A REFLECTION.

1t ought never to occur in the finan-
cial history of this country again that
banks have to issue clearance house
certificates" for the people to do
business. Why not coin gold and
silver as fast as minted and issue
treasury notes redeemable in gold and
silver, backed by the resources of the
Government, and make the volume Of
money sufficient for all business pur-
poses? 1t is reflection on the financial
system of our National government and
congress and the President, that such
q state of money stringency should ex.
ist. If we have statesmen 10 congress and
the President has any sagacity, then
the monetary condition Of our country
should be 80 strong and the currency
80 voluminous and elastic as to meet
any emergency or stringency that may
occur.
