Government Help For Farmers Sparks Free Silver Debate
Advocates of free silver coinage cite a 19th century push. Senator Morrill reports adversely on the Stanford bill to provide the government with means to supply a sound circulation medium. The measure would offer landowners 20 year liens for legal tender currency at 2 percent interest, risking improvidence and debt. The committee warns such land based currency has caused historic financial crises elsewhere.
