Dollars or What Coinage of Silver Claims
The writer rejects the theory that prices must rise with more silver money, arguing wheat and coffee values would not align with silver abundance. Using 1878 prices as a baseline, they show wheat at 1 dollar per bushel would not reach 7 dollars, and coffee at 11 cents would not reach 77 cents, labeling such arithmetic as foolish and baseless in arguing for unlimited silver coinage. The essay questions the core premise of silver dollar advocates.
