Senate Passes Voorhees Bill Repealing Silver Purchase Clause
The Senate approved the Voorhees bill by 43 to 32 to repeal the Sherman act silver purchase clause after two months of debate. The measure shifts policy toward continued use of gold and silver as standard money and lays groundwork for future coinage policy. The House had passed a contrasting Wilson repeal bill earlier, but the Voorhees substitute now leads toward enactment.
