On the money question he said: 1T is
tho purpose, undoubtedly, Of this ad-
ministration to retire the backs

tenn by which the national banks will
be authorized to issue all paper
money. Their next move will be to
retire silver, and then bank notes will

money by which debts can be paid.
All debts will have to be paid in the
