Senators Debate Bond Issuance to Restore Gold Reserve
At a Senate Finance Committee session Sherman urged bonds to replenish the Treasury gold reserve after a $19,000,000 drain for current expenses. He proposed $9.2 billion in bonds, redeemable after five years, with $50 denominations, while Democrats and some Republicans urged using existing authority under the 1875 act. Sherman warned he may offer an amendment if needed, and Senators Voorhees and Gray allegedly met with the President before returning to the chamber. The gold reserve stood at about $42.6 million and was seen as improving.
