Silver Coinage Debate Moves Congress Toward Reform
Debated measures aim to coin silver into standard dollars and adjust bank note redemptions. Advocates argue for a compromise to improve circulation by adding Treasury notes and restoring silver parity, while opponents warn against a single silver standard and Mexicanization risks. The House adjourned at 5:35 pm with further debate planned tomorrow.

Sherman Defends Silver Question in 1873 Demonets Bill

He cites Treasury reports, warns of gold demonetization, and urges preserving gold and silver as global value standards. Senate adjourns without action as the bill lingers.
