Silver coinage plan faces opposition from financiers
Washington August 25. The President’s plan for silver coinage from the American product fails to win support even within his party. Critics call it a surrender to silver advocates and a shift of profits from Treasury silver purchases to mine owners. They warn that enforcing American-only silver would be hard, given Mexican silver and foreign imports. Treasury concerns rise as Mexico’s 12 million ounces enter via frontier trade, risking market glut.
