Resumption on Gold and Silver Debts in 1878
The St. Louis Republican contrasts resumption on a single gold basis with a gold and silver basis, arguing a gold standard raises debts by 2 percent while a combined system cuts them by 4 percent.

It contends silver remonetization would advance resumption and calls for limited silver to back paper money without abolishing it.
