Gold standard and silver use in currency debate
The piece argues the gold standard does not force limits on currency use and notes heavy silver use alongside gold. It asserts ample gold with rising production and improving finances, citing April treasury receipts and a $153 million gold reserve, and mentions W. J. Bryan recovering from injuries after a fall on a platform in St Augustine, warning future instability if he stands on such platforms.

Jefferson and the gold silver monetary debate described
A long discussion argues Thomas Jefferson favored both metals at natural market ratios and opposed cheap money. It cites his writings on currency values, the demonetization of silver, and his stance on adopting a market based legal ratio. The piece contrasts silver advocates with Jeffersonian finance principles and touches on Japan’s currency shifts.
