Rotary Of the Treasury sell a. 42 per cent bonds
at not less than par coin to the extent necessary TO
able him 70 redeem III coin the legal tenders outstanding
on Jan /, 1879. Mr. GrosyenOrs proposition is that
while the price which the bonds shall be sold ia fixed
by the law the kind OF money 10 be received In exchange
for them is not Now, Instead OF selling the bonds
for gold and boarding the gold the Secretary has the
power to sell them for legal tenders and hoard the
legal tenders until the day Of resumption The hoard
ing Of gold would affect foreign markets, ana might De
press the price OF per cent bonds below par. Accumu-
atOn OF legal tenders would have the reverse effect
with prospect OF speedy resumption to strengthen
public credit" MrGro5ycnOr, bonds 10 the amount
OF $2O0O 100000 could probably be sold In single year
