What reading level is The Omnipotence of Silver book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is it not clear, then, that when their crops fall 33 per cent, in value and 50 per cent, in debt-paying power, there was nothing for them to do but go to the wall?
There is much said about the hard times being due to the con- traction of the money of the country. On the other hand, the gold standard advocates point to the fact that money is plenty and the rates of interest unprecedently low to those who can give security for it. Both sides are right.
In 1873 most farmers were in debt and paying... interest. But there was a great deal of money in circulation among the people, and the farmer was able to pay his expenses, his interest, and to have something over to apply upon the principal of the debt.
But in that year the fall in the prices of their products began, and that fall just about averaged two per cent, per annum up to 1890. If they cleared 12 per cent, in 1873, which is above the average, is it not clear that by 1879 there was no more profit for their labor? Of course, the mortgages had not been paid, so it is certain that all that they produced above a bare living gravitated directly to the strong boxes of the interest-gatherers.
