REPORT OF SECRETARY GAGE.
brief isesums Of His Plan to Improve the
' National Currency, .-' 80


National Currency. e- 80.
Washington, Dec. S.-A notable thing
about the report of Secretary Gage, of
the treasury, is that he figures out a
deficit not only for the current year.
but also for the next year. He esti-
mates the da1cit for the current fiscal
year at s2s.00e.0OO and for next year at
t2l,6i',ss5. With reference to the tariff
he says: 1T is confidently believed
that when in full operation it will afford
ample revenue for the ordinary needs
or the government, whise adequately
protecting our manufacturing and
agricultural interests. But the i'm
portant part of Secretary Cages report
relates to the something necessary to
be done to put the currency on a DIFF
ferent basis.
Upon this point he recommends the
establishment of division in the treas
ury department TO be designated the
issue and redemption division. To this
should be turned over all matters re-
lating to the issue and redemption Of
currency: it should be furnished with
SIN, 100000 in gold set over from the
general fund Of the treasury, with all
the silver dollars now held for re-
demption of silver certificates and with
$2oO.G0o,0oo in legal tender notes Of the
United States to be disbursed only in
exchange for gold. This is the plan
referred to in the presidents message.
As to the currency he recommends
that the organization Of national banks
q NR-fsh ,,,,;,
of $4,000 in places CT 1900 inhabitants
that the rate of taxation on circulation
be reduced to half of I per cent. and
that the banks be permitted to issue
notes to the par value Of 2k per cent.
refunding bonds (the issue Of which he
advises) when deposited with the treas
urer OF the United States. or green
backs, treasury notes or silver certifi-
Gates similarly deposited to a total
amount of 5000. 100000
And here the secretary makes the fol-
lowing recommendation: After said
banks have deposited such bonds.
greenbacks. treasury notes or silver
certificates to the amount OF so per
cent. of their capital they shall be per-
mitted to issue bank notes in addition
to the 80 per cent. thus provided to the
extent OF % per cent. of such deposit.
which said % per cent may be unse-
cured by any direct pledge of security,
but issued against the assets Of the
bank" Gage would extend the gov
ernment guaranty to all national bank
notes, whether issued against deposited
security or against assets.
To secure the government against
loss he would impose a tax of per
cent per annum on the unsecured cir
culation for safety fund.-" and also
make the governments claim a first
lien upon all assets in case of failure
Of the issuing bank. All national bank
notes to he of the denomination of $40
and upwrad. The secretary argues the
expediency and safety of his plan in
eStenso. basins it primarily on the
recognized necessity for a reduction in :
the volume of the demand liabilities
''now constituting a menace to the pub
lie treasury"
Rock Island Argus., 1897-12-08

OF isSS'ard 1896. anu applying the rates
OF the oct Of 1887 the estimated receipts
amount to se9. 4.152. or an increase of
$So,oas,sS0 over the actual receipts.
The total excess of expenditures over
receipts during the four months of 1897
ebove named amounted to sS5Os4,17 %.
1t Will be seen. therefore, that had the
importations been as large durins: the
past four menths as the average of tho
importations for the CORRESPONDING
period of 1892 and 1896 the receipts
would have been s15.e53 in excess of ex-
penditures; and had the importations
been as large as they were in 1892 the
receipts would have exceeded the ex-
penditures by s22.s50,e54. Your attention
Is also called to the fact that the collec-
tions under the present law show a
gradual increase each month as follows:

The governor then calls attention to

The San Francisco call., 1897-12-25

Il do not mind saying 1 was poor.
When l left the summit little over a
year ago l didn't have a nickel to my
name. I had hard luck around Dawson
City until finally l got a job papering
a mans saloon. That gave me a little
money and started out to prospect on
Ell Dorado creek and luck was with me
We took s150,000 out of eighty square
feet, the gold running from $25 to $3.50
to the pan, L guess we've got enough
so that we won't have to go without
Christmas dinners in the future"
Clements sailed for the Klondike on
March Is. 1896, arriving at Dawson
City on June IS following. He left
Dawson City on the return trip on
June 19, 1897, on the Portland, the
steamship that brought the first load of
wealth that started a Klondike craze
all over the world. He will go back
as soon as he has visited friends in
New England and elsewhere, to add to
his store of riches.
All the friends gathered around
Clements Christmas tree took away
with them nuggets OF pure gold in the
form of scarf pins as souvenirs of the
occasion. After the gifts had been dis
tributed the $4,000 or $4,000 treasure
was locked up in the hotel safe and
then the evening was given up to
stories of Klondike adventure told by
Mr.. Clements, interspersed with music.
