Wall Street Faces Reform Push and Silver Backers Rise

Bond yields drifted higher as demand for gold waned, and debate grows over government guarantees for deposits, free silver, and greenbacks. Daniel F. Kellogg notes rising calls for curbs on margin trading and a government currency issue as Bryan and Roosevelt shape political pressure for financial reform.
