Professor Laughlin argues for a single gold standard with silver only for subsidiary coinage
In Chicago before the Wau Bangee club, Professor Lawrence Laughlin of the University of Chicago presents facts favoring gold as the sole standard. He challenges the quantity theory, notes price movements diverge from money supply, and explains silver’s fall due to gold production and improved production reducing costs. He cites wages rising while consumer prices fall, and analyzes farmer prices versus silver.

Gold supply and value in historic discussion
The article explains that gold's total stock, not annual production, drives value. It estimates historic gold in existence, compares it with world currencies, and argues abundance lowers nothing but supports silver's decline. It cites Barker and Laughlin debates on price indices and silver demotion versus commodity prices.
