Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HORTON, SAMUEL DANA (18441895) , American writer on bimetallism, was born in
Pomeroy
 ,
Ohio
 , on the 16th of January 1844. He graduated at Harvard in 1864, and at the Harvard Law School in 1868, studied Roman law in Berlin in 186q, and in 1871 was admitted to the
Ohio
  bar. He practised law in Cincinnati, and then in
Pomeroy
  until 1885, when he gave up law for the
advancement
  of bimetallism. His attention had been turned to monetary questions by the " greenback campaign " of 1875 in Ohio, in which, as in former
campaigns
 , he had spoken, particularly effectively in German, for the Republican party. He was secretary of the American delegation to the Monetary Conference which met in Paris in 1878, and edited the report of the delegation. To the conference of 1881 he was a delegate, and thereafter he spent much of his time in Europe, whither he was sent by President Harrison in 1889 as
special
 
commissioner
  to promote the
international
  restoration of silver. He died in Washington, D.C., on the 23rd of
February
  1895. Horton's
principal
  works were The Silver Pound (1887) and Silver in Europe (1890), a volume of essays.
