were 
high  above  the  medians  for  prices  at  wholesale  or  retail,  though 
the  upper  price-deciles  overlapped  the  lowTr  wage-deciles  and 
generally  the  median  itself.  After  the  crisis  of  1873,  the  prices 
of  labor  fell  like  the  prices  of  commodities,  and  touched  their 
lowest  point  in  July,  1879.  But  even  then  the  median  stood  at 
135,  while  the  median  of  wholesale  prices  stood  at  85  and  the 
median  of  retail  prices  at  118.  Finally,  wages  rose  again  under 
the  stimulus  of  reviving  trade  in  1880. 

Table  33  also  provides  material  for  a  comparison  between  the 
relative  wages  of  men  and  women.  The  columns  for  numbers  of 
series  and  of  employees  show  that  the  data  for  males  are  much 
moi-e  abundant.  In  the  majority  of  the  21  industries,  indeed,  no 
female  employt^es  are  reported ;  it  is  only  in  the  textile  industries 
that  their  numbers  are  important.  A  more  accurate  comparison 
can  therefore  be  made  on  the  basis  of  deciles  for  the  separate 


104       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics,    [^'^ol.  1 

industries.  For  the  present  it  is  sufficient  to  notice  that  from 
1863  to  1865  men  had  their  rates  of  pay  increased  decidedly 
faster.  From  1865  to  1870  the  relations  are  irregular;  sometimes 
men,  sometimes  women  are  in  the  lead;  sometimes  the  differences 
are  small,  sometimes  large.  But  after  1870  women  uniformly 
have  higher  relative  wages. 

d. — Relative  Wages  in  Various  Industries. 

Reference  to  Table  31  shows  that  12  of  the  21  industries  of 
the  Aldrich  Report  are  represented  by  data  too  scanty  to  afford 
averages  which  inspire  confidence.  In  making  the  tables  for 
industries,  accordingly,  these  12  were  put  together  under  the 
caption  *' other  industries"  and  separate  re*sultS  prepared  only 
for  the  remaining  9,  which  have  451  of  the  527  series  and  5,339 
of  the  average  number  of  employees  (5,733).  From  these  9 
industries  the  5  which  are  most  fully  represented,  viz.,  cotton  tex- 
tiles (including  ginghams),  woolen  textiles,  metals  and  metallic 
goods,  building  trades,  and  city  public  works,  were  selected  for  a 
table  of  deciles;  but  arithmetic  means  were  prepared  also  for 
stone,  railways,  and  gas. 

The  deciles  for  these  five  industries  (Table  35)  show  that  the 
diversity  in  relative  wages  of  different  persons  at  the  same  dates 
is  scarcely  less  marked  or  less  constant  in  the  s('i)ai'ate  industries 
than  in  the  totals  for  all  industries.  The  distribution  of  the 
wage-earners  over  the  field  of  fluctuation  of  relative  wa^j^es  is 
shown  in  Table  36.  The  fact  that  two  or  more  of  the  deciles  for 
an  industry  are  fr(»(]uently  identical  is  due  mainly  to  the  fact 
that  the  series  for  an  important  occupation  in  a  large  establish- 
ment often  represents  more  than  a  tenth  of  the  whole  number  of 
employees  in  the  industry  as  shown  by  the  data. 

This  table  makes  it  po.ssible  to  examine  more  closely  the  eri*atic 
seasonal  movements  so  noticeable  in  the  medians  for  all  industries 
from  1S71-73.  These  movements  are  less  marked  in  the  industri(»s 
singly  than  in  the  totals  for  all  industries.  City  public  works 
shows  no  trace  of  them:  buildinir  trades  has  the  same  iiiedian  in 
January  and  July  of  both  1872  and  1873:  metals  shows  slightly 
higher  July  medians:  woolen  textiles  is  in  the  same  case  except 
for  1872,  while  cotton  textiles  exhibits  considerable  differences —

the  January  medians  being  higher  in  1871  and  1872,  and  lower 
in  1873  and  1874.  The  only  industry  which  exhibits  these  move- 
ments in  more  marked  degree  than  the  total  is  stone  (not  shown 
in  Table  35).  Further,  arithmetic  means  for  all  industries  (see 
Table  37,  below)  make  these  movements  appear  much  more  mod- 
erate in  degree  than  do  the  medians,  and  so  also  do  the  other 
deciles.  The  medians  for  all  industries  must,  therefore,  be  held 
to  give  an  exaggerated  impression  of  the  degree  of  differences 
between  relative  wages  in  January  and  July  of  these  years. 

On  examining  relative  wages  in  the  same  industry  at  differ- 
ent dates,  one  finds  marked  similarity  of  general  trend  shown  by 
the  movements  of  the  nine  deciles,  co-existing  with  rather  wide 
and  fairly  constant  intervals  between  the  extreme  deciles.  Also, 
on  examining  relative  wages  in  different  industries  on  the  same 
and  on  different  dates,  one  finds  similarity  of  trend  co-existing 
with  considerable  differences  in  degree  of  movement.  These 
latter  agreements  and  differences  may  be  more  conveniently 
studied  in  the  table  of  arithmetic  means  which  follows  than  in 


'  Including  ginghams.

the  detailed  table  of  deciles.  All  of  the  industries  are  found  to 
participate  in  the  advance  of  wages  during  the  war;  all  show 
higher  rates  in  1872  than  in  1865 ;  all  show  a  decided  fall  in  the 
later  70  \s;  all  show  an  advance  in  1880;  all  show  arithmetic 
means  in  July,  1880,  varying  from  33  to  59  points  above  the  level 
for  1860.  The  character  of  the  differences  which  co-exist  with 
these  agreements  is  suflSciently  illustrated  by  the  following. state- 
ments of  the  varying  maxima  attained  by  arithmetic  means  for 
the  different  industries  and  the  dates  when  they  occurred.

The  preceding  table  of  deciles  and  the  following  table  of 
arithmetic  means  (Table  38)  make  it  possible  to  compare  the 
wages  of  males  and  females  in  the  same  industries.  It  appears 
that  during  the  years  of  large  enlistments  in  the  army,  wages  of 
men  advanced  more  rapidly  than  those  of  women — a  rule  to 
which  the  one  establishment  manufacturing  ginghams  affords  a 
doubtful  exception.  But  after  1869  the  relative  wages  of  women 
almost  always  stand  higher,  and  by  the  end  of  the  period  the 
differences  in  favor  of  women  are  wide  in  all  industries. 


e. — Relative  Wages  in  Various  Occupations. 

Table  39  presents  deciles  for  those  occupations  which  are  most 
fully  represented  by  the  material  obtained  from  the  Aldrich 
Hrport.  Most  of  the  occupations  are  recognized  trades;  but  in 
preparation  for  Table  40  I  have  also  included  apprentices  and 
foremen,  to  whatever  trade  they  belong,  as  single  series.  The 
table  shows  a  considerable  range  of  variation  in  the  relative  wages 
of  all  the  occupations — a  range  which  in  most  cases  is  much  wider

than  that  between  the  medians  of  different  occupations  at  the 
same  date.  It  also  shows  that  all  occupations  shared  in  the  ad- 
vance of  wages  after  the  issue  of  the  greenbacks,  though  in 
varying  degrees  and  with  varying  promptness.  Laborers  appear 
to  have  fared  best  during  the  war,  and  apprentices,  engineers, 
and  overseers  in  textile  factories  to  have  fared  worst.  All  occu- 
pations, except  teamsters,  also  show  higher  rates  in  1872  than  in 
1865 ;  all  except  overseers  in  textile  mills  suffered  a  decline  during 
the  later  70 's;  all  except  apprentices  and  painters  secured  an 
advance  between  July,  1879,  and  July,  1880 ;  and  at  the  last  date 
all  show  relative  wages  ranging  from  13  to  71  points  higher  than 
in  1860.  The  extreme  differences  between  the  medians  for  the 
15  occupations  exceeded  50  points  during  the  war,  rase  to  101 
points  in  July,  1869,  and  receded  to  an  average  of  about  50  points 
in  the  years  of  business  depression  foUow^ing  1873. 

The  detail  of  Table  39  is  so  abundant  as  to  obscure  broad 
differences.  I  have  therefore  grouped  the  occupations  there  rep- 
resented into  four  ** grades'*  of  wage-earners,  under  the  captions 
** unskilled  laborers,''  *' helpers  of  craftsmen,"  ** skilled  crafts- 
men," and  '* foremen  and  overseers."  Various  occupations  not 
represented  by  enough  series  to  be  given  a  place  in  the  table  of 
deciles,  but  which  could  be  definitely  assigned  to  one  of  these 
grades,  were  also  included.  The  result  is  to  show  that  until  July, 
1875,  the  two  higher  grades  fared  decidedly  worse  than  the  two 
lower  grades,  though  skilled  craftsmen  were  better  off  than  fore- 
men and  overseers.  The  relative  stability  in  the  wages  of  foremen 
and  overseers,  which  had  told  against  them  during  the  years  of 
rising  wages,  told  in  their  favor  during  the  years  of  falling  wages, 
and  to  such  an  extent  that  at  several  dates  from  1876  to  1880 
they  had  the  highest  relative  wage  of  any  grade.  Skilled  crafts- 
men, however,  show  lower  relative  wages  than  their  helpers 
during  the  years  of  the  fall  as  well  as  during  the  years  of  the 
rLse.  As  between  these  helpers  and  unskilled  laborers,  the  table 
shows  the  latter  in  the  lead  from  1863  to  January,  1866,  and 
from  January,  1869,  to  July,  1874,  and  the  former  in  the  lead 
from  1875  to  1880.  On  the  whole,  the  relative  wages  of  unskilled 
laborers  show  greater  mobility  than  fhase  of  any  other  grade — 
a  sharper  rise  during  the  war,  wider  fluctuations  in  the  uncertain

years  following:,  again  a  sharper  rise  during  the  speculative  period 
preceding  1873,  and  a  quicker  and  more  violent  fall  after  the 
crisis.  Indeed,  from  July,  1877,  to  July,  1880,  the  unskilled 
workers  have  the  lowest  relative  wages  of  any  grade,  though  in 
the  early  70  's  they  had  had  the  highest^  wages. 


/. — Relative  Wages  of  Groups  Based  Vpan  Initial  Wages, 

The  classification  of  wage-earners  according  to  the  actual 
wages  received  at  some  period  is  less  common  in  making  tables  of 
relative  wages  than  the  classification  according  to  industries  or 
occupations.  But  it  has  quite  as  much  significance  as  either  of 
these  other  classifications;  for  persons  earning  low  wages  form 
an  economic  group  differing  in  important  respects  from  persons 
receiving  high  wages — as  is  shown,  for  example,  by  all  large  col- 
lections of  family  budgets.     Accordingly  I  have  arranged  the 


■  The  deciles  for  unskilled  workers  are  perhaps  unduly  influenced  by  one 
series  for  laborers  which  represents  the  pay  of  a  large  and  widely  fluctuating 
body  of  city  employees  (establishment  35).  If  this  one  series  be  excluded, 
helpers  of  craftsmen  are  found  having  higher  wages  than  unskilled  laborers 
over  two-thirds  of  the  time.  The  validity  of  the  above  remark  about  the 
greater  mobility  of  the  wages  of  unskilled  laborers,  however,  is  as  true  of  the 
revised  as  of  the  original  series.  The  effect  on  the  medians  of  excluding  the 
series  for  unskilled  laborers  is  shown  by  the  following  figures:

series  in  five  groups,  on  the  basis  of  the  daily  rates  of  wages  in 
January,  1860,  and  made  both  deciles  and  arithmetic  means  for 
each  group.*  The  lowest  of  these  groups — persons  receiving  from 
25  to  99  cents  a  day  in  1860 — includes  all  but  two  of  the  series 
for  females ;  it  is  therefore  the  only  group  in  which  it  is  necessary 
to  segregate  the  sexes. 

Table  42,  which  gives  the  deciles  for  the  five  wage-groups, 
shows  that  each  of  these  groups,  like  each  industry  and  occupa- 
tion, has  wide  diversity  of  relative  wages  and  consistency  of 
general  trend.  All  share  in  the  great  upward  movement  culmi- 
nating in  the  early  70  \s,  and  in  the  great  downward  movement 
in  the  later  70 's;  all  show  an  advance  in  1880,  and  all  end  with 
relative  wages  well  above  the  level  of  1860.  Comparisons  be- 
tween the  variations  of  relative  wages  of  the  several  groups  can 
again  be  made  more  easily  from  the  table  of  arithmetic  means. 
According  to  this  table,  there  was  a  definite  relation  between 
actual  wages  and  increase  in  rates  of  wages  during  the  civil  war. 
The  lower  the  actual  wages  of  a  group,  the  greater  was  the  rela- 


*  Four  series  for  males  and  three  for  females  can  not  be  used  in  this 
classification,  because  the  form  of  statement  does  not  show  accurately  the 
per  diem  rates.

tive  increase  in  the  rates  of  pay.  To  this  rule  there  was  one 
exception ; — persons  receiving  less  than  a  dollar  a  day  in  1860 
received  a  smaller  relative  increase  in  pay  than  persons  receiving 
$1.00-$1.49  a  day.  In  A  History  of  the  Greenbacks  it  was  sug- 
gested that  this  connection  between  actual  wages  and  advance  of 
relative  wages  was  due  to  the  more  severe  pressure  which  the 
increased  cost  of  living  put  upon  wage-earners  with  small  in- 
comes. The  apparent  exception  of  persons  earning  less  than  a 
dollar  a  day  in  1860  was  accounted  for  on  the  ground  that  the 
family  responsibilities  of  the  lowest-paid  workers  were  on  the 
average  less  than  those  of  men  earning  a  dollar  or  more  a  day. 
For  this  reason  the  increased  cost  of  living  embarrassed  the  lowest 
group  less  than  the  next  higher  group.*^  The  plausibility  of  this 
explanation  is  not  diminished  by  the  fact  that  the  symmetrical 
movement  of  the  relative  wages  of  the  groups  is  seriously  marred 
after  the  war.  For  the  tables  of  retail  prices  indicate  that  the 
cost  of  living  declined  after  1865  or  1866,  and  that  relative  wages 
were  as  a  whole  higher  than  relative  prices  by  1868,  if  not  earlier, 
^rom  this  time  on,  increased  cost  of  living  was  not  the  domi- 
nating factor  in  the  situation,  and  therefore  did  not  produce  its

characteristic  effects  upon  rates  of  wages.  During  these  later 
years  the  lead  was  held  sometimes  by  men  receiving  less  than  a 
dollar  in  1860,  sometimes  by  the  $1.00-$1.49  group,  sometimes  by 
the  $2.00-$2.49  group.  But  all  of  the  time,  the  highest  group 
had  the  lowest  relative  wages.® 

The  comparison  between  the  wages  of  males  and  females, 
afforded  by  the  lowest  group,  gives  the  same  results  as  previous 
comparisons  of  the  sexes: — men  have  the  higher  relative  wages 
during  the  w^ar ;  the  relations  vary  for  the  next  few  years ;  women 
are  always  in  the  lead  after  1870.  A  fairer  comparison  may  be 
made,  however,  by  taking  smaller  wage-groups,  because  there  are 
over  40  times  as  many  men  as  there  are  women  earning  75-99 
cents  a  day  in  1860.  The  table  which  follows  shows  the  relative 
wages  of  males  and  of  females  paid  25-49  and  50-74  cents  at  the 
start.  In  the  lower  group  males  have  the  higher  relative  wages 
at  every  date  but  one  until  1879;  in  the  higher  group  females 
have  the  higher  relative  wages  after  January,  1865. 


•The  large  series  of  laborers  (city  public  works,  establishment  35), 
which  was  excluded  from  the  grade  of  unskilled  workers  in  the  note  on  p. 
145,  belongs  to  the  wage-group  of  $1.00-$1.49.  The  effect  of  excluding  it 
here  is  as  follows:

g, — Comparison  with  Faikner's  Tables  of  Relative  Wages. 

On  comparing?  the  tables  which  have  been  presented  with  the 
tables  compiled  from  the  same  data  under  the  direction  of  Pro- 
fessor R.  P.  Falkner  and  published  in  Part  I  of  the  Aldrich 
Report,  one  finds  that  they  a^ree  regarding  the  general  character 
of  the  wage-movements,  but  differ  materially  regarding  the  de- 
gree of  these  movements.  The  differences  in  results  are  due 
almost  wholly  to  a  difference  in  method.  Professor  Falkner 
treated  each  wage-series  as  having  the  same  importance,  whether 
it  represented  the  relative  wages  of  one  man  or  a  hundred  men. 
On  the  other  hand,  I  have  weighted  each  series  at  each  date  by 
the  number  of  persons  whose  actual  wages  the  series  reports  on 
that  date.  Falkner 's  method  gives  averages  of  the  relative  rates 
of  pay  for  different  kinds  of  work:  mine  gives  averages  of  the 
relative  rates  of  pay  of  different  wage-ear ners. 

Since  Falkner  ^s  tables  show  only  arithmetic  means  it  is  neces- 
sary to  confine  the  comparison  to  this  form  of  average.  My 
arithmetic  means  were  computed  from  the  tally-sheets  used  in 
determining  deciles,  by  multiplying  each  relative  wage  by  the 
number  of  persons  receiving  it,  and  dividing  the  sum  of  the 
products  by  the  total  number  of  persons.  This  work  was  done 
both  with  the  tally-sheets  for  industries  and  the  tally-sheets  for 
groups  based  on  initial  wages.  The  results  of  the  two  sets  of 
computations  were  corrected  by  comparison  until  they  agreed 
perfectly,  so  that  the  chance  of  erroi's  of  computation  affecting 
the  result  was  practically  excluded.  Further,  to  make  certain 
that  the  slight  differences  in  the  series  used  and  in  other  minor 
details  did  not  account  for  more  than  a  small  part  of  the  discrep- 
ancies between  Falkner 's  results  and  mine,  I  had  arithmetic 
means  computed  from  my  tally-sheets  by  Falkner 's  method — 
that  is,  by  multiplying  each  relative  wage  by  the  number  of  series 
(instead  of  the  number  of  persons)  shown  as  receiving  it,  and 
dividing  the  sum  of  the  products  by  the  whole  number  of  series. 
This  work  also  was  done  on  the  two  sets  of  tallv-sheets  and  the 
r€*sults  brought  to  perfect  agreement.  These  new  arithmetic 
means  for  all  industries,  together  with  the  medians,  are  compared 
in  the  next  table  with  Falkner 's  corresponding  averages. 


