The policy of the Treasury in selling its surplus gold
is open to criticism because IT is not in accordance
with tho act Of Congress authorizing sales of gold and
therefore tho Secretary OF the Treasury has authority
20 make such salcs The act provides that
the surplus gold may DO sold after the provisions
for the creation Of a sinking fund have been complied
with and as these have not been complied WITH but
utterly disregarded he Is clearly unauthorized to sell
any gold received on account Of customs duties. The
