The Silver Question by Howard M Holden
A sectional memorandum on the monetary question, tracing the 1873 demonetization of silver, the rise of gold, and the push for bimetallic or double standard policies. It compiles figures from mint reports, discusses silver’s price, production splits, and the 1878 Bland act alongside the 1890s Sherman act, arguing for continued silver coinage to prevent a monetary crisis.
