Fall of Prices and Silver Theory in New York Tribune
The Hon. David A. Wells argues in a New York Tribune piece that prices have fallen globally since 1873, with silver demonetization blamed only in the United States. He contends gold appreciation lacks proof, noting no commodity decline can be tied to gold and highlighting widespread wage trends, production costs, and monetary dynamics across nations.

Repudiation and dishonor on the 1877 monetary crisis sermon
The excerpt reproduces a Beecher Thanksgiving sermon from 1877 condemning tampering with money standards. It argues that gold must be the universal standard, that other currencies derive value from gold, and that paying debts with inferior money betrays public faith and invites moral and financial ruin. It cites national risk, foreign capitalists, and the peril of law and finance in unison.