170       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  l 

The  table  shows  that  the  new  simple  averages  agree  closely 
with  Falkiier's  simple  averages.  The  discrepancy  between  his 
figures  and  my  January  figures  is  less  than  half  of  one  point  in

.  the  scale  of  relative  wa^es  in  13  of  the  21  years,  and  in  no  year 
exceeds  1.7  points.  These  slight  differences  arise  from  the  facts 
that  (1)1  have  omitted  a  few  series  which  Falkner  uses,  (2)  I 
have  made  separate  series  for  males  and  females  in  occupations 
in  which  both  sexes  are  employed,  (3)  Falkner  computes  relative 
wages  in  some  cases  on  the  basis  of  actual  wages  in  July  instead  of 
in  January.  But  the  table  also  shows  wide  differences  between 
both  Falkner 's  and  my  series  of  simple  arithmetic  means  on  the 
one  hand,  and  the  series  of  weighted  arithmetic  means  on  the  other 
hand.  These  differences  appear  as  soon  as  the  advance  of  relative 
wages  is  fairly  under  way,  rise  to  a  maximum  of  19  points  in 
January,  1871,  and  then  fall  gradually  to  less  than  one  point  in 
January,  1880.  The  close  agreement  between  Falkner 's  simple 
arithmetic  means  and  mine,  together  with  the  wide  divergencies 
between  my  simple  and  weighted  arithmetic  means,  is  conclusive 
proof  that  the  difference  between  his  simple  and  my  weighted 
arithmetic  means  is  due  almost  wholly  to  his  failure  to  take  ac- 
count of  the  number  of  persons  whose  wages  are  represented  by 
the  series. 

The  reason  why  this  difference  in  method  makes  large  differ- 
ences in  results  is  that  the  series  representing  but  one  or  two 
wage-earners  show  on  the  average  a  less  rapid  and  a  less  consid- 
erable advance  in  wages  up  to  the  early  70 's,  and  a  less  consid- 
erable fall  from  the  early  70 's  to  1879,  than  do  the  series  repre- 
senting relatively  large  numbers.  A  much  larger  proportion  of 
the  small  than  of  the  large  series  represent  the  wages  of  foremen, 
overseers,  and  highly  paid  mechanics ;  and  Tables  40  and  42  show 
that  the  highest  of  our  four  industrial  grades  and  the  highest  of 
our  five  wage-groups  exhibit  much  less  mobility  of  wages  than 
do  the  lower  grades  and  wage-groups.  Falkner 's  method  allows 
these  relativelv  immobile  series  an  influence  on  the  result  de- 
pending  on  the  ratio  between  their  number  and  the  whole  number 
of  series;  my  method  allows  them  an  influence  depending  on  the 
smaller  ratio  between  the  number  of  persons  they  represent  and 
the  whole  number  of  persons.  These  ratios  in  the  case  of  the 
highest  wage-group,  for  example,  average  5.6  per  cent,  and  1.2 
per  cent,  respectively.  On  the  other  hand,  of  course,  Falkner 's 
method  gives  to  the  largest  wage-group   (males  earning  $1.00- 


172       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  l 

$1.49  per  day  in  1860),  which  shows  on  the  whole  the  highest 
range  of  relative  wages,  an  average  weight  of  34.2  per  cent,  on 
the  results,  while  mine  allows  it  41.8  per  cent.  Further,  it  ap- 
pears to  be  the  case  that  establishments  employing  many  men, 
and  therefore  represented  by  large  series,  advanced  wages  more 
liberally  between  1860  and  1872,  and  reduced  wages  more  sharply 
after  1873,  than  small  establishments  in  the  same  industries. 

Professor  Falkner,  however,  did  not  rest  content  with  the 
simple  arithmetic  means  which  have  been  criticized,  but  made 
also  a  series  of  weighted  arithmetic  means  in  which  he  sought  to 
take  account  of  numbers  employed.  But  in  doing  so  he  kept  his 
old  errors  of  method,  and  added  new  errors  to  them.  His  method 
of  weighting  was  to  take  the  simple  averages  for  17  of  his  21 
industries,  weight  them  by  figures  obtained  from  the  census  re- 
turns for  occupations,  and  divide  the  sum  of  the  products  by  the 
sum  of  the  weights.  This  procedure  does  not  eliminate  the  orig- 
inal errors  in  the  averages  for  industries;  and  census  tables  for 
occupations  do  not  give  weights  properly  applicable  to  industries.^ 
Moreover,  in  this  process  Falkner  assigns  large  weights  to  some 
industries  for  which  his  data  are  too  scanty  to  give  reliable 
averages.  The  most  conspicuous  case  is  afforded  by  **dry  goods 
(stores),"  for  which  he  has  only  three  series,  coming  from  a 
single  establishment,  but  to  which  he  assigns  a  weight  second 
only  to  that  for  building  trades.^  As  it  happens,  however,  this 
curiously  weighted  series  of  averages  approximates  the  correct 
results  more  closely  than  does  the  series  of  simple  averages.  But 
even  Falkner 's  weighted  figures  are  much  too  low  for  the  years 
of  highest  relative  wages: — in  January,  1871,  for  example,  his 
weighted  arithmetic  mean  is  16  points  less  than  the  corresponding 
average  in  the  new  table.®

•  It  is  not  claimed  for  the  new  averages  that  they  are  necessarily  correct 
in  the  sense  of  showing  the  actual  changes  in  relative  rates  of  pay  of  Amer- 
ican wage-earners  from  1860  to  1880;  but  that  they  are  the  correct  averaj^es 
for  the  data  presented  in  the  ** exhibits*'  of  the  Aldrich  Report.  The  rep- 
resentative character  of  these  averages  is  discussed  in  section  v.  of  this 
chapter.

h. — Relative  Wages  in  January,  1891, 

Falkner's  averages  for  January,  1880,  both  simple  and 
weighted,  agree  closely  with  the  new  weighted  averages.  The 
importance  of  his  table  as  the  only  considerable  body  of  evidence 
regarding  the  course  of  wages  in  the  United  States  between  1880 
and  1890,  when  the  Bureau  of  Labor  tables  begin,  makes  it  highly 
desirable  to  know  whether  his  latest  figures — for  1891 — are  nearly 
correct,  like  those  for  1880,  or  far  from  correct,  like  those  for 
1871.  Accordingly,  I  have  gone  outside  the  paper-standard 
period  to  compute  new  averages  of  relative  wages  in  January, 
1891.    The  results  are  given  in  full  in  the  next  table,  and  show

» that  both  of  Falkner's  averages  for  all  industries  are  too  high ; — 
the  simple  average  by  nearly  three  points  and  the  weighted  aver- 
age by  nearly  11  points. 

The  errors  of  Professor  Falkner's  results  may  be  summed  up 
as  follows:  Ilis  tables  understate  the  advance  in  relative  wages 
from  1860  to  1872;  they  also  understate  the  fall  from  1872  to 
1879;  and  they  exaggerate,  though  less  seriously,  the  rise  from 
1880  to  1891 — provided  always  that  the  data  on  which  they  are 
based  are  representative  in  character.  In  particular  Professor 
Falkner  s  conclusion  that  when  his  report  was  written  (1892), 
wages  were  **at  about  the  same  point  as  they  were  in  1871-72"^*^ 
is  seriously  misleading.  The  arithmetic  means  computed  by  more 
trustworthy  methods  from  his  own  data  indicate  that  wages  in 
January,  1891,  were  25  points  lower  than  the  average  of  the 
arithmetic  means  for  1871-72.

//. — Tables  of  Relative  Wages  Based  on  Data  from  Weeks's 

Report  of  1880. 

a. — Scope  and  Character  of  the  Data. 

In  Mr.  Weeks 's  report,  wa^es  are  ^iveii  without  specification 
as  to  nmnber  of  employees,  sex,  or  time  of  the  year.  Therefore 
some  of  the  most  interesting^  features  of  the  preceding  tables 
cannot  be  duplicated  in  the  present  section,  and  Falkner's  method 
of  averaging  series  without  regard  to  the  number  of  persons  whose 
pay  they  represent  must  perforce  be  adopted.  But  Weeks 's  data 
give  tolerably  full  information  about  several  industries  not  cov- 
ered by  the  Aldrich  Report,  and  enable  us  to  compare  wages  in 
the  Northern  Central  States  with  wages  in  New  England  and 
the  North  Atlantic  States.  The  number  of  ei5tablishments  and 
of  series  is  also  much  larger.  Table  48  gives  a  general  conspectus 
of  the  data." 

b. — Relative  Wages  of  all  Series. 

Deciles  for  the  whole  body  of  series  from  the  census  are  given 
in  Table  49.  It  agrees  wnth  the  preceding  tables  so  far  as  the 
general  character  of  wage-changes  is  concerned.  Again  we  find 
a  wide  range  of  relative  wages  at  each  date,  combined  with  de- 
cided similarity  in  the  movements  of  the  several  deciles.  The 
rapid  rise  of  wages  beginning  in  1863  and  extending  to  1866; 
the  slight  advance  of  the  next  two  or  three  years;  the  quick  rise 
of  the  early  seventies;  the  maximum  of  1872;  the  decline  after 
1873  to  the  minimum  of  1879,  and  the  final  reaction  of  1880,  are 
all  shown  here  as  there.  The  only  important  difference  in  direc- 
tion of  movement  is  that  this  table  shows  a  small  but  general 
decline  of  wages  from  1870  to  1871,  while  the  table  constructed 
from  the  Aldrich  data  shows  a  rise. 

While  there  is  thus  a  close  correspondence  between  the  direc- 
tion of  the  wage-movements  shown  by  the  two  tables,  there  is  a 
marked  difference  in  degree  of  rise  and  fall.  This  difference, 
however,  is  due  partly  to  the  lack  of  data  regarding  numbers 


"  From  the  list  of  census  series  used  in  the  History  of  the  Greenbacks  I 
have  dropped  three,  and  to  it  added  21  new  series,  thus  raising  the  number 
to  1447.

represented  by  the  series  from  Weeks 's  report,  and  partly  to  the 
inclusion  of  data  for  new  industries  and  new  states.  The  at- 
tempt to  eliminate  these  causes  of  difference  and  to  make  a  fair 
comparison  between  the  two  sets  of  results  can  be  made  better 
after  Weeks 's  data  have  been  analyzed  more  fully. 

Besides  the  difference  in  degree  of  movement  indicated  from 
year  to  year,  there  is  also  a  difference  in  the  degree  of  concentra- 
tion of  the  wage-series  at  different  points  of  the  wage-scale.  The 
intervals  which  divide  the  deciles  from  each  other  are  somewhat 
wider  and  also  more  uniform  from  year  to  year.  This  fact, 
brought  out  by  the  next  table,  like  the  slighter  degree  of  change 
from  year  to  year  is  due  largely  to  the  absence  of  data  for  num- 
bers employed.

c. — Relative  Wages  in  Various  Industries. 

There  are  ten  industries  for  which  Mr.  Weeks  gives  50  or 
more  series — enough  to  make  a  significant  average  of  relative 
wages.  Deciles  for  these  industries,  in  form  for  easy  comparison, 
are  shown  in  Table  51.  Three  of  the  industries  correspond  to 
industries  of  the  Aldrich  Report — cotton  textiles,  woolen  textiles, 
and  metals  and  metallic  goods — ;  the  other  seven  are  not  repre- 
sented at  all,  or  are  inadequately  represented  in  the  Aldrich  data. 

This  table  shows  once  more  the  universality  of  the  general 
trend  of  wage-movements,  and  the  differences  in  degree  of  change 
in  different  parts  of  the  industrial  field.  All  of  these  industries 
show  a  marked  advance  culminating  in  the  later  60 's  or  the  early 
70 's,  followed  by  a  decided  fall  in  the  later  70 's — a  fall  which 
in  no  case  equals  the  preceding  advance.  The  periods  of  maxi- 
mum wages  in  the  several  industries  are : 


Cotton  textiles 

Woolen  textiles 

Tanneries 

Paper 

Saw  mills 

Furniture 

('arriajjes 

Metals 

Glass

But  the  diversities  in  detail  are  quite  as  striking  as  the  uniformi- 
ties in  general  trend.  On  the  whole,  furniture  shows  the  lowest 
range  of  relative  wages,  and  potteries  the  highest  range — though 
part  of  the  time  tanneries  and  saw-mills  rank  above  the  latter. 

d. — Relative  Wages  of  Groups  Based  on  Initial  Wages. 

This  classification  of  the  data  produces  more  regular  results 
when  applied  to  the  Weeks  than  when  applied  to  the  Aldrich 
series.  In  1863  and  1864  the  wage-group  *  Minder  $1''  shows  a 
lower  range  of  relative  wages  than  the  next  higher  group;  but 
these  are  practically  the  only  exceptions  to  the  rule  that  each 
group  has  lower  relative  wages  than  the  group  below  it,  and 
higher  relative  wages  than  the  one  above  it.  Once  more  the  rela- 
tive mobility  of  wages  of  low-priced  labor  and  the  relative  stabil- 
ity of  wages  of  high-priced  labor  is  clearly  shown.  The  contrast 
comes  out  most  distinctly  in  the  following  figures  for  the  medians 
of  the  several  groups  in  the  years  of  maximum  and  (later)  mini- 
mum wages.

e. — Relative  Wages  in  Eastern  and  Western  States. 

The  dividing  line  between  east  and  west  for  purposes  of  this 
comparison  is  the  eastern  boundary  of  Ohio.  AH  but  one  of  the 
establishments  for  which  the  Aldrich  Report  gives  data — an  Ohio 
gas  plant  with  7  series — lie  east  of  this  line;  but  almast  two-fifths 
of  the  census  establishments  lie  west  of  it.  There  are  therefore 
sufficient  data  to  study  the  sectional  differences  in  wage-fluctu- 
ations. 

Table  55  presents  Weeks  *s  series  in  form  for  such  study.  It 
shows  that,  beginning  as  early  as  1861,  relative  wages  in  the  west 
were  somewhat  higher  than  in  the  east.  The  difference  in  favor 
of  the  west  became  very  marked  in  1863,  1864  and  1865.  During 
the  next  four  years,  however,  wages  rose  more  rapidly  in  the  east, 
and  in  1870  that  section  took  the  lead  and  held  it  until  1879. 
During  1876  and  1877  the  difference  between  the  medians  in 
favor  of  the  east  was  10  points,  while  in  1864  it  had  been  22  points 
in  favor  of  the  west.  Between  1879  and  1880  wages  advanced 
more  rapidly  in  the  west,  so  that  while  the  lower  deciles  and  the 
median  in  the  final  year  are  higher  in  the  east,  the  6th,  7th,  8th, 
and  9th  deciles  are  higher  in  the  west.

A  glance  back  at  Table  48  shows  that  there  is  a  wide  differ- 
ence between  the  industries  of  the  east  and  of  the  west  as  repre- 
sented by  our  series.  It  is  therefore  possible  that  the  higher 
western  figures  during  the  war,  and  the  lower  western  figures 
after  the  war,  may  be  due  simply  to  a  divergent  course  of  wages 
in  different  industries.  To  test  this  supposition,  I  have  computed 
deciles  for  eastern  and  western  establishments  in  the  four  indus- 
tries which  are  most  evenly  divided  in  our  material  between  the 
two  sections — furniture,  woolen  textiles,  carriages  and  wagons, 
and  machinery — (See  Table  57).  Furniture  shows  higher  rela- 
tive wages  in  the  east  even  during  the  war;  later  the  differences 
become  much  wider  than  in  the  table  for  all  industries.  Woolen 
textiles  shows  the  west  leading  in  1863  and  1864;  and  the  east 
leading  uniformly  from  1865  to  1880.  Again  the  differences  in 
favor  of  the  east  are  wider  than  in  the  general  table.  In  car- 
riages and  wagons  the  west  has  distinctly  higher  rates  from  1862 
to  1866 ;  then  gradually  falls  far  behind,  but  regains  the  lead  by 
a  narrow  margin  in  1880.  Finally,  machine  shops  show  higher 
western  rates  in  1862  to  1864,  substantial  equality  in  1865  and 
1866,  then  higher  eastern  rates  to  1880.  Confining  the  compari- 
son to  series  for  identical  industries  thus  serves  to  make  the  dif- 
ferences between  the  eastern  and  western  wage-movements  appear

greater  in  degree.  The  evidence  is  so  emphatic  and  so  uniform 
as  to  leave  little  doubt  that  relative  wages  advanced  more  rapidly 
in  the  west  during  the  war,  were  overtaken  between  1865  and  1868 
by  the  advance  in  the  east,  and  fell  far  behind  during  the  years 
of  depression  after  the  crisis  of  1873. 

Ill, — Comparison  between  the  Tables  of  Relative  Wages  based  on 
Data  from  the  Aldrich  Report  and  the  Weeks  Report. 

Between  the  tables  derived  from  the  material  of  the  Aldrich 
Report  and  the  tables  derived  from  the  material  of  the  Weeks  Re- 
port there  exist  ostensible  discrepancies  so  wide  as  to  shake  con- 
fidence in  the  trustworthiness  of  both  sets  of  results.  For  ex.- 
ample,  the  medians  for  1871  in  the  two  tables  which  include  all 
the  series  from  both  sources  are  separated  by  an  interval  of  more 
than  30  points.  But  the  discrepancies  between  the  simple  and 
weighted  arithmetic  means  of  the  Aldrich  series  (Table  46),  and 
the  discrepancies  between  the  medians  of  Weeks 's  series  for  east- 
ern and  western  states  (Table  55),  suggest  that  the  divergencies 
of  the  two  sets  of  results  are  due  mainly  to  formal  differences  in 
the  character  of  the  data  from  which  they  ar^  derived:  namely, 
the  presence  in  one  case  and  absence  in  the  other  (1)  of  informa- 
tion about  numbers  employed  and  (2)  of  series  from  states  west 
of  Pennsylvania.  To  make  a  just  comparison  between  the  two 
sets  of  results,  it  is  necessary  to  eliminate  the  influence  of  num- 
bers employed  from  the  averages  for  the  Aldrich  data,  and  to 
omit  the  western  series  from  the  averages  for  Weeks 's  data. 

This  result  has  been  accomplished  by  computing  deciles  for 
the  Aldrich  series  without  regard  to  the  number  of  wage-earners 
whom  they  represent,  and  by  comparing  the  results  with  deciles 
for  Weeks 's  series  from  eastern  states.  Table  58,  in  which  the  re- 
sulting figures  are  placed  side  by  side,  shows  a  great  reduction 
of  the  discrepancies  which  exist  between  Tables  33  and  49.  For 
example,  the  interval  between  the  medians  for  1871  is  cut  down 
from  33  points  for  January  and  40  points  for  July  to  7  and  8 
points  respectively.  The  maximum  differences  between  the 
medians  are  now  found  in  1874  and  amount  to  12  and  13  points. 
But  every  year  after  wages  had  begun  to  rise,  except  1880,  the

Aldrich  medians  stand  somewhat  higher  than  the  Weeks  medians 
in  January  or  July,  or  both.  The  general  agreement  between  the 
deciles  other  than  the  median  is  on  the  whole  surprisingly  close, 
except  in  the  case  of  the  first  decile,  which  from  1865  to  1875  is 
considerably  lower  in  the  case  of  Weeks 's  series  than  in  the  case 
of  the  Aldrich  series. 

