Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Its Causes, Purposes, and Probable Results The second time was the greenback craze and the third time was the free-silver craze, when, in spite of the jejuneness of the subject, the great majority were so affected by it and worked themselves up to such a pitch of self-righteousness against the rascals, who would make the debtor pay in appreciated money, as almost to silence their contention for a sound and honest currency. It took all of the official and moral power of four Presidents, Grant, Hayes, Cleveland, and McKinley, to stem this torrent of popular holiness, make men exercise a little common sense, and feel a little common honesty. And yet I hardly know a man today who is not ashamed if his grandfather was touched by either of these follies.
