Ii these estimates beexended to embrace the remain
ing six months OF be calendar year, they must be dou
bled, and that sum added to the updrawn appropria-
tions would make aggregate of 81 ,427 448,7 ,778,
which Congress is formally called upon to provide. 1t
obvious however, bat the amounts to the credit of
undrawn appropriation cannot be called for, uch
there remain but three months OF the present caien
dar year to be provided tor, and the expenditures
limited to fifty millions per month. SO too as to the
estimates. Any which will promptly reduce
the currency will upon prices and thereby uafeti
al!g reduce the estimates.
But the larger figures exhibit to US in distinct a9d
tangible form the problem Whca we are Rowroquifed 10
soye The currency has BY this time attained dmen-
sions of five times its proper size. The estimates ere
based upon prices fixed by this condition of III carren
cy If these estimates to be supplied ~ issues
of currency prices must again increase and large add
tons must be made to the figures which represent boh
currency and estimates 1t obvious therefore, that
some ctner mode of raising supplies must be devised;
and the necessity IS lily obvious of reducisg tie
currency. We thus dis lncy PIE ented with thes
conditions necessary elements of proolgm to
be solved namely seduction of the existing cnFrncy,
and a supply from some other eoarc. than Treasury
notes.
