The resumption Of specfo-payments by the Gov.
esumcnt means the payment on demand Of gold or
silver for tegnl-tendort. The New York 15a6ans
points out that there arc two ways OF approaching
this problem. One ID to accumulate tho gold TO
pay oil all the greenbacts now outstanding. An.
other ID TO lcsacn tho number OF Xrccnbacks to bc
redeemed. Every grcenback dollar stored sway In
the Treasury bofors tho day Of resumption, and
kept there, will DO useful to the Government "A
a coin dollar. Tho New York 7ribuns argues that
Secretary Sherman cnn sell bou1s for grcenbacks
the only requirement OF tho law being thAt the
bonds shall not be sold At n,lca tesa than par In
gold. Bat II tho Secretary 'ntcrrrots tho law to
require him to take coin only, he can certainly sell
coin for grccnbackB.
