“This excursion of a business man into monetary reform is based upon a desire to adjust bimetallism and the use of silver to the gold standard. Instead of ‘asset currency’ he suggests more silver. Thinking our currency insufficient, he advises that the government, ‘under a safe and conservative system of bimetallism,’ should greatly increase our circulating medium.... Next, the author proposes an indefinite increase of government bonds, to be called upon request of any national bank which will pay in gold or silver to an amount equal to the par value of the bonds.”—J. Pol. Econ.
“The whole scheme is whimsical, and not worthy of serious attention.”
