4 HELP TO RESUMPTION.

AIT scIIp1CuER has 4 Plan WHICH BOTH HARD
AND PAPER MONEY MEN CAN SUPPORT.
Icy TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNc
WASHINGTON jan 14.-RtprescntativeS chleicher
of Texas. introduced an important joint resolution
in the House to-day for the purpose of facilitating
the resumption of specie payments.
Mr. Scheicher is one of the few Southern Repre-
sentatives who honestly believe iii sound financial
principles and is opposed to all schemes for the ill.,
reduction OF perpetuation Of cheap currency,
whether it be of silver OF paper. Antici-
Mating that il viii be important for the Government
10 strengthen itself in every possible way in
order TO carry ont tho provisions of the Resumption
Act he proposes to utilize the proceeds of the bonds
purchased during Secretary Boutwells adminstra-
ton of the Treasury Department, III excess OF the
amount required for the sinking fund, for the pur-
poses Of redemption. His plan is to credit 10 the
sinking fund in advance the entire amount of these
surplus purchases of bonds. of which the principal
is upwards of 81 so 900 000 and the accrued interest
about SOC, GOO co., and thus temporarily to relieve
the Government of the necessity of providing about
100000 a year for the maintenance of the
sinking fund. The surplus revenue thus obtained
he would appropriate TO the redemption OF OatStid-
ing legal-tenders.
THIS propositions he thinks, ought to receive the
united support of those who III favor OF the exc
cut!On of the Resumption Act and OF those WHO are
opposed 70 it. Those who are in favor OF Its eXecu-
ton be expects to vote for his resolution because its
adoption would make resumption OF specie payments
easier. Those who opposed 10 resumption Ought
to be convinced by this time that it viii be lmpOs-
sible to repeal the Act providing for the redemption
of United States notes in coin on tic LIST OF January
next, and ought therefore to favor any measure
which viii Tighten the burdens imposed upon tle
country by that Act.
