A letter to the New York Sun questions the president's plan to retire greenbacks. It asks what legal tender will back bank reserves and national notes, where gold would come from to settle trade, and how banks would endure a gold shortage without suspending specie payments, arguing for a silver and gold standard alternative. The piece critiques the notion of full gold backing and warns of economic catastrophe if gold payments dominate.
