Sherman Opposes Free Coinage of Silver Speech in Senate
Senator Sherman argued against free coinage warning that silver’s 16 to 1 ratio would wreck gold value and destabilize debt. He warned the policy would monetize silver globally, disturb markets, and threaten government credit with a rise in gold price and a fall in notes. Senate adjourned as debate paused and House quorum moves followed.
