tend terribly TO lessen the respect or the

which l consider unwarranted and with
out precedent These bonds viii be
caught up by capitalists and fifty mill
lions Of gold will be retired from circula-
ton. In my judgment, the wisest course
to have been pursued would have been
, TO have coined the SILVER seigniorsge now
in the Treasury vaults, and as Il is
claimed to be impossible 10 definitely de-
termine and separate the seigniorage.

would be ample for the present needs OF
the government. and instead of contract

currency would increase the circulating
medium to that extent"