It  still  remains  to  inquire  whether  part  of  these  remaining 
differences  may  not  be  due  to  the  fact  that  the  industries  repre- 
sented by  the  two  sets  of  data  are  materially  different.  Among 
the  21  industries  nominally  included  in  the  Aldrich  data  and  the 
30  industries  nominally  included  in  Weeks 's  data,  there  are  only 
three  which  are  well  represented  in  both  sets.  And  of  these  three 
— cotton  textiles,  woolen  textiles,  and  metals  and  metallic  goods — 
the  last  is  rather  doubtful  because  of  the  uncertainty  about  the 
kind  of  metallic  goods  meant.  The  next  table  makes  a  compari- 
son between  deciles  for  these  three  industries.  The  Aldrich  series 
are  again  taken  w^ithout  reference  to  number  of  employees,  and 
Weeks 's  series  are  confined  to  the  eastern  states."    In  the  cotton 


"  Since  there  are  only  4  western  series  for  cotton  textiles  out  of  a  total 
of  261  series,  I  have  not  thought  it  necessary  to  compute  a  new  set  of  deciles 
for  the  eastern  states  only.

manufacturing  industry  the  medians  for  the  Aldrieh  series  show 
a  somewhat  higher  range  up  to  1874  inclusive  and  in  1878  and 
79;  in  1875,  76,  and  '80  Weeks 's  medians  are  slightly  higher; 
and  in  1877  the  medians  are  the  same.  On  the  whole,  the  cor- 
respondence  between  the  deciles  as  well  as  the  medians  is  closer 
than  one  could  expect  from  two  sets  of  data  collected  independ- 
ently. The  comparison  for  woolen  goods  shows  the  medians 
practically  the  same  in  1863  and  1864,  Weeks 's  medians  higher 
from  1865  to  1877,  practical  equality  again  in  1878  and  79,  and 
Weeks 's  medians  higher  once  more  in  1880.  The  differences  are 
somewhat  wider  than  in  the  case  of  cotton  goods ;  but  study  of  the 
deciles  as  well  as  the  medians  shows  that  the  agreements  are  more 
striking  than  the  differences.  In  the  industry — or  rather,  group 
of  industries — called  ** metals  and  metallic  goods'*  in  the  Aldrieh 
Report,  the  correspondence  is  fairly  close  up  to  1873 ;  but  Weeks 's 
series  indicate  a  much  more  sudden  drop  in  wage-rates  after  the 
crisis  than  do  the  Aldrieh  series.  The  latter,  however,  show  a 
continuous  fall  until  1879,  and  in  1880  there  is  again  close  agree- 
ment between  the  medians.  However,  the  doubt  about  the  char- 
acter of  the  establishments  grouped  under  this  caption  deprives 
both  the  agreements  and  disagreements  of  much  of  their  signifi- 
cance. 

The  general  result  of  these  comparisons  is  to  strengthen  the 
claim  of  both  sets  of  figures  to  recognition  as  a  reliable  indication 
of  the  trend  and,  broadly  speaking,  the  degree  of  variations  in 
wage-rates  in  manufacturing  industries  from  1860  to  1880.  The 
substantial  agreement  of  the  two  sets  of  data  collected  at  different 
dates  by  different  organizations,  for  different  purposes,  by  differ- 
ent methods,  for  different  times  in  the  year,  and  largely  from 
different  establishments,  argues  strongly  for  the  representative 
character  of  both  sets.  This  conclusion  does  not  mean,  however, 
that  the  tables  constructed  from  Weeks 's  data  are  a  reliable  index 
of  average  change  in  the  rates  at  which  wage-earners  were  paid 
in  manufacturing  industries.  For  Weeks  \s  data  give  no  informa- 
tion about  the  numbers  of  the  persons  whose  wages  were  changed 
in  varying  degrees.  They  therefore  err  in  the  same  fashion  as 
Falkner's  table,  showing  too  slight  an  advance  in  relative  wages 


218       University  of  California  Puhlications  in  Economics.    \y^^- 1 

from  1860  to  1872  and  too  slight  a  fall  from  1872  to  1879.  The 
real  value  of  the  tables  made  from  Weeks 's  data  is  (1)  that 
they  testify  to  the  representative  character  of  the  Aldrieh  data 
for  the  eastern  states;  (2)  that  they  establish  the  conclusion  that 
wages  rose  more  rapidly  in  the  west  than  the  east  during  the  war, 
but  less  rapidly  afterwards;  and  (3)  that  they  make  it  possible  to 
study  the  course  of  wages  in  several  industries  for  which  the  Aid- 
rich  Report  supplies  little  or  no  information. 


/y. — Relative  Rates  of  Wages  in  Other  than  Manufacturing 

Industries. 

a. — Wages  of  Farm  Labor, 

The  preceding  tables  based  on  the  Aldrieh  and  the  Weeks  re- 
ports take  no  account  of  the  largest  class  of  American  wage- 
earners — farm  laborers.  This  serious  gap  in  our  information 
can  be  partially  filled,  however,  by  data  collected  by  the  federal 
Department  of  Agriculture.  In  1866  the  department's  statisti- 
cian, Mr.  J.  R.  Dodge,  collected  1,510  statements  regarding  farm 
wages  from  statistical  correspondents  of  the  department,  or 
county  officials,  scattered  over  every  state  and  territory  where 
farming  was  carried  on  to  a  considerable  extent.  Similar  inves- 
tigations were  made  again  in  1869,  1875,  1879  and  1882.  The 
results  were  published  in  tables  showing  by  states  the  averape 
wages  of  farm  laborers  **per  month  for  the  year  or  season,''  "per 
day  in  harvest/'  and  **per  day."  Further,  wages  both  *'with 
board''  and  ** without  board"  were  given  for  each  of  these  three 
forms  of  hiring.^^  Of  these  returns,  the  statisticians  of  the  de- 
partment seem  to  regard  wages  **per  month,  for  the  year  or 
season"  as  the  most  significant.  Their  averages  of  these  rates 
for  geograi)hical  sections  both  with  and  without  board  for  the  i\ye

These  figures  show  a  marked  fall  of  wages  in  all  of  the  geo-

after  1879.  In  these  respects  they  agree  with  the  results  pre- 
viously obtained  from  the  Aldrich  and  Weeks  data  for  manufact- 
uring industries.  In  another  respect,  however,  there  appears  to 
have  been  a  difference  between  the  fluctuations  of  wages  on  farms 
and  in  factories.  Farm  wages  were  somewhat  higher  in  1866 
than  in  1869 — the  Pacific  States  again  excepted — ;  but  factory

nesota, Iowa,  Missouri,  Kansas,  Nebraska,  South  Dakota,  North  Dakota, 
Pacific  States — California  and  Oregon.  The  returns  for  the  Mountain  States 
were  too  scanty  in  these  early  years  to  be  significant,  and  no  returns  were 
published  for  Indian  Territory  or  Washington.  The  averages  seem  to  be 
made  by  weighting  the  average  rates  for  each  state  by  the  number  of  agri- 
cultural laborers  employed  within  it  as  reported  by  the  census. 


220       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics,    [Vol.  l 

wages  were  on  the  whole  higher  in  1869  than  1866.  The  Aldrich 
data  indicate  a  considerable  advance  between  these  two  dates,  and 
the  Weeks  data  a  moderate  advance. 

These  comparisons  are  limited  to  the  direction  in  which  wages 
varied  from  time  to  time,  and  it  is  desirable  to  supplement  them 
by  comparisons  of  the  degree  of  the  variations.  To  do  so,  how- 
ever, is  difficult,  because  all  our  tables  of  relative  wages  in  manu- 
facturing industries  are  based  on  actual  wages  in  1860.  and  be- 
cause we  have  but  scanty  information  about  farm  wages  before 
1866.  Our  knowledge  is  limited  to  a  surmise  made  by  Mr.  Dodge 
in  1866,  and  a  few  old  records  collected  in  1892.  In  publishing 
the  results  of  his  first  investigation  Mr.  Dodge  wrote,  **The  result 
shows  an  increase  of  the  rates  of  wages  in  five  years  amounting 
to  about  50  per  cent.,''  and  **This  is  less  than  the  increase  of 
the  cost  of  living  ;''*'^  but  he  gave  no  definite  data  in  support  of 
this  view.  A  belated  attempt  to  supply  statistics  for  earlier  years 
was  made  in  connection  with  the  investigation  of  1892.  The  De- 
partment of  Agriculture  then  requested  its  correspondents  to  send 
in  copies  of  any  accessible  wage-records  relating  to  years  before 
1866.  The  result  was  the  publication  of  a  considerable  number  of 
fragmentary  statements,  diverse  in  fonn,  limited  in  geographical 
reference,  and  applying  to  widely  varying  dates.^**  No  satisfactory 
comparisons  can  be  made  between  these  records  and  the  averages 
for  states  published  in  1866;  but  a  few  series,  extending  from 
1860  to  1865,  can  be  culled  from  the  mass,  and  the  conclusion 
deduced  that  in  these  particular  ca.ses  farm  wages  increased  be- 
tween 50  and  60  per  cent.  But  the  number  of  these  series  is  so 
small  that  the  result  has  little  significance.''  It  is  not  safe  to  say 
more  than  that  wages  of  farm  laborers  appear  from  our  scanty 
information  to  have  advanced  somewhat  less  rapidly  than  the 
wages  of  factory  laborers  during  the  Civil  War. 

For  1866  and  later  years  a  somewhat  luster  comparison  is 
possible.  To  get  figures  as  nearly  comparable  as  possible  with 
the  data  for  farm  wages,  I  have  collected  all  the  series  from  botli

the  Aldrich  and  the  Weeks  reports  showing  daily  wages  of  **  com- 
mon laborers**  in  1866,  1869,  1875,  and  1879;  made  averages  for 
the  states  whenever  five  or  more  series  were  available,  and  com- 
pared the  results  with  the  Department  of  Agriculture's  figures 
for  wages  of  farm  laborers  employed  by  the  day  without  board. 
The  averages  for  both  the  eastern  and  western  states  are  made 
without  regard  to  the  number  of  employees  or  number  of  series, 
because  these  facts  are  not  stated  with  reference  to  the  figures 
for  farm  laborers.  The  averages  therefore  possess  little  signifi- 
cance, except  as  convenient  summaries  of  the  figures  for  the  sev- 
eral states.  For  purposes  of  computing  relative  wages,  Mr. 
Dodge's  opinion  is  adopted  that  by  1866  wages  had  risen  about  50 
per  cent,  above  the  level  of  1861,  and  actual  wages  in  later  years 
are  converted  into  percentages  on  the  basis :  wages  in  1866  =  150. 
The  same  basis  is  of  course  taken  for  factory  laborers;  but  the 
preceding  tables  indicate  that  by  1866  laborers  employed  in  fac- 
tories had  on  the  average  obtained  somewhat  more  than  50  per 
cent,  increases  upon  actual  wages  in  1860  or  1861. 

These  figures,  presented  in  Table  62,  make  possible  several 
different  comparisons.  (1)  The  fall  in  farm  wages  between  1866 
and  1879  was  considerably  greater  than  the  fall  in  the  wages  of 
ordinary  laborers  employed  in  factories.  If  Dodge's  opinion  that 
farm  wages  had  advanced  about  50  per  cent,  by  1866  is  correct, 
the  farm  hand  had  lower  money  wages  in  1879  than  before  the 
civil  war,  while  the  factory  laborer  still  retained  a  large  part  of 
the  gains  made  during  the  paper-standard  period.  (2)  Actual 
wages  of  laborers  employed  on  fanns  were  higher  in  1866  than 
actual  wages  of  laborers  employed  in  factories  in  8  of  the  13  states 
for  which  statistics  are  given.  But  in  1879  there  was  only  one 
state — Connecticut — where  the  farm  hand  had  higher  wages.  (3) 
When  the  eastern  and  western  states  are  compared,  it  appears 
that  the  fall  in  wages  between  1866  and  1879  was  somewhat  great- 
er in  the  west  for  both  farm  and  factory  hands.  The  figures  for 
1869  and  1875  indicate  that  the  fall  began  earlier  in  the  west. 
(4)  Actual  wages  of  farm  laborers  were  lower  in  the  western  than 
in  the  eastern  states  at  all  dates ;  actual  wages  of  factory  laborers 
on  the  other  hand  were  higher  in  the  west  in  1866,  but  were  re- 
duced below  the  eastern  averages  in  later  years.

li>08]        Mitch  ell— Gold,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  223 

Our  conclusion  regarding  the  general  trend  of  wage-fluctua- 
tions must  be  slightly  modified  in  the  light  of  these  data  for  the 
one  occupation  which  is  followed  by  the  largest  number  of  Ameri- 
can wage-earners.  Were  we  able  to  include  in  our  general  tables 
properly  weighted  series  for  farm  laborers,  it  is  probable  that  the 
relative  wages  in  the  latter  '60 's  would  be  somewhat  lower,  and 
certain  that  the  decline  in  the  70 's  would  be  greater  and  the 
final  figures  for  1880  not  so  much  above  the  level  of  1860. 


6. — Salaries  of  School  Teachers, 

Among  the  data  collected  for  the  Aldrich  Beport  were  a  num- 
ber of  carefully  selected  series  of  figures  showing  the  annual 
salaries  paid  to  school  teachers  in  two  Massachusetts  counties 
and  in  four  cities — Boston,  Baltimore,  Cincinnati,  and  St.  Louis. 
Only  maximum  and  minimum  salaries  paid  to  teachers  of  differ- 
ent grades  were  taken,  because  such  figures  were  thought  to  come 
nearest  representing  pay  for  work  of  uniform  quality.  Table  63 
presents  relative  figures  based  on  actual  salaries  for  each  of  the 
cities  and  the  two  country  districts,  and  Table  64  gives  deciles  for 
all  the  series,  except  those  from  Boston,  which  are  omitted  be- 
cause of  the  lack  of  data  for  8  years. 

The  figures  show  no  advance  in  salaries  until  1864.  But  in 
that  year  the  school  boards  of  the  four  cities  and  the  two  counties 
granted  increases,  though  these  increases  were  less  than  the  aver- 
age of  the  gains  made  by  the  wage-earners  for  whom  the  Aldrich 
Report  gives  data — except  in  Baltimore  where  salaries  had  been 
so  very  low  in  1860  that  a  small  increase  in  actual  pay  appears  as 
a  large  relative  increase.  In  the  next  year  Boston  and  the  Mas- 
sachusetts counties  granted  further  increases  to  their  teachers; 
and  after  the  war  was  over  all  four  cities  and  the  two  counties 
made  substantial  additions  to  salaries.  The  scales  fixed  by  Balti- 
more and  Cincinnati  in  1868  were  maintained  without  substantial 
change  until  1880;  in  Boston,  St.  Louis  and  the  Massachusetts 
counties  the  scales  were  advanced  to  maxima  in  1873,  74,  75,  and 
76  respectively,  and  then  reduced  again.  The  relative  figures 
for  1880  stand  high  above  the  weighted  averages  for  all  industries

of  the  Aldrich  Report  in  Baltimore,  decidedly  above  in  Cincin- 
nati, and  slightly  above  in  St.  Louis  and  the  Massachusetts  coun- 
ties. The  arithmetic  means  of  all  series  indicate  that  teachers 
were  relatively  worse  off  than  the  average  manual  worker  in 
manufacturing  industries  until  1866,  then  in  about  the  same 
position  until  1872,  and  decidedly  better  off  from  1874  to  1880. 
But  these  arithmetic  means  are  unduly  influenced  by  the  high 
relative  salaries  received  by  female  teachers  in  Baltimore  who 
had  received  in  1860  less  than  $300  per  year.  It  is  therefore  bet- 
ter to  compare  the  deciles  and  medians  of  Table  64  with  the  cor- 
responding figures  of  Table  33.  If  this  be  done  it  appears  that 
the  majority  of  teachers  for  whom  we  have  data  w^re  not  so  well 
off  in  the  matter  of  relative  money  wages  as  the  majority  of  fac- 
tory hands  until  1875,  when  the  decline  in  wages  in  manufactur- 
ing industries  had  gotten  well  under  way.  From  this  time  on  to 
the  end  they  were  decidedly  better  off.

In  school  teachers  we  have  a  class  of  wage-earners  employed  in 
establishments  not  managed  for  the  sake  of  pecuniary  profits,  re- 
ceiving annual  salaries  instead  of  daily  wages,  lacking  effective 
organization  to  promote  their  pecuniary  interests,  and  engaged 
in  an  occupation  where  tradition  plays  a  considerable  role.  We 
should  expect,  therefore,  that  their  money  incomes  would  be  re- 
adjusted to  a  new  scale  of  prices  more  slowly  than  in  the  case  of 
factory  hands,  and  such  is  what  our  scanty  statistical  materials 
show.  Because  of  this  relative  inelasticity  of  their  money  in- 
comes, teachers  suffered  with  exceptional  severity  from  the  sud- 
den rise  of  prices  during  the  war,  and  profited  exceptionally  from 
the  fall  of  prices  after  the  crisis  of  1873. 


T'. — Fluctuations  in  the  Price  of  Labor  Compared  with  Fluctua- 
tions in  the  Price  of  Gold,  of  Commodities  at  Wholesale,  of 
Commodities  at  Retail,  and  of  Cost  of  Living. 

a. — The  Representative  Character  of  the  Table  of  Relative  Wages 

Used  in  the  Following  Comparisons. 

In  comparing  the  fluctuations  in  the  price  of  labor  during  the 
years  of  the  paper  standard  with  the  fluctuations  in  the  prices  of 
gold  and  of  commodities,  it  is  best  to  rely  upon  the  material  from 
the  Aid  rich  Report.  For  though  the  number  of  wage-series  from 
this  source  is  little  over  a  third  of  the  number  from  Weeks^s  Re- 
port, these  series  were  collected  with  greater  care,  refer  to  definite 
months  of  the  year,  and  show  numbers  employed.  Moreover,  the 
comparison  which  has  been  made  between  the  two  sets  of  wage- 
tables  shows  that  they  are  in  substantial  agreement  with  each 
other  after  the  formal  differences  in  the  character  of  the  materials 
have  been  eliminated.^*  It  is  probable  that  if  Weeks  s  data  showed 
numbers  employed,  the  deciles  weighted  by  these  numbers  would 
be  as  much  higher  than  the  present  deciles  as  the  weighted  deciles 
of  the  Aldrieh  series  are  higher  than  the  simple  deciles.  The 
existing  differences  between  the  tables  for  all  industries  made 
from  the  two  sets  of  data,  therefore,  afford  no  ground  for  doubt-

ing  the  approximately  representative  character  of  the  higher 
range  of  relative  wages  shown  by  the  tables  based  on  the  Aldrich 
Report. 

