The correct answer is:
- Expansion of money in circulation to cause inflation.
Advocating for soft currency and silver coinage implies supporting the idea of increasing the money supply by introducing more currency into circulation. This action is aimed at causing inflation, which occurs when there is an increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy. Inflation can be a result of the expansion of money in circulation, making each unit of currency less valuable, leading to higher prices for goods and services. This approach contrasts with reducing the amount of silver in circulation or seeking higher interest rates, as those would have different effects on the economy.
