The Law of Supply and Demand and Silver Reform
W. H. Kircun argues that changes in money supply and demonetization of silver drive price levels. He contends that halving money or banning mules lowers commodity values, while restoring silver to 16 to 1 would raise prices, benefiting labor and debtors but harming creditors. He urges experiment to test unlimited silver coinage and links policy to widespread price declines since 1873.

Debunking Metallism and Embracing Statism in Finance
Jno. K. Rankry argues that metallism is a relic and should be discarded in favor of fiat currency and statism. He claims the gold standard harmed the economy since 1873, urges elimination of metallic money, and champions fiat as the government's legal tender while viewing bimetallism as a temporary, insufficient fix.
