<p>[QUOTE=&quot;faceglider, post: 1579766, member: 32190&quot;]THANKS.&nbsp; That does help.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t know of the Comstock lode.&nbsp; Interesting how there was a decline, it seems, in silver output there in the 1870s.&nbsp; So, this is really complex.&nbsp; I have so many questions. I don&#039;t know where to start.&nbsp; There MUST have been quite a bit of silver, even without mine output (i.e., Spanish reales, etc...).&nbsp; So was this largely a political issue, to keep the bankers in control by pressuring Congress to pass Gold legislation?&nbsp; How did this impact the shift in political orientation within the Republican and Democratic parties? I see a shift in the late 19th c. that points to the Republican party being geared towards the wealthy.&nbsp; I know that it is generalization.&nbsp; Northern and Southern Democrats weren&#039;t exactly populist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
