Morgan Attacks the Gold Standard Measure in Senate Debates
Washington February 16. In a lengthy speech Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama argues against the gold standard bill now before the Senate. He contends the measure would empower national banks, retire greenbacks, and shift monetary control to gold and bank notes, threatening perpetual national debt and undermining silver money as the people’s true currency. He also links expansion to finance policy for Spanish possessions and Hawaii, urging a silver-based system aligned with democratic principles.

Coal Tow Sent Down Mississippi From Greenville
A second tow of Walker county coal begins its voyage from Greenville Mississippi down the Mississippi to New Orleans to fulfill a 130000 ton order for the Texas and Pacific railroad.
