RESUMPTION OF SPECE PAYMENTS SEN
ute Committee on Finance has reported an i'm
portant bill providing for the resumption Of
specie payments. The following is a correct
summary Of its provisions
First. Free banking 10 be open TO oil indi-
vduals and associations, without Limitation
10 capital.
Second. The ret ring of an amount of
greenbacks, equal 10 eight per cent. o! the
amount of new national notes issued until the
greenback circulation, shall be reduced 10
three hundred millions after which no further
reduction OF the greenbacks is 10 take place
1t IS claimed that by this provision there viii
be neither expansion nor contraction of the
currency, as about twenty per cent. is now
required as bank reserves.
Third. The withdrawal aud destruction Of
the fractional currency, and the substitution
OF silver coin, the arrangement to go into ef-
feet as soon as practicable under the direction
of the Secretary of the Treasury, who
is authorized to use the surplus mon
ey in the Treasury fo- suppl ing the
silver coin; fihis is not sufficient lie may
sell the requisite amount Of bonds Of the new
series to obtain the funds for that purpose.
Fourth. Removing The cost for coinage Of
gold AT the several minis.
Fifth. The resumption Of specie payments
eighteen hundred and seventy nine The Sec
rotary is authorized TO use the surplus specie
in the Treasury but, if that is not sufficient,
to sell bonds in order TO obtain gold to pay
the Treasury notes. But this last provision
does not, like the others, go into immediate
effect. The legal tender act remains undis-
turbed
The bill having been agreed to al
most unanimously by the caucus there
hoip tla
passage of the bill by the Senate
and il will, it is thought by the Senators, pass
the House Of Representatives BY respectable
majority In this case, no doubt is enter
tanned that it will receive the approval of the
President, and in accordance with his recent
recommendation TO Congress 1t is said that
so much of the fractional currency is mutt
lated, NJ least as much as per cent annually,
that silver can take It's place with no inconve-
nence 10 the public. The government is able
to purchase and coin silver at profit. and can
at early period effect the substitution.
