Minority on Coinage Committee Opposes Bland Free Coinage Bill
A Washington report by minority members of the House Committee on Coinage, Weight, and Measures denounces the Bland Free Coinage bill. They urge passage of a measure authorizing the President to invite an international monetary conference and warn the bill would debase the dollar, depauperate savings, and depreciate government revenues. They cite a silver dollar price of 1.20 per ounce and argue it would force payment in silver, threaten the gold standard, and undermine pensions and insurance payouts.

Bland Free Coinage Bill Pushed by House Committee
The House Committee on Coinage Weights and Measures favors the Bland Free Coinage Oil by an eight to five vote. Bland explains the measure would convert silver money notes and treasury notes into coin notes redeemable in coin, creating equal coinage for gold and silver. Depositors could choose coin value for bullion, while bullion becomes government property as coinage proceeds. The bill aims to align with European ratios and retain silver and gold coinage, arguing it unifies coin note types and simplifies redemption.
