Description
Photograph
of a
portrait
of
William
Allen
(1803-1879)
who
served
as
Ohio's
governor
from
1874-1876
. As
governor
,
Allen
worked
to
reduce
the
state
government's
budget
and was
able
to
lower
taxes
in
1875
. Not
all
of his
actions
were as
popular
as his
tax
cut
.
Ohio
,
like
other
parts
of the
nation
in the
1870s
,
experienced
a
number
of
labor
disputes
.
Allen
tended
to be
more
supportive
of
managers
and
business
owners
than of
workers
,
although
he
still
believed
that
big
businesses
must
respect
state
laws
. If
necessary
, the
governor
was
willing
to
call
out
the
state
militia
to
enforce
order
in
labor
disputes
. His
most
unpopular
measure
was his
support
of the
printing
of
greenbacks
.
Greenbacks
were
money
without
backing
in
gold
or
other
precious
metals
,
Allen
believed
they would
help
alleviate
the
economic
problems
that
Ohio
faced
at this
time
. This
issue
cost
him
public
support
in
1875
.
