An Analysis of Prices
Covering Long Period.
In a little pamphlet entitled
“Basic Facts of Prosperity,” pub
lished by the Curtis Publishing
Company, analysis of wholeasle
and retail prices and wages for
the years 1800 to 1872 is given. :
The figure of 100 is taken as the j
basic level of all three in 1860.
There was a gradual rise during
1861 and 1862 and 1863, and at
the end of the latter year whole-!
sale prices were at 100; retail
prices at 140; and wages at 130.
During the year 1864 came the
sharpest rise, and wholesale ,
prices jumped to the 210 mark,
reaching the peak in January, I
1865. Meanwhile, both retail
prices and wages had tafcen a
more gradual rise, the former
standing at 165 in January and
wages being at 150. ,
In April, 1865, the war ended 1
and there came a sudden drop in
wholesale prices, which fell to.
160 in July of that year and then j
rallied to 180 by the end of the j
year. Retail prices and wages
continued a steady rise through
out the year, not being affected
by the end of the war, and
reaching the respective levels of
170 and 165 at the end of 1865,
In the year following the close
* of the war, or 1865, there was a
marked variation in the trend of
the three. Wholesale prices fluct
uated rather violently but with a
constant downward trend, and
they continued this downward
course with occasional sharp ral
lies for seven years,following the
war, scoring a net loss of from
live to ten points a year, until in
1872, just prior to the great panic,
they were at 130 or just 30 points
above the pre-war figure.
The wise man will save and in
vest his money in Government
securities until prices come
down.
