Abstract

The Next Administration and The Silver Bill
February 5, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the silver coinage bill proposed in the U.S. Congress. A silver convention at Denver was called to check the current opinion against the further coinage of silver dollars. It was seen that seen that the Democratic party, in power and responsible for the public finances, would be compelled to look at the silver question from a new standpoint. Making trouble for business interests in the U.S. government under the administration of President Grover Cleveland would be attended with political risks much more serious than any that have been incurred hitherto.
