directing the Secretary OF the Treasury
to inform the Senate whether the lue
or policy Of his department, which re-
quires the payment of checks for silver
bullion over the counter of the Sub
Treasury, instead of through the proper
clearing house, does not result in paying
out notes of the larger denominations
instead of those suited for circulation
anil ordinary business transactions; and
whether such method of payment does
not result in the payment of gold instead
OF treasury notes.

spicuous illustration that has taken

partment to obstruct or accelerate the
