Abstract:

Papers of Robert Schilling, a Wisconsin Greenback and Populist leader, newspaperman, and one-time president of the Coopers' International Union of the Knights of Labor. The papers reflect Schilling's general political concerns, interest in spiritualism, support of bimetallism, and opposition to prohibition and to American support of England in World War I. Included is a diary, 1863-1865, correspondence, articles and speeches, an autograph book from a Greenback meeting held in 1881, and two volumes containing names of workers for the Populist Party in Wisconsin, 1892, and other states, 1896. Prominent political correspondents include Victor L. Berger, J.H. Davis, Burton French, John W. Hayes, J.A.H. Hopkins, Henry Smith, and Edward Voigt.
