Policy outline: retire greenbacks and reform currency
A World special from New York reports Lyman J. Gage’s written answers on treasury policy. He urges permanent retirement of greenbacks, gradual sale of Sherman act silver, and redemption of treasury notes.

He argues reform requires simplification, rejects warehousing gold or silver by the government, and calls for a national commission to illuminate issues and guide legislation.
