RESTNPTION.


There are are various plans afoot at Wash
ington for the resumption Of specie payment.
but not so many as were preached year ago.
1t is thought that nothing will be done how
the fabrication of any more greenbacks and
fractional currency, then to retire gradually
the fractional currency so as to get rid OF 1t
within year, and to commence at once re-
tanning in the Treasury the gold interest due
the banks on the bonds deposited as security
for their circulation, in order to make a gold
reserve for them to resume upon. The actual
resumption by both the Government and the
banks he would have take place some time in
1872. Senator Cole would have greenbacks
receivable at par for all duties on imports
after June so, lc7l, which, he thinks, would
make them worth as much as gold, and make
resumption mere matter OF FORM This
plan, in modified form, in proposed by Mr..
Ingersoll in the House, and is understood to
have Gen. Schencks Endorsement. The
House idea is to begin by receiving one-tenth
of customs dues in greenbacks, and to in
crease the amount from month to month; and
the same idea was fore Swallowed by Senator
Trumbull in a speech last Fall
Senator Sherman, Chairman of the Finance
Committee, objects to all propositions for d.
minishing the gold revenue of the Govern
ment, as violation of the loan laws, which
pledged the receipts from customs for the
payment of the principal and interest of the
public debt. If deprived of its certain gold
revenue from duties on imports, he thinks
the Government might find itself compelled
to buy gold, in which case its credit would be
seriously impaired. Gen. Garfield believes
that larger share of the burden of re-
sumption should be shifted from the Treas
ury to the national banks, as q preliminary
step There are now 800, 900, 900 of green
back circulation and about S3,000,0 900 OF
bank circulation. lie would gradually ex-
tend the banking system and contract the
greenback currency by canceling every
month a certain amount of the latteer and
issuing an equal amount Of bank paper, pro-
NluinP thcfe shouiu NC Il ueinanu ior IL, anu 10
keep up the process until the Government
gets entirely out of the business ct banking
the redemption of the greenbacks to take
place upon gradual scale, increasing one
per cent. a month until they are brought up
to par. Senator Summers plan of creating a
gold hoard for the banks, Gen. Garfield
would have put in operation at the same
time.
