Movement For Silver Getting Up Steam Anew
A late move in Congress raises the price for newly mined domestic silver from 64 1 2 to 71 cents an ounce. Senator Wheeler seeks free coinage at 16 to 1 with gold, while Senator Thomas foresees a shift away from gold standard to a bi metallic system. The White House action follows a rapid rise in world silver prices, attributed to U S purchases under congressional policy.
