The government plans quick coinage of nearly ten million dollars in gold bullion stock, mostly in New York Philadelphia and San Francisco, to make it available for all purposes.

Final Gasp in Silver Debate Between Horr and Harvey
Roswell G Horr and W H Harvey closed their exchanges in a public debate about returning to silver coinage at 16 to 1. Horr argued the two metals were historically used, while Harvey claimed the 1873 law was flawed and the silver dollar never served as a value measure. The exchange touched on economic injustice and the morality of monopoly in a modern commercial age.
