Demonetization debate and silver policy critique
An 1898 letter from Hixte Hamilton Belgidora argues that silver demonetization harmed farmers and workers. It links money value to gold and asserts Congress controls money at a fixed rate, condemning McKinley Bryan and corporate influence while urging unity against landlordism. It cites census data to illustrate widespread home ownership and debt burdens among families.
