In the foregoing table the effect of an inflated paper currency is shown by 

 the currency prices from 1862 to 1878. 



The course of prices and wages will be more readily seen by constructing 

 diagrams from the figures of the foregoing table, omitting the currency column, 

 as of no pressing interest at the present time. Diagram IV. (page 629), 

 shows the gold prices ; diagram V. (page 629), the silver prices ; diagram VI.
