SECRETARY SHERMAN is to put in
practice at once the conclusion the
Cabinet came to upon providing for
: popular loan t. The people Of the
country in the f1rtherancc of fund
Ing the'national debt In 4 per cents.
Under the arrangement made with
the syndicate the Secretary was au-
thorized to terminate his contract
with them at any time by giving
ten days notice. We understand
such notice has been given and that
the contract will terminate on the 10th
inst. The Secretary prepared bill
which is intended to be laid before
Congress for passage. The later
Ocean special says: s.t 81
"The Secretary's scheme for putting
the 4 per cent bonds on popular sale
meets with general approval among
Congressman, and several bills. have
already been introduced to provide
the necessary legislation to carry it
into effect. These bills authorize
him to issue certificates of deposits
through postmasters, and to issue
bonds of the denominations of $40,
$15, and &25, but do not fully convey
his ideas, however. As stated, Secre-
tsrv sherman has prepared . similar
one, which will be introduced short.

The Hon. Hiram Price, of Iowa
has made move in the same direc
ton. His bill embodies the follow
ing:l a. Mes 70 sg..f~ v -
ut authorizes the Secretary of tn,

posit of the United States of the de-
nominations of $40, $40, $50 and $10(

per annum. Certificates thus issued

postmaster or any postal money -ordeI
Office OF the United States, on condi
ton that oil such certificates SO depos
tied shall be paid for by such desig
mated depository or postmaster with
in ninety days from the time of max
ing such deposit in coin or its equiva
lent, or the return of such certificates
or any part thereof to the Secretary
of the Treasury, and that certificates
issued as aforesaid shall be redeemed
only in United States 4 per cent
bonds, and the holder thereof shall
be authorized to receive from the Sec.
rotary of the Treasury United States

per cent. per annum when presented
at the United States Treasury or any
designated depository, in sums of SIC
or any multiple thereof, said bonds
4 being payable, principal and interest

The bill further provides that all N.
tional banks organized and doing
business under the national banking
law of the United States are required
to receive at4par and accrued interest
all such certificates in payment of any
debt due to said bank Provided
however, that no interest shall be al
lowed unless the same shall amount
to so cents or upward. 1t further au
thorizes any national bank doing

banking law to hold at its option
two-thirds of the reserve now requir'
