The Silver Question in Money Theory and Policy
A Chicago Record piece argues against selective legal tender rules that favor gold over silver. It defends full bimetallic parity, critiques the private contract loophole, and calls for equal legal power and mint privileges for both metals. The author cites historical coinage, public law, and economic theory to urge silver value restoration and coordinated international price.
