Vote is Forcible Silver Price Debate in Senate
The Senate refused to let the treasury sell surplus silver at 71.11 cents an ounce, voting 54 to 25 to return the House plan of 90.3 cents. Senator Green forced the vote, arguing the 71.11 figure was only a floor and higher prices could be set later. Western and Southern Senators opposed, aided by Senator Taft who called 90.3 cents fair given higher costs. The move again stalls the annual treasury-post office appropriation bill with the silver rider attached.
