THE CCRRfO.WT QUESTION.
fin the fjrr-wy quention the chw-cut.
ronclae and pointed recommendationa
are r?celveJ w(th marked favor. The
prvxkk-iil ro-onimendn. In rl-.-f, that aa
noon aa the revenue of the government
equal th" expenditures a, new nysitem be
adopted by -irh tne t'r.lted Stales note
-hlch are. redeemed n gold nhall be ?i
aside n a aeparate fund and not reissued
except for gold. Th process would break
the so-tMJlni "endless oiiam" by which
the rol tia ban on former occasions
pumped out of the trea-wry. The green
hacks .ire upon their face redeemable In
sold upon presentation, while the declar
ation of eo-nrress that the policy of the
government to maintain all of Its cur.
rency at pur 1th gold tit is been looked
upon as indirectly at least bringing fhf
notes l-wut-U undt-r Uia so- alltd Sherman
act within that category. The law as it
now s-ramls tvqulre-s that greenbacks,
when redeemed In gold, shall be resu-d
by the gov-rnment In- current business
trnnsactlons. and this of course makes
it prootloaH.le to u-"-e them eu-ain for draw.
ng r- .-e gold out of xhe treasury; thus
they become what s popularly known
as the e-ndleos chain for the constant
withdrawal of gold. Should the presl
ilenfs recommendation tie adot-ltnl, those
notis which are rwl-i-med In gold would
not be reissued, and thus the opportunity
for continued withdrawals of gold would
soon cease. The criticism which s made
. ... . . i !
by tt-.ose desiring to criticise this prop
osition Is that t would result In a con.
traction of t'"- i-urranry, because those
notes thus redeemed and retained In the
treasury woukl not again go Into circu
lation, and thus the circulating medium
of the country be practically reduced to
that extent. Ths objection Is met, how.
ever, by a further recommendation by
tho president that the national hanks be
permitted to lsnue currency up to the
par value of the 'bonds deposited as se
curity for their or'ulntlon Instead of 90
per cent cf their Pace value as at pres
ent; also that the government tax upon
natlmnl bank circulation be reduced to
one-lmlf of one per cent. Instead of one
per cent ns at presnt. It s belleveo
that thK f adopted, -would lead the na.
tlomil banks to increase their currency
to a greater extent than the reduction
In currency which might come from the -
retention of the I'nlted States notes re. '
deemed In gold. The mitjonal banks at
present utilise as a basis for their cur
rency less than one-hulf of the govern,
ment bonds out-iunding. It would thus.
In cose of nn Increased demand for cur.
I
rency. be practicable for them to Inert ise
,er, mleruiJ- ...eamou.., o. uieircur-
rency. i p to tnis time tney nave utuinexi
only a small proportion of the bonds
available for that purpose, because of ihe
fact that there s not sufficient profit
In the Issuance of their notes to warrant !
such action, nnd If the president's reeom.
memlatlons are carred out, and .hey are
permitted to issue note up 'o the par
value of the bonds, nnd the tax upon
thi-ir currency is reduced, it !s believ-d j
Wait it will cerralnly add to the curre--y
of tho country more than any reduction
which would follow the ref-mon n the
treusury of the I'nlted States notes re- !
deemed in geld. The president also rec.
ommends that the banks themselves be I
reeiulred to redeem their own no'es in
gold. Thus, by th- graduil nirement
of those obligations of the government
upon which gold cai constantly be de
manded and making the ob11galon of
Ihe hfinks payable by those banks in gold, j Chicago. Deo. IS. This aiternoon In
the foundation Is laid for the gradual ; view of hundreds of men In Green's bis
transfer to the banks of the burden of i billiard haJl near the board of trade,
supplying the gold demanded by thtjM. J. Moore, formerly passenger agent
country. This genwral proposition, which! at Denver, ot the Chicago Alton, shot
leys (he foundation for a final retirement ! and killed hrmself. Moore, it Is snd. wiu
of the gold-demand obligations and trans-1 despondent over the loss of his position
fer of this burdei to the banks, as Is the 'and money.
