Excerpt from The Use of Silver as a Money Metal by the United States
The price of a bushel of wheat has fallen from $130 in 1873 to 65 cents in 1893. The price of a pound of cotton has been reduced from 19 cents in 1873 to 7 cents in 1893. In both of these staples there have been reactions which have carried them up for short periods, but taking the twenty years together the tendency has been constantly and steadily downward.
