Seigniorage bill sparks senate debate in Washington
In Washington on March 8 a lively Senate debate followed Mr. Harris's motion for a second reading of the Seigniorage bill. Sherman opposed, urging referral to finance committees, claiming the bill would divert a trust fund from its legitimate purpose, a view he equated to a penitentiary offense in Ohio. The motion failed and the bill moved to third reading, then passed, with a later postponement at Senator Sherman's request. Also reported: Morgan introduced a presidential occupancy inquiry about Binefields, Nicaragua. House approved $45,000 to save the Kearsarge and allowed General Howard to accept the Legion of Honor from France.
