Excerpt from What Shall Our Paper Currency Be? And What Shall Be the Solution of the Silver Problem?: How an Unlimited Quantity of Silver May Be Used as Money, The Currency Systems of Leading European Countries

The following pages do not contain exaustive arguments upon the momentous questions of the day, but the writer has reason to believe that they may be of assistance in arriving at a correct conclusion regarding an interest that so vitally affects the welfare of our people. He has not only studied this somewhat intricate subject at home, but in repeated visits to Europe and in a journey to some of the South American republics, has tried to learn something from observation of the financial affairs of countries visited.

That the people are looking to congress for rational and speedy legislation upon this question goes without saying. No party can long remain in power without making strenuous effort to afford the expected relief.
