Sensible silver bill introduced for bullion deposits
Senator Teller introduces a plan to deposit silver bullion 900 fine or over with the U S Treasury in 1000 ounce lots for market value and $20 certificates. Holders of silver dollars may deposit and get $1 and $2 certificates toward a $10,000,000 total. Certificates payable on demand in coin will be receivable for customs and taxes. Bullion deposited would be coined as fast as possible without hampering gold coinage.
