Opinion of Governor Russell on Cleveland's anti silver letter
Governor Russell expresses strong support for ex President Cleveland's letter opposing free coinage of silver. He argues the Democratic stance should oppose silver, link tariffs to farmer burdens, and bolster party unity in the North and East. The letter, dated February 14, 1891, underscores tariff relief as a priority and credits Cleveland for voicing the party line. The piece ends with an ad for Dr Bull's Cough Syrup remarking on its use by Dom Pedro.
