WOULD RETIRE GREENBACKS.

Secretary of the Treasury Declares His Policy in a New York Speech. The address by Mr. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, at the annual dinner of the New York Chamber of Commerce was a plea for the retirement of the legal tenders. He took the ground that no change made in our currency system will afford relief unless it provides for this retirement, as the circulation of the legal tenders has a tendency to drive out of use and out of the country the very gold in which the Government is compelled to redeem them. His exact language was this: “No change that can be made in our currency system will afford the relief to which the Government and the people are entitled unless it provides for the retirement and cancellation of the legal tender United States notes. Anything less than this will be simply a palliative and not a cure for the financial ills to which the c.ountry is now subject.” He added that “no other Government in the world is required to supply gold from its treasury to discharge the private obligations of its citizens.” Notes of Current Events.
