Silver and tariff clash roils senate over silver issue
In Washington February 24 a heated senate debate centered on silver and tariff policy. Senator Allen urged cooperation with Populists to push free coinage if gold and silver are placed on equal terms, while Carter of Montana denounced party critics as chatterers and pressed for adherence to the Minneapolis platform. The exchange touched on McKinley protectionism, the draft of a free silver measure, and the fate of Republican unity as speakers defended or challenged party positions.
