Secretary of the Treasury Shaw discusses historical events in finance and banking in relation to Republican and Democratic policies. He notes that support for the single gold standard has increased within the Republican party. Shaw frames this discussion by asking what conclusions an “intelligent stranger of a philosophical turn of mind” would come to after observing “self-governed and self-governing people.” He argues that “the consensus of mature judgment of the Republican party is usually right, and that the consensus of mature judgment of the Democratic party is usually wrong.”
