Cleveland Not a Free Silver Convert, Post Says
The Post asserts no change in Grover Cleveland’s long opposition to free silver coinage. It debunks rumors that ex President Cleveland endorsed free coinage and condemns reports linking Dickinson to such letters. Cleveland’s annual messages consistently urged suspension of silver coinage while gold remained abundant, and the Post’s correspondent reiterates there is no foundation to these claims.
