Mr.. Buckner. chairman of the Ban king and Cur
rency Committee intends to introduce tomorrow a
bill to prevent the locking up of god his object being
to defcat conspiracy reported to exist in Wall street
for the locking up of gold by spectators soon as
resumption is begun by the Treasury. Mr.. Buckner
says he is friend of the Resumption act. but he
thinks the ought to have fair play and hence
he intends to prevent anything like obstruction
mischief by unscrupulous spectators or gold gam
blers. 1t will be remembered that in the days of the
Erie ring Wall street clique in the habit of
locking up greenbacks whenever it suited their
plans to make money stringent and induce fall in
stocks. To checkmate this game Congress passed a
law making il misdemeanor to lend money on the
collateral security of greenbacks national bank
notes. and the locking up scheme was killed 1t Is
reported that this law applies only to paper
money the game could be played by locking
up gold and that a combination of specu-
lators has been organized lock up gold.
and by borrowing greenbacks on it and
presenting these greenbacks in turn to the
Treasury for redemption. and repeating the process
indefinitely, to drain the Treasury of it's gold and
make demoralizing effect upon the national credit
and upon trade and business in general. Taking the
from these reports. Mr.. Buckner proposes to
amend the act referred TO in such to in
clude gold and silver coin and certificates among the
forms Of money which it will be unlawful to employ
receive collateral for loans of money credit
He hopes to put the bill upon its final passage imme-
dately and to ask the earliest attention Of the Senate

Of January.

FALSE APPRAIsRMENT OF IMPORTED GOODS
HOW THE GOVERNMENT IS DEFRAUDED.
The Department Of State at the request Of the Sec
retary Of the Treasury, some time ago addressed
circular to the Consular officers Of the United States
in Great Britain. France, Switzerland, Belgium,
Italy, Austria and Germany, showing the desirability
Of supplying the appraisers Of the principal custom
houses in the United States promptly and regularly
with trustworthy information respecting the prices
OF the productions of their several districts.
1t is stated that Of classes Of staple goods no
sales made in foreign markets to merchants in
this country but that all such goods consigned
by the foreign manufacturers to their agents in the
United States for SALE and that in such where
the goods pay ad valorem duty it is believed to be
the practice to invoice them below the true market
value abroad. This mode Of consignment. instead Of
actual sale, is reported to be increasing an
nually, and the revenue is defrauded of large
sums by manufacturers, who thus escape the pay
ment Of the lawful duties and at the same time inct
serious injury upon American industries In the
Of staple goods. such as black silks, ribbons
velvcts. gloves. woollens, &c, statements re-
quired to be made giving full information respecting
the value Of Materials the cost of labor and the
whole cost Of manufacture.
