FOR Honest Money Rally Draws Wide South Representation
The June 12 gathering in Memrats drew delegates from across the South for a massive Honest Money convention advocating unrestricted coinage of silver at a 16 to 1 ratio.

The event drew about 1,500 attendees, with delegates arriving by train and remaining into the afternoon session, aiming to unite Democrats, Populists, and Republicans in a common silver platform.