But  study  of  the  tables  based  on  Weeks 's  Report  lends  em- 
phasis to  a  warning.  Our  table  must  be  interpreted  as  showing 
changes  in  relative  rates  of  wages  in  the  New  England  and  North 
Atlantic  States  only.  According  to  the  tables  based  on  Weeks's 
Report,  relative  wages  in  the  North  Central  States  were  somewhat 
higher  during  the  war  and  somewhat  lower  during  the  70 's  than 
in  states  east  of  Ohio.  It  is  therefore  probable  that  if  our  ma- 
terial from  the  Aldrich  Report  covered  the  northern  states  from 
Maine  to  Missouri,  the  deciles  for  1863  to  1865  would  be  some- 
what higher  and  the  deciles  for  1870  to  1880  somewhat  lower. 
Regarding  wages  in  states  south  of  the  Potomac  and  west  of  the 
Mississippi  we  have  practically  no  information.  Similarly,  study 
of  farm  wages  and  teachers'  salaries  emphasizes  the  warning  that 
our  tables  based  on  the  Aldrich  Report  must  be  interpreted  as 
showing  wage-changes  in  a  limited  number  of  industries — mainly 
manufacturing.  It  is  probable  that  if  we  had  adequately  weight- 
ed series  for  farm  laborers  and  school  teachers,  we  should  find 
our  more  inclusive  table  for  all  industries  showing  a  less  rapid 
advance  during  the  war.  Whether  the  fall  after  the  war  would 
be  materially  affected  by  the  inclusion  of  series  for  both  these 
groups  is  less  certain; — farm  laborers  suffered  a  rapid  loss  in 
wages  after  1869 ;  but  teachers  continued  to  gain  until  the  later 
70  *s  and  then  had  their  salaries  reduced  in  a  more  moderate 
degree  than  the  great  mass  of  manual  wage-earners.  Probably 
the  larger  numbers  of  farm  laborers  would  outweigh  the  influence 
of  the  school-teachers.  But  there  are  also  large  classes  of  salaried 
men  and  women,  such  as  clerical  employees  in  public  and  private 
offices,  and  salespeople,  whose  pay  probably  varied  according  to 
the  school-teacher  type  rather  than  the  farm-laborer  type.  Their 
inclusion  might  well  keep  the  farm  laborers  from  depressing  the 
grand  averages  for  all  wage-earners  toward  the  end  of  the  green- 
back period  much  below  the  level  shown  by  our  present  tables. 
Finally,  Table  58,  which  compares  unweighted  deciles  for  all  in- 
dustries from  the  Aldrich  Report  with  similar  figures  relating  to 
the  eastern  states  only  from  the  Weeks  Report,  suggests  that  the 


228       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  1 

manufacturing  industries  omitted  from  the  first  source  and  in- 
cluded in  the  second  showed  a  somewhat  lower  range  of  relative 
wages  than  the  industries  for  which  the  Aldrich  Report  gives  data. 
What,  then,  does  our  table  of  relative  wages  based  on  the 
Aldrich  Report  represent  ?  Strictly  speaking,  it  represents  only 
the  variations  in  the  rates  of  daily  wages  paid  to  an  average  of 
between  five  and  six  thousand  persons  employed  in  a  limited 
number  of  industries — chiefly  manufacturing — in  states  north 
of  Maryland  and  east  of  Ohio.  But  is  there  warrant  for  believ- 
ing that  the  changes  in  the  pay  of  this  body  of  wage-earners  are 
fairly  representative  of  the  changes  in  the  pay  of  the  larger  body 
of  wage-earners  for  whom  the  Aldrich  Report  gives  no  data? 
What  we  are  able  to  learn  from  various  sources  about  other  im- 
portant classes  of  wage-earners  indicates  that  the  inclusion  of 
data  for  them  in  our  table  would  exercise  opposing  influences  on 
the  result.  (1)  Probably  the  advance  in  wages  up  to  1865  would 
be  increased  somewhat  by  the  inclusion  of  data  for  factory  em- 
ployees in  the  North  Central  States,  and  diminished  somewhat  by 
the  inclusion  of  data  for  certain  excluded  branches  of  manufac- 
turing, for  farm  laborers,  for  school  teachers,  and  for  other  sal- 
aried people.  (2)  Probably  the  fall  of  wages  after  the  crisis  of 
1873  would  be  increased  by  the  inclusion  of  data  for  western  fac- 
tory hands  and  for  farm  laborers,  but  diminished  by  the  inclusion 
of  data  for  school  teachers  and  other  salaried  people.  When  these 
opposing  influences  are  weighted  in  the  mind,  the  force  of  the 
depressing  factors  seems  rather  greater.  On  the  whole  our  table, 
as  an  index  of  changes  in  rates  of  wages  in  states  north  of  the 
Potomac  and  east  of  the  Mississippi,  probably  errs  in  the  direction 
of  exaggerating  the  advance  in  wages  during  the  war  and  mini- 
mizing the  fall  in  wages  during  the  later  '70 's.  But  there  is  no 
ground  for  doubting  the  correctness  of  the  table  as  a  rcpivsenta- 
tive  of  the  general  type  of  tlie  wage  changes  wliicli  took  ])lace 
under  the  greenback  standard  in  that  large  section  of  the  Tnited 
States  from  which  our  information  comes.  Whatever  modifica- 
tions the  table  would  undergo,  could  they  b(»  made  all-inclusive, 
would  be  modifications  only  in  degree  of  movement,  and  these 
modifications  in  degree  would  probably  be  small  in  com])arison 
with  the  scojie  of  wage-changes  as  a  whole. 


1908]        Mitchell— Oold.  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880,  229 

The  representative  character  of  our  table  for  all  employees 
whose  wages  are  given  in  the  Aldrich  Report  can  be  improved  by 
excluding  the  series  for  one  industry — **city  public  works." 
Though  the  municipal  employees  for  whom  we  have  data  belong 
to  occupations  largely  represented  among  the  employees  of  private 
contracting  firms,  still  it  is  notorious  that  considerations  not  of  a 
.  business  sort  sometimes  have  much  influence  in  determining  the 
wages  paid  by  American  cities.  A  glance  back  at  Tables  35  and 
37  shows  that  the  fluctuations  of  wages  in  this  ** industry**  dif- 
fered widely  from  the  fluctuations  in  industries  where  business 
motives  played  a  larger  role  in  fixing  terms  of  employment. 
From  1863  to  1876  **city  public  works'*  show  very  high  relative 
wages ;  in  July,  1879  very  low  relative  wages.  Moreover  the  num- 
ber of  employees  represented  by  the  city  series  is  subject  to  extra- 
ordinary variations,  ranging  from  a  maximum  of  2,466  in  July, 
1860,  to  a  minimum  of  260  in  January,  1880.  These  extraordin- 
ary variations  in  numbers  exercise  an  arbitrary  influence  on  the 
position  of  the  deciles  in  the  table  for  all  industries.  On  the 
whole,  therefore,  there  is  reason  to  believe  that  our  chief  wage- 
table  will  be  a  fairer  index  of  the  course  of  wages  if  the  22  series 
for  **city  public  works'*  are  excluded.  The  result  of  exclusion 
is  to  give  a  lower  range  to  the  deciles  and  medians  in  most  years. 
That  is,  the  new  table  used  in  the  following  comparisons,  differs 
from  the  general  table  for  all  industries  covered  by  the  Aldrich 
Report  in  the  direction  which  the  preceding  paragraphs  suggest 
that  it  ought  to  differ. 

b. — Relative  Wages  and  the  Price  of  Oold, 

The  first  comparison,  that  between  the  price  of  labor  and  the 
price  of  gold,  can  best  be  made  by  studying  the  next  chart.  The 
differences  of  movement  shown  there  are  more  striking  than  the 
similarities.  Gold  advanced  in  price  rapidly  though  unsteadily 
through  1862  and  1863,  to  its  climax  in  July,  1864;  then  declined 
rapidly  though  unsteadily  till  May,  1865,  when  it  stood  for  a  brief 
time  below  the  median  for  wages ;  it  fluctuated  for  the  next  four 
years  around  140;  dropped  during  the  last  months  of  1869  and 
the  first  months  of  1870  to  the  level  of  about  113,  where  it  stayed 


230       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol,  i 

until  1876;  and  finally  declined  gradually  from  this  level  in  the 
spring  of  1876  to  100  at  the  end  of  1878.  Meanwhile  wages, 
though  advancing  more  slowly,  continued  to  advance  long  after 
gold  had  fallen  back  from  the  extreme  prices  of  the  war,  and  did 
not  reach  their  maximum  until  1871  or  1872.  By  this  time  even 
the  lowest  decile  for  wages  stood  above  the  ruling  quotations  for 
gold,  and  it  continued  to  do  so  for  the  rest  of  the  period,  despite 
the  fact  that  wages  declined  rapidly  after  1873,  while  gold  re- 
mained nearly  stable  in  price  from  1870  to  1876. 

c. — Relative  Wa^es  and  Relative  Prices  at  Wholesale. 

The  material  for  comparing  wages  and  wholesale  prices  is  pre- 
sented in  Table  65  and  Chart  VII.  The  short-lived  business  de- 
pression during  the  winter  and  spring  of  1860- '61  affected  wages 
less  than  prices,  and  so  did  the  changed  business  and  monetary 
conditions  of  1862.  Rapid  as  was  the  advance  of  wages  in  the 
following  years  it  was  surpassed  by  the  advance  in  prices.  In 
January,  1865,  when  prices  reached  their  maximum,  the  9th  decile 
for  wages  was  but  little  higher  than  the  2d  decile  for  prices. 
After  that  date  prices  fell,  though  unsteadily,  while  wages  con- 
tinued to  advance  until  July,  1872.  The  result  of  these  opposite 
movements  was  that  in  1872  the  median  for  wages  stood  50 
points  above  the  median  for  prices.  After  July,  1872.  both 
prices  and  wages  declined  and  at  about  the  same  pace.  In  July, 
1879,  when  the  lowest  point  was  reached,  the  median  for  wages 
was  51  points  above  the  median  for  prices.  Both  moved  up  again 
in  1880,  but  prices  so  much  faster  than  wages  that  the  interval 
between  the  medians  was  reduced  to  29  points.  In  brief,  the 
differences  between  the  movements  of  wages  and  wholesale  prices 
are  like  the  differences  between  the  movements  of  wages  and  gold 
in  general  character,  but  less  extreme  in  degree. 

Another  characteristic  difference  between  the  two  sets  of 
fluctuations  is  that  wages  covered  a  narrower  range  and  sliowc^d 
closer  concentration  around  the  median.  This  fact  is  graj)liieally 
shown  bv  the  chart,  and  more  accuratelv  bv  the  figures  of  Table 
66.  Of  coui*se  the  extreme  range  of  wholesale  prices  is  duo  in 
considerable  part  to  the  very  high  price  of  cotton  during  the  war;

TABLE  66. 

Average  distribution  of    wage-earners  represented  in  Table  65,  and  of    9S 

series  of  relative  wholesale  prices,  over  the  fields  covered  by  the 

fiuctuations  of  relative  wages  and  relative  wholesale 

prices,  from  1860  to  1880. 

Note. — The  figures  for  wages  are  based  upon  Table  65 
wholesale  prices  are  taken  from  Table  5.

but  if  the  eoraparison  be  confined  to  the  limits  marked  by  the  Ist 
and  9th  deciles,  the  average  ranges  are  found  to  be  over  90  points 
in  one  case  and  less  than  60  points  in  the  other  case.  It  should 
be  added,  however,  that  if  our  tables  for  wages  had  been  con- 
structed to  show  the  variations  in  the  wages  for  different  kinds 
of  work,  instead  of  the  wages  of  different  wage-earners,  the  con- 
centration around  the  median  would  be  somewhat  less  marked. 


d. — Kelaiive  Wages  and  Relative  Prices  at  Retail. 

Again  the  data  for  comparison  are  presented  in  the  form  of 
a  table  and  a  chart.  Retail-price  fluctuations  have  been  shown  to 
deviate  from  wholesale-price  fluctuations  in  much  the  same  way  as 
the  latter  deviated  from  the  fluctuations  of  gold.  When  we  put 
the  deciles  for  retail  prices  side  by  side  with  the  deciles  for  wages^ 
we  therefore  find  a  much  closer  correspondence  than  that  between 
wholesale  prices  and  wages.  Retail  prices  appear  to  have  stood 
higher  in  1861- '63  in  comparison  with  their  level  in  1860  than 
did  wholesale  prices,  but  they  advanced  less  rapidly  in  1864  and 
1865,  and  did  not  reach  their  maximum  until  1866.  Thereafter, 
also,  they  fell  more  slowly  until  1879,  and  rose  less  sharply  in

1880.  In  all  these  respects  their  movements  are  more  like  the 
movements  of  wages.  Still,  important  differences  remain  in  that 
wages  advanced  from  1866  to  July,  1872  while  retail  prices  were 
falling ;  wages  fell  more  rapidly  from  1873  to  1879  than  did  retail 
prices,  and  exhibited  greater  changes  between  1879  and  1880. 

e. — Relative  Wages  and  Relative  Cost  of  Living. 

The  preceding  comparisons  between  the  fluctuations  of  relative 
wages  on  the  one  hand  and  gold,  prices  at  wholesale,  and  prices 
at  retail  on  the  other  hand,  are  interesting  to  students  of  money 
and  prices,  because  they  show  characteristic  differences  in  the 
promptness  and  completeness  with  which  different  classes  of 
money  prices  (in  the  large  sense)  are  readjusted  to  meet  the  con- 
ditions created  by  the  transition  from  a  monetary  standard  of 
specie  to  one  of  irredeemable  paper.  But  they  do  not  answer 
well  the  question  of  greatest  social  interest: — namely,  How  did 
the  issue  of  the  greenbacks  affect  the  economic  fortunes  of  wage- 
earners? 

The  best  w^ay  of  seeking  an  answer  to  this  question  from  our 
material  is  to  compare  our  standard  table  of  wage-deciles  with 
the  arithmetic  means  of  relative  cost  of  living  in  the  eastern 
states.  The  deciles  for  cost  of  living  represent  changes  in  the 
relative  money  cost  of  successive  tenths  of  the  items  which  make 
up  typical  workingmen's  family  budgets.  Since  a  family  is  in- 
terested in  the  average  change  in  the  money  cost  of  what  it  con- 
sumes as  a  whole,  these  deciles  are  of  little  significance.  Further, 
the  median  is  clearly  a  less  significant  form  of  average  here  than 
the  arithmetic  mean;  for  the  latter  shows  the  net  result  of  all 
changes  in  the  cost  of  articles  consumed  more  accurately  than  the 
former.  Finally,  the  figures  for  the  cost  of  living  are  for  the 
eastern  states  alone,  because  our  table  of  wages  contains  prac- 
tically no  data  for  establishments  west  of  Pennsylvania.  In  the 
table  which  presents  these  two  sets  of  figures  the  relative  cost  of 
living  is  placed  each  year  between  the  January  and  July  wage- 
deciles  which  it  most  nearly  equals.  The  chart,  however,  shows 
the  situation  more  clearly  than  the  table. 

The  data  indicate  that  the  advance  of  retail  prices  in  1861  put 
nearly  nine-tenths  of  the  wage-earners  for  whom  we  have  data  in

a  worse  position  than  they  had  held  in  1860.  In  1862  the  situa- 
tion became  a  trifle  worse  and  it  did  not  improve  materially  until 
1866.  If  our  figures  give  a  fair  picture  of  the  situation,  the  pe- 
riod of  advancing  prices  must  have  forced  painful  economies  upon 
the  vast  majority  of  working-men's  families.  The  low  level  of 
relative  real  wages  in  1865  explains  why  money  wages  should 
have  continued  to  advance  after  the  end  of  the  war.  The  decline 
of  prices  in  1866  still  left  nearly  seven-tenths  of  the  wage-earners 
for  whom  we  have  data  worse  oflf  than  in  1860 ;  but  the  greater 
fall  of  prices  in  1867,  together  with  the  further  increase  of  wages, 
reduced  this  proportion  to  about  four-tenths.  The  wage-changes 
from  1867  on,  therefore,  cannot  be  explained  as  a  defence  of  the 
standard  of  living  prevailing  in  1860.  In  other  words,  the  ad- 
vance in  money  wages  from  1867  to  1872  represents  a  real  im- 
provement in  the  position  of  wage  earners — very  slow  from  1867 
to  1869,  faster  in  the  next  two  years.  After  the  crisis  of  1873, 
the  figures  indicate  that  rates  of  wages  and  money  cost  of  living 
declined  at  about  the  same  pace  until  1876 ;  but  in  1877  working- 
men  seem  to  have  lost  some  ground  which  they  did  not  recover 
until  1880.  In  that  year  practically  four-fifths  of  the  whole  num- 
ber were  in  a  better  position  than  they  had  been  in  1860,  and  the 
majority  in  a  decidedly  better  position. 

It  would  be  an  error,  however,  to  accept  these  figures  of  rela- 
tive rates  of  wages  and  relative  cost  of  living  as  an  accurate  indi- 
cation of  the  changes  in  the  economic  position  of  the  whole  body 
of  American  wage-earners  during  the  years  of  the  paper  standard. 
First,  we  cannot  assume  a  high  degree  of  accuracy  in  our  figiires 
for  cost  of  living.  As  was  pointed  out  in  Chapter  III,  the  ma- 
terials from  which  they  are  constructed  leave  nnich  to  be  desired 
in  point  of  fullness.  Biit  there  is  no  reason  to  doubt  that  they 
aflford  a  better  indication  of  the  changes  in  cost  of  living  than  the 
figures  for  prices  at  wholesale  or  the  unweighted  figures  for  prices 
at  retail.  Nor  have  we  anv  information  which  discredits  them 
as  a  rough  index  of  the  general  trend  of  changes  in  cost  of  living. 
They  woiild  have  to  be  proved  seriously  out  of  the  way  to  in- 
validate the  broad  conclusion  which  it  is  sought  to  base  upon 
them.

