DANIEL MANNING
Card signed and dated by the Secretary of the Treasury under President Grover
Cleveland, in 1885
Signature: "Daniel Manning/July 3 - 1885.". Pencil notations in upper
left corner in unknown hand. 3½x1¾ card. Manning signed this card less than four
months after taking his post as Secretary of the Treasury under President Grover
Cleveland. Manning (1831-1887, born in Albany, New York) was an editor
and owner of the Albany Argus and chairman of the New York Democratic
Committee before being appointed Secretary of the Treasury (1885-1887) under
President Grover Cleveland. Before retiring due to ill health, he advocated
basing the dollar on both gold and silver. This was a rather important issue to
a young United States. Eastern bankers wanted it backed by gold, while
Westerners wanted it backed by silver (the West had many large silver mines,
after all). He also worked on a tariff that became the McKinley Tariff of 1890,
which lowered customs duties. Lightly toned. Adhesive residue on verso (no
show-through). Otherwise in fine condition.
