  Benton was an unflagging advocate for "hard money", that is gold coin (specie) or bullion as money - as opposed to paper money "backed" by gold as in a "gold standard". "Soft" (i.e. paper or credit) currency, in his opinion, favored rich urban Easterners at the expense of the small farmers and tradespeople of the West.
