to be buyer through pet houses Of the later issues
Of 1905 at Ice, and Of compound notes at 4 cent
premium 1t may be for the interest Of the Government
to buy up its currency debt at these light premiums, but
doubted by fnanciers of much experience and more
consistency than the Secretary of the Treasury. BY his
plan Of taking up the currency debt premium and BY
hi, policy of constantly watering the money market he
gives the leader of the crowd of spectators in stocks and
commodities fills the of the cities of the Union
But for his failure TO cancel legal tenders authorized
to do by Congress at his solicitation, gold would
not now be selling at l4 stocks and commodities at
their enormous prices Instead Of reducing the volume OF
the currency and getting out Of existence the legal
tenders which demoralze all business, his energies are
devoted peisteny to keeping the currency at i's maxi
num- by paying high premium for currency debt WINCH
under prudent Of his revenues could be had
at par.
