Glass on the greenback value and banking fears
A Letters to the Editor arguing that the Civil War era greenback dollar held 34 cents in value, not redeemable as par, with 136 million still in circulation. The writer accuses economists like Glass and Lawrence of propagandizing, cites historical bond redemptions, and laments government money policy and bank influence, noting a 1881 circular urging opposition to greenbacks and urging readers to contact congress. The piece frames this as a long view of monetary policy and national finance.
