HORTON, Samuel Dana, publicist, born in Pomeroy, Ohio, 16 January, 1844. He is the son of Valentine B. Horton (vol. iii., p. 266). He was graduated at Harvard in 1864 and at the law-school in 1868, studied in Berlin university in 1869-'70, and was admitted to the bar of Ohio in 1871. He published in 1876 a treatise on "Silver and Gold and their Relation to the Problem of Resumption," the first of a series of works advocating a settlement of the silver question by joint action of nations. This policy was adopted by congress, and he has been identified with its advancement in Europe as delegate to the international monetary conferences of 1878 and 1881, and as an author. The most important of his later works is " The Silver Pound and England's Monetary Policy since the Restoration " (London, 1877).
