Boutwell and Greeley on Gold and Circulation
The piece contrasts Secretary Boutwell’s policy to keep 130 million in gold in the Treasury with Mr. Greeley’s call to release the surplus for circulation. It argues Greeley’s plan could ease money matters and spur resumption of specie payments once gold reenters circulation. It notes questions about the secretary’s reasoning and references a political rumor thread. It also reports Postmaster General Creswell facing a circulation stop in subscription lists to aid Grant’s election and possible disclosures if the petition is not halted.
