Correspondence of The Baltimore Patriot.
WASHINGTON, May 2G, 1887.
Kumors have been very rife for a few DAYS pas,
in little official and diplomatic Colony at tn
West End, respecting letter which has been re
fcciycd by "Gencral JACKsoN's SUCCESSOR from thu
author Of that Currency Bi which was carried Of
by the Hero in his brooches pocket to the Hermi
tage, to make the "gold and silver medium sure

further attempts TO maintain the Bentonian hum
bugs about gold and sily CT, and intmatcd plainly

nant nation. From some limitations in the Globe

net had come to the same conclusion, and are ma
king arrangements for another experiment to re-
dress the mischicfs that were produced by their
''Go!d and silver, pl,nntasics. The plan as there
indicated, is to convert the Government into
great modern corporation, and make Treasury
drafts and notes tho 'bcttcr currency Ina
short time this, their system, which is slyly
limited at, will be fully developed.
