These banks claim that while such certificates aro paid to them, the New York banks are not pald any portion of their balances in ml- ver certificates by the acsistant treacurer at New York City, and that they are not tender- od New York banks, bicause of that apree- ment on th ir part, not to acoept these certifi- cates. This is he'd by outside bauks to be vot ooly anunfa'r discrimination against silver cortificates but an equally unfair discrimina. tion sgatnet them, which results in loss inconvenience, as they are at times compelled to sell the silver certificates at a discount in order to obtain funds that will be accepted by the New York banks in eettling debt or balances with the latter. The treasurer therofore nxwastvd the direct sistant treasurer at New York fb pay the banks in that city the same forms of money and in liks proportions that are paid the banks by assistant treasurers in other cities. Treasurer Wyman referred the 'matter to Secretary McUullough with a long letter in which he recommends that after a certain dste, of which notice sha)l be ziven, at least twenty-five per cont of the payments made by thoe sssistant treasurer at New York to the clearing house assoc tlement of balances shall be silver certificates or silver dollars the certificates are refused.
