1 do not desire in any way to throw doubt
upon this calculation. 1 hope II Is correct.
At any rate, We are bound TO treat IL as
being so. But the present condition un-
doubtedly is. temporarily-even IL the Sec
rotary be right-that Of monthly de-
ficiency.
The Gold Account Should BE Separate.
Now, that deficiency ought not to run
into our gold account. 1t ought to be sep
arate. 1t ought to be kept by itself. How
will you do that? The remedy is perfectly
simple. If the Secretary will not have
revenue and declares that he is face 20
face with a surplus, we must treat the case
upon that basis. Otherwise We arouse
party feeling, and come to no arrangement
on the subject. How shall we do this! II
seems to me that we should require the
Secretary of the Treasury, as long as this
deficiency continues to exist, even though
it exists only temporarily, to issue GER
tificates of Indebtedness bearing such rates
of interest not exceeding per cent, as he
deems suitable and proper, so as 10 pay
off this deficiency just as fast as 1t accrues
and leave untouched the greenback re-
deeming resources of the country Let the
people of the United States then see
whether those who have greenbacks do not
want them, and If they are all returned II
may be guide to the people to know what
to do with those greenbacks If they do
not choose at some future time to destroy
them; If, when the times become as they
have been during the past sixteen years,
the people prefer to use them, We owe
debts enough to employ them. and perhaps
they may be used to redeem these very
bonds which produce the gold.
so also, when We come to the surplus
which Mr.. Carlisle thinks is in sight.
When We come to that, if We issue GER
tificates of Indebtedness for the deficit. GER
tificates running two years. would not
care If the time was even shorter, but say
two years-reGeemable at the pleasure of
the government, then the surplus can be
used to wipe out that deficit. and We shall
stand free from that part Of our debt. In
addition TO that, these certificates offer an
advantage to the country over the present
system. Under the present system the de-
ficiency must be met by longtime sold
bond. and when We get ready to purchase
those bonds, that is just the time that they
will get ready to go up, and We shall pay
a pretty penny before We get them back:
but If we issue short-time certificates Of
temporary on their face, we
supply the place of these long gold bonds.
which will otherwise have TO be paid.
Now, why is not that the solution of our
problem, without raising vexed questions
which we know cannot be solved? Why IS
It not a practical solution Of our trouble7
Why is it not suitable in every way?"
