Opening Address of Gen. A. J. Warner, President of the American Bimetallic League, delivered before the Silver Convention, at Chicago, Aug. 1, 1893 ...

Notes

"The pen most skillful to pervert the truth, to mislead, and to lie, is most in demand of this service [the backers of the gold standard, likewise the proponents of silver’s demonetization in 1873]. Such men, if they had lived in the days of the revolution, for pay, would have slandered Washington’s army, and extolled the political policy of Great Britain, as now they slander everything American and extol everything that is British or Semitic in finance" (p. 16).
