Silver Coinage Fight Shapes February Policy Push
Secretary McCulloch met with leading mono metalists in Washington to craft a plan for stopping silver dollar coinage before March 4. The Denver Silver Convention elected ex Gov Eaton as compromise chair after a split over Grant or Tabor, and called for free coinage of bullion while withdrawing small notes. Treasury talks with New York bankers disputed silver certificate depreciation as the National Board of Trade urged repeal of compulsory coinage laws. Comptroller Cannon blamed inflated bank note retirement estimates on the lack of a bond call and signaled broad support for extending charters.
