The speaker cites a 40 percent price drop and asserts foreign protectionism plus global overproduction as causes. He argues that monetary changes in Europe, not just trade policy, drove persistent depressions, noting wheat yields and world population growth to explain demand shifts and price falls. He references the gold and silver commission for further reading and presents data on wheat production and prices across 1891 to 1893.
