MIR. BURROWS FOR SPEAKER.

A Story That the Silverites and Populists
Will Vote for Him.
The free silver men have gone so far as to
select the candidate whom they hope to COM
bine upon to defeat Mr.. Crisp for the speaker
ship Of the House. As stated in yester-
days STAR, the effort in this line
comes from those who believe that the selec-
ton of Mr.. Crisp as Speaker will be detrimental
to the interests Of silver. They realize that
the vote alone Of tho silver men would not be
sufficient to displnce Mr.. Crisp and have
enlisted the populists in their cause. In their
endeavors to still further increase the chances
of their plans they looked about for a man
whom 1t WAS reasonable to believe would hold
the votes Of the republicans a. we'll, and have
chosen their candidate Representative Bur-
rows Of Michigan
The authority for this statement 10 Repre-
sentative Jerry Simpson of Kansas the popu-
list leader. He says that he thinks the chances
Of the silverites would be jeopardized by
placing Mr.. Crisp in the chair after
he has expressed himself so clearly
on the Sherman law. He thinks that Mr.. Bur-
rows is q strong able man, who would be un-
prejudiced and impartial, and one upon whom
all could combine.
Outside Of q few rabid silver men and Mr..
Simpson these suggestions are received with
little comment They are regarded as air cas-
ties that will surely vanish and consequently
give little concern.

F IMAM CIAl PLAN
Which Will Entirely Change the Present
Money System.
kedee ming the Different Forms Of Money
Now in Use-A New United States
Treasury Note.

While members Of Congress and leaders In
financial matters are discussing the various
plans by which the present situation
can be relieved, the officials Of the
Treasury Department are quietly prepar-
ing statistics and histories Of financial trans
actions for the benefit Of the administration to
guide it in its own views on this vital subject
In many Of the bureaus the chiefs are devoting
their spare time to the collection Of this infor-
nation. SO that it may be in the hands Of the
President and Secretary Carlisle at the earliest
possible moment
Several plans have been suggested to Sec
retary Carlisle and he has them under
consideration. Among them is one which will
create considerable Of q stir in financial
circles, as It contemplates an entire change
in the money system OF the United States.
In short, the plan is to pass q specie resump-
ton act redeeming all Of the various forms Of
money now used in this country and issuing
instead United States treasury note whose
value shall always be fixed.
FORMS OF MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
There are at present nine different forms of
money in circulation. These are gold
coin, standard silver dollars, subsidiary
SILVER, gOlQ ceruncoteb, buver cefun-
Gates, treasury notes from the act OF
July IA. 1890, United States notes, curren cy
certificates and national bank notes.
The fact Of the wide difference between the
values Of the gold and silver coins while they
are theoretically Of parity is one Of the causes
which suggested the plan proposed.
1t is not consistent, they say, and
not likely to insure confidence when
the United States has two dollars. one Of which
is worth q dollar and the other worth So cents.
Then, too, there is the treasury note Of 1880.
which is issued upon the deposit of
bullion, but which n redeemable
in coin. According to the decision
OF Secretary Carlisle coin in this case means
gold. and the real effect Of this is that gold is
simply exchanged for SO much silver.
REDEEMABLE IN COIN
As a remedy for this the plan under consid.
Grafton is TO redeem all the present currency
just as the fractional currency wasredeemed
by the Sherman act Of 1875, and in.
stead issue what shall be known as the
United States treasury note. It shall be
redeemable in "coin, >" but in the act the defini
ton Of this word Is to be plainly stated. The
Bank Of France has . law by which notes art
redeemed partially in gold and partially IL
silver, and such . method has been suggested
for this country.
In connection with this the advisability o
passing free coinage bill, the notes issued or
which shall be redeemable in silver alone, ha
been talked of.
