Open Violation of Law on Coinage and Silver Debates
Jon Davis argues the 1873 coinage act did not demonetize silver and cites Senate and House testimony to claim the bill was altered afterwards. He references Congressional Record entries from 1874 to 1893 and discusses free coinage, bi metallism, and the 16 to 1 gold silver ratio as key issues affecting US monetary policy.
