Final Blow for Greenbacks Redeemed in Gold Plan
The Republican sub committee reported a banking and currency bill to retire the greenbacks by substituting legal tender notes backed by gold. It creates national reserve notes, divides issue and redemption, imposes bank duties, and limits coinage while tying parity to a gold redemption fund. The measure seeks to strengthen public credit and shift the debt burden to banks.

Reserve Notes and Bank Burden in Treasury Plan
The proposed bill would convert most present legal tender notes into reserve notes redefined at the Treasury with limited redemption in gold. If only a few are absorbed, they gain gold certificate like value as they are cancelled on redemption. The national banks would bear the burden of supplying gold through adjusted interest and circulation to attract gold exports, avoiding treasury alarm.
