O.P. Austin, 'Adoption of the Gold Standard in Japan'

Currently working in the Kluge Center of the Library of Congress, I found a report about Matsukata Masayoshi's 1899 publication on the adoption of the gold standard in Japan. As this report is probably quite rare (and its existence unknown), I scanned it into a .pdf file and uploaded it in the 'available for download'-node. The report throws an interesting light on the contemporary debate about the assumed superiority of certain monetary standards over others.
