Address to Republicans Opposes Gold Standard Shift
A December 18 Washington dispatch reports Ipadee and others in the Silver Republican faction issuing an appeal to GOP members believing in bimetalism. They condemn the house passage of the gold standard and call for opposing leaders to prevent the party from adopting centralized banking policies and a single gold standard at the 1906 national convention. The letter cites St Louis platform pledges, the 1896 anti-gold shift, and warns of an inflationary, bank-dominated future if the party aligns with Wall Street interests. Signed by Charles A Towne and party committee members.
