silver dollars to the amount of the one, two
and FIVE dollar certificates as soon as the
latter can reach the hands Of the people,

from the demands being received-that no
one will want the coin when the certificates
are accessible. "The 10000, 900 Of 81 GER
tifcates will be as n drop in the bucket,

gress will undoubtedly authorize an en
largement of the issue.