Second,  reasons  have  been  given  for  believing  that  our  deciles 
for  wages  err  by  overstating  somewhat  the  advance  in  rates  of 
wages  during  and  perhaps  after  the  Civil  War,  and  by  understat- 
ing somewhat  the  decline  in  rates  of  wages  after  the  crisis  of  1873. 
Allowance  for  this  probable  error  can  be  made,  but  vaguely,  by 
saying  that  the  price-changes  during  the  war  were  probably  even 
more  unfavorable  to  wage-earners  than  the  figures  suggest,  and 
that  the  price-changes  after  1873  probably  deprived  wage-earners 
of  a  larger  part  of  the  gains  made  between  1865  and  1872  than 
the  figures  suggest.  In  these  statements  the  term  price-changes 
covers,  of  course,  changes  both  in  the  prices  received  by  wage- 
earners  for  their  labor  and  the  prices  paid  by  them  for  articles 
of  family  consumption. 

Third,  to  measure  changes  in  the  economic  prosperity  of  wage- 
earners  in  a  satisfactory  fashion  by  the  use  of  tables  of  cost  of 
living,  it  is  necessary  to  know  how  the  annual  money  incomes  of 
wage-earners  have  changed.  This  information  is  not  supplied 
by  tables  of  relative  wages,  no  matter  how  accurate  they  may  be. 
For  variations  in  constancy  of  employment  are  of  not  less  im- 
portance in  determining  changes  in  wage-earners'  incomes  than 
are  variations  in  the  daily  rates  of  pay.  Unfortunately  we  have 
no  independent  information  on  this  subject  of  sufficiently  definite 
character  to  admit  of  qiiantitative  formulation.  Our  own  table, 
however,  shows  that  in  the  74  establishments  which  it  embraces 
marked  changes  took  place  in  the  number  of  persons  employed. 
Taking  the  mean  between  the  figures  for  January  and  July  of 
each  year  as  a  basis  for  comparison,  we  find  the  numbers  declining 
from  1860  to  1863,  then  increasing  until  1872  (except  for  tem- 
porary pauses  in  1865  and  1868),  falling  oil'  in  the  times  of  de- 
pression following  the  panic  of  1873  to  a  low  point  in  1876,  then 
rising  slowly  till  the  middle  of  1879  and  finally  leapinji:  forward 
under  the  stimulus  of  the  business  revival  occasioned  by  the  crop 
conditions  of  that  year.  What  we  know  from  other  sour(*es  re- 
garding business  conditions  from  year  to  year  makes  it  hi<rhly 
probable  that  these  changes  in  numbers  employed  in  our  74  es- 
tablishments can  be  accepted  as  broadly  typical  of  the  business 
demand  for  labor  throughout  the  northern  states.  P^'rom  these 
changes  in  number  of  employees  it  is  safe  to  draw  certain  broad 


1908]         Mitchell— Gold,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  247 

conclusions  regarding  the  relative  constancy  of  employment  of- 
fered to  wage-earners  in  these  establishments.  In  1861  the  de- 
cline in  real  wages  was  greater  than  the  comparison  between  rates 
of  wages  and  cost  of  living  suggests,  because  a  considerable  num- 
ber of  men  were  thrown  out  of  employment  for  at  least  part  of  the 
year  by  the  business  difficulties  which  followed  secession.  The 
same  remark  seems  applicable  to  1862  and  1863 ;  but  the  decline  in 
the  number  of  men  employed  by  our  business  establishments  may 
have  been  due,  not  so  much  to  lack  of  work,  as  to  large  enlistments. 
In  1864,  however,  the  still  larger  numbers  of  the  federal  armies 
did  not  prevent  oiir  establishments  from  securing  a  larger  force 
than  they  had  had  in  1860 — though  the  increase  is  hardly  greater 
than  might  be  e^^pected  in  four  years.  The  improvement  in  real 
wages  which  Table  69  indicates  as  following  the  close  of  the  war, 
appears  greater  rather  than  less  in  the  light  of  the  data  for  num- 
bers employed.  For,  except  in  1868,  a  steady  increase  in  the  de- 
mand for  labor  and  hence  in  steadiness  of  employment  is  indi- 
cated. But  the  conclusion  regarding  real  wages  after  the  crisis 
of  1873  requires  serious  modification.  Table  69  indicates  that  the 
position  of  w^orkmen  hardly  changed  between  1871  and  1876,  be- 
cause the  changes  in  wage-rates  and  in  cost  of  living  were  nearly 
the  same.  From  w^hat  we  know  of  business  conditions,  however, 
and  from  what  our  data  for  number  of  employees  show,  it  is 
practically  certain  that  during  these  years  wage-earners  suffered 
a  serious  decline  in  real  incomes  becaiise  of  lack  of  work.  On 
the  other  hand,  there  must  have  been  a  larger  gain  in  real  incomes 
after  July,  1879,  than  Table  69  indicates,  because  of  the  sudden 
increase  in  the  demand  for  labor. 

A  summary  of  these  various  conclusions  about  real  wages  can- 
not be  made  in  very  definite  terms,  becaiise  we  cannot  frame 
(|iiantitative  statements  of  (1)  the  changes  in  constancy  of  em- 
ployment, or  (2)  of  the  exaggeration,  probably  contained  in  our 
table,  of  the  advance  in  money  wages  from  1860  to  1872,  or  (3)  of 
the  probable  under-statement  of  the  decline  in  money  wages  from 
1873  to  1879.  But  it  does  seem  safe  to  say  this  much:  (1)  Prac- 
tically all  wage-earners  suffered  a  loss  of  real  wages  in  1861,  due 
in  part  to  an  advance  in  the  cost  of  living  without  a  corresponding 
advance  in  money  wages,  and  in  part  to  a  smaller  demand  for 


248        University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  l 

labor.  (2)  Their  condition  probably  grew  worse  rather  than  bet- 
ter in  1862,  and  improved  but  little  in  1863.  (3)  In  1864,  how- 
ever, a  decided  improvement  probably  took  place ;  for,  though  the 
cost  of  living  continued  to  rise  as  rapidly  as  the  money  wages  of 
factory  hands,  the  demand  for  labor  became  greater,  and  a  large 
number  of  salaried  people  began  to  get  substantial  increases  in 
pay.  (4)  How  1865  compared  with  1864  is  uncertain;  but  in 
the  years  1866  to  1872  wage-earners  undoubtedly  made  great 
gains,  and  the  majority  probably  attained  a  position  decidedly 
better  than  their  fellows  had  enjoyed  in  1860.  For  money  wages 
increased  on  the  w^hole,  salaries  were  raised,  cost  of  living  de- 
clined, and  demand  for  labor  was  active  during  most  of  the  time. 
(5)  These  large  gains  over  1863  and  the  smaller  gains  over  1860 
were  in  large  measure  lost  during  the  years  of  depression  which 
followed  the  crisis  of  1873.  Our  table  indicates  a  substantial 
equivalance  in  the  fall  of  money  wages  and  the  cast  of  living; 
but  when  we  combine  the  more  rapid  fall  of  wages  in  the  western 
states  and  among  farm  laborers  with  the  diminished  opportunties 
for  employment,  it  appears  certain  that  annual  money  incomes 
diminished  much  more  rapidly  than  living  expenses.  It  is  not 
improbable  that  from  1876  to  1878  wage-earners  were  on  the 
whole  considerably  worse  off  than  they  had  been  in  1860.  Sal- 
aried people,  however,  fared  better,  and  the  majority  who  kept 
their  positions  were  probably  more  benefited  by  the  fall  of  prices 
than  injiired  by  reductions  of  pay.  (6)  Finally,  a  quick  and 
large  improvement  began  in  the  summer  and  autumn  of  1879. 
Wages  increased  faster  than  living  exi)enses,  and  demand  for 
labor  suddenly  became  brisk.  The  conclusion  suggested  by  Table 
69  that  wage-earners  were  in  a  better  position  in  1880  than  they 
had  been  in  1860  is  probably  just.

CHAPTER  V. 

The  Inter-relations  between  the  Fluctuations  in  the  Prices 
OF  Gold,  of  Commodities  at  Wholesale,  of  Commodities 

AT  Retail,  and  of  Labor. 

I. — The  Pr-ice-Revolutions  of  the  Greenback  Period  and  their 

Causes. 

The  period  of  the  greenback  standard  forms  a  curiously  com- 
plete episode  in  the  history  of  American  prices.  During  these 
17  years  the  whole  complex  system  of  money  prices  underwent 
two  revolutions — fii*st  a  great  rise,  then  a  great  fall.  The  pre- 
ceding chapters  show  that  the  price-fluctuations  of  both  revolu- 
tions were  extraordinary  in  violence,  rapidity,  variety,  and  in- 
clusiveness.  Not  only  commodities  at  wholesale — which  alone 
are  commonly  taken  to  represent  the  price-level — ;  but  also  com- 
modities at  retail  and  labor  fluctuated  in  price  through  wide 
ranges.  Seldom  has  a  highly  organized  business  community 
carried  on  its  transactions  for  17  years  on  the  basis  of  such  un- 
stable prices. 

The  chief  cause  of  both  these  price-revolutions  was  the  mon- 
etary policy  of  the  federal  government.  No  other  conclusion  is 
admissible  in  face  of  the  evidence  adduced  to  show  the  vast  dif- 
ference between  the  fluctuations  in  wholesale  prices  of  identical 
lists  of  commodities  in  the  United  States  on  the  one  side,  and  in 
England  and  Germany  on  the  other  side  (see  Tables  6-11).  Be- 
fore the  war,  when  a  specie  standard  existed  in  both  the  United 
States  and  these  countries,  the  American  and  European  price 
levels  were  in  fairly  close  agreement.  Such  agreement  continued 
from  1862  to  1878  between  the  price  levels  of  England  and  Ger- 
many (Table  12).  But  suspension  of  specie  payments  at  the  end 
of  1861,  followed  by  the  i.ssue  of  the  greenbacks  early  in  1862, 
gave  the  United  States  a  monetary'  standard  all  its  own,  and  per- 
mitted American  prices  at  wholesale  first  to  double  and  then  to 
fall  below  their  original  level  at  a  time  when  European  prices 


250       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics,    l^'^^- 1 

varied  but  little  in  comparison.  So  soon,  however,  as  the  success 
of  the  effort  to  resume  specie  payments  became  practically  as- 
sured, the  fluctuations  of  American  prices  were  brought  again 
into  fairly  close  correspondence  with  the  fluctuations  of  European 
prices. 

The  deviation  of  the  greenback  dollar  from  its  nominal  value 
in  terms  of  the  specie  standard  existing  before  1862  in  the  United 
States,  and  existing  all  the  time  in  England  and  Germany,  then, 
was  the  fundamental  factor  in  producing  the  revolutions  in  prices. 
But  there  were,  of  course,  other  factors  which  had  an  effect  upon 
the  price-level  of  commodities  at  wholesale  and  retail,  and  iipon 
the  price-level  of  labor.  During  the  period  of  the  greenback 
standard  the  United  States  suffered  a  civil  war  which  seriouslv 
deranged  the  processes  of  production  and  consumption;  its  tax 
system  was  made  over  to  provide  revenue  for  the  war  and  then 
revised  on  the  return  of  peace ;  its  population  increased  one-half ; 
its  agricultural  conditions  were  changed  by  bringing  innnense 
stretches  of  prairie  under  the  plow;  its  factories  multiplied  in 
number  and  increased  in  effectiveness;  its  railway  mileage  more 
than  doubled ;  its  business  men  shared  in  the  world-wide  specula- 
tive movement  of  the  early  70 's,  the  crisis  of  73,  and  the  pro- 
found depression  of  the  later  70  s.  These  changes  in  the  econ- 
omic situation  would  have  caused  fluctuations  of  the  pri(.'e-level 
had  the  specie  standard  been  maintained  without  interruption; 
they  had  an  eft'ect  upon  the  fluctuations  of  the  price  level  which 
did  occur  under  the  greenback  standard. 

To  give  an  adequate  account  of  prices  between  the  suspension 
and  resumption  of  specie  payments  it  would  be  necessaiy  to  in- 
vestigate these  changes  and  to  analyze  their  economic  conse- 
quences. A  large  body  of  evidence  different  in  character  from 
what  has  been  presented  in  the  previous  chapters  would  have  to 
be  collected  and  sifted.  Intimate  accjuaintance  with  many  mnt- 
ters  ignored  here  would  have  to  be  gained.  The  present  volume 
does  not  afford  a  basis  sufficiently  broad  for  an  aderiuat(^  atM'onnt. 
because  it  is  limited  to  the  presentation  of  material  retrnrclinir 
different  classes  of  prices.  All  that  is  feasible  with  the  statistical 
apparatus  which  has  been  presented  is  to  discuss  (1 )  the  relations 
l)etween  the  fluctuations  of  the  specie  value  of  the  greenback  dol- 


1908]        Mitchell.— Gold.  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880,  251 

lar,  as  represented  by  the  price  of  gold,  and  the  fluctuations  of 
prices  at  wholesale;  and  (2)  the  relations  between  the  fluctuations 
in  prices  at  wholesale  and  the  fluctuations  in  prices  at  retail,  cost 
of  living,  and  prices  of  labor. 

//. — Relations  between  the  Price  of  Gold  a)id  the  Prices  of  Com- 

nwdities  at  Wholesale. 

It  was  shown  in  Chapter  II  that  the  fluctuations  of  average 
relative  prices  at  wholesale  bore  a  marked  resemblance  to  the  fluc- 
tuations in  the  price  of  gold.  This  resemblance,  however,  was  only 
general.  Average  relative  prices  advanced  less  rapidly  than  gold 
during  the  war,  reached  their  maximum  six  months  later,  declined 
much  more  slowly  from  1865  to  1875,  and  declined  faster  from 
1875  to  1878.  Further,  even  the  general  resemblance  held  only 
for  average  relative  prices.  The  relative  prices  of  most  com- 
modities taken  singly  differed  widely  from  the  movements  of  gold, 
and  the  relative  prices  of  our  full  list  of  92  commodities  continual- 
ly covered  a  much  w^ider  field  of  variations  than  did  gold.  (See 
Chapter  II,  Section  iv). 

The  purpose  of  the  present  section  is  to  explain  these  facts  so 
tar  as  is  possible  on  the  basis  of  the  material  which  has  been 
presented.  No  attempt  is  made  to  account  for  the  variations  in 
the  specie  value  of  the  greenback  dollar,  for  such  an  attempt 
would  require  full  investigation  of  another  field.  But,  accept- 
ing these  variations  as  facts,  the  question  is  asked :  Why  did  the 
prices  of  commodities  and  gold,  both  expressed  in  greenback  dol- 
lars, rise  and  fall  together,  and  why  was  not  the  harmony  between 
their  movements  more  perfect  1 

A  causal  connection  between  the  premium  on  gold  and  whole- 
sale prices  is  clear  with  reference  to  two  classes  of  commodities : — 
namely,  commodities  exported  from  the  United  States  to,  or  im- 
ported into  the  United  States  from  countries  with  a  specie  stan- 
dard. For  American  exporters  and  importers  had  to  conduct 
their  business  transactions  on  the  basis  of  specie  prices  abroad 
and  the  far  higher  ciirrency  prices  at  home,  and  the  relation  be- 
tween these  two  elements  in  their  calculations  depended  on  the 
premium  charged  for  gold  in  New  York.    The  w^hole  matter  can 


/ 


252       Ujiiversity  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  l 

be  best  elucidated  by  following  the  series  of  transactions  necessary 
in  buying  and  selling  such  goods. 

American  importers  bought  their  goods  in  Eiirope  at  prices 
quoted  in  specie,  and  usually  paid  by  remitting  bills  of  exchange 
on  London,  Amsterdam,  Paris,  or  Hamburg.  The  cost  of  their 
goods  in  terms  of  American  currency  was  therefore  represented 
by  the  prices  which  they  paid  for  these  foreign  bills  in  New  York. 
Since  these  bills  were  orders  for  certain  sums  of  foreign  monetary 
units  of  gold  or  silver,  their  currency  prices  in  New  York  fol- 
lowed the  fluctuations  in  the  price  of  gold. 

Tables  published  in  the  Annual  Reports  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  of  the  State  of  New  York  show  how  close  was  the  sym- 
pathy between  the  quotations  for  gold  and  for  foreign  bills  of 
exchange.  For  example,  on  the  4th  of  December,  1863,  sixty- 
day  bankers'  bills  on  London  were  quoted  at  167  to  168,  though 
the  mint  par  between  England  and  the  United  States  was  109.45% 
cents=54  d.^  The  wide  discrepancy  between  the  quotations  and 
par  was  due,  of  course,  to  the  fact  that  gold  was  selling  that  day 
at  152M>  to  152%.  Dividing  the  quotation  for  sterling  bills  by 
the  price  of  gold  gives  a  gold  quotation  which  is  close  to  par,  viz.: 
109.5  to  110.0  Similarly,  bills  on  Paris  were  quoted  at  3.40  to 
3.35,  though  the  mint  par  was  francs  5.18=$1.  Multiplying  the 
quotation  by  the  price  of  gold  gives  as  the  gold  quotation  for 
French  bills  5.18  to  5.12.  Once  more,  bills  on  Amsterdam  were 
quoted  at  611/2  to  62V2.  though  the  mint  par  was  40.2^^1 
guilder.  Dividing  the  quotation  by  the  price  of  gold  gives  40.33 
to  40.92.  Finally,  bills  on  Hamburg  were  quoted  at  55  to  56, 
though  the  silver  marc  banco  was  worth  about  36.4^  in  American 
gold.  Dividing  by  the  premium  gives  as  the  gold  price  of  these 
bills  36  to  37. 

To  show  the  degree  of  accuracy  with  which  the  (luotations  for 
bills  of  exchange  followed  the  changes  of  the  premium  from  week 
to  week  it  is  sufficient  to  examine  the  quotations  for  sterling  ex- 
change.    Table  69  shows    (1)    the  weekly  quotations  of  60-d:iy

bankers'  bills  on  London  as  published  in  the  Annual  Reports  of 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  the  State  of  New  York;  (2)  the 
prices  of  gold  on  the  corresponding  days  from  Mersereau's  Amer- 
ican Gold,  1862-1878;  and  (3)  the  quotients  obtained  by  dividing 
the  first  quotations  by  the  second.^  Thesfe  quotients  are  the  near- 
est approach  we  can  make  to  gold  prices  for  sterling  exchange 
from  1862  to  1864.     They  hover  around  mint  par — 109.45% — ,

'  The  days  of  the  months  in  the  table  are  given  as  in  the  Reports  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce.  In  1864,  from  March  6  to  July  31  inclusive,  these 
dates  fall  on  Sunday.  I  have  found  no  notice  in  the  financial  journals  that 
the  exchange  liouses  made  quotations  for  Sunday  during  these  months.  Per- 
haps the  Sunday  dates  result  from  a  clerical  error  on  the  part  of  the  man 
who  compiled  the  table  in  failing  to  count  in  the  29th  of  February;  for  1864 
was  a  leap-year.  Having  no  Sunday  quotations  for  gold,  I  have  continued 
to  use  the  Saturday  quotations  for  purposes  of  comparison  from  March  to 
July.  Beginning  with  August  1,  1864,  the  quotations  of  both  exchange  and 
gold  are  for  Monday.

but  sometimes  deviate  from  it  further  than  gold  quotations  would 
have  done ;  for  the  dealers  in  exchange  found  it  difficult  to  follow 
the  rapid  changes  of  the  gold  market.  This  difficulty  became  so 
serious  in  the  exciting  days  of  1864  that  the  exchange  houses 
dropped  the  practice  of  quoting  in  currency  and  began  to  quote 
in  gold.  The  latter  practice  was  regularly  established  for  all 
classes  of  foreign  bills  by  January  1st,  1865. 

