Is Bimetallism Practicable?

http://www.silver-money.net/is+bimetallism+practicable

Can this great nation coin silver and gold on the same terms, at the ratio. Of 16 to 1, and maintain a substantial parity? This question, like all others in political economy, may he argued. Theoretically or on the basis of actual experience. The monometallists say. That one metal or the other always has been and always will be the cheaper. At any ratio; that if both be freely coined, the dearer will be more. Valuable as bullion than as money, and will therefore go out of use. They. Be settled, as the ti...

Relative Production of Gold and Silver

http://www.silver-money.net/relative+production+of+gold+and+silver

Relative Production of Gold and Silver. Among the many plausible pleas of the monometallists, the most plausible,. Perhaps, is the plea that the great divergence between the metals since. 1873 has been due entirely to the increased production of silver. A very. Brief examination, I think, will show its falsity, and that it is equally. False in fact and fallacious in logic; for, first, there has been no great. That metal having almost the same power to.

The "Dump" of Silver. All the world will dump its silver. On us if we adopt free coinage, says. The monometallist. How much, and where will it come from? Oh, the world has billions of it ready for us, is the vague. General reply; but when we ask for a bill of particulars we get instead a. Fine confusion of prophecy. One answers that it will come from Spanish America. But we have already. Shown that all nations from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn have but. Silver than they now have. No "dump" from there.
