ADVICE TO CARLISLE.
How Ex-senator EarEelI Would Fix
Up Our Finances.


Up Our Finances.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Ex-Senator
Farwell of Chicago has addressed let
ter to Secretary Carlisle, suggesting
some remedies for the present financial
difficulties. Mr.. Farweil says:
''In the first place, I would provide
for the funding and refundingof all the
national debt, including bonds, green
backs, silver certificates and treasury
notes into bonds running 100 years, and
Bearing Per Cent Interest,
which would authorize the national
banks to use these new bonds at par as
a basis for their issues They would
all take these bonds at par. would
recommend the repeal of the sub-treas-
ury act. This act was considered in
haste, and has never been Of any bene-
fit to anybody. The government, by
continuing to use the sub-treasuries,
discredits and shows no confidence in
the national banks which it has created
and which it suEervises, and its exam
pie is followed by timid people in with
drawing their money from national and
other banks and in placing it in safety
deposit vaults, thereby adding to the
intensity Of the present panic,
Deposit In National Banks.
The secretary Of the treasury should
be authorized upon the repeal of this
act to direct his collectors to deposit
the revenue of the country in the ma
tional banks selected by him at the
points where these revenues are col
lected. This would do away with any
expense Of keeping up the different SUBJ
treasures of the country. which is
probably not less than $500, coo a year.
On the subject of silver,I suggest that
the ratio be changed SO as to bring the
value Of the metals to parity with each
other, rather than silver free coinage,
and provide that silver shall be q legal
tender as long as the parity continues,
and when it ceases then it should be a
legal tender for only limited amount" /"

upon the conquests of the coming con-
test, the porticres were suddenly drawn
aside revealing bride and groom and the

words which made them man and wife,
