A FINANCIAL SUGGESTION.
FOR OF THE HERALD:-

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In view OF the speculative hold that the gold gam.
bers have upon merchants who are obliged to buy
gold for the payment of duties, a remedy has been
suggested which wish could receive some attention
from you. The simple plan Is for the government to
loan merchants gold tor duties only upon the
hypothecation Of government bonds with a far
margin and at seven per cent interest payable on
call. BY this plan the government would receive
interest the millions now lying idle In the Treas
ury, tue merchant could buy his gold at his conve-
nience, aud at the market price, and the brokers
would DC unable to AFFECT mercantile Circles

possession and other information il is known
that his relatives live IN or near ptins:ile
Ohio and that he was a widower with
two OF more children. 1t was aseertained
h. the .sr'S jury that the deceased had
been IN the habit of taking morphine for
some nervaus disease and that the same
