Secretary Carlisle Urges Retiring Greenbacks and Budget Reform
Secretary Carlisle reports to Congress with a plan to retire greenbacks and extend the national bank system. He says revenues for the current year total 431,907,407 with expenditures at 408,907,407, yielding a deficit and argues for reducing spending rather than raising taxes. He warns that currency laws, confidence abroad, and gold obligations hinder recovery and favors bonds payable in gold as a temporary fix. He notes administrative and international matters including the Monroe doctrine note to Britain and the Chesire sea awards, plus civil service and tariff discussions in Congress.
