Jones outlines what he believes to be one of the most significant issues facing Congress and the country, reflecting on the economic struggles of various classes, from farmers to merchants. He criticizes the prevailing decline in prices of commodities, attributing this to a shrinkage in the volume of money relative to the growing population and economy.
