Book Details
First Sentence
"Mr. PRESIDENT: The act of February 12, 1873, now incorporated in title XXXVII of the Revised Statutes, an act which, under the guise of regulating the Mints of the United States, practically abolished one of the precious metals, was a grave wrong; a wrong committed no doubt unwittingly, yet no less certainly in the interest of a few plutocrats in England and in Germany, and as certainly in the interest of the entire pagan and barbarian world; a wrong upon the people of the United States and of the whole civilized globe; a wrong upon industry, upon the natural tendency of wealth toward equalization, upon the liberties of peoples which are born out of the effects of such equalization of wealth, upon every aspiration of man which depends for its realization upon the development of those liberties."
