[0299] Bimetallism and Currency Reform collection, 1872-1909, MSBCR_75

Location: Daley Library Special Collections and University Archives, University of Illinois at Chicago, 801 S. Morgan St., Room 3-330, Chicago, IL 60607

Description: Bimetallism is a monetary standard or system based upon the use of two metals, traditionally gold and silver. With the exception of Britain, which adopted the gold standard in 1798, most countries practiced bimetallism during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. A bimetallic system defined a nation's monetary unit by law in terms of fixed quantities of gold and silver, automatically establishing a rate of exchange between the two metals. Bimetallism ended in the United States in 1873 when the Grant administration demonetized silver. However, the depression following the Panic of 1873 caused some people, particularly coalitions of farmers and silver miners to call for the return of silver as a form of currency. This collection contains correspondence, publications, speeches, clippings, photographs, and pamphlets about currency reform, bimetallism, and the American Bimetallic Union.
