Correspondence from Charles B. Masten argues for immediate silver remonetization and free coinage at 16 to 1, condemning McKinley Quay alliance and tariff tinkering as distractions while praise fades for gold standard policies. He warns of economic decline from demonetization, calls for renewed focus on monetary reform, and criticizes English‑controlled press and political complacency.
