President's 1895 plan seeks gold bonds to back notes
The president urges urgent congressional action to replace silver and treasury notes with gold bonds. He calls for new bonds payable in gold, strong gold reserves, and national banks to hold bonds as circulation security, with gold as basis and silver ignored. He warns of depleted gold reserves and escalating calls for gold to restore credit. The message favors immediate remedial legislation and outlines a bill to authorize gold backed bonds and currency reform.
