Excerpt from Speeches on Remonetization of Silver and Resumption
Ido not mean that, in the thousands of years during which men have been at work in the mines, these metals have not grown in quantity, as compared with other values, and the uses to which they have been destined, and that, consequently, prices have not grown; but that growth has been so imperceptible as to be detected only by the comparison of different centuries.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, drawing on speeches given in the late 19th century, delves into the history and context of the silver standard issue in the United States. A discussion of the gold standard, inflation, contraction, the panic of 1873, and the Resumption Act of 1875, demonstrate the multifaceted nature of the debate surrounding the United States' return to specie payments after the Civil War. The author argues that the Resumption Act was an important step in stabilizing the country's finances, and that the country's return to the gold standard was ultimately beneficial for the economy. The insights offered in this book provide a valuable historical perspective on the challenges and triumphs of the United States' monetary policy during this transformative era.
