The Bimetallic Controversy

The Bimetallic Controversy: A Collection Of Pamphlets, Papers, Speeches And Letters (1886) is a book written by Henry H. Gibbs. It is a compilation of various texts related to the debate surrounding bimetallism in the late 19th century. Bimetallism is the monetary system where two metals, typically gold and silver, are used as legal tender at a fixed ratio. The book includes speeches, letters, and papers from prominent figures such as William Jennings Bryan, John Sherman, and Grover Cleveland. The texts discuss the pros and cons of bimetallism, the effects it would have on the economy, and the political implications of adopting or rejecting the system. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the bimetallic controversy and is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of monetary policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
