The Gold Standard Debate in Cotton States Congress
A lengthy 19th century discourse argues why lawmakers from cotton states should back the gold standard. It contrasts protectionism and free trade, cites Britain’s influence, and links monetary policy to cotton interests, with references to Democratic figures and past platforms. The piece blends political opinion with economic theory, condemning silver policy and urging retention of a gold-based system.
