Dollar value debate in press on gold standard
The Scranton Times criticizes The Tribune over the Mexican dollar lesson and the gold backing of the American silver dollar. It argues the American dollar earns value from gold backing, while Mexican currency relies on its own status as legal tender, with the piece noting the impact if gold backing were removed.

The piece cites McKinley and contrasts it with Populist cheap-dollar schemes.
