The Cause of Free Silver Demonetization Debate
In a lengthy letter from George Barnes, printed in the National Watchman, the demonetization of silver is challenged as unconstitutional. Barnes argues Congress lacked power to demonetize silver, asserts gold and silver were the metals of money per the Constitution, and questions how obligations would be settled if silver could not be coined. He cites Hamilton, Jefferson, Jackson, Webster, and McKinley and calls for statesmen to justify the policy with reasoned constitutional analysis.
