bemuse there would now be difficulty

BONDS OF SMALL DENOMINA
TION'S.
I suggest that the bonils be Issued in
denomlnMlolM of F-ffi ami *50, anti their
mufftlples, and that they bear Interest
at a rate not exceeding 3 p.*r cent, per
annum. I do not seo wny they should
not be payable fifty years from their
date. Wo of tbe present generation
have largo amounts to pay if we meet
our obligations, and long bonds are
most saleable. Tbe secretary of tbo
treasury might well be permlttiM at
his discretion to receive on the sale of
bonds the legal tender/ and treasury
notes to be retired, ami of ootirxo -when
they are thus rot nd or redeemed In
gold they should be cancelled.
These bomb under existing laws
could be deposited by nattonat banks
a« soonrity for cirmlstlon. »nd such
banks should be allowed to Issue circu
lation up to the face vslnc of these or
any other bond* deposit'd, except
bonds outstanding beartna only 3 per
cent. Interest, ami which seffl In tbe mar
ket st less than par. -National banks
should not be allowed to take out cir
culating notes of s less denomination
than *10, and when such as are out
standing reach the treasury, except for
redemption and retirement, they should
be cancelled aod notes of the denomi
nation of *10 and upwards Issued
their stead. H irer certificates of the
denomination of *10 snd upwards
should be replaced by certlOextes
d-ti'cnitiatlons under *10.

“The message states the situation

and patriotism enough In the present
