Teller Objection to the Silver Bill in Senate Debate
In Washington May 15 the Senate resumed work on the silver bill as Mr Teller argued against it. He warned the measure would raise silver prices and expand circulation only if the government bought the entire world’s silver output. He cited a global anti silver party and warned of higher debts, calling the bill a half way solution lacking real monetary reform.
