Excerpt from Open Mints and Free Banking
This little book, begun in the summer of 1896, was originally planned in the form of two magazine articles, but I soon found that to fully set forth my reasons for the changes I suggest in our monetary laws would involve a more extended discussion of principles than could be compressed into the space at command. This change of plan, occurring when the excitement of a pending Presidential election made dispassionate and unbiased writing as difficult as it was important, led to the laying aside of the work for a time; which fact explains why the statistics given in the book are not altogether up to date. But as the figures are used only to illustrate my argument, and as the deductions drawn from them would not be altered by later statements, I have allowed them to stand.
