The piece argues that free coinage would raise silver’s purchasing power and money supply, benefiting debtors and taxpayers while offering miners no real advantage, as gains come from higher silver value and lower gold value. It claims the gold standard would not be harmed and price declines would ease from extended silver use.
The piece argues the gold dollar is a stable standard since it equals itself and is worth about twice as much in commodities compared to twenty years ago. It contends debtors should have the option to pay with gold but cannot force others to accept it.
