Congress Condensed Senate Debates on Currency and Rail Bonds
The Senate debated currency measures and amendments, including excluding railroad bonds as emergency currency security. Amid a banking panic Wall Street rallied on liquidity news, Morgan and Standard Oil figures steering funds to calm the market. Senator La Follette warned that reorganization moves and railroad financing threaten public rates and national credit, urging strict standards for rail charges and cautioning Congress against binding the government to inflated capitalization.

The Aldrich bill gains likely unanimous Republican support in both houses after the Finance Committee agrees to remove railroad bonds as security for emergency notes. Western senators objected to rail bonds, citing Eastern held securities and high premiums, with La Follette opposing.
