Arrogance and Brutality in a Wall Street Letter to a Silver Advocate
A harsh critique of a New York banker’s letter to Hon. S. C. Bell denouncing the silver cause and urging laborers to accept low wages. The letter, dated August 1, 1890, argues for control of money laws by national banks and large industrials, naming J. Pierpont Morgan and August Belmont and praising Hanna as a potential reforming force. It condemns labor costs, dietary habits of workers, and calls for tariff and monetary policy handled by corporate-backed committees.
