Remonetization of Silver and Resumption is a historic collection of Judge Alphonso Taft’s speeches on American money and national finance.

It explains how silver, gold, and paper currency could work together to support trade, debt, and public credit during reconstruction-era debates. The text presents Taft’s views on resumption, sound currency, and the larger goals of economic stability.

In these pages, readers will encounter clear arguments about currency policy, the role of government in securing specie payments, and the balance between banking, industry, and agriculture. The discussion is rooted in 19th-century events, yet it aims to outline practical steps for monetary reform and reliable financial policy.

Plain explanations of silver remonetization and the push toward stable currency
Arguments for reducing public debt and restoring confidence in national credit
Ideas for how government action could facilitate banknotes, coinage, and circulation
Strategic proposals for implementing policy changes to support commerce and employment

Ideal for readers of monetary history, political economy, and 19th-century American public policy who want insight into the ideas that shaped early financial reform.
