Responsibility on Congress and the Southern Leaders

The coming House will largely shape the Democrat party and next year’s national contest. If Southern leaders prove worthy and true to the hour they may foster national unity and progress.

Foster's Defense of Silver Law at Bankers’ Meet

At New Orleans last week the American Bankers Association convention included a reading from Secretary Foster defending the silver law passed by the last Congress. Eastern bankers and papers, buoyed by Republican gains, push repeal to curb silver use. Foster argues that the United States escaped a gold shock last spring as Europe drained $72,000,000 in gold, thanks to a growing note supply based on silver. He cites about $50,000,000 annual issuance, redeemable on demand in gold with government par maintenance.
