Increase Of the Public Debt
Chicago Evening InurnaI.

'hcago Evening journal
\ few months ago the secretary of the
treasury lost his balance. His mental bal
ance, not his money balance. was the
equipoise which temporarily disappeared.
He became afraid that the treasury was
coming into possession uf too much silver
and was losing too much gold. He therefore
made an arrangement with the New York
banks Ia sell them So coo. 600 in fractional
silver coin for gold. They would not buy
silver dollars. but aS the fractional silver is
redeemable in legal tender. they were
willing 10 take that. because they could IT.
turn ii TO the treasury and get their gold
back again whenever they should desire so
10 do.
II appears As matter of fact that the
banks paid the gold into the treasury. but
never actually took the silver ont. They
We're given certificates eutitling them To
draw the silver coin un demand. hut they
never used the certificates for that purpose.
In the monthly debt statement, however,
the silver due the banks did not appear,
while the gold that they had paid in did ap-
pear, swelling the gold on hand ani dimin-
iShing the amount of the debt less cash in
the treasury to that extent.
During the last month the hanks took a
notion that they did not want this silver
coin, after all. and presented their certificates
for redemption. This transaction was
equivalent 10 demanding gold nr Iegal-ten-
ders for the silver coin. which they were en-
titled 10 do under the law. The treasury
thus got back it, silver coin, and the banks
got back their gold. As soon as the silver
was placed in the treasury it was retired to
Its old position among unavailable assets. -
and the amount of cash in the treasury
available for the redemption of the debt
was 80 much less. That accounts for the
increase in the public debt last month. 1t
grows out of Mr.. Maunins> fruirleSS and
silly jugglery with what he is pleased 10 call
