and diminish the circulation. The
remedy proposed by the Republicans
will certainly make the matter worse.
More taxation will not bring gold in
to the Treasury, because there is no
gold in circulation, and the people
will pay their taxes in paper AID sill
yer as they may now do. 1t would
simply increase the surplus and d.
minish the volume Of circulation.
This would make the conditions worse
than they now are. We have taxa
ton enough and too much surplus in
the Treasury. The Republicans pro-
pose more taxation and more surplus.
How would that benefit the situation?

had received from two to five cents
