Cost of the Gold Standard Advocated in 19th Century Debate
Stanford economist Edward A. Ross warns in a San Francisco Examiner article that continuing price declines would cause the dollar to appreciate about 24 percent annually, adding over 500 million dollars in annual burden against a 20.297 billion dollar national debt. He says the gold standard taxes debtors, throttles production, and risks chronic crises, arguing against inflation and free coinage while criticizing gold standard proponents. He notes wage gains do not offset price falls and urges stopping further price declines.

The Long History of Gold Standards in American Debate
The text presents a congress of opinions about monetary value, gold as the standard, and political positions. It cites Helen Keller and William V. Rooxer, discusses Bryan and McKinley, and uses a parable of a loan repaid in dust or bullion to argue against a market only standard. It questions fixed valuations and the consequences of differing local values, urging a careful stance on currency policy.
