1662 - L July 2; ed:2/2 - The first result of Secretary Chase's res-
ignation was to produce unsettled financial feeling. Increased gold
and produce indicates the markets are affected. Senator Fessenden -
succeeds Chase, and enjoys the reputation of financial ability which
will do a great deal to restore public faith. Congress and the coun-
try should give Fessenden undivided support. - - (7)

1665 - L July 13:2/4 - Secretary Fessenden's appeal for a loan to con-
tinue the war and to avoid having our finance involved, should be ap-
proved by the people of the nation. If people refuse to loan the
government their money, it must issue currency which will depreciate
in proportion to the amount issued. -

tions, collecting your dues, and lending every possible dollar to
your country." - (6)

1667 - L. July 27; ed:2/1 - Secretary Fessenden proposes a new loan
of two hundred million in treasury notes, to be issued in denominations
from $50 to $5000, and in blanks or payable to order, as may be ordered
by the subscriber, and to bear interest, which will be more valuable
than greenbacks. . . . . . .
"It is the duty of all citizens to take an interest in this new loan.
There can be no better investment of money than an investment which,
while yielding a liberal profit to the holder, enables the government to
meet its expenses and reduces the price of all the necessaries of life."

1668 - L. July 29; ed:2/2 - The new loan for $200,000,000 called by
Secretary Fessenden, is one of great importance and should be supported
by the people if the war is to be carried to a triumphant success. If
people will support the government, prices of articles may be reduced,
the value of government bonds increased, and the finances of the
nation be placed on a basis as sound as any in the world.
"If peace shall come within the coming year, as we ardently hope,
these bonds will be worth their full face in gold...." (9)
