Free Coinage Sparks Washington Battle Over Silver Scheme
The Post reports that the administration contemplates free coinage of American silver to settle the silver question. President, Foster, and Nebeker favor a bill if safeguards keep silver at parity with gold. Senate canvassing shows possible Republican unity with some Democratic support to block unrestricted free coinage. The piece notes expected Democratic votes against such a bill and outlines potential party shifts and political stakes. The Washington hotels section closes with observations on quiet summer and hotel reopenings, naming Riggs House Shoreham and other prominent houses and figures.
