mittee by strict party vote ordered
favorable report on Saturday on the
bill TO fix the standard of value in the
United States and for other purposes.
The following IS synopsis Of the
measure:
The bill provides in substance that the
standard of value in the United States
shall be the gold dollar, that all contracts
existing and in the future shall be COM
puted in reference to the standard. that
there shall be established in the treasury
a department of issue and redemption, that
the greenbacks shall be retired. and upon
retirement that gold bills shall be sub
stituted therefor.
No silver dollars are to be hereafter
coined except from bullion now in the
treasury; the secretary of the treasury in
his discretion to coin silver into subsidiary
coin as public urgency demands, and the
recoinage of old. worn, uncurrent subsidi-
airy coin without special appropriation
therefor; such coinage of bullion to be
concurrent with the retirement of treasury
notes the same as if coined into silver dol
lars, and the coinage of such subsidiary
coin not to be limited to s5OO00.00O.
There is to be separation of treasury
accounts between issue and financial
transactions; a gold reserve of % per cent.
of outstanding notes and treasury notes is
to be maintained, also five per cent gold re-
serve of the aggregate silver dollars;
common fund for the redemption of all
notes.
The retirement of the greenbacks pro-
vision is, for the first five years, an amount
equal to the increase of national bank notes
issued subsequent to the taking effect of
the act, 20 per cent. TO be retired annually
during the next five years, and greenbacks
to cease to be legal tender at the end of
ten years. Gold and currency certificates
to be Cancelled as paid and not reissued; no
national bank notes under $40 and no silver
certificates over IS are to be issued The
tax on national banks is to be changed
from the circulation to one-tenth of one
per cent. on capital, surplus and undi-
vided profits.
The bill repeats all existing regula lions
on the withdrawal and issue of national
bank notes at will: banks may issue notes
to the full value of bonds deposited. Ma
tional banks with a capital of $25, 900 and in
cities of 1900 population may be estab
lished; branch banks may be provided I'M
der regulations of the controller of the
