Purdy and the Gold Dollar in a Times Letter
William F. Tick raises a critique from New York about gold’s value and the gold standard. The letter questions why Lawson Purdy of the Tax Board is not challenged for advocating a hard money policy. Tick contrasts past promises of a stable gold dollar with centuries of price shifts and the possible impact if Britain and the U.S. move away from gold.
