THE treasurer of the Atchinsou
Topeka and Santa Fs Railroad sent
to ST. Louis for currency last week
and received $4,000 in silver GER
tifcates, which he paid out to credi
tors in Topeka. 1t is said that for
the past three week almost the
whole Of the currency received in
that section from the East has been
in silver certificates of the denomi-
nation of IS, $40 and $50. The
unusual influx of this money occa-
slons much apprehension among
local bankers and business men.
who allege that it is the result of a
scheme on tho part of the great cor
porations of the East to debase the
silver dollar. They assert that the
banks of New York and other East
ern cities are boarding the green
backs and national bank notes and
pushing out the silver certificates
IN endless quantities, and at the
proper time will refuse them en-
tirely and demand O premium of |
or per cent. ON greenbacks and
national bank notes, which call for
gold, while the silver certificates. or
white backs" as they are termed.
are payable in silver dollars. Another
theory is that this general circula-
ilon OF the silver certificate and the
consequent appreciation of the sill
Yer dollar is done as a preliminary
step toward moving upon Congress
to make the silver dollar equal in
value to gold.-Ledger.
