ing the amount of national bank notes designated

said Mr Warren. But I would 80 further ana
have the statute as II stands at present amended
az to leave II within the discretion OF the Secre-

Of circulation to be retired monthly. We must not
lose sight of the fact how ~ever, that national bank
notes are not lawful money, and are. therefore,
not reserve; that banknote circulation has now
reached the sum of ssie.ooo.ooo and that the in
crease In such circulation in the month past ap-
