Czar Offers to Lend United States Gold During Panic of 1893
A Washington Post report reveals Czar Alexander III offered to loan any amount of gold needed to sustain the U S treasury amid the 1893 crisis. President Cleveland declined due to lack of authority to incur government debt without Congress. The cabinet debated the loan’s feasibility and legality, with Secretary Carlisle supporting acceptance in principle but citing authority concerns. The episode, tied to the Sherman silver purchase struggles, remains a long kept secret until now.
