There Is no surplus gold in the treas
ury, and the reserve has been trencbed
upon. There is no plethora OF any
kind except Of silver dollars, for which
there is no demand.
After giving the subject careful con-
sideration, l have been forced TO the
conclusion that unless both the coin
age of silver dollars and the issue of
silver certificates are suspended there
is danger that silver, and not gold,
may become our metallic standard.
The treasury would be relieved, in
measure, from the burden of the silver |
now held in the treasury by with |
drawal from circulation OF the one and |
two dollar notes, This would not be a |
gain to the treasury, but 1t would lie
gain TO the country by increasing the
amount of silver in circulation.
The amount of one dollar notes in |
circulation is S26, 1888 097 So the amount |
of two-dollar H9tes in circulation is |
$26, 77S, 73S 20. Congress would, think, |
act wisely In putting an end to their |
, circulation.
