Debates Over Greenbacks as Legal Tender Value
Lewiston North Carolina March 12. A St Louis Conference proposal to pay soldiers the difference between greenbacks and gold prompts a defense of legal tender notes as the nation’s value standard. The piece argues greenbacks remained faithful to value, fueling railroads, manufacturing, and trade, and cites price data from 1861 1865 to show gold did not set prices. It contends soldiers and others were fairly paid by notes and criticizes claims of depreciation.
