Wheat price ties to silver in India says bimetallist
At a 1897 American Bimetallic League convention in Washington Moreton Frewin argues India’s silver rupee conversion to wheat keeps Indian exports tied to silver price. He shows a 60 cent silver dollar could back a bushel of wheat in India, pulling down U.S. wheat prices when Indian wheat exports exist, noting droughts have shortened India's crop for two years but expecting future exports. He defends the honest 100 cent silver dollar and attacks fraud affecting purchasing power.
