SMALLER SILVER NOTES.


The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune calls attention to the
fact that one of the most interesting
features of the new financial bill is the
proposition TO limit the silver certifl-
Gates to denominations of So and less,
for the purpose of forcing them into re-
tail circulation and thereby rendering
them less liable to be used For organ
ICED raids on the gold reserve. In the
opinion of financial experts in and out
of congress this provision is absolutely
necessary to permit of the establish
ment of the gold standard by law with
out embarrassment to the treasury.
while at the same time it will supply the
demand for small notes which is now
the predominant feature of the stu
alton.
On Sept. 80 the outstanding silver
