Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Fallacies Regarding Bimetallism This little treatise deals with a subject which has employed many pens, but deals with it in a new way. Adopting the method Bastiat followed in his Free Trade Sophismes Economiques, I have selected the leading current phrases, made use of by those who are opposed to the restoration of the joint standard of currency. These phrases embody the arguments monometallists rely upon, in their endeavour to maintain the existing monetary anarchy, and each of these arguments is examined in turn upon its merits. In putting to the test these several monometallist fallacies, I have striven to be concise, to use language clear and simple to those who have not made a study of economic writings, and to base the principle of a common and a stable currency upon reason, rather than upon the passing conditions of trade and commerce.
