<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheFinn, post: 3230267, member: 90102&quot;]Yes indeed.&nbsp; William Jennings Bryan (the Cowardly Lion) was all about Free Silver to increase inflation, and help out the farmers to pay off their debts.&nbsp; McKinley and the Republicans were for a Gold Standard, and to maintain silver as a token coinage.&nbsp; The Panic of &#039;93 occurred because there was a cash shortage - lower output of silver dollars because the Bland-Allison Act and Sherman Silver Purchasing Acs were repealed in 1893 by President Cleveland.&nbsp; You see lower issues of Morgans from 1892-1895. In 1896 Silver Dollar production picked back up due to the economy improving after 2+ years of recession.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
