Seigniorage Bill Spark in Washington Drive
Representative Bland of Missouri states the coinage committee has not pledged future action to Secretary Carlisle regarding the seigniorage bill. He has not seen Carlisle recently, but hopes the president will not veto the bill. Bland continues to advocate free silver and aims to pass such a bill this session if possible. Carlisle spent time with the president weighing the issue, and the president seeks an impartial study without outside influence before deciding.
