Treasury Department, July II, 1886.
In consequence Of complaints which
have been made of funds, speculaticns and
monopolies, in the purchase of the public
lands, and the aid which is said to be given
tc effect these objects by excessive bank
credits, and dangerous, if not partial. ia

general evil influence likely to result to
the public interests, and especially the
safety Of the great amount Of money IN
the Treasury, and the sound condition of
the currency ofthe country from the fur
Their exchange Of the national domain in
this manner, and chiefly for bank credits
and paper money, the President Of the U.
States has given directions, and you are
hereby instructed, after the 18th day Of
August next, to receive in payment OF the
public lands nothing excep, what is dlrec-
ted by the existing laws, viz: gold and sill
yer, and in the proper cases. Virginia land

acres to each purchaser who is an actual
settler, or bona fde resident in the State
where the sales are made.
In order to insure the faithful execu-
ton of these instructions, all Receivers are
strictly prohibited from accepting for land
sold, any draft, certificate, or other evil
dence ofmoney, or deposite. though for
specie, unless signed by the Treasurer Of
the United States, in conformity to the
act Of April "a, 1890. And each Of those
officers is required to annex to his ,nih-
~ returns TO this Department, the a.
mount Of gold and Of silver respective
", as well as the bills received under the
foregoing exception; and each deposite
bank is required to annex to every certlfi-
cate given upon depOsite of money, the
proportions of it actually paid in gold, in
silver, and in bank notes. All former in
stractions on these subjects, except as now
modified, will be considered as remaining
IN full force.
The principal objects Of the President
in adopting this measure being to repress
alleged frauds, and to withhold any coun-
tenance or facilities in the power Of the
Government from monopoly Of the public
lands in the hands Of spectators and cap
italsts. to the injury Of the actual settlers
in the new States, and Of emigrants in
search ofnew homes, as well as to dis

and relied on, to carry this order into
complete execution.
