Pollars in Court Over Bland-Allison Act
A chancery suit filed in Pontiac seeks to test the constitutionality of the Bland-Allison silver act of 1878. Detroit financier Stephen Baldwin offered 364 silver dollars to cover a mortgage held by Fred A. Baker, who refused unless the value equaled 64 dollars per coin. The case targets whether the act favored free coinage and whether government purchase of silver coins is mandated.
