The gold standard was an infallible remedy for financial dissension. Unfortunately it shows every sign of choking British trade to death. The coal strike is a direct result of the reimposition of the gold standard. Costs of sales abroad are being raised by this. Costs of production here had to be diminished in order to compete in the world market...
