Horr and Harvey Debate on 1873 Silver Coinage in Chicago
The Chicago crowd hears Horr and Harvey press their positions on the 1873 act, silver and gold as monetary standards, and the question of repealing the law. The exchange covers the Paris 1867 conference, the silver dollar 384 grains, the trade dollar, and claims of secrecy in passage. Attacks allege corruption and concealment, with references to Congressional records and contemporary newspapers.
