Political Aspects of the Gold Problem
Charles R. Whittlesey
The Journal of Economic History, 1949, vol. 9, issue S1, 50-60
Abstract:
The political history of gold in the United States is inseparable from X that of silver. In large measure it is simply the obverse of the history of silver. Looked at positively, the case for silver was an attack on gold monometallism; looked at negatively, the case against silver was a defense of the single gold standard. Another and very practical reason for relating the history of gold to that of silver is that the story of what has happened to silver affords an enlightening parallel to what is happening, and conceivably may happen, to gold.
