NATIONAL FINANCES.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
WAsH1S0roN, Nov. 13.-Tho points in the
forthcoming report Of tho Secretary Of the
Treasury have been developed by repeated intor-
views with him, in tho main as followa: lie will
recommend that tho s44, ,000, 900 Of legal tender
reserves be mado : part Of tho permanent
currency. Whether ho recommended this
or not, It soems assured that it will DO
the frat aot whlch CongreHs will pass.
The Secretary says that whether he
go for imitation or contraction ho Will mike eno-
mics, but lie Is on good terms with himself, and
thinks ho has saved tho Treasury onco or twice
already. He will favor the convertible bond of
small denominations, beginning as low down
as s25, bearing one cent day interest,"
and convertible into greenbaoks at pleasure.
Tho old bonds Of higher donomina-
tiona will, Of courao, bo drawn in as
these smaller bonds are put out. Tho object Of
this scheme, as has boon after explained, is to
make working people. servants, and tho labor
ers, thrifty olasaeB. have an interest III tho
national securities. It is thought that this issue
Of small bonds Mill be favored by both contrac-
tiouiBts and expansionists. The most important
admission Of Alr. Richardson is that ho will
probably be borrower Of gold aud
groenbaoIs within three months to pay
the current expenses Of the Government, and
the interest on the public debt. 1nterrogatod on
this head, ho said that there WAS no way for the
Government but to 50 into the open market aud
buy lko any other purchaser. The REASONS for
thia policy are the falling Of customs duties aud
internal revenue receipts. By this policy the
bonded warehouses arc filled with goods
which importers cannot pay duties upon

His great literary powers have been steadily

For these reasons it is that we propose te
