"Mrs. Emery's rhetoric left no doubt of the sustained purposefulness of the scheme - described as 'villainous robbery,' and as having been 'secured through the most soulless strategy." She was most explicit about the so-called "crime of 1873,' the demonetization of silver, giving a fairly full statement of the standard greenback-silverite myth concerning that event. As they had it, an agent of the Bank of England, Ernest Seyd by name, had come to the United States in 1872 with $500,000 with which he had brought enough support in Congress to secure the passage of the demonetization measure.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the economic and social consequences of the American Civil War, arguing that the conflict provided an opportunity for powerful financial interests to exploit the nation's wartime necessities. The author contends that policies such as the introduction of the "exception clause" on greenbacks and the creation of the National Banking System were designed to benefit the wealthy at the expense of the working class and soldiers. Through historical analysis and compelling anecdotes, the author exposes the mechanisms by which these financial conspiracies, as they are termed, enriched a select few while burdening the majority with debt and hardship. The book sheds light on the plight of the common man during and after the war, highlighting the struggles of farmers, laborers, and even veterans who were denied their rightful compensation. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful indictment of economic inequality and the manipulation of financial systems for personal gain. It raises crucial questions about the true cost of war and the enduring legacy of policies that prioritize profit over the well-being of the people.
