A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Then oifer immediately for the $lljOOO jOOO, and saythat Treasury Notes will be issued after the 30 days required shall expire. Meantime let systematic and thorough appeal be made throughout the Union States, and subscriptions taken up in every town by Post Masters, or other officials, for Treasury Notes $50 and upwards. Let newspapers explain and commend the security. At the end of 30 days this should be completed. Pay out for public dues and contracts all those not taken. These Notes will at once begin to flow to New York for sale. It is important that that market be free to take them, and not overstocked by other issues, so that they may have currency. New York Banks should take the Stock ($ 9,000,000) at rates which will admit their re-selling it without loss. They thus become distributors of Government securities as hitherto, and should be kept as a resource for emergencies and new loans, and also to prevent depreciation of Treasury Notes coming to this market. Should they fill up with Treasury Notes at first, the Secretary has no resource hereafter. Bank officers (being Trustees) have no power or right to take Government Loans or Stock at rates materially above the market. All such excess would be an unauthorised use of power.
