ANOTHER PLAN.
Secretary Carlisle Considsrius . New
Currency Scheme.

Secretary Carlisle Considering . New
Currency Scheme.
The Washington Star says:
Several plans have been suggested to Bee
Rotary Carlisle and he has them under con-
sideration. Among them 10 one which will
create considerable of stir In financial cir
Giles, o. 1t contemplates an entire change 10
the money system Of the United States. In
short, the plan Is to pas specie resumption
act redeeming all Of the various forms OF
money now used In this country aud Issuing
instead the United States treasury note whose
value shall always be fixed. There arc Mt
present, nine different forms Of money In cir.
culatloh. These are gold coin, standard sil-
yer dollaro, subsidiary silver, gold certificates,
silver certificates, treasury notes Of tho act Of
July IA, 1890, United States notes, currency
certificates and national bank notes.
"Thc fact Of the wide difference between
dhc value of gold and silver coins, while they
arc theoretically Of . parity Is ono Of the
causes which suggested the plan proposed.
The plan under consideration is to redeem all
the present paper currency just as the frac-
tional currency was redeemed by the Sherman
act OF 1875, and Instead Issue what shall be
known as the United States treasury note. II
shall be redeemable In 'coin,' but In the act
the definition Of the word is TO be plainly
stated. The Bank Of France has n law by
which notes arc redeemed partially In gold
and partially In silver, and such method
has been suggested for this country.
"In connection with this the advsabilty
OF passing bill authorizing an Issue Of
notes redeemable In silver alone has been
talked Of"

THEY CAN'T REPEAL,
Certainty that the sherman Lav

be Wiped Out. g'''s
General Warner has made the following
statement:
"a thorough poll OF the silver forces cstab-
fishes the fact that tho Sherman law cannot
be repealed without substitute which will be
satisfactory to the silver mon.
"This canvass Of strength has been In prog
fess since tho day after the Issuance Of the
Presidenps proclamation. It has been pushed
actively by means Of personal consultation,
mail and telegraphic communication. When
tho canvass was begun the hrst effect 6f the
anti-silver blow wns still felt, and there was =
manifest fear that the Sherman law would b
repealed. Gradually this fear gave way to
hope. and In turn this has been supplantcd
by Defiance" .-l
This statement Of General Wartcr reflects
the sentiments Of the free silver men, aud
there can be no doubt that within the past
twenty-four hours they have gained renewed
confidence In the belief that the Sherman act
cannot be repealed without giving the silver
ties something equally rs good, or better.
This hope Is in the Senate, and the reasons
for their faith they express ~ follows:
In that body arc men who represent the
very life, or death. of thu white metal: uen
who arc able and earnest. md thew boldly an.
