If Il is said that these notes II held by the

treasury can on demand draw gold from

Question of Quality. Not Quantity.

In our present predicament no gold Is
received by the government in pay
nsent of revenue charges. nor would there
be ~ the revenues were increased. The re-
ceipts of the treasury, when not in silver
certificates consist of United States notes
and treasury notes issued for silver pur-
chases. These forms Of money are only
useful to the government in paying its
current ordinary expenses, and its guam
tity in government possession does not in

pire Eject of Free Coinage.

In the light of these experiences, which
accord with the experiences of other ma
tions. there is certainly no secure ground
for the belief that an act Of congress could

own but all silver to its lost ratio with gold
Our attempt to accomplish this by the free

from actual relative values would be the
