Senator West on the silver situation
Senator West argues that silver value fell due to legislation in Germany and the United States rather than overproduction. He notes miners' hardships and the belief that silver should be money metal, recalls Peter Cooper’s warning about gold’s rise, and questions the gold standard and Sherman act’s role in current financial lows. The piece links farming prosperity, Western wool markets, and potential silver purchases by the Treasury.
