what New York Bankers Ought to Do
to Aid the Treasury.
NEW York, May 4.-From member
of one of the leading banking firms of
the city synopsis of plan attributed
to Secretary Carlisle, to protect the gold
reserve, was obtained today. The banker
from whom the information was OBJ
tanned said:
"The plan would be for the banks TO
pay out to the customers and in part
settlement Of their balances the article
which they now hoard-gold-which does
not involve involuntary boarding of
greenbacks by the treasurer and thus
put in active movement the larger part
of their present reserves"
Would it not be we'll for the banks"
said the banker, to meet and take this
suggestion into serious considerations,
and thus putting their hoards OF gold at
the service of the community? They
would save losses caused by continual
stripgency to the mercantile com
munity and relieve the pressure
OF continued sales at the stock ex-
change, which latter help, however, is
wholly subordinate to the help thus af-
forded to the merchants of the whole
country by adopting this plan"
