Outstanding blog. My surfing stopped here for over an hour.
Thanks Don! I hope you continue to keep following my blog!
this is a wonderful find! but i think it is in fact a campaign pin *against* bryan. bryan was a supporter of the 16:1 ratio. some info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Silver#Climax
