Currency statistics contraction of circulation in last Congress
From Washington on July 30, treasury figures show changes in circulating medium between December 1, 1883 and July 1, 1884. Silver dollars and legal tender notes declined while silver certificates and gold certificates rose, with a net apparent increase but a real contraction of about 12 million for seven months ending June 20, 1884. Gold imports and mine production produced a net $20 million loss, totaling about $32 million contracted outside the treasury. The McPherson bill, if enacted, would have added roughly $36 million to national bank circulation to offset the contraction.
