TIE CIRCULATING MEDIUM
statistical Statement of It's Contraction
During the Last Session Of Congress.

iBy tell graph 10 the Disratch.l
WASHINGTON. July G0.-Thc following
statement in regard to the contraction Of
The aegr, gate circulating medium during
the last session Of Congress il based on in
formation obtained at the Treasury Depart
ment:
On December I. 1883. the silver dollars
in circulation outside OF the United States
Treasury amounted TO al ,30l ,9S3, silver
certificates to 2S7,91G,2 pol. gold certificates
to $5S.SgT.C20, nalionalhank notes 10
S343,GgS. ISL, and legal-tcndcr notes to
1896 SGG,312. on July |, 1881. the same
items were: silver dollars, $50, 79i,9l3;
silver certificates. 500, OH: gold certil-
Gates, S1l,IiG,Gi0; naiional-bank notes,
s32j.337, $50; and lcgal-tcnder notes, $780,
i97,2l5.
These figures show a decrease Of 9l.jO1,-
O70 in silver dollars; an increase Of $500
$40 in silver certificates: an increase OF
Sl2.249G20 in gold certificates; decrease
Of $500. 927 in hational-bink notes, and
decrease OF S309,lj1 In leyal-tcnder
notes.
The result is an apparent increase OF
S222.G10 in the aggregate circulating me-
dunn Of the country outside OF the amounts
held i'm the Treasury. This apparent in
crease. however, is due 10 an increase Of
S12.249,020 in gold certificates. which is
merely circulation in the form Of certlt-
Gates Of gold which was already in the
bands OF the people and banks. In
other words, the scarcity OF paper
currency caused by the decrease in nation
al bank circulation induced the people to
use their gold. and they deposited il to OBJ.
tain the more convenient gold certificates.
Deductng, therefore, this $l2,2i9, 02O,
shows real contraction for the seven
months ending June 30, 1884, OF about
s12,CO0.OC0. In addition, the eXporta-
tion Of gold from the country exceeded
the importation during the same period by
s32.l04. 1876. while the gold production OF
the mines Of the country is estimated to
have been about s12,000,000. The net loss
81 gold was therefore about S20.000,000.
This, added 20 the contraction OF other
forms Of currency before shown 10 the
amount of about Sl3.0OO.0OO, makes total
contraction Of the circulating medium Of
the country, outside OF the Treasury, Of
about S32, 100000.
Ii Is asserted in the Office Of the Comp
trollcr oi the Currency that the Mcpherson
iii. which failed 10 become a law, would
have at once added about $50, 100000 to the
national bank circulation OF the country
and would have compensated for the severe
contraction which has occurred.
