A NEW FINANCIAL DANGER.

A "NoN-PARrrsAN" sCHEME-nARD-MONEY MEN
sEDUCED INTO ABANDONING RESUMPTION IN
1879
1t is now understood that number of the most
influential members of tho House, including some
leaders of each party and those who have taken an
independent stand in politics. have come to an under
standing the currency question, and are ready to
cooperate in securing the passage Of bill similar in
its provisions to that introduced by Mr. Morrison.
They take the ground that unless a compromise can
be effected between the two political parties, it will
be utterly impossible for Congress TO adopt any
rency measure.
The pivot upon which this non-partisan COM
promise turns is the repeal of that clause of the Re-
sumption act of 1875 by which the lst of January,
1879 Is named as the day when specie payments
shall begin. Nocurrency these gentlemen
agreed receive amaorty ofthe votes ofthe House
unless it contains this provision. The choice they
argue, lies between a continuance of the drifting
policy until 1877 and compromise by which the
country may set its face toward specie payments,
even though its progress in that direction may be
very slow. The hard-money men of the West
say that in fighting for the Resumption act they
take their political lives in their hands. Why, they
ask, SHOULD the hardmoney men of the East cling TO
empty promise of the Government when by con-
ceding the repeal of the Resumption clause to the
West and South they may secure other provisions
which would be effective in bringing about specie
payments I
AS the Government cannot redeem it dishonored
notes in gold, why not offer the next best thing-a
gold bond These arguments seem to have made
some impression upon the hard-money leaders OF the
East. Prominent Democrats from this city are con-
fident that four per cent bonds would be readily
taken at home and abroad They affirm that
there are from fifteen to twenty millions
of capital in this country that would be invested in
these bonds, and that in Europe, where business is
depressed and large of capital is unemployed,
they would readily be taken. The impression among
the leading Congressman Is that the amount OF
greenbacks to be refunded in any month
should be limited to about $3,O00,OOO, and
in this respect Mr.. MoTison's bill Will require
modification. While the sections of this bill i'll
relation to the volume of the currency and the re-
demption fund of the banks may be amended, it
begins to look dangerously probable that many
who are considered among tho sound
est hard-money men in Congress Will
support it as non-partisan compromise
measure, and at an early day it may be re-
ported by the Committee of Ways and Means for
discussion. III that event an attempt will be made
to keep partsanship entirely out of the discussion.
