A Gold Bug Scheme Threatens National Finance
A detailed warning against a proposed gold standard substructure using state banks of issue and wildcat currency. It argues that local notes backed by trusts and mortgage bonds would flood the market, inflate gold demand, and depress exports while widening the debt burden of Southern and Western farmers. The piece cites schemes tied to “Napoleons of finance” and warns readers to resist the alleged conspirators. It ends with a cautionary tale from Pomeroy, Ohio, about the Lord Moore scams and a moral to beware offers of “something for nothing.”
