Home market for silver and the silver mine owners
The mint director reports that 58,330,000 ounces of silver were produced in the past year while 54,393,912 ounces were bought by the Treasury under Republican policy. This created a large home market for mine owners, yet prices fell and non-mine owners bore the cost. The total burden to the public was 53,796,833, with currency flooding effects. Some Republicans seek to undo this policy and close the home market.
