before the House of Repreeentatives- Attenllon was directed to the subject by J Harses Rhoades chairman of the chambers committee ea baaking and cur- rency He prefaced his resolutions with a report which dealt exhaustively with the subject of the coinage and circulation of gold and silver Maintenance of Parity He explained that while Congress on March 14 1910 declared for the geld standard and made the geld dollar the standard unit of value it did not aside from providing for the redemption of United States notes in gold prescribe any method by which parity with silver should be maintained It was the purpose of the present Iegis- latien to remedy this defect and at the same time provide an outlet for the volume of subsidiary coin in circulation to meet the needs of commerce Good Use for Idle Silver in the judgment of your committee said Mr Rhoades no wiser use can he made of the Mock of bullion on had than to turn It Into the subsidiary coinage as needed giving the Secretary of the Treas- ury a free hand fa reducing from time to time the volume of silver eertigatee or silver dollars sow in circulation or lying idle is the vaults of the Treasury Itseems to your oomidttee that It

now exists hile the enormous increase in our stock of gold which will Mainlenance of Pari1C- ongrete is urged to take fav- orable aetion out the lull mow be- fore the house providing for the actual Parity between the legall lender silver dollar and gold mad to increase the subsidiary silver coinage Parity is now maintain- ed urges the New York Chamber of Commerce only by the abiding faith of the people The Iasutl- eieney of the act of March 14 iIOfl- is pointed out probably continue will he adding an am- ple geld reserve to efset the issue of silver eelnage But the vital essence of the bill In- questioa is to make the legal tender silver dollars remaining outstanding exchange- able rt all times into gold when presented in seine of 6 or multiples thereof Exchangeable With Gold If the act of March 14 1910 really means what it says that the standard dollar of issue shall be the gold dollar then every dollar issued ether then gold should be exchangeable into gold for the maintenance of parity as the House com- mittee truly says Is not only a moral obligation resting upon the nation but it- is one which the Government cannot evade far whether exchangeable or not they must be accepted by the Treasury for all Government dues is lieu of geld Maintained by Faith In our judgment nothing now prevents silver dollars from going to a discount ox- eept the abiding faith of the people that the Government will at all times keep them worth their face value in geld and it it is the Intention of the Government le do this as is presumably the ease then why should not the Government prove Its Intention by its act and by de- claring sliver dollars exchangeable In gold at the will of the holder forever end all doubt even if the strain upon the gold reserve proves too great and a larger re- serve Is needed Even new it the strain does come and come it will gold must be bought to maintain the parity or the parity will cease to exist COURT COSTUME TOO MUCH ExGevernor Hehg Balked at Knee

    Itseems to your oomidttee that It kthe part of good judgment and wise proendure having on hand a large and herdensome stock of silver bullion to utilizeit is suck form as will keep It in rirce-latoa either in cola or small bills rep-resented by hellion deposited for in thisway at least it an be made of some useand through small coinage the risk of Itsreturn to the Treasury irl volume at ua-aeaeoaable and perilous periods is largelyreduced
