Show Banks in different parts of the co.untry report that parties have call ed with sliver and bills, wanting to exchange for gold. The presumption' is that the gold is wanted for hoarding, hoard-ing, as in many instances noted the parties could have no real demand for the gold. This is a matter that the country will do well to frown down. Banks should refuse to make the exchange ex-change unless the party seeking it can show that the gold is needed for payment of obligations payable in that nvetal. The present is no time for hoarding gold, and persons guilty of so doing are worst of slackers. |