So  long,  then,  as  the  importer  could  buy  foreign  bills  at  cur- 
rency prices  in  New  York,  he  found  that  the  cost  of  his  foreign 
goods  in  terms  of  dollars  and  cents  was  directly  subject  to  the  in- 
fluence of  the  premium  on  gold.  And  when  exchange  dealers  be- 
gan to  quote  in  gold,  the  situation  was  changed  in  form  only. 
For  then  the  importers  had  to  pay  the  current  premium  for  gold 
with  which  to  buy  the  bills  of  exchange  necessary  to  pay  for  their 
goods. 

Since  American  importers  thus  found  that  the  cost  price  of 
their  goods  in  domestic  currency  rose  with  the  premium  on  gold, 
they  were  compelled  to  increase  the  prices  at  which  they  sold  these 
goods  in  a  substantially  equal  degree.  On  the  other  hand,  when 
the  premium  fell,  the  cost  of  foreign  goods  to  importers  declined, 
and  the  latter  were  able  to  reduce  their  selling  prices  in  substan- 
tially equal  degree  without  decreasing  their  profits.  Competition, 
or  a  desire  to  dispose  of  their  stocks  quickly,  led  them  to  follow 
this  course.  Thus  business  conditions  kept  the  American  prices 
of  imported  goods  in  close  touch  with  the  price  of  gold. 

The  sitiiation  of  the  exporter  was  similar  to  that  of  the  im- 
porter. He  bought  goods  at  paper-money  prices  in  the  United 
States  and  sold  them  at  specie  prices  in  Europe.  To  obtain  pay- 
ment he  usually  drew  bills  of  exchange  on  his  foreign  customer 
and  sold  these  bills  to  exchange  dealers  in  New  York.  So  long 
as  foreign  bills  were  quoted  in  currency  he  received  prices  which 
the  above  data  .show  fluctuated  with  the  premium.  After  bills 
began  to  be  (|uoted  in  gold  he  received  gold  which  he  thereupon 
s(»ld  at  a  premium.  In  either  case  the  exporter's  receipts  for 
goods  sold  varied  with  the  price  of  gold.  This  fact  controlled  in 
large  measure  the  price  the  exporter  could  afford  to  pay  for  his 
goods  in  the  domestic  market.  When  the  price  of  gold  declined 
the  exporter  had  to  charge  a  higher  price  abroad  or  pay  a  lower 


258       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  1 

price  at  home.  When  the  price  of  gold  rose  he  could  afford  to 
take  a  lower  price  abroad  or  pay  a  higher  price  at  home,  and  com- 
petition or  the  desire  to  increase  his  biisiness  led  him  to  make  one 
of  these  conce&sions.  Thus  the  prices  of  goods  exported  in  large 
(piantities,  like  the  prices  of  imports,  were  directly  affected  by  the 
fluctuations  in  the  price  of  gold. 

The  influence  of  the  premium  on  the  wholesale  prices  of  goods 
not  imi>orted  or  exported  was  less  direct.  But  the  fact  that  the 
prices  of  the  great  mass  of  staple  exports  and  imports  rose  and 
fell  with  gold,  was  itself  a  powerfiil  factor  in  producing  similar 
fluctiuUions  in  the  prices  of  goods  produced  and  consumed  within 
the  Tnited  States.  In  a  modern  community  the  prices  of  differ- 
ent goods  constitute  a  complexly  organized  system,  in  which  the 
various  parts  are  continiially  being  adjiisted  to  each  other  by 
intricate  business  processes.  Any  marked  change  in  the  prices 
of  important  goods  disturbs  the  equilibrium  of  this  system,  and 
buNinesM  pnicesses  at  once  set  going  a  series  of  readjustments  in 
tlu»  prict»H  of  other  goods  to  restore  it.  Thus  a  cause  which  direct- 
ly atTect«  the  price  of  one  good  only,  may  indirectly  affect  the 
priccN  of  many  otiier  goods.  Siich  was  the  case  with  the  premium 
(»u  gold  (hiring  the  period  of  the  greenback  standard.  It  directly 
alTcctiMJ  (»nly  the  prici»s  of  goods  exported  to  or  imported  from 
ciMUitrics  having  specie  standards;  but  indirectly  it  affected  the 
pi'iccN  ol*  all  goods.  Some  of  the  business  processes  by  whi(*li  its 
ihtlneiice  was  spread  may  be  .suggested. 

I*rires  of  ctMiiniodities  made  from  materials  exported  or  im- 
ported were  readjusted  to  compensate  for  the  change  in  the  ex- 
peiiNc  nl*  producing  them.  Prices  of  domestic  commodities  pro- 
iliieed  III  I'ompetition  with  foreign  goods  had  an  opportunity  to 
riwe  MM  \\\v  cost  oT  the  latter  increased,  and  were  forced  down  as 
the  cost  t»r  the  latter  declined.  Prices  of  goods  capable  of  ])eing 
wiibNlilutrd  fiU'  wares  imported  or  exi)orted  were  kept  more  or  less 
ill  hanniHi.v  with  the  prices  of  the  latter  by  shifting  demand.  And 
in  piMicral,  mm  of  nil  classes  found  that  their  business  and  living 
e\pciiM»N  were  im'reascd  when  they  bought  imports  or  exports, 
MoimIn  \\u\\\v  from  iImmii,  goods  made  in  comi)etition  with  them,  or 
HubNtitnlcN  for  them.  These  increasing  expenses  they  sought  to 
recnnp  bv  charging  higher  |)rices  for  whatever  they  had  to  sell.

It  would  be  most  interesting  to  investigate  the  varying  degrees 
of  promptness  and  completeness  with  which  the  prices  of  these 
different  classes  of  commodities  were  readjusted  to  suit  changes  in 
the  premium  on  gold.  But  our  statistical  material  is  not  suffi- 
ciently complete  to  make  such  an  investigation  satisfactory. 
There  would  be  required  for  each  class  of  commodities  enough 
series  of  quotations  to  make  sure  that  the  average  relative  prices 
for  each  class  were  not  determined  primarily  by  conditions  of 
supply  and  demand  peculiar  to  the  commodities  included.  But 
though  our  material  does  not  suffice  for  such  refined  investiga- 
tion, it  does  suffice  to  show  that  the  influence  of  the  premium  on 
gold  spread  over  the  whole  field  of  wholesale  prices,  though  with 
var^'ing  degrees  of  celerity  and  completeness. 

If  the  reader  seeks  to  test  the  validity  of  the  preceding  state- 
ments by  turning  to  the  table  of  the  appendix  where  the  series  of 
relative  prices  at  wholesale  are  given  at  length,  he  may  form  an 
adverse  opinion.  For  he  will  find  hardly  one  of  the  153  series 
in  which  the  changes  from  quarter  to  quarter  correspond  ac- 
curately with  the  changes  in  the  premium.  But  this  fact  does  not 
in  the  least  discredit  what  has  been  said.  For  the  influence  of 
business  processes  was  not  to  produce  even  rough  identity  of 
fluctuations  in  the  prices  of  goods  and  gold ;  but  rather  to  make 
currency  prices  differ  from  what  they  would  have  been  on  a  specie 
basis  by  a  margin  roughly  determined  by  the  premium.  There- 
fore only  thase  commodities — if  there  w^re  any  such — which 
would  have  remained  substantially  stable  in  price  from  1862  to 
1878  could  be  expected  to  show  fluctuations  in  currency  prices 
agreeing  closely  with  the  fluctuations  in  the  price  of  gold.  In  the 
case  of  imported  goods,  business  dealings  tended  to  adjust  whole- 
sale prices  in  American  currency  to  the  sum  of  European  specie 
prices,  plus  specie  cost  of  transportation,  plus  specie  import 
duties,  multiplied  by  the  price  of  gold.  Goods  which  fell  in  price 
in  Europe  or  goods  on  which  the  import  duty  was  reduced,  there- 
fore tended  to  advance  less  in  price  than  did  gold;  and  goods 
which  rose  in  price  in  Europe,  or  on  which  the  import  duty  was 
increased,  tended  to  advance  more  in  price  than  did  gold.  A 
similar  statement  applies  to  the  prices  of  exports.  Regarding 
goods  other  than  imports  and  exports,  one  can  say  only  that  each 


260       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  l 

commodity  was  subject  to  its  own  particular  conditions  of  supply 
and  demand,  that  these  conditions  would  have  produced  a  great 
variety  of  price-fluctuations  on  the  specie  basis,  and  that  the  in- 
fluence of  the  premium  on  gold  as  a  price-making  factor  was  in 
the  direction  of  producing  currency  prices  equal  to  these  hypo- 
thetical specie  prices  multiplied  by  the  price  of  gold.  It  is  there- 
fore an  error  to  conclude  that  the  connection  between  wholesale 
prices  and  the  premium  was  of  slight  importance  because  com- 
modities taken  singly  diverge  widely  from  the  price  of  gold,  or 
because  the  general  price  tables  show  regularly  a  much  wider  field 
of  variation  than  that  covered  by  the  premium. 

But  if  business  relationships  did  not  force  the  prices  of  com- 
modities singly  to  comply  with  the  fluctuations  of  the  premium, 
why  did  the  general  price-level  rise  and  fall  in  substantial  har- 
mony with  it?  The  answer  is  that,  however  widely  single  com- 
modities would  have  varied  in  price  on  a  specie  basis,  the  average 
of  relative  prices  would  have  varied  within  comparatively  narrow 
limits.  Strong  probability  is  lent  to  this  assumption  by  Sauer- 
beck's index  number  for  England  and  Soetbeer's  for  Germany. 
Both  sets  of  data,  when  reduced  to  the  basis :  prices  in  1860^100, 
show  a  slight  fall  from  1860  to  1863,  a  slight  rise  from  1863  to 
1866,  a  slighter  fall  from  1866  to  1870  in  one  case  and  irregular 
minor  fluctuation  in  the  other,  a  more  decided  advance  from  1870 
to  1873,  and  then  a  fall  to  1878.  The  maxinuun  variations  of  the 
medians  for  the  years  of  the  paper  standard  are  107  and  88  in 
England,  113  and  98  in  Germany.  Somewhat  similar  would 
probably  have  been  the  course  of  the  wholesale  price-level  in  the 
United  States  had  specie  payments  been  maintained, — tho\i<i:h  the 
civil  war,  the  changes  in  import  duties,  and  the  speculative  char- 
acter of  business  transactions  would  perhaps  have  made  the  varia- 
tions somewhat  greater.  But  if  we  suppose  that  on  the  specie 
basis  the  American  price-level  would  have  conformed  in  its  lart^er 
movements  to  the  English  and  German  price-levels,  it  follows  that 
we  might  expect  our  general  averages  of  relative  i)riees  in  cur- 
rency to  rise  slower  than  the  price  of  gold  in  ISG^  and  18G3,  faster 
in  1864  and  1865 ;  to  move  in  general  harmony  with  the  premium 
in  1866  and  1S70:  then  to  rise  faster  or  fall  slower  than  the 
premium  until  1873;  and  finally  to  fall  faster  than  the  premium 
from  1873  to  1878. 


1908]         Mitchell— Gold,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  261 

Such  in  general  is  the  result  we  do  find.  But  there  are  several 
minor  deviations  from  this  result,  due  to  the  fact  that  the  average 
of  commodity-prices  moved  more  sluggishly  than  the  price  of 
gold.  The  readjustment  of  prices  effected  by  business  processes 
required  some  little  time,  whereas  the  premium  on  gold  changed 
with  great  rapidity.  The  result  was  that  the  curve  traced  by  the 
median  of  relative  prices  at  wholesale  appears  to  be  always  lag- 
ging somewhat  behind  the  curve  traced  by  gold  quotations. 

These  differences  between  the  movements  of  the  premium  and 
the  price-level,  like  the  general  correspondence  between  them, 
were  due  to  the  business  proce.s.ses  by  which  prices  were  deter- 
mined. (1)  The  wholesale  markets  for  several  of  the  commodi- 
ties for  which  we  have  quotations  were  almost  as  highly  organized 
as  the  market  for  gold.  Such,  for  example,  was  the  case  with  the 
markets  for  cotton  and  wheat.  But  the  markets  for  the  great 
mass  of  our  commodities  were  not  of  this  character.  Candles, 
cement,  tubs,  corn-starch,  putty,  shovels,  pine-boards,  dried  ap- 
ples, etc.,  etc.,  were  not  dealt  in  on  exchanges  by  men  alert  to 
every  passing  change  in  the  business  situation,  intent  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  every  passing  difference  in  quotations,  and  concerned 
with  no  other  business  problem  than  buying  and  selling  at  a 
y)rofit.  The  people  who  dealt  in  such  goods  habitually  allowed 
for  a  larger  margin  in  their  transactions,  and  found  their  profits 
affected  by  many  other  matters  than  the  differences  between  the 
buying  and  selling  prices  of  a  single  commodity.  Prices  in  these 
loosely  organized  markets  were  not  readjusted  to  a  new  business 
situation  with  the  celerity  characteristic  of  such  a  market  as  that 
for  foreign  exchange  or  gold. 

(2)  The  practice  among  business  men  of  entering  into  con- 
tracts to  receive  or  deliver  goods  at  .stipulated  prices  for  certain 
periods  in  the  future,  interfered  with  the  rapid  readjustment  of 
commodity  i)rices  whenever  the  premium  on  gold  changed.  To 
maintain  their  accustomed  rate  of  profit  business  men  who.se  con- 
tracts secured  them  supplies  at  th^  prices  of  a  previous  time  were 
not  compelled  to  advance  their  selling  prices  the  moment  gold 
rose.  So  far  as  competition  or  the  desire  to  increase  custom  en- 
tered into  the  business  motives  for  fixing  prices  in  such  cases,  they 
tended  to  prevent  prices  f  nmi  rising  until  new  contracts  at  higher 


262       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  i 

rates  had  to  be  made.  And  when  gold  was  falling  similar  con- 
ditions prevailed.  Men  paying  high  prices  on  old  contracts 
could  not  reduce  their  selling  prices  without  cutting  into  profits. 
So  far,  then,  as  business  was  transacted  in  goods  bought  or  con- 
tracted for  some  time  previously,  the  readjustment  of  selling 
prices  to  the  premium  was  delayed. 

(3)  It  is  assumed  in  the  preceding  statements  that  the  reason 
why  business  men  raised  the  prices  of  their  goods  when  gold  ad- 
vanced was  that  otherwise  their  profits  would  have  been  reduced ; 
and  the  reason  why  they  reduced  prices  when  gold  fell  was  that 
competition  or  unwillingness  of  customers  to  buy  theatened  loss 
of  business  otherwise.  The  exactness  and  promptness  with  which 
prices  were  adjusted  to  the  fluctuations  of  gold  depended,  there- 
fore, in  large  measure  on  the  immediacy  of  the  relation  between 
profits  and  prices.  Any  factor  which  sustained  profits  without 
an  advance  in  the  selling  prices  of  goods  dealt  in  or  manufactured, 
or  reduced  profits  independently  of  a  reduction  of  selling  prices, 
tended  to  prevent  business  men  from  raising  or  lowering  selling 
prices  quickly  when  the  premium  changed.  Such  a  f  actoi*  existed 
in  the  operating  expenses  of  business  establishments.  Rent  of 
business  premises,  salaries  of  officials,  superintendents,  and  clerks ; 
wages  of  laborers ;  fixed  chat'ges  on  permanent  investments — the 
amount  of  all  these  expenses  changed  much  more  slowly  than  the 
gold  premium.  Therefore,  even  when  an  advance  in  the  gold 
premium  immediately  caused  an  equivalent  increase  in  the  cast 
of  goods  bought,  an  eciuivalont  increase  in  selling  prices  was  not 
necessary  to  maintain  profits  at  the  old  level ;  for  these  slowly 
increasing  business  expenses  had  their  bearing  on  profits  (luite  as 
nnich  as  the  rapidly  increasing  cost  of  goods.  And  when  gold 
was  declining,  competition  keen  enough  to  keep  the  rate  of  profits 
stable  would  not  cause  a  reduction  of  selling  prices  so  rapid  as 
the  fall  of  gold — even  though  the  purchase-price  of  goods  fell 
pa7'i  passu  with  the  premium — ;  for  operating  expenses  deolined 
so  much  more  slowly.  The  relative  importance  of  these  expiMises, 
in  comparison  with  the  purchase-price  of  goods  bought,  varied 
greatly  from  establishment  to  establishment  and  from  commodity 
to  commodity — for  exami)le,  it  was  greater  on  the  average  in  fac- 
tories than  in  mercantile  establishments,  and  greater  in  the  case 


1908]        Mitchell— Gold,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  263 

of  finished  products  than  of  raw  materials — ;  but  wherever  it  en- 
tered at  all  it  retarded  the  adjustment  of  prices  to  the  premium. 
(4)  Finally,  it  has  been  pointed  out  that,  though  the  prices 
of  all  commodities  felt  the  influence  of  the  premium,  the  prices 
of  some  felt  it  less  directly  than  the  prices  of  others.  Goods 
made  from  imported  or  exported  articles,  and  substitutes  for 
them,  were  not  affected  in  price  so  promptly  as  the  exported  and 
imported  articles  themselves.  Still  slower  in  being  reached  were 
commodities  which  had  no  relation  with  imports  and  exports,  but 
whose  prices  were  finally  affected  because  the  general  demand  for 
them  increased,  or  because  producers  found  that  the  expenses  of 
conducting  business  and  of  living  had  advanced. 

