Congressional silver leaders lose faith in this session
Washington reports that silver leaders privately admit little hope of passing sweeping remonetization legislation this session. The Dies bill offers a partial remonetization through agricultural export payments, with a price premium, while more ambitious “16 to 1” plans are shelved. The White House action has cooled the broad silver push, though Dies may still pass the Senate committee. A final note adds that the lawnmower was invented by A. M. Hills in 1868.
