OS TUESDAY, bill was introduced into the House of
Representatives, Put fve dollar bills on the loot
n wiki the new ancy, that is, to relieve them from
the Of 1913 TO which they liable on the lst day
Of July. We Congress will take some action at
once on this matter. We hardly how it is dsBs,
- it IS doe. The tax thus TO be .remitted vs0ua
amount to aocut % millions Of dollars. This tax would
2perlte il the way Of redueton Of The currncy sDd
OF Course OF te - opa indebtedness, but not OF bring
ug auy present means into the Contsd=rate treasury
Perhaps it might be prudent orpersons holding FIVE
dolar bills not part with them until awaiting the
action of Congress at least seeing what action it is
likely to take in regard to this matter Congress, we
suppose, will soon act one way or The other.
