Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speeches on Remonetization of Silver and Resumption
Ido not mean that, in the thousands of years during which men have been at work in the mines, these metals have not grown in quantity, as compared with other values, and the uses to which they have been destined, and that, consequently, prices have not grown; but that growth has been so imperceptible as to be detected only by the comparison of different centuries.
