no demand for additional currency, and no
use for large proportion Of what we now
had but the danger was in the future, and
ii was step in the wrong direction, and
he was convinced that there ought TO be
no further additions to our present volume
Of irredeemable paper currency. He sale
that the legal tender acts them selves should
now he repealed; they had worked out
their whole office; they had carried the
country through the war, and were no long
cr necessary, and he hoped that Congress
during its present session, would repeal
all the legal tender acts, such repeal to take
effect January |, 1870, and that thereafter
all contracts should be made on gold ba-
sis. He thought that this could be done
without any disturbance OF the com mercial
or financial interests of the country, and
once accomplished all temptation to inlla-
ton was ended. As TO the taking away
from New England the excess OF bank cir
cnlation, he said that 1t really amounted o
nothing. The banks from the East were
now returning their circulation and with
drawing their bonds much more rapidly
than there was any demand from the
West and South for the circulation. He
thought the figures would show within the
last few months that more than double the
amount of circulation had been returned
from the East that was asked for by the
South and West.
