Silver Men Score In Senate Victory Over Seigniorage Bill
Washington reports the silver men secured a banking victory in the senate this morning as the seigniorage bill was laid on the vice president's table. Mr. Stewart moved to lay it on the table with a free coinage amendment and the single standard senators pressed to send it to the finance committee. Stewart objected, keeping the bill on the table so it can be called up at any time and debated if full strength is present. The silver faction now holds the initiative and could force a vote within days.
