though the censor prohibited publios-

leaked out In that city, creating n sem

ON Questions wiib which lao VIII
Deal as Secretary OF tho TREASURY.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-A special to
the World rom Chicago shyt: The
World submit.el in writing 10 Mr..
Lyman j. Gage number OF questions
c.ncsrning the most vital iesuus with
which he will deal as secretary OF the
treasury. MIR. Gage WITH great candor
and courtesy makes his position quite
clear on all OF them, as foIlowt:
"OIr whole monetary system lie the
resultant Of makeshift legislation anu
unscientlflc compromises. IL 10 time
that reform began.
"1n my own opinion the greenbacks
should DO permanently retired. The
silver purchased under the Sherman
act should be gradually old ana the
treasury notes redeemed anu Cancelled.
Some well-guardeu system OF bank
note circulation, broader and more
elastic than that the present national
bank act provides, should be inaugu.
rated.
"Such bank nOtes to BIO redeemable

able in gold only. Silver certificates,
which form nearly one-fltth OF tho cir.
culating medium Of the UDitod States.
are dangerous. BY their use volume
Of inferior money has found an At
normal use. They are the most per.
picking feature In the much-involved
problem OF cur national tinanpes.
"rhere IL 30 reason why tue gov
eminent should act as u warenouseman
for either gold or silver. 5uch iuuc
ton is outside Its proper limit OF ao-
ton.
"But we are faced by condition.
The enormous amount OF $500, 100000
Of silver, represented by S3iS,O00,OOO
In silver certificates, added to the Sl50,-
900, 000 purchased by the gOvtrImt mt
unuer the Sherman ACT, constitutes "a
standing menace to every business In
terest. TO sum up the detects Of our
present currency:
"First -. CONFUSING heterogeneity,
which needs simpli ticgtion.
"Second-The greenbsck controverts
the principle Oh paper money, w.,
that every note injected into the com-
mercial system should represent an
existing commercial value.
"Fhird-rhe treasury note is
standing evidence OF q foolish opera.
tior-the creation OF a deb. for the
purchase on a falling market OF com.
modify of which the purchaser has no

qulremeDts Tor security parslyze its
efficiency and operate to destroy Its
