Skinner Cotton Bill Promotes Silver Coinage Plan
A detailed proposal by Col Skinner advocates international free silver at sixteen to one, heavy state control of raw cotton exports, Treasury purchase and storage, and a board including the agriculture and Treasury secretaries to oversee pricing and sale to American manufacturers. The measure argues it would boost U.S. cotton prices, protect Southern growers, and shift global finance toward silver and American manufacturing dominance.
