A Louisville Courier Journal提 article argues that gold has fallen in value not due to scarcity but because its supply rose faster than demand. It notes U S government debt interest fell from 6 percent in 1873 to 3 to 3 1/2 percent in 1896 and railroad bond yields dropped from 7–10 percent to about 3 percent, lowering freight costs for farmers.
