Senator Gear’s Silver Stand Revisited in 1800 Letter
A long-expired letter from 1800 shows Senator Gear advocating silver, likening it to potatoes and arguing the government should coin silver for anyone holding bullion. The piece argues his views shifted by 1896 to fit gold-aligned Republicans and mocks politicians who adjust stances for office. The letter, to Judge Smyth of Burlington, is dated March 19, 1800.
