Senate Debate over Naval Bill and Silver Policy Continues
In Washington June 50 the Senate debated naval appropriations with two main disputes. A compromise on the district budget was reached for most items, leaving a funding question for the Grand Encampment. Senator Butler urged repeal of the tax on state banks, tying it to silver policy. The session featured sharp exchange on voting timing related to conventions, and a new amendment sought to coin silver bullion under existing law. House actions included highway and district appropriations discussions and estimates of total federal outlays.
