FOSTER coNsuLrs SHERMAN.


MANSFIELD, o., Aug l5.-The condition
of Uncle Sans treasury occupied the at
tention OF Secretary Foster and Senator
Sherman at conference here When
Charles Foster proposed the scheme OF
continuing the as per cent. bonds at per
cent the banks were generally willing To
accept his proposition, but the people who
had the ~ per cents were not, and, after
several weeks OF trial, only little over
Sis.00O000 out Of S5i 900 900 were continued
under the scheme OF the secretary He
was not particularly content with this
showing, and came here TO see Senator
Sherman. The conference lasted Eve hours
Secretary Foster put some very interest
ing questions to Senator Sherman, which
very soon demonstrated that the ex-secre-
tary did not agree with the present one
about continuing the A. X per cents. Secre.
tary Foster took no pains to conceal the
fact that his idea in endeayoring TO oon-
tinue the s5I, 900 OF AZ per cents at .
per cent. was to use the money ia other
directions for the relief Of trade He
thought that the stringency Of the market
could be prevented II the project could be
carried into effect
Senator Sherman did not share the sec
retary's views upon the subject He
thought that Secretary Foster should pay
the ~ per cents. The secretary's position
was that the money already in the treas
ury, with what could be spared from the
sinking fund and what accrued In the
meantime, would be sufficient 20 pay or
the bonds when due
Senator Sherman explained that the
month Of July, the first one in the new
fiscal year, had been passed in safety, aud
that now gold would return 20 this coun-
try, and that the movements OF the splen-
did crops and the payment Of new reye-
nues would make thiRgs easy.
Thus the bonds could be paid or retired
without difficulty or danger The ques-
tion Of what effect the retirement Of these
securities that have been held by the
national banks as a deposit for circulation
would have on the banking system was
naturally one Of the features o. the dis.
cussion. Senator sherman did not think
it would have any Injurious result,
