Secret Silver and Greenback League Meeting Report
A fragment from Nelson, Ferriss & Co notes a secret Monday night gathering of the Silver and Greenback League. Gen. Butler heads a fund list of $50 for distributing parliamentary literature while other papers were asked for prices. The letter from the Greenback Apostle traces a long history of monetary policy, denounces bonds payable in coin, and urges remonetization of silver and universal greenback tender. The piece frames a conspiracy of money power and calls for repeal of restrictive laws and a return to greenbacks and silver.
