In order to correct various published
mistatements in reference to the amount
Of additional circulation recently issued
to National Banks in New York city, the
Comptroller Of the Currency furnishes
the following:
The total amount Of additional circu.
lation issued to all the National banks OF
the country since the passage OF the act Of
January II, 1875, to date Is S27,3ll, ,S25.
OF this amount S3,4O2,770 have been is
sued to the banks in the city Of New
York. The circulation OF the New York
city banks will need 10 be increased S..
OO0,C0O or half Of the present amount in
order to equal the amount outstanding at
the date OF the passage OF the act OF Jan.
IA, 1875. There is no foundation for the
statement that the National Bank OF New
York city has had issued to it 81, 900, 900
of additional circulation at three different
times during the past few weeks, as the
whole amount issued to all the banks Of
the city Of New York during the present
year has been but slightly in excess Of
$4,000, 600.
President Hayes, although in former
years prediSposed, like many other hard.
money men, to adhere to the prevalent
doctrine Of finance writer's in favor OF a
single gold standard, has materially
changed his viewa during the progress Of
the general discussions regarding the
wisdom and propriety OF the act Of 1873,
which demonetized the old legal-tender
silver dollar. He is now in favor Of its
reconciliation and Of the re.adoption Of
the double standard in gold and silver,
or, IN other words, he favors full re-
turn to the condition Of things in rela-
ton to these subjects which existed pre-
vious to the legislation Of 1873, being
convinced that such 4 return to the for.
mer system will greatly promote the re-
sumption OF specie payments, an object
that he regards as Of the first importance
While, however, he considers the legiSIa.
ton OF 1873 to have been hasty and
uncalled for interference with the legal
tender powers Of large portion Of our
circulating medium, he has notl YET
formed any determination to bring the
subject officially to the attention Of Con.
gress, although it is BY no means improb.
able that he may hereafter conclude that
some recommendation on his part OF the
the nature above outlined, will be advisa.
