Newlands on currency bill in lengthy House speech
Representative Newlands of Nevada spoke at length in the House opposing the currency bill. He traced the 1893- era depression, blamed the McKinley act, tariff cuts, and free silver pressure for shortages, and argued the money supply increase from a favorable trade balance restored prosperity. He contends bank credits rose with cash reserves, contradicting monometallic claims.
