Silver legislation and its results in the United States
The article discusses the 1878 free coinage act and the 1879 Allison amendment turning it into a purchase act, the government buying 291,292,019 ounces of silver for 306,100,262 dollars, and net gains of 378,166,786 dollars. It notes price fluctuations, the 1890 Sherman act, and the failure to raise silver prices, with gold leaving the country and a decline in currency in circulation from 1892 to 1898.
