CHANGE OF CURRENCY SYS'
TEN.

1t is said that President Cleve-
land, recognizing and tacitly adj
hitting how deeply he has plunged
the country in the mire of
money stringency, is at work on
new currency system. The follow
ing from the Associate Press dis
E-I--c Gnt-,-1n,-
whole status:
"secretary Carlisle, in trying to
figure out how the gold reserve is
to be maintained by bond issues,
cannot fell to appreciate the con-
fusion of the schoolboy who cover
ed several states in working on the
problem how long before a cat Id
we'll will reach t he surface II she
crawls up six feet each day and
falls back ten feet each night. Not
withstanding assurances by the
banks and trust companies that
they will surrender their gold hold
ings for bonds and not make de-
mands on the treasury for the yel-
low metal, there is strong feeling
in the treasury that the reserve
will not escape a heavy drain. The
call for the new loan was issued on
Tuesday and already $50O,OOo in
gold has been withdrawn in New
York and Boston by rendering
treasury and United States notes
The treasury is keeping a close tao
on all Withdrawals in New York,
Boston, and Philadelphia.
Some interesting figures showing
the treasury's experience in trying
to maintain the reserve under the
present currency system, have Ieer
prepared at the treasury. Between
October, 1891, and Septem Der, 1894
the government redeemed in gold
$213, ,2e4,297 of treasury hotes anc
greenbacks. Under the law these
notes, although redeemed in gold
were reissued. During the same
period $24S,260,429 in gold wa'
lshipped abroad. Nearly $5OO,OOo,
loco was withdrawn in three years
time, or nearly five times the
amount of the reserve. With thii
experience, it is easy to understand
the feeling at the treasury thai
bond issues offer no security Sc
curity.
All these figures are before the
| President and Secretary Carlisle
and they will be found in Mr.
Clcveland's message to Congress
The Presidents investigation has
convinced him that the present
currency system must be changed
and there is no longer any doubt
that recommendations along tn {
line Will be made the chief feature
of his communication to Congress
There are now in circulation nine
kinds of currency, all except two
being dependent directly or IN
directly upon the credit OF tn
United States. One statute re
, ouires the secretary Of the treasur..
, to redeem the old legal tender note
in coin on presentation and to re
issue them, SO that, no matter hoy
often they are redeemed, they ar
never actually extinguished.
