To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That the volume of money had actually increased in greater ratio than population, and that the growing use of credit instruments had added to the media of exchange. 2. That the fall in prices was due chieily, and probably wholly, to improved methods of production, and had no rela- tion to the demonetization. 3. That producers were also consumers, and hence had to pay less for commodities, so that relatively they were not injured by the fall in prices. 4. That the theory of having two standards ...was a delusion. Only one thing could actually be a standard. That in fact gold was the only standard, silver being measured by it. 5. That free coinage meant depreciated money, than which no device was more potent in cheating both the producer and consumer. It would precipitate' the country upon a silver basis with gold at a fluctuating premium as in Mexico, not only contracting the volume of money, but causing untold injury to all interests. 6. That Europe would only be too glad to have the United States take up the silver burden alone, enhancing the value of its stock of silver, but would not follow the example.
