Harter credits broad alliance in defeating free coinage bill
Representative Harter of Ohio lauds a wide coalition that blocked the silver free coinage bill in the House. He cites minority Democrats, sound money Republicans led by Reed, Southern Democrats, the German and metropolitan press, the Grand Army, and business leaders as key forces in delivering the country from repudiation and shielding the nation from the calamities of free coinage. The House foresees letting the issue drop and anticipates the bill is dead for now.
