thus strengthening the treasury TO meet
the final resumption and keep the excess OF
coin over the demand pending its perma-
Bent use rs q circulating medium at home.
All that would be required would be to re-
duce the volume of the legal tender notes
in circulation. To accomplish this would
suggest an act authorizing the Secretary of
the Treasury to issue four per cent bonds
with forty years to run before maturi-
ty, to be exchanged for legal ten
der notes whenever presented IN sums
of $50 or any multiple thereof,
the whole amount of such bonds,
however, not to exceed $l50,000 600. To
increase the home demand for such bonds
would recommend that they be available
for deposit in the United States treasury
for banking purposes under the various pro
visions of the law relating to national banks.
/ would suggest further that the national
banks be required to retain a certain part
of the coin interest received by them from
bonds deposited with the treasury to secure
their circulation. / would also recommend
the repeal of the third section of the joint
resolution for the issue of silver coin, ap-
proved July %, 1876, limiting subsidiary
coin and fractional currency to $50, 600, 600.
/ am satisfied that if Congress will enact
some such law as will accomplish the end
suggested they will give relief to the coun-
try instantaneous In its effect and for which
they will receive the gratitude of the whole
people. q. s. GRANT.
