throwing open the doors OF the Treasury and saying
II you want your gold present your grcenbacks; we
are ready to redeem them fast presented" There
are methods known TO bankers OF raising their
bills to gold standard when by chance they have
sunk below it, one OF them TO decrease the amount
those by calling in loans until they have re-
duced their circulation to amount not exceeding
their gold reserve hand 10 such extent "a likely
to embarrass them. We have as nation decided this
Spring that will not reduce the volume or our cir
cuatOn that it Is than il needed for the conve
of the people So we must adopt the only other
known method namely to increase our amount OF gold
the Treasury until 1t bears such pro-
portion to the circulation will warrant our
throwing open the Treasury doors for Presumption.
We can fill the Treasury most quickly ny issuing
bonds and selling them 10 whoever will buy them, at
whatever discount necessary but this plan has the
Disadvantages of increasing the Understanding debt OF
the United states and also the discount we should DC
But If we do not issue bonds lay heavier taxes
upon imports. and cause greater stream TO dow INTO
not want to National debt this the only pos
sibe bring II about But have the opinion that
the peope of the nted states would be satisfied with
sumption at as early day IL would be possible and
safe TO attempt it, II the Treasurer would simply hold on
70 the gold which now comes into Treasury with
the taxes they We cannot resume until we have
enough gold on hand TO do so safely and every
dollar of gold that goes out OF the Treasury puts
the day OF resumption so much further OH.
But says one. the demand for gold would remain the
same and II YOU cut of the supply which now comes
from the Treasury sales, you' would the price OF

working reply that IL Is not 80. Let the Treas

gold which was to have left shores for Europe,
will stay home for market and European gold VIII
come here provided is not offered for IL at home

credit good that OF any other nation and would
be perhaps better las soon as II was known that We

SIR: The near approach of Summer induces

may be secured and the charms of nature enjoyed freed
FROM the irksomc restrictions OF fashion. To those who
seek rest who need the restorative influence Of bracng
mountain air, and who delight inscharming scenery,
Bethel Hill" the State of Maine, during the heat OF
Snmmer, is a most attractive spot The Audroscoggln
River brightens the landscape, and beside its winding
course are most attractive drives From every hilltop
views OF varying beauty present themselves Bethel Is
encrcled by mountains Of no mean dimensions. The
White Mountains within view, and their submits
aud tho return ride be accomplished during the same
day. The town Is enylrOned by singuarly attractive
scenery. The drives to Rumford Falls, Lake Umbagog.
and many other interesting localities combine almost
variety of landscape. Mountain springs supply
the streams, in which speckled trout abound.
Bethel Hi has long been the resort OF some OF the
best families OF Boston and Portland, and IN recent
years many from NewiOrk and Brooklyn have found 1t
locality beyond cav and entire exemption from shay
