Open Violation of Law by Government Officials
A lengthy defense by Hon. John Davis argues that free coinage of silver existed in U S law, recounting preliminary history and parliamentary maneuvering around the 1873 74 statute. Davis cites congressional records to claim Section 15 and other provisions were misapplied or altered, arguing demonetization of silver was improperly effected and urging reform through public support.
