which directs the committee to investigate
and report “what effect the bond sales had
on the credit and business of the people of
the United States.’ I have the honor to say
that, in my opinion, the sales were neces
gary for the preservation of the credit of the
government and the seourity of the business
interests of the people, and that they, in fact,
accomplished thes results. It Is not posst-
ble to state in this communication all the
facts upon which this opinion is based, but
it may be sald in general, that the effect of
each sale was to restore confidence for the
time being, at least, in the power and pure
pose of the government to maintain its own
credit, to preserve the parity of cur coins
and the valine of our currency, and to check
the return of our securities ia large amounts
from other countries fur sale in the markets
