Yet strange as it may seem, the Republicans did not at once enact legislation making the gold dollar the standard for the national currency.

——虽然看起来很奇怪，但共和党人并没有立即颁布立法， 使金元成为本国货币的标准。

Obviously, if the gold in a gold dollar exceeds the value of the silver in a silver dollar on the open market, men will hoard gold money and leave silver money in circulation.

显然，如果在公开市场上，金元中的黄金超过银元中的白银， 人们就会囤积金币， 而让银币流通。
