The Treasury's new method Of making It's pubic DEBT
statement differs the old method principally In that
IL recognizes the bonds issued to the Pacific railroads and
the due and accrued interest upon them as part OF
the direct debt the United States and also that the
act OF July H. 1892 specifically sets aside $lOOOooooo
OF gold coin bullion to be held for the re-
demption OF legaende notes as follows "That the Soc
rotary OF the Treasury suspend the issue Of such gold
certificates whenever the amount OF gold coin ana gold
bullion In the Treasury reserved for the redemption OF
United States notes falls below l000000O0 and the
provisions OF section 6207 OF the Revised Statutes shall
be applicable 20 the certificates herein authorized ana
directed TO be Issued" stnl the statement might be
