tloa thla afternoon on tbe proposed
remedy for tbe non alaatioety of tbe

tbe toggtatad remedies appeal to me
ao strongly at sn authorisation of ad

tbe bank should pay a tax of fire or

Tba government' consideration of
the Us would be a guarantee of tbelr
redemption. This U t ba-ueed In
eaaa of an emergency. Thla method
would hot advertise the xietence of
the emergency because it would put
no new kind of currency la circulation."
