Hansbrough's Open Letter on Wheat and Gold Standards
Senator Hansbrough responds to critics of his September 22 speech on the silver issue in a two column open letter to North Dakota and Twin City papers. He argues wheat demand rose with population, price trends reflect factors beyond gold, and cites Rothschild Gladstone on gold as national, not international, policy. He criticizes Minneapolis Journal and St Paul Pioneer Press for inconsistencies and references Blaine's 1898 bi metals doctrine.
