Filling the vaults Of the Treasury with
gold, placing it beyond reach, must tend
tc increase its price. The men who pur.
chase tito comply with contracts payable
in gold, and those who must have gold
with which to pay customs duties, will
certainfy fEd that they must pay higher
price for it, unless paper currency I've ia

To counteract this effect, the Treasury
Department locks up an immense amount

The SHERMAN scheme of resumption,
