In speaking of the death of Mr Sher-
man Secretary Gage. said this morning:
.'Nr. Sherman was Secretary of the
Treasury during one of the most trying
periods of the departments history-the
period of the resumption of specie pay
ments. It is sing'fiarIy fortunate thing
that President Hayes should have called
to this important and by no means easy
undertaking the man who did SO mach ia
Congress to lay the legislative foundation
for its success.
1T was a memorable day when, after
sixteen years of paper money uncertain
lies, the Government at last emerged from
this evil of a great war. If Mr.. Sherman
had not also earned the gratitude of his
countrymen by other successful services in
many directions, surely the resumption of
specie payments would alone have been
sufficient TO merit lasting praise,
His death removes another striking
character deeply associated with our ma
tional history for the last forty years.
