SOME HISTORY RECALLED.
Secretary Carlisle Explains How Silver
Went to a Premium.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-An interest
found in the report of Secretary Carlisle's
recent appearance befor the ways and
means committee, which has been made
public. Mr. Silvey Penn, in the course
of an informal discussion sa id to the sec
rotary: In reply to the senate resolution
asking why the treasury had refused to
give silver in exchange for gold, you re-
ported to the effect that you had no free
silver. Has the silver accumulated since
that timer"
81 do not remember the date of that
reply" the secretary answered. THAT
was Augest II, 1898" said Mr.. Silvey
ain the summer of $685." Secretary Car
Isle explained, shy an oversight of the
assistant treasurers, throughout the
United States silver dollars were paid
out to meet the extraordinary demand
which then existed for small currency,
| to such an extent that we had. in fact,
more silver certificates outstanding than
we had silver dollars in the treasury
When | discovered the fact it was stop
ped of course, at once.
The ten sub-treasuries are scattered
| throughout the country, and not being in
communication with each other, when
the people demanded silver dollars on
account Oh great necessity Ior small cur
| rency they paid them out freely and it
was discovered that they had done so to
such an extent that outstanding silver
certificates to the amount of between
| 100000 and 100000 had no silver left
| behind them. That was at a time when
small currency was at a premium.
At another point in the discussion the
secretary having said that it had been
his experience that the kind of money
paid out by the treasury was the kind
received back, Mr.. Breckenridge re-
marked "The amountyou pay out is
which by taxes, ETC., you get back, is
it,"
ats about the same" Secretary Car
Isle replied, although in fact we are
falling behind"
