WHAT KIND OP MONEY
Ao Able Address by an Able
Nan Upon Our Gold nnd
Hirer a Money.
Interesting Figure Arc Clten
and Comparisons Made
as le Their L'se.
Tloti. O. M. Lambertson, of Lincoln,
first seelsttnt secretary of tho treasury
during Harrison's administration, deliv.
red an address befors the faculty and
students of the Lincoln normal univer
sity upon the financial situation. The
address was an able one, and is valuable
for the information it contains from one
who has been in a position to speak from
the record. He draws his conclusions
from historical facts, and wliilo the
whole addrcm is too long to reprint at
this time, extracts are taken from it
giving the facts, as follows:
"We have gold coin in circulation to
the amount of 5403,01,700, and gold
certificates eCfJ,070,01P. making a total
of (-190.700.710. Uy tho statute 25 6 10
grains of gold make a gold dollar, which
is the unit of value.
The standard silver dollar consists of
U2 grains of standard silver and
371 J grains of pure metal. Tho stand
ard of both gold and silver is required
to be so that of 1,000 parts, 000 shall bo
of pure metal and 100 alloy. The
standard silver dollars in circulation are
657,020,713, and the Eiibeidary silver in
circulation is 03,400,209; silver csrtifi
cates, (320,180,105, and treai-ury notes,
8110,001,001. making a total of silver
money, and pajer money based upon
silver, in circulation, of fc$l),"WO,970, as
against (100,503,710 of gold nnd gold cer
tificates in circulation.
The United States notes in circulation
are 320,875,083; national bank notes.
cl71,73I,130; making a total currency in
circulation of (1,503,720,111. The
amount of gold, silver and other cur
rency issued is (2,1 .'0,23 1.003, of which
amount eo2iJ,531,G;2 arc in the treasury.
It is important to note the difference
between the paper currency in circula
tion. Gold certificates arc in fact note,
und promises to pay issued by the
United States, pajablc in gold dollars.
Silver certificates arc notes for the
United States, payablo in silver dollars.
Tho silver certificates were issued under
what is known an the Bland act of 1373.
Treasury notes arc notca issued by the
United States, payable in coin. Thee
notes aro issued under what is known a
the Sherman1 act of July 11, 1900, which
authorizes the purchase each month of
1,500,000 ounces of silver at tho market
prico, which are paid for by thebe treas
ury notes. United States notes nro what
aro commonly called greenbacks, or
lcal tender notes, the liret of which
wers issued early in tho war, immediate
Jy after tho United States suspended
fpecie payment. Thero were 150,000,.
000 of them issued, although at the
present timo the amount is limited to
8310,000,000, and they aro reissued as
fast as redeemed by the treasury, bo thnt
tho amount remains Hied at about
(310,000,000. These notes are made
piyable in coin, as aro the treasury
.notes, but as the act providing for the
resumption of specio pa men, passed
in 1875, authorized the redemption of
greenbacks in coin, and as at that time
6ilvcr had been demonetized by the act
of 1S73, and gold was tho onlv coin
recognized by the laws of tho United
States, tho resumption act lms alwajs
been interpreted as authorizing the pay
nient of United States notes in gold
coin, and for that purpose there has
been st apart, when the treasury had
that amount, at least 100,000,000 for tho
redemption of theso United States
notes. Hence, when wo talk about 100,.
000,000 gold rceorvo we refer to tho
amount that has been 6ct apart for tho
redemption of tho United States notes.
Th6 treasury notes which wo issuo for
tho payment of tho silver bullion of
J ,500,000 ounces purchased monthly
under tho Sherman act are also payable
in coin, ao that tho secretary of the
treasury, in hi discretion, can pay these
treasury notes either in gold or'silvcr;
but th6 act requires tho secretarv of tho
treasury to kwp the two metals so far
oi possible, at a parity. If tho secre-
tar of the treasury, when asked to re-
de'em the treasury notes in gold, should
- pay in silver, there would bo a discrimi.
nation in favor of gold, and the result
wtfuld prtobably bo that gold would go
to the premium, nnd'the parity between
the motals would be disturbed in viola
t!on of tho law.
The important distinction to bo kept
in mind is between the silver certitl
catca that wero issued under the Bland
act of 1878, payable only in silver dol
tare, and the treasury notes under tho
Sherman act of 1800, payablo in coin.
The silver certificates are only by
their terms redccmablo in silver dollar?,
while the treasury notes are by their
Jerma redeemable in coin -either gold
or silver. Tho uniform practico of the
government has been to redeem them in
gold when demanded. This is necessary
la urdCr to Uftop the two metals at a
parity as the" act requires.
Prior to the war, tho legal tender
monoy of tho United States consisting
of gold and silver coin. Paper money
issued by the banks was not legal)
lunucr. in wio ycare iwi anu 1802, tho
Bdvurnmont was in straits for means to
carry on tho war. Money could not bo
bonfowdd iu BuQleicut aums to meet the
expenditures. The banks of the coun
try suspended ppecio payment about
January 1st, 1SC2, atd the paper money
was accordingly depreciated in value.
In this emergency congress 'authorized
the secretary of the treasury to iesue
(150,000,000 of United States notes, not
bearing interest, and to pay them out in
settlement of debts of the United States
with tho of tho treasurer United States,
and had provided for the ifsuc of silver
certificates upon the deposit of etandsrd
silver dollars, and of gold certificates up
on the deposit of gold coin and bullion,
but neither of these three classes of pa
per were made legal tenders though gold
and silver certiflcates'aro receivable for
all public debt, and national bink notes
for all debts to tho government except
duties on imports. The only full legal
tender money in the L nits J btates is
gold coin. The silver dollar is a legal
tender at a nominal value for all debts
and duties, public nd private, except
where etherwipe expressly stipulated in
the contract, while the subsidiary coin
age of the United Btates is a legal ten
der to the amount of (10.
In order to makethrso notes accept
able to the perrons who aro obliged to
receive them from the governraont they
aro made legal tender for all debts pub
lic and privat, except duties on imports
and interest on the public debt. Thu
dato of the act authorizing them was
February 2Mb, 15C2. Subwquintly,
under authority of the act of July 11th,
1602 and March 3rd, 1SG4. additional is
sues of the United States notes were
made until the amount reached nearly
(150,000,000. There are still outstand
ing of these notes (310,051,010. Xo fur
ther issue of legal teudef paper money
was authorized until 1SCO, when congress
issued tho treasury notes which were
made legal tender for all debts, public
and private, except those otherwiEe ex
pressly stipulated by the contract.
Meanwhile, however, congress had au
thorized the organization of national
banks, with the privilege of Nsaini; notes
secured by the deposit of United States
londs.
liiMirrALiM.
Ikth gold and Mlver havo leen recog
nized as money in the United States
since the formation of the government
The proportion originally fixed by Alax
ander Hamilton was fifteen and one
half ounces of pihr to one ounce of gold.
Thib ratio remained in force until 1534,
when the ratio was fixed at sixteen to
one. These ratios were lixed upen the
babis of the commercial failure of gold
and silver. It has. however, beeniinos
bible to keep gold aud oilver at an exact
parity. Ab bilver is the cheaper rnctal it
lias fluctuated more than gold although
tho prico of gold has fluctuated. From
1702 to 1S31 gold was at a premium of 2
or 3 ix.-r cent and the result was that wc
were practically, during that time, upon
n silver standard and gold flowed out of
the country; while from 1831 to 157J,
when silver was demonetized, silver was
fit n premium, nnd gold wastheHtandard,
nnd the result was that the silver Honed
out of the country.
