To Preserve the Parity.
This law provides that in payment for
the 450,000 i
which the secre of the treasury is com
manded to purchase monthjy. there shall
be jssned treasury notes redesmable on de
mand in gold or silver coin, at the discre
{ tion treasury, and that the said
{ notes may be reissued. It is, however, de

the two metals on a
other upon the present legal ratio, or such
ratio as may be provided by law.” This
declaration so controls the action of the
secretary of the treasury as to prevent
his exercising the discretion nomi
nally vested in him if by such
action the parity between gold and
silver may be disturbed. Manifestly, a

pay these treasury notes in gold, if «
manded, would necessarily result in their

the parity between the two metals by es
tablishing a discrimination in favor of
gold.
Gold for Silver.
Up to the 15th day of July, 1808, these
notes had been issued in payment of silver
bullion purchases to the amount of more
than $147,000,000, While all but a very
small quantity of this bullion remains un-
coined and without useluloess
treasury, many of the notes given in its
purchase have been paid in gold
This is illustrated by the statement that
between the 1st day of May, 1802, and the
{ 18th day of July, 1808, the notes of this
{ kind fssned in payment for silver ballion
| amounted to a little more than $54,000,000,
isnd that during the same period about
$40,000,000 were pald by the tressury in
gold for the redemption of such notes,
The policy necessarily adopted of payin
these notes in gold has not spared the hoe |
reserve of $100,000,000 long ago set aside by
the government for the redemption of
other notes, for this fand has already been
mbjected to the payment of new obliga
tions amounting to about $150,000.00 on
account of silver purchases, and has, as a
consequence, for the first time since its
creation, been encroached upon,
