Silver and gold bases in currency debate heats Senate action
In a heated Senate discussion, senators weigh Beck’s amendment to a currency bill, arguing for silver coinage limits and the impact on gold. Supporters press delaying the amendment for study, while critics warn of contraction and a swift swing to a silver standard within sixty days. The chamber adjourns as the fight centers on maintaining currency volumes and the possible effects on gold reserves.