Analysis  of  the  business  situation,  then,  shows  that  there  is  no 
difficulty  in  accounting  for  the  fact  that  the  price-level  in  the 
United  States  did  not  follow  perfectly  the  specie  price-levels  of 
Europe  and  the  premium  on  gold.  The  character  and  degree  of 
its  deviations  from  this  course  can  best  be  shown  by  a  transforma- 
tion of  Table  11,  which  shows  the  relative  prices  of  identical  lists 
of  commodities  (47  in  number)  in  the  United  States  and  Ger- 
many. Table  70  reproduces  the  medians  and  arithmetic  means 
of  this  table  and  shows  the  results  of  dividing  these  averages  for 
the  United  States  by  the  price  of  gold.  The  figures  for  gold  used 
for  each  year  are  the  averages  of  the  average  prices  for  the  four 
months  to  which  the  American  price  quotations  refer.  Of  the 
two  forms  of  average  the  medians  are  the  more  significant  at 
least  for  the  years  1862  to  1866,  because  the  arithmetic  means  of 
these  years  are  unduly  influenced  by  the  exceedingly  high  relative 
prices  of  cotton,  cotton  textiles,  and  tar. 

This  table  shows  that  the  American  price-level  comes  much 
nearer  corresponding  with  the  German  price-level  in  its  move- 
ments when  the  premium  on  gold  has  been  allowed  for;  but  it 
also  shows  considerable  deviations  between  the  revised  American 
and  the  German  price-level,  arising  from  the  fact  that  American 
prices  did  not  advance,  and,  still  more,  did  not  fall  so  promptly 
as  the  premium.  The  sharp  fall  of  prices  in  the  United  States 
in  1861  was  due  to  the  business  crisis — mainly  confined  to  this 
country — caused  by  the  secession   of  the  southern   states.     In

1862,  with  the  sudden  increase  of  demand  in  many  lines  of  trade 
caused  by  vast  jrovernment  purchases,  doubtl(»ss  prices  would 
have  sliown  a  recovery  on  the  specie  standard.  It  is  therc^fore 
particularly  si»miticant  that  the  fjold  premium  advanced  faster 
than  prices,  causin<r  a  further  fall  of  the  price-level  in  t(»rms  of 
gold.  In  1863  the  premium  and  prices  appear  to  have  kept  even 
pace;  but  this  appearance  results  from  the  fact  that  three  con- 
tradictory movements  are  combined  in  the  fitnires  for  the  whole 
year.  Karly  in  the  year  <rold  advanced  faster  than  prices,  latc^r 
it  fell  faster,  at  the  end  it  airain  advanced  far  faster.  ]\Iu(*h  the 
same  is  true  of  1864.  The  table  indicates  that  commodities' irained 
somewhat  on  jrold;  but  the  facts  an*  that  from  Januarv  to  Julv 


1908J        Mitchell— Gold,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  265 

gold  rose  with  a  rush  that  left  prices  far  behind,  and  from  July 
to  October  it  fell  fast  while  prices  were  still  rising  to  recover  the 
ground  they  had  earlier  lost.  The  agreement  between  the  specie 
price-levels  of  the  United  States  and  Germany  during  1863  and 
1864  would  therefore  not  appear  so  striking  if  the  data  were  for 
quarters  instead  of  years.  But  the  sudden  jump  in  the  specie 
price-level  in  1865  is  significant;  it  shows  that  American  prices 
did  not  fall  with  anything  like  the  rapidity  of  gold.  1866  is 
another  year  in  which  annual  averages  are  misleading;  for  gold 
fluctuated  through  a  wide  range;  first  falling,  then  rising,  then 
falling  again,  and  each  time  leaving  prices  behind.  The  further 
advance  in  the  specie  price-level  in  1867  and  1868  indicated  by 
the  medians  is  misleading  for  another  reason.  This  advance  does 
not  appear  in  the  table  for  all  commodities,  and  seems  to  be  due 
largely  to  the  fact  that  the  distribution  of  the  relative  prices  in 
the  center  of  the  tally-sheets  for  these  years  is  irregular.  The 
arithmetic  means  show  specie  prices  lower  in  both  these  years 
than  in  1866.  With  the  early  70 's  we  come  upon  another  trace 
of  harmony  between  the  American  and  German  price-levels.  One 
shows  1872,  the  other  1873,  as  the  year  of  maximum  specie  prices. 
From  the  year  of  the  crisis  to  the  end  of  the  paper  money  period 
also  there  is  agreement  in  that  both  price-leveLs  fall  and  reach 
almost  perfect  identity  in  1878  and  1879.  Commercial  conditions 
and  the  fall  of  the  premium  cooperated  to  bring  this  result  about 
in  the  Ignited  States:  but  the  former  factor  appears  to  have  been 
the  more  powerful ;  for  while  the  premium  rose  between  1874  and 
1875  prices  fell  decidedly. 

Fiirures  in  some  respects  more  satisfactory  are  given  in  Table 
71,  which  is  a  similar  transformation  of  the  general  table  of 
deciles  for  the  relative  prices  of  all  our  92  series  of  wholesale 
quotations  by  quarters.  This  table  shows  clearly  how  much  faster 
the  premium  moved  up  and  down  during  the  years  of  the  war 
than  did  i)rices.  Whenever  gold  rase  decidedly  specie  prices  fell, 
and  whrncv(*r  gold  fell  decidedly  specie  prices  rase.  But  prices 
followed  the  premium  steadily — though  at  some  distance — and 
after  the  war  stood  regularly  above  it,  so  that  the  gold  price-level 
was  above  100  constantly  from  April,  1865,  to  April.  1876.  The 
hi<rh<*st  point  was  136  in  April,  1866.     It  was  produced  by  a

sudden  drop  in  the  premium  accompanied  as  usual  by  a  much 
smaller  fall  of  currency  prices.  In*  1867  and  1868  the  price-level 
seemed  to  be  slowly  readjusting  itself  to  the  premium  of  about  40 
per  cent,  on  gold  which  ruled  durinji:  these  years  with  a  fair 
dejrree  of  steadiness.  But  in  1869  the  era  of  rapid  railway  build- 
injj: — the  most  conspicuous  feature  of  a  great  business  **boom'* — 
began  and  caused  prices  to  rise.  At  the  end  of  the  year  a  large 
and  permanent  fall  in  the  premium  occurred — from  about  37  per 
cent,  in  September,  1869,  to  an  average  of  about  13  per  cent,  for 


272       University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  l 

the  next  seven  years.  Prices  responded  rather  slowly  while  the 
business  **boom"  gathered  headway,  so  that  the  gold  price-level 
rose  in  1870,  declined  but  a  trifle  in  1871,  and  rose  again  in  1872. 
After  the  crisis  of  1873  the  premium  remained  fairly  steady 
until  1877;  but  the  long  delayed  readjustment  of  prices  to  a 
lower  level  proceeded  apace  under  the  impetus  of  business  de- 
pression. The  median  of  relative  prices  fell  below  the  monthly 
premium  on  gold  for  the  fifst  time  in  July,  1876.  The  usual 
winter  rise  of  prices,  combined  with  a  further  drop  in  the  pre- 
mium, carried  currency  prices  higher  than  gold  in  the  first  two 
quarters  of  the  next  year;  but  from  July,  1877,  to  the  resumption 
of  specie  payments  the  median  was  lower  than  the  premium,  so 
that  in  1878  the  specie  price-level  in  the  United  States,  like  the 
specie  price-levels  in  England  and  Germany,  was  lower  than  it 
had  been  in  1860. 

It  is  not  amiss  to  conclude  by  repeating  that  this  discussion 
does  not  attempt  to  explain  fully  the  fluctuations  of  prices  at 
wholesale  during  the  years  of  the  greenback  standard ;  but  deals 
only  with  the  connection  between  the  fluctuations  of  prices  at 
wholesale  and  the  fluctuations  of  the  premium  on  gold.  It  shows 
(1)  that  business  processes  maintained  a  general  harmony  be- 
tween these  two  sets  of  fluctuations;  (2)  that  the  effect  of  these 
processes  was  not  toward  producing  exact  correspondence  be- 
tween the  fluctuations  of  prices  and  the  premium,  but  toward 
making  the  fluctuations  of  prices  differ  from  what  they  would 
otherwise  have  been  by  margins  set  by  the  premium:  and  (3) 
that  this  result  was  not  accurately  produced,  because  business 
factors  impeded  somewhat  the  quick  adjustment  of  prices  to  the 
premium,  causing  them  to  rise  and  fall  more  slowly.  The  mate- 
rial provided  by  our  tables  does  not  suffice  for  more  elaborate 
investigations.  The  problems  remain  to  be  discussed :  What 
factors  controlled  the  premium  on  gold?  Were  the  fluctuations 
both  of  the  premium  and  of  prices  a  C(mseqnence  of  some  common 
cause,  such  as  the  changes  in  the  (|uantity  of  money?  What 
influence  was  exercised  on  the  price-levels  both  of  the  Tuited 
States  and  of  European  countries  by  the  great  economic  changes 
which  occurred  between  1862  and  1878?

///. — The  Inter-relations  between  Prices  at  Wholesale,  Prices  at 

Retail,  and  Prices  of  Labor. 

The  direct  influence  of  the  gold  premium  upon  prices  was 
not  felt  outside  of  wholesale  markets.  There  was  no  business 
reason  why  shop-keepers  should  take  direct  account  of  the  pre- 
mium on  gold  in  marking  their  wares,  or  why  employees  and 
workmen  should  make  the  premium  a  factor  in  their  bargaining 
about  rates  of  wages.  But  the  price-revolutions  in  wholesale 
markets,  caused  by  the  greenback  standard,  necessarily  spread  to 
retail  markets  for  commodities  and  to  markets  for  labor.  The 
processes  by  which  this  indirect  influence  of  the  premium  was 
brought  to  bear  upon  these  markets,  and  the  degrees  of  agree- 
ment and  difference  in  the  fluctuations  of  prices,  are  the  subjects 
of  this  section. 

The  business  process  by  which  the  fluctuations  in  retail  prices 
of  commodities  were  made  to  correspond  roughly  with  the  fluc- 
tuations of  wholesale  prices  is  too  obvious  to  require  explanation. 
The  only  difficulty  is  in  explaining  why  this  correspondence  was 
not  closer.  Both  the  general  tables  for  wholesale  and  retail  prices 
(Tables  4  and  21),  and  the  special  table  for  the  wholesale  and 
retail  prices  of  identical  lists  of  commodities  (Table  23),  indicate 
that  the  fluctuations  of  prices  at  retail  deviated  from  the  fluctu- 
ations of  prices  at  wholesale  in  much  the  same  way  that  the  latter 
deviated  from  the  fluctuations  of  the  premium.  That  is,  retail 
prices  wTre  somewhat  slower  in  rising  from  1863  to  1865,  and 
decidedly  slower  in  falling  after  1865. 

The  explanation  of  these  deviations  is  similar  to  the  expla- 
nation above  given  of  the  deviations  between  wholesale  prices  and 
gold.  First,  retail  markets  are  less  highly  organized  than  whole- 
sale markets.  The  sellers  and  still  more  the  buyers  are  on  the 
whole  less  capable  and  less  careful  bargainers,  less  concerned 
about  fractional  differences  in  prices,  less  intent  on  finding  out 
where  the  best  prices  can  be  had,  and  governed  less  exclusively 
bv  business  motives  in  their  actions.  Convention  and  the  influ- 
ence  of  round  members  impede  changes  in  the  retail  prices  of 
many  articles.    For  all  these  reasons  retail  prices  are  less  sensitive 


274      University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    IVol.  l 

than  wholesale  prices  to  minor  changes  in  the  business  situation, 
and  less  prompt  in  responding  to  important  changes. 

Again,  the  retail  dealer  usually  sells  to-day  wares  w^hich  he 
ordered  months  ago.  The  fact  that  wholesale  prices  have  fallen 
since  then  does  not  at  once  make  it  possible  for  him  to  reduce  his 
selling  prices  without  loss  of  profit.  Nor  is  he  always  able  to 
advance  retail  prices  the  moment  wholesale  prices  rise  without 
risking  loss  of  custom  to  his  competitors,  who  like  himself  are 
still  selling  the  goods  they  bought  before  the  rise.  Wholesale 
prices  of  previous  months,  rather  than  wholesale  prices  of  to-day, 
then,  are  the  prices  which  represent  the  cost  of  wares  to  the  re- 
tailer and  on  which  he  bases  selling  prices.  Of  course  this  fact 
tends  to  make  retail  prices  lag  behind  wholesale  prices  in  their 
movements. 

Once  more,  the  shop-keeper  is  subject  to  other  costs  than  the 
purchase  price  of  his  wares,  and  these  other  costs  have  far  less 
mobility  than  wholesale  prices.  The  rent  for  his  shop,  the  rates 
of  wages  paid  to  his  salesmen,  the  interest  computed  on  the  funds 
invested  in  his  business,  are  not  subject  to  frequent  changes. 
To  reduce  proportionately  the  selling  prices  of  his  wares  the 
moment  wholesale  prices  fall,  or  even  the  moment  he  receives  a 
new  consignment  of  goods  bought  at  lower  rates,  would  reduce 
his  profits  because  these  other  expenses  run  along  at  nearly  the 
old  rates  for  a  considerable  time.  And,  for  the  same  reason,  the 
shop-keeper  can  make  his  accustomed  profit  without  advancing 
the  selling  prices  of  his  goods  proportionately  the  moment  he 
begins  to  pay  higher  wholesale  prices. 

Finally,  the  wholesale  prices  which  shop-keepers  pay  are 
wholesale  prices  of  finished  products.  As  was  incidentally  re- 
marked in  the  preceding  section,  and  as  is  shown  in  Tables  72 
and  73,  finished  products  vary  less  in  wholesale  prices  than  do 
raw  materials.  They  advance  and  recede  more  slowly  and  in  less 
extreme  degree.  Even  if  retail  prices  kept  even  pace  with  the 
fluctuations  of  the  wholesale  prices  of  the  same  wares,  they  would 
for  this  reason  move  more  sluggishly  than  the  general  wholesale 
price-level. 

With  these  facts  in  mind  one  has  no  difficulty  in  understand- 
ing why  retail  prices  rose  more  slowly  than  wholesale  prices  from 


1908]        Mitchell.— Gold,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880,  275 

1863  to  1865,  reached  their  maximum  about  a  year  later,  declined 
more  slowly  from  1866  to  1879,  and  rose  less  sharply  in  1880. 

The  changes  in  both  wholesale  and  retail  prices  of  commodities 
bore  upon  the  price  of  labor.  Wholesale  prices  affected  the  prices 
which  employers  could  pay  for  labor  without  changing  profits. 
The  farmer  or  the  manufacturer  whose  products  had  risen  in 
price  was  in  a  position  to  grant  an  increase  in  wages,  if  compelled 
to  do  so,  without  reducing  profits  below  their  former  level.  And 
when  these  employers  had  to  sell  their  products  at  lower  prices, 
their  profits  would  fall  unless  they  succeeded  in  reducing  the 
cost  of  labor.  Prom  this  point  of  view  there  was  therefore  a 
business  bond  between  the  prices  of  commodities  at  wholesale  and 
the  price  of  labor.  Prom  the  point  of  view  of  the  laborer,  on  the 
contrary,  the  important  commodity-prices  were  those  which  af- 
fected cost  of  living.  Preceding  tables  show  that  the  cost  of 
living  corresponded  rather  closely  with  the  general  movements  of 
retail  prices,  but  rose  and  fell  more  slowly — primarily  because 
of  the  sluggish  movements  of  house-rents  (see  Table  27).  To 
maintain  his  real  wages  unchanged,  therefore,  and  provided  con- 
stancy of  employment  did  not  vary,  the  wage-earner  must  have 
charged  a  price  for  his  labor  advancing  somewhat  more  slowly 
than  retail  prices  to  a  maximum  in  1866,  and  then  falling  some- 
what more  slowly  to  a  minimum  in  1879. 

Had  the  market  for  labor  offered  no  independent  resistance, 
the  combined  effect  of  these  two  forces  might  have  produced 
fluctuations  in  the  price  of  labor  of  a  type  intermediate  between 
the  rapid  movements  of  wholesale  prices  and  the  slow  movements 
of  cost  of  living.  But  the  preceding  tables  have  shown  that 
nothing  of  this  sort  happened.  On  the  contrary,  the  fluctuations 
of  the  price  of  labor  were  even  slower  than  the  fluctuations  of 
cost  of  living.  Once  more,  the  explanation  is  to  be  found  in  the 
peculiar  characteristics  of  the  market  for  the  goods  we  are  dis- 
cussing. 

In  the  '60 's  and,  though  in  somewhat  less  degree,  in  the  70 's, 
the  labor  market  of  the  United  States  was  one  in  which  individual 
bargaining  prevailed.  Now  the  individual  laborer  is  a  poor 
bargainer.     He  is  ignorant  of  the  passibilities  of  his  situation, 


276      Vniversity  of  California  Publications  in  Economics,    l^'ol- 1 

exposed  to  the  competition  of  others  with  the  same  disabilities, 
more  anxious  to  sell  than  the  employer  to  buy.  Moreover,  custom 
in  the  form  of  rooted  ideas  about  what  is  a  **fair  wage*'  has  a 
peculiarly  tenacious  hold  upon  the  minds  of  both  parties  in  the 
labor  market,  weakening  the  wage-earner's  aggression  and 
strengthening  the  employer's  resistance.  Finally,  as  was  sug- 
gested in  the  chapter  on  wages,  constancy  of  employment  was 
probably  above  the  average  during  the  years  when  prices  were 
rising,  and  tended  to  sustain  the  wage-earner's  money  income 
without  so  considerable  an  increase  in  the  price  of  labor  as  would 
otherwise  have  been  necessary. 

These  well-known  facts  make  it  seem  natural  that  the  price 
of  labor  should  have  advanced  less  rapidly  than  the  cost  of  living 
up  to  1866,  despite  the  fact  that  enlistments  in  the  anny  took 
tens  of  thousands  of  men  out  of  the  labor  market  during  the  war. 
It  does  not  seem  so  natural  that  the  price  of  labor  should  have 
continued  to  advance  for  five  or  six  years  after  1866,  despite  the 
fact  that  prices  at  wholesale  and  the  cost  of  living  were  both 
declining,  and  that  the  soldiers  were  returning  to  their  old  occu- 
pations. The  explanation  of  this  fact  is  one  of  the  problems 
which  requires  for  solution  other  material  than  our  tables  afford. 
But  it  may  be  pointed  out  (1)  that  it  was  not  until  1867,  accord- 
ing to  Table  68,  that  relative  wages  stood  higher  than  relative 
cost  of  living;  and  (2)  that  the  era  of  active  railway  building 
with  its  great  demand  for  labor  began  in  1869.  The  fall  in  the 
price  of  labor  after  the  crisis  of  1873,  however,  is  what  the  course 
of  wholesale  prices  and  cost  of  living  would  lead  one  to  expect. 
From  1874  to  1879  the  price  of  labor  fell  faster  than  the  cost  of 
living,  as  if  in  a  belated  attempt  to  make  up  for  its  failure  to 
start  promptly  on  the  downward  path. 

