Battle of the Standards argues for silver and bimetallism
Charles Heber Clark delivers a long address in Hannisport, Pa., on April 9, 1895, arguing that the decline of commodity prices stems from gold valuation. He links silver demonetization to rising gold, condemns gold monometallism, and urges restoration of bimetallism through political action amid a crowded Senate chamber audience.
