The Way to Do It.

When we see that the prices of commodities have fallen with silver, and that the relation of silver to commodities in silver-using countries has remained unchanged, but that the gold prices of commodities in these, as well as in other countries, have continued to fall with silver, we cannot avoid the conclusion that the separation of the metals was wholly due to a rise in the value of gold and to a fall in the value of silver. The only possible way in which the rise in the value of gold and the consequent fall in the price of commodities can be arrested is by restoring silver to its full monetary use and placing it in competition with gold as a money metal, and thereby introduce an opposite influence that will restore the activity of our industries.
