Treasurer of the United States Charles H. Treat addresses the condition of currency laws in the United States, and proposes several ideas to help the elasticity of currency and avoid panics and large fluctuations. While Treat does not say that any of the plans suggested in the speech are the best, he emphasizes that there should be a system across all banks to safeguard the value of United States bonds, and that the government should work to regulate tax rates on credit so that the taxes are not a burden to borrowers.