A  more  definite  idea  of  the  relation  between  the  fluctuations 
of  the  several  classes  of  prices  can  be  had  by  recurring  to  statis- 
tical presentation.  There  are  two  important  industries — the 
manufacture  of  cotton  and  of  woolen  textiles — for  which  we 
have  sufficient  material  to  permit  a  comparison  of  the  fluctuations 
in  the  prices  of  the  basic  raw  material,  of  important  finished 
products  at  wholesale  (and  at  retail  also  in  the  case  of  cotton)^

and  of  labor.  This  material  is  presented  in  Tables  73  and  74,  and 
more  clearly  shown  in  the  accompanying  charts.  For  purposes 
of  comparison  the  prices  of  gold  are  included.  To  make  the 
figures  for  the  different  classes  of  prices  as  nearly  alike  as  pos- 
sible, annual  averages  are  used  in  place  of  monthly  figures  for 
gold,  quarterly  figures  for  wholesale  prices,  and  semi-annual 
figures  for  wages.  The  relative  prices  for  textiles  are  averages 
of  the  relative  prices  of  broadcloths  (two  qualities),  cassimeres 
(two  qualities),  checks,  horse-blankets,  and  shawls  in  the  case  of 
wool;  and  of  prints,  brown  sheetings,  bleached  sheetings,  and 
tickings  in  the  case  of  cotton.  Arithmetic  means  are  used  instead 
of  medians  because  the  groups  are  so  small.

IV. — The  Economic  Significance?  of  the  Price-revolutions  of  the 

Greenback  Period. 

Writers  upon  money  usually  state  that  it  performs  three 
functions,  serving  as  a  common  denominator  of  value,  a  medium 
of  exchange,  and  a  standard  of  deferred  payments.  To  enumer- 
ate the  functions  of  money  in  this  fashion,  however,  is  very  far 
from  suggesting  the  importance  of  the  role  which  money  plays 
in  economic  life.  To  understand  this  role  attention  must  be  fixed 
upon  the  complex  mechanism  of  prices,  rather  than  upon  money 
itself.    It  is  impossible  in  this  place  to  show  the  many  ways  in 


280      University  of  California  Puhlicatians  in  Economics.    [Vol.  1 

which  this  social  mechanism  affects  economic  life;  but  a  brief 
statement  of  the  relations  between  prices  and  fundamental  eco- 
nomic processes  is  required  to  suggest  the  significance  of  the 
changes  in  different  classes  of  prices  which  have  been  exhibited 
in  the  preceding  chapters. 

From  the  point  of  view  of  the  men  who  direct  it,  the  pro- 
duction of  wealth  Ls  nowadays  a  business  process  of  selling  goods 
for  more  than  they  have  cost,  and  is  conducted  for  the  sake  of 
getting  money  profits.  The  technical  processes  involved  in  va- 
rious departments  of  business — farming,  manufacturing,  trans- 
portation and  commerce — are,  in  the  eyes  of  the  business  men 
who  direct  them,  simply  subordinate  parts  of  this  business  process 
— certain  of  the  steps  necessary  to  make  profits  by  selling  at  prices 
which  exceed  the  money  cost.  It  is  hardly  too  much  to  say  that 
from  the  standpoint  of  the  business  men  in  control,  the  production 
of  wealth  is  simply  an  incidental  feature  in  the  business  process 
of  making  money. 

Alongside  these  business  enterprises  incidentally  concerned 
with  the  production,  manufacture,  and  distribution  of  material 
goods,  stand  the  business  enterprises  concerned  with  finance: — 
banks,  trust  companies,  insurance  companies,  stock  and  bond 
houses — in  short  the  whole  mechanism  of  the  investment  and 
money  markets.  These  enterprises,  like  the  preceding  class,  are 
conducted  for  the  sake  of  pecuniary  profits,  and  their  profits  also 
depend  on  selling  at  prices  higher  than  the  prices  paid.  They 
represent  the  highest  development  and  the  most  complex  ad- 
justments of  the  whole  business  organization,  and  all  other  enter- 
prises are  bound  to  them  by  the  various  forms  of  pecuniary 
obligations. 

The  distribution  of  the  wealth  produced  by  enterprises  of  the 
first  sort  supported  by  financial  aid  from  enterprises  of  the  second 
sort  is  effected  by  means  of  prices.  Wages  is  the  price  i)aid  for 
labor,  interest  the  price  paid  for  the  use  of  loan-funds,  rent  the 
price  paid  for  the  use  of  material  goods  which  must  be  returned 
without  substantial  deterioration,  and  profits  is  the  residue  of  the 
aggregate  prices  received  after  the  aggregate  prices  i)aid  for  the 
factors  of  production,  for  materials,  etc.,  have  been  deducted.

To  the  individual,  indeed,  economic  welfare  depends  primarily 
upon  the  money  income  he  is  able  to  get  under  the  conditions 
presented  by  the  price-system,  and  upon  the  aggregate  prices 
which  he  must  pay  for  what  he  wishes  to  consume. 

IVFoney  prices,  in  brief,  are  the  formal  basis  on  which  the 
economic  relations  of  individuals  in  modern  society  are  organized 
and  the  formal  mechanism  by  which  economic  processes  are  car- 
ried on.  It  follows  that  the  economic  relations  of  individuals  and 
the  conduct  of  economic  processes  are  subject  to  alteration  by 
changes  in  the  system  of  prices. 

The  relation  between  the  changes  in  the  system  of  prices  and 
the  economic  activity  of  men  is  partly  a  relation  of  effect,  partly 
one  of  cause.  Most  prices  result  from  voluntary  agreements 
entered  into  by  independent  individuals  or  corporations.  Even 
when  prices  are  established  by  public  authority,  or  practically 
forced  by  one  party  on  another,  they  are  a  product  of  man's  will 
and  changes  are  made  to  suit  man 's  purposes.  But  it  is  also  true 
that  the  system  of  prices  has  a  quasi-independence  of  the  will  of 
individuals  or  even  of  the  whole  community.  It  has  a  logic  of 
its  own  in  the  same  sense  that  a  mathematical  investigation  has ; 
it  presents  technical  exigencies  in  the  same  sense  that  a  mechan- 
ical process  does.  Men  who  make  use  of  the  system  of  prices  in 
their  economic  activity  are  constrained  to  obey  its  logic  and  to 
adapt  themselves  as  best  they  may  to  its  technical  exigencies. 

These  general  statements  help  to  suggest  the  part  which  the 
price-revolutions  of  the  greenback  period  played  in  the  economic 
history  of  that  time.  Perhaps  the  clearest  conception  of  the  price- 
revolutions  is  gained  by  regarding  them  as  changes  made  by  the 
business  community  in  its  effort  to  adapt  itself  to  the  monetary 
conditions  created  by  an  inconvertible  paper  currency.  Why 
men  paid  the  currency  prices  they  did  for  gold  is  a  problem  which 
has  several  times  been  mentioned  only  to  be  set  aside  as  insoluble 
without  more  material  than  has  been  presented.  But,  granted 
the  fluctuations  of  the  premium,  the  fluctuations  in  the  prices  of 
other  goods  were  the  adjustments  which  men  using  prices  as  the 
basis  of  their  economic  relations  were  constrained  to  make  by 
circumstances  beyond  their  control. 


282      University  of  California  Publications  in  Economics.    [Vol.  l 

Of  course,  different  classes  of  men  were  affected  in  different 
ways  by  price-changes,  and  in  turn  used  their  economic  influence 
to  effect  changes  of  different  sorts, — so  in  all  cases  our  figures 
show  the  resultants  of  complex  sets  of  opposing  forces.  The 
process  of  change  was  attended  by  serious  friction ;  but  the  final 
chart  shows  that  despite  this  friction  the  price-system  displayed 
remarkable  flexibility.  Wholesale  prices  lagged  behind  gold,  to 
be  sure ;  retail  prices  lagged  behind  wholesale  prices,  cost  of  living 
behind  retail  prices,  and  wages  behind  cost  of  living.  An  eco- 
nomic theorist,  accustomed  to  imagine  immediate  and  accurately 
guaged  changes  of  prices  occurring  in  a  f  rictionless  hypothetical 
market  under  the  stimulus  of  some  /'disturbing  factor,''  might 
perhaps  regard  this  lagging  of  one  class  of  prices  behind  another 
as  an  important  deviation  from  the  ** natural''  course  of  events. 
But  a  student  of  prices  in  less  highly  organized  business  com- 
munities, or  an  economic  historian  familiar  with  earlier  price- 
revolutions,  would  be  much  more  impressed  by  the  rapidity  and 
system  with  which  prices  of  different  classes  of  goods  were 
changed,  than  by  the  lack  of  completeness  in  the  adjustment. 

It  is  remarkable  that  these  price-revolutions  were  effected 
without  bringing  more  serious  economic  disaster  upon  the  com- 
munity. The  conduct  of  economic  processes  by  a  complex  mech- 
anism of  prices,  supplemented  by  a  complex  system  of  credits, 
might  be  expected  to  produce  dire  confusion  when  the  prices  of 
different  classes  of  commodities  changed  so  rapidly  and  in  such 
different  degrees.  But  the  flexibility  which  the  price  system 
displayed  was  an  ordered  flexibility,  and  the  nuitual  relations  of 
its  different  parts  were  maintained  without  fundamental  change, 
so  that  business  continued  to  be  conducted  in  a  fairly  normal 
fashion.  To  be  sure,  a  great  business  crisis  and  several  years  of 
profound  business  depression  occurred  during  the  period  of  the 
greenback  standard.  But  neither  can  be  ascribed  in  large  mea- 
sure to  its  influence.  For  the  crisis  of  1873  and  the  resulting 
period  of  depression  were  felt  quite  as  severely  in  P^uropeau 
countries  with  specie  standards.  Moreover,  the  crisis  came  in 
the  United  States  after  the  mast  startling  fluctuations  in  the 
prices  of  gold  and  commodities  had  long  been  passed,  and  at  the 
end  of  nearly  four  years  of  a  relatively  stable  premium.     The 


1908]         Mitchell— Gold,  Prices,  and  Wages,  1860-1880.  283 

much  more  extraordinary  fluctuations  of  1865,  when  the  median 
of  relative  wholesale  prices  fell  58  points  in  six  months,  passed 
without  disaster. 

But,  though  these  changes  in  the  price-level  were  effected  with- 
out producing  the  catastrophes  which  might  have  been  expected, 
they  were  not  without  important  consequences  on  the  distribution 
and  production  of  wealth.  It  has  been  shown  that  the  real  in- 
comes of  wage-earners  were  seriously  affected  by  the  changes  in 
cost  of  living  and  money  wages.  It  may  also  be  inferred  from 
the  tables  that  the  economic  welfare  of  all  recipients  of  fixed 
incomes  was  altered  more  than  once.  Analysis  would  also  show 
that  the  dissimilar  fluctuations  of  wholesale  prices  and  of  wages 
must  have  influenced  profits.  And  if  data  were  at  hand  to  show 
variations  in  the  rates  of  interest  on  long  and  short  loans  it  would 
appear  that  lending  capitalists,  like  other  classes,  had  their  share 
in  the  vicissitudes  of  the  period.  Finally,  changes  in  the  distri- 
bution of  wealth,  particularly  changes  in  profits,  in  their  turn 
influenced  the  production  of  wealth.  But  these  changes  in  dis- 
tribution and  production  cannot  be  profitably  studied  without 
the  use  of  other  data  than  our  tables  supply. 

The  tables  of  this  book,  then,  suggest  more  problems  than  they 
solve.  Logically  first  is  the  problem  of  the  causes  which  con- 
trolled the  specie  value  of  the  greenback  dollar.  Second  is  the 
problem  concerning  the  various  factors  other  than  the  premium 
on  gold  which  affected  prices.  Third  is  the  problem  how  the 
business  community  was  able  to  avoid  more  frequent  and  more 
serious  disasters  from  the  instability  of  prices.  Finally  come  the 
problems  just  suggested — the  consequences  of  the  fluctuations  in 
the  prices  of  different  classes  of  economic  goods  upon  the  distri- 
bution and  production  of  wealth.  The  statistical  material  which 
is  here  presented  affords  an  indispensable  part  of  the  data  re- 
quired for  defining  and  solving  all  of  these  problems;  but  only 
a  part.

TABLE  2. 

Belative  prices  of  153  commodities  at  wholesale,  by  quarters:  1860-1880. 

Note. — The  following  table  gives  in  detail  the  quarterly  series  of  relative 
prices  at  wholesale  used  in  Chapter  II.  The  arrangement  of  the  series  is 
alphabetical.  The  references  are  to  the  pages  of  the  Aldrich  Report,  Parts  2 
and  4,  where  the  original  series  of  actual  prices  may  be  found.  The  series 
for  wool,  however,  are  based  upon  Mauger  and  Avery's  table,  published  in 
the  Statistical  Abstract  of  the  United  States,  1905,  p.  538.  The  ''base 
prices"  are  the  actual  prices  in  January,  1860  in  most  cases.  But  in  the 
case  of  lumber  and  a  few  other  articles  they  are  actual  prices  in  July  or 
October,  1860,  and  in  the  case  of  agricultural  products  they  are  averages  of 
the  actual  prices  for  the  months  of  1860  covered  by  the  data.  By  noticing 
what  month  in  1860  has  a  relative  price  of  100  one  can  distinguish  these 
cases.  When  the  sum  of  the  relative  prices  for  the  four  quarters  of  1860  is 
400,  the  *  *  base  price  * '  is  the  average  of  the  actual  prices.  The  asterisks  at 
the  heads  of  certain  columns  show  what  series  were  grouped  to  form  series 
of  average  relative  prices.  The  series  so  marked  were  not  used  in  compiling 
the  tables  of  the  text;  but  the  series  of  average  relative  prices  made  from 
them  were  used.     For  further  explanations  see  Chapter  II,  Section  i.

TABLE  3. 

Relative  wholesale  prices  of  identical  lists  of  commodities  in  the  United  States 

and  England,  the  United  States  and  Germany,  and  England 

and  Germany:  by  years,  1860-1880. 

Note. — The  American  fibres  are  based  on  average  actual  prices  in  Janu- 
ary, April,  July,  and  October  of  each  year.  The  English  prices  are  from 
Sauerbeck 's  table,  re-computed  on  the  basis :  actual  prices  in  1860  =  100. 
The  German  figures  are  from  Soetbeer^s  table;  similarly  re-computed.  For 
further  explanations,  see  Chapter  II,  Section  iii,  pp.  31-33.

TABLE  4. 

Helative  prices  of  60  commodities  at  retail  in  various  towns:  by  yearSy 

1860-1880. 

Note. — The  series  in  the  following  table  are  arranged  (1)  alphabetically 
by  commodities,  (2)  geographically  by  states,  and  (3)  alphabetically  by 
towns  within  the  states.  The  references  give  the  pages  of  the  Report  on  the 
Average  Betail  Prices  of  Necessaries  of  Life  in  the  United  States,  by  Jos.  D. 
Weeks  (Tenth  Cersus,  Vol.  XX),  on  which  the  series  of  actual  prices  may  be 
found.  The  base  prices  shown  in  the  table  are  actual  prices  in  1860,  or,  when 
that  is  missing,  in  1861.  For  further  explanations  regarding  the  character 
of  the  material,  see  Chapter  III,  Section  iv.

TABLE  5. 
Relative  rates  of  wages  from  Table  XII  of  the  "Aldrich  Report, 


tt 


Note. — The  following  table  gives  in  detail  the  527  series  of  relative 
wages  used  in  compiling  the  tables  presented  in  Chapter  IV,  Section  i.  The 
arrangement  is  based  upon  that  of  the  original  series  of  actual  wages  in  the 
"Exhibits"  of  the  Aldrich  Report,  Parts  ii-iv.  The  several  industries  are 
in  alphabetical  order;  the  establishments  in  each  industry  are  in  numerical 
order;  and  the  several  occupations  in  each  establishment  are  in  alphabetical 
order.  To  facilitate  access  to  the  source,  I  have  retained  the  numbers  as- 
signed to  each  establishment  in  the  Aldrich  Report,  and  also  given  a  page 
reference  for  each  series.  The  ''base  wages"  shown  are  the  actual  wages 
upon  which  the  ** relative  wages"  for  each  date  have  been  computed.  Ex- 
cept when  otherwise  stated  in  a  foot-note,  they  are  actual  wages  per  day  in 
January,  1860.  The  columns  headed  "No."  show  the  number  of  persons 
reported  for  each  date  as  following  the  specified  occupation  in  the  specified 
establishment  and  receiving  the  corresponding  relative  wages.

TABLE  6. 

Eelntive  wages  from  Weeks's  Beport  in  Volume  XX  of  the  Tenth  Census: 

by  years,  1S60-1880. 

Note. — The  following  table  presents  the  1,447  series  of  relative  rates  of 
wages  from  which  the  summary  tables  of  Chapter  IV,  Section  ii,  were  con- 
structed. The  series  are  arranged  by  establishments,  the  -establishments  by 
industries,  and  the  industries  alphabetically  by  titles.  All  the  textile  indus- 
tries are  groupe<l  together  under  the  letter  T,  and  the  wood-working  indus- 
tries under  the  letter  W.  This  order  is  that  of  the  source.  To  facilitate 
reference  to  the  original  data,  the  page  of  the  census  volume  on  which  the 
returns  for  each  establishment  are  given  is  indicated.  The  "base  wages" 
are  the  rates  prevailing  in  1860,  or,  when  data  for  1860  are  missing,  in  1861. 
For  further  explanations  see  pp.  92,  175,  176.

TABLE  7. 

Actual  wages  per  day  of  ** common  laborers**  employed  by  manufacturing 

establishments  in  1866,  1869,  1875,  and  1870. 

Note. — The  following  table  gives  the  material  from  which  Table  62 
(p.  222)  is  made,  so  far  as  concerns  the  figures  for  factory  laborers.  The 
references  to  the  ** census''  are  to  the  Report  on  the  Statistics  of  Wages  in 
Manufacturing  Industries,  by  Jos.  D.  Weeks,  Tenth  Census,  Vol.  XX. 
**Ahlrich''  stands  for  the  Aldrich  Report  of  1893,  Parts  ii-iv  (see  above, 
p.  16,  n).  The  data  are  given  for  the  years  for  which  corresponding  infor- 
mation about  farm  wages  is  available.  For  further  explanations  see  pp. 
220-223  above.
