Morgan on Silver How He Would Repeal the Sherman Law
Washington October 23 Special. Senator John T Morgan of Alabama is praised for leading the fight against unconditional repeal of the Sherman law and defending free coinage. He recounts his 1873 action to force a signing or an extra session, arguing the proposed bill only amends the Sherman acts and jeopardizes silver and the people’s rights. He urges opposition to the bill as a “cowardly makeshift” and defends democratic fidelity to free coinage against banking power.
