ANOTHER FINANCIAL DocToR.- Washing
ION, Nav I9.-R. w. Howe, a banker of
Aew York, is here with q new plan for the
funding of the national debt, and preparing
the country for u resumption of specie pay
mrntS. He has been before the Secretary
OF the Treasury, and to-day explained his
plan to the Committee Of Ways and Means.
The main features are as follows: lie asks
congress to pass bill authorizing tho issue
.of tea wear bonds, with the option OH the
pnrl OF the Government of fifty years, at
iour per cent, gold payable in the United
States. and not elsewhere, free from all
faxes; to be sold at not loss than par in
.,oil. or any.ot the present indebtedness OF
:l,n Government will be received In pay
mrnt ut par and interest these bonds to
he issued for the purpose of payment OF the
present indebtedness OF lhe government,
Ind for no other. The Sccfetary Is author
;zed 10 receive deposits in gold ~ all the
.;spo3tsries Of the United States ut
rate of ,nle.ast not exceeding three
yer ccntum. iu Kind, and to discontinue
the sales of gold and purGhasa OF bonds, TO
commence the payment III gold at l,a., ana
interest of the first issues of the nre-tW6nty
bonds, taking them in rotation Us issued,
ap,, 10 give timely notice Of such payments
aud tbs amounts, and request the holders
90 preseni tAG sSpc for payment, and when
the interest OH the samc will cease. The
bill does not in any way intsrfere with the
national bank currency or the legal tenders:
It neither contracts nor expands, but SIM
plv provides for the payment Of the debt,
and borrow the money ut two per cent less
shan Is now paid. 1t does not compel any
national back or individual here or else
where to surrender any right or privilege.
II treats all, foreigners and .&Aer!cans,
alike. Mr.. Howe thinks it will bring into
circulation and use all the idle gold from its
i,;ling places, and reduce the premium from
time 10 time until all will disappear, and
that the new four per cent. loan will be
sought after at Preniun.- Washington
