Mr. Grcclcy's Financial scheme.

tary viii now lend a willing ear to the plan
Of funding our debt I'm bonds bearing an in

every Sl00) and convertible into greenbacks
ut the pleasure of the holder? If yon say,
They will not be taken, we answer, Let US
try! If only TO efface the just reproach
which attaches to our persistent refusal to
redeem the grcenbacks in anything what
ever, this plan should be tried. We have no
faith in any action by Congress tending to
make money Scarcer on the eve of presi-
dental election, but this plan would do
nothing OF the sort. Each greenback
funded would thereby he returned TO
the Treasury, 80 that it might bc
used forthwith to buy up outstand-
ing bouds. and thus restored TO circulation.
If Mr.. Boutwell, viii only turn his gold out
Of the Treasury by buying up bonds with it,
and then Keep it out. the disparity between
cold and grccnhacks can never again be

holders, pleasure in Il convertible bond Is

thereby reducing the annual burden oil
our debt from one hundred and twenty TO
less than eighty millions, could We not well
AFFORD to pay that six per cent?
or cu,,r<r there would be no immediate
conversion of our outstanding debt INTO
these IS l"i-l0D convertible bonds. But banks
which held them in excess of the lcgll re-
uuircmcnt would much prefer TO have each
million earn its 800 per day 10 nothing nj
all: and private bankers, savings banks, IN
slIraucc companies, DC. Ne, which are re-
uuircd to keep considerable sums within
casv reach. would rapidly follow suit. Very
soon The grain or pork-buycr, operating on Il
margin OF Sln0,00n, would say. Z" ] choose to

absolutely ccriata to give him back his
rrecnl,arks whenever he might choose to
cal! for them. Even the poor widow, with
barely one hundred dollars saved against Il
hard winter. would say. II choose 10 trust
the Government, which | know will pay me
on demand, rather than any savings bank,
which takes time whenever it secs fit, and
which may not pay at ALL Thus we he
