Senators Clash Over Silver in Philippines Bill
Washington May 1 The senate passes the agricultural appropriation bill before tackling the Philippine government measure. Senator Stewart of Nevada defends army support and rejects demoting the flag in the Philippines. He says the silver dollar for the Philippines is dead due to gold output, while Senator Tillman questions his change of view. Senator Lodge explains coinage substitution as a dollar for the Mexican standard. The exchange includes remarks on demonetization of silver as an infamous crime. The Cuban diplomatic and consular bill’s conference report is adopted and Hoar jokes about the flag staying as Cullom confirms the republic of Cuba and the flag. The senate adjourns at six.
