Bland proposes silver standard currency bill substitute
Washington December 19 Bland introduces a currency bill as a substitute for the Carlisle measure. It establishes a standard 4124? grains of silver as unit value, omits gold, and assigns government option for cheap or dear money. The plan creates an emergency fund, permits free coinage of silver, and redeems notes in gold and silver without discrimination. Gold bonds are prohibited and coin notes replace certificates and notes pending treasury coinage.
