iseUE OF GOLD CERTIFICATES,
Secretary Cariisic May Resume Prac.
tice euspe uded In 1909.

tice suspended In 1893.
The Secretary Of the Treasury IL con.
sidering the question Of rcsuming the Is.
she Of gold certificates. which was sus-
pended in 1Ss1 when the gold reserve
first fell below the S1OO.OOO.OO0 point.
The issue Of these certificates was sus-
pended as means of acquiring gold In
the treasury. Heretofore 1t had been
the custom Of the treasury to issue certifi-
Gates on the deposit Of gold. but such gold
did not become part of the gold reserve.
Ivy suspcnding the issue of those certiti-
Gates many holders of gold. rather than
hold II. exchanged II for legal tenders and
treasury notes. which. under the ruling of
the department being gold obligations.
practically subserved their purposes. but
the treasury on receipt Of gold so dis.
charged was enabled to add 1t TO the gold
reserve. As long as the treasury adhered
to its policy of rcdecming legal tenders
and treasury notes in gold the holders Of
such notes could obtain gold on demand
as readily on them as on gold certificates.
Since the election and the gradual In.
crease of the gold reserve such leaders
believe that there is no reason why the
issue Of gold certificates should not be
resumed. The matter is now before Soc
rotary Carlisle. and probably will be de-
cided upon the return Of Assistant Sec.
rotary Curtis from New York. Ii IL I'm.
derstood that Mr. Carlisle Is not favora.
bly, disposed toward the resumption. The
issue of currency certificates under the
act of 1872 has never been suspended.
