This work serves as a comprehensive exploration of the currency debate in the United States during the late 19th century. The book presents a balanced symposium of arguments from leading advocates of monometallism, bimetallism, and the free coinage of silver, including contributions from notable figures such as John Sherman, William Jennings Bryan, and others. Through essays, speeches, and debates, the work delves into critical issues like the gold standard, the economic implications of silver coinage, and the broader impacts of monetary policy on trade, agriculture, and industry. Edited with a focus on impartiality, the volume serves as a thorough examination of the contentious financial policies of the era, aiming to educate readers and allow them to form their own informed opinions.
