WAsHIsorox Crr1. Apsil ls--The Esnats
silver commistes held meeting this morn
ms, - which Secretary Window said The
reason for his advocating The redemption in
bullion of the certificates issued for the
purchase Of bullion was that IL would make
The certificates more valuable To require
their redemption in silver dollars would Be,
IN his opinion, to discretit them: while 70
require their redemption in gold coin
might seriously embarrass the government
He insisted that there are only tvo ways
In which the credit Of the government can
Be protected in the issue of the large num-
Der OF treasury notes contemplated.
One Is by bullion redemption, as pro-
posed in his bill. and the other by author
ising the sale OF bonds to provide gold
reserve when it became necessary 10 re-
deem them. The latter policy he believed
wholly unnecessary and unjustifahle. and
hence there Was no other means Of protec-
ton than the bullion redemption PROPOSE
ton- He said he deemed this feature alb
solnteiy essential in protecting the credit
OF the country, and would feel it his duty
70 oppose any measure that gave the
holder Of the certificate the option on the
currency IN which it should be redeemed.
Alter the secretary had given his views
upon the bill and the basis for them, dis
cussion took place upon the SUBJECT Of the
suficiency of the circulation Secretary
Windom had stated to the COMMITTEES that
the total circulation was 81 ~. 900 600, an
average of $2l.7O per capita on . basis of
65.o0o.0O of population. Actually. how
ever. this sum was subject to diminution
by the amount tied up in various ways. re-
serves held for redemption Of notes, ETC., so
that the per capita of circulation was con-
siderably less The secretary agreed with
the senators, Is he had with the represen-
tatives, that IN addition to the circulation
was necessary. but in the conference today
no definite sum was named.
