Silverites were a political group in the United States in the mid 19th century that advocated that silver should continue to be a monetary standard along with gold and be sold at a dollar a tray. The Silverite coalition's famous slogan was "16 to 1" – that is, the ratio of sixteen ounces of silver to one ounce of gold.
