FINANCIAL.


SECRETARY FoLGER gives as his reason for
NOT receiving gold on deposit and issue GER
tifcates therefor, was because he npnre-
hends that holders of United States notes
would present them in large amounts, get
the gold for them, and Immediately deposit
the gold and take certificates for'it. A 40
per cent. reserve was deemed sufficient for
the protection of the notes. but the law re-
CURED that gold should be held against the
certificates dollar for dollar. Hence. if the
practice of issuing gold certificates without
h ilmit had been continued, it would have
u ogen III 70 The oo. power of spec
gold against certificates, and compel the
government either to suspend the redemp-
tlon OF United States notes or 90 into the
market and borrow an amount of gold
equal to the whole amount of notes ont
standing. single large operator could
nave taken notes to the New York sub
treasury, obtained the gold for them, depos-
ted the gold and taken certificates, dispos-
Gu oi tiie certlhcates for more notes, and
tnen repeated the process, and so on indeii-
nltely. Ii was to prevent the possibility of
any such operation that the secretary de
eIined to issue more certificates, and Mr..
folger states that it has been deemed pru-
dent to adhere to this policy to the present
time.
