People's Pilot, Volume 3, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 November 1893 — What Folly, [ARTICLE]

What Folly,

We coined $150,000,000 in silver before 1873 and had in circulation SIOO,000,000 more of foreign silver made full legal tender under our laws, and begged the world to send us more of their silver, and yet we hear the misleading statement made that we only had $8,000,000 of silver in circulation prior to 1873.—Coin.
