About This Item
Lowell, Mass: Levi H. Whitney & Co, 1879. First edition. Softcover. Good. Small 8vo. pamphlet. Original brown paper printed wrappers. Stitched, as issued. 51pp. Attorney and Irish World columnist, Stephen Dillaye was a strong supporter of the Greenback movement in the 1870's and 1880's. He opposed efforts to reduce the number of "Greenbacks" issued during the Civil War and to calls for a return of the gold standard. On the other side, former Treasury Secretary, Hugh McColloch, was a leading advocate for returning to the gold standard and for a strong national banking system. He was an articulate and influential "hard money" man. When McColloch gave a series of lectures at Harvard outlining his views of monetary policy and banking, Dillaye penned this response. This is a good summary of the "soft money" position, drafted near the height of the movement's popularity. Some small chips in wrapper along spine, at corners and edges. Internal foxing. Contemporary owner's pencil signature on front wrapper. Overall about a good + copy.
