pie gold reserve TO Offset the issue Of
silver coinage
But the vital essence Of the bill in
question Is TO make the legal tender silver
dollars remaining outstanding exchange
able at all times into gold when presented
IN sums OF s. or multiples thereof
Exchangeable With Gold.
If the act Of March "A. 1900, really
means what it says, that the standard
dollar Of issue shall be the gold dollar
then every dollar Issued other than gold
should be exchangeabIe into gold; for the
maintenance OF parity, as the House COM

obligation resting upon the nation, but il
is one which the Government cannot

In our judgment nothing now prevents
silver dollars from going to a discount eI-
cept the abiding faith Of the people that
the Government will at all times keep
them worth their face value in gold. and
il 1t is the intention Of the Government
10 do this, as IS presumably the case, then

Commerce Views
on Parity.
URGES COMING IDLE SILVER
UNFOLDING of Equality Between Money
of the Two Metals Declared Moral OBJ
acknowledgements of Bu1densome
Bullion Into Subsidiary Coinage.

NEW YORK. March 7.-Believing that
the best interests the country require
par " between the legal tender silver dol
lar and gold and that the subsidiary sill
yer coinage Of the United States should
be Increased, the chamber of commerce
yesterday adopted unanimously resOlu-
tions urging Congress to take favorable
action on both propositions, which are
included in a bill now before the House OF
Representatives.
Attention was directed to the subject
by J. Harsen Rhoades, chairman OF the
chambers committee on banking and cur
rency He prefaced his resolutions with
a report which dealt exhaustively with the
subject Of the coinage and circulation Of
gold and silver.
Maintenance of Parity.
He explained that while Congress. on
March "A. 1900. declared for the gold
standard and made the gold dollar the
standard unit of value it did not. aside
from providing for the redemption OF
United States notes in gold, prescribe any
method by which parity with silver should
be maintained.
It was the purpose Of the present legis-
lation TO remedy this defect and at the
same time provide an outlet for the
volume of subsidiary coin in circulation
TO meet the needs OF commerce.
Good Use for Idle Silver.
In the judgment OF your committee, ="
said Nj Rhoades. no wiser use can be
made OF the stock OF bullion on hand than
to turn 1t into the subsidiary coinage as
needed. giving the Secretary Of the Treas
ury a free hand in reducing from time to
time the volume Of silver certificates or
silver dollars now IN circulation OF lying
idle in the vaults Of the Treasury.
Il seems 70 your committee that It is
the part Of good judgment and wise pro-
cedure. having on hand 9 large and bur
densome stock Of silver bullion, 10 utilize
il in such form as viii keep IL in circu-
latton either IN coin or small bills rep
resented by bullion deposited, for in this
way at least il can be made OF some use,
and through small coinage the risk Of it's
return to the Treasury in volume al IN
seasonable and perilous periods is largely
reduced.
