Treasury Notes to be Retired and Canceled
The annual report of the secretary of the treasury urges retirement of circulating notes to end the public burden of gold hoarding. Carlisle argues the treasury should not issue private currency and that notes must be withdrawn to prevent misuse. He cites better revenue, reform of taxation, and avoiding partisan influence as essential to stabilize the currency and finance. The piece also notes related items in Chicago and Cincinnati including a football win and a domestic tragedy.
