Washington Railroads Lands Tax Bill Aims to Recover Land Grants

Also covered are discussions on government currency policy, inflation risk, and potential redistribution of national bank notes to balance state currencies.

Senate currency bills aim to expand national bank circulation
Reports from Washington describe Senate debate on the 1870 act and a Sherman plan to redeem greenbacks and fund debt. Prominent senators warn of unequal distribution by currency, while proposals to increase bank notes face opposition and focus on reserves and free banking. Inflation advocates seek 40 to 70 million more in circulation via national banks, with debate over prohibiting interest on deposits and keeping reserves in bank vaults.
