Sherman Rescinds Silver Dollar Order After Conference
Washington reports that Secretary Sherman’s rescission of the silver dollar payment order follows a Treasury conference with Schurz Evarts and Devens and a Maine election impact. The aim is to curb the Greenback surge, avoid resumption, and limit reform while banks fear losses from bond purchases tied to the old order. The Sunday Republican interview supports Sherman’s softened stance, though critics call it a retreat.
