Gold Bill Advances Through Senate and House Votes
The gold standard bill passed the House on December 18 by 190 to 150, a 40 vote majority, and the Senate substitute cleared 46 to 29, a 17 vote edge. Democrats largely split, with 11 joining Republicans in the House and two Democrats in the Senate voting for the measure. Republican Chandler opposed it in the Senate. The bills largely mirror each other, aiming to enshrine the gold standard in law with gold redemption of currency and requiring concurrent approval by President and both houses to alter it. A Senate provision adds bond refunding at lower long-term rates.
