"Free Coinage of Gold and Silver" - A report of Mr. Bland of the Committee on Coinage, Weights, and Measures to the House of Representatives, February 10, 1892 (To accompany H. R. 4426) was the response of the Committee to its consideration of House bill H.R. 4426, entitled, "A bill for the free coinage of gold and silver, for the issue of coin notes, and for other purposes." Mr. Bland summarizes the consensus of the Committee, with the words "...The bill provides for the free and unlimited coinage of silver on same terms as gold is now coined....Coin notes may be issued on the gold and silver deposited if demanded, instead of waiting for the coin....They are made a legal tender and of like monetary functions as the standard coins. They are redeemable at the Treasury of the United States in coin on demand…" In addition to Mr. Bland's summary, the complete minority report of the Committee is included in the document. This report of the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures can be further referenced as Report No. 249 to the House of Representatives, 52nd Congress, 1st Session.
This First Edition copy of the Committee report is contained in a 28 page staple-bound document, without covers, that measures approximately 5 ¾ x 8 ¾ inches. The pages are deeply tanned, but the text is clear and easily read. The first page is detached and there are a few pencil markings in the booklet used to highlight some paragraphs. The overall condition of the booklet is good.
The illustrations accompanying this description show the first page of the document and four typical 2-page spreads of text.
