Utah Pushes Silver Remonetization Plan At Commercial Club
The Commercial club in Salt Lake City approved an address urging Utah's congressional delegation to back a silver remonetization package. It calls for new greenbacks to cover four months of government expenses, bank lending to buyers of U S bonds, large scale silver purchases, and an international conference to reestablish a silver to gold ratio. The plan cites a $350 million western mine loss from 1873 to 1896 due to demonetization.
