The Carlisle Currency Plan.

A full discussion Of the new plan
for the issue of bank currency pro-
posed by Secretary Carlisle would be
premature before the appearance of
the report in which it is elaborated.
AS outlined in the message of the
President, it presents some points in
common with the famous Baltimore
plan recommended by the American
Bankers Association, with very
marked differences in other respects.
Some of the prominent features
that the two plans have in common
are these:
1. That the deposit of bonds as a
security for circulation shall no longer
be required.
2. That banks be permitted to
Issue notes equal to IS per cent. of
their paid up, unimpaired capital.
Under the Baltimore plan, % per
cent. of this is TO be subjected to an
extra tax, so as to make it an "emer-
gency circulation, TO be retired when
the emergency is past.
8. That tax of one-half OF l
per cent. per annum be levied on the
circulation out Of which to pay ex-
penses of printing notes, etc.
4. That the notes be issued to the
banks by the Treasury Department.
S. That fund of 5 per cent. of
total circulation be paid by the banks
into the Treasury for the immediate
redemption of the circulating notes
Of banks that fail. This is called a
"guarantee fund.- in the Baltimore
plan and safety fund.- by Mr..
Carlisle. The guarantee fund" Of
Mr.. Carlisle plan has no counter
part in that adopted at Baltimore. 1t
is Important not to confound these
E! two "guarantee funds"
These features Of the Baltimore
| plan adopted by Mr.. Carlisle are es-
entially modified by other provisions.
The great point of divergence is in
the guarantee fund" which is to
consist of greenbacks or Treasury
notes Of 1890, equal to 80 per cent
of circulation. This provision. Of
course, has dou1e purpose. It aft
ords much better security to the Gov
eminent than the Baltimore plan,
which is important, and it affords an.
other use for the greenbacks than
drawing gold out Of the treasury, for
(which they are now largely employed.
Elasticity Of the currency is to be Sc
cured by allowing the banks on re-
firing any part Of their notes to with
draw ratable amount of the green
backs deposited.
Another striking point of difference
lis with reference to the redemption
| of the bank notes.. The Baltimore
plan would throw this burden wholly
on the Government. Itproposes that
the redemption ofsthe notes of solvent
banks be made as now provided by
law, while the notes of insolvent
banks are to be redeemed out Of the
guarantee fund if sufficient, and if
mot, out of any money in the Treas
|ury.--C Courier Journal.

Just after the close Of the war our

elected Mr.. Barbour to Congress, but
the Radicals would not admit him to
seat. Some years later he was elect:
ed to the Virginia House Of Delegates.
He was devoted friend Of the Uni
versity of Virginia, and was for
many years prominent in the State
Agricultural Society.
His orations and public addresses,
of which there were many, were
marked by accurate scholarship, great
enthusiasm for the. cause which he es-
poused, and eloquence of a very high
order. Withal he was a Christian
and was prominent and useful in
Church work. There will be many
to mourn him.-Richmond Dispatch.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
POST Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Dec. }, 1894.

The greater the number of Sena-
tors and Representatives with whom
you talk the more apparent becomes
the fact that finance is the all absorb
ing question Of the hour, and also
that those is next to no hope that
anything of any Importance in that
line can be accomplished at this ses-
sion, owing to the existing difference
es Of opinion as to what should be
done. Although President Cleve-
land endorses in his annual message
to Congress Secretary Carlisle's
scheme for financial reform. neither
of them have the slightest idea that
it will be accepted as whole by Con-
gress. The most either Of, them hope
for, according to my information, is
that some sort Of a financial measure
may be agreed upon which will en-
brace some of the feature recommend
ed by Secretary Carlisle. En- this
connection it may be stated that a
movement is on among conservative
men in all the parties, having for It's
object some sort Of a compromise II
nancial measure that viii be support,

Senate; that viii make it impossible

same time secure the President sig

THE PRESS.

ClSclSSArr Posr: The treaty re-
Gently signed in Washington by Sec
rotary Gresham Minister Kurino, and
which in APPLICABILITY the senate will
ratify, places Japan in the family of
civilized nations. This compact pro-
vides for the abolition in Japan Of the
American consular courts, which are
maintained only in semi-barbarous
counties, and comedies to Japan the
same jurisdiction over the persons and
property of American residents in
that country that the. United States
Government exercises over japanese
residents within it's borders. 1t is
undeniable that the japanese have
since their struggle with the Chinese
began shown that in war as we'll as
in peace they are worthy of being
ranked with the civilized nations of
the world.
COURIER JOURNAL: Canada recent
ly negotiated a loan of $12,250,0o0
for public improvements The bonds
were 3 per cents, and the average
price realized was 50. The loan was
subscribed nearly four times over.
The United States placed a $4,000
900 loan at 2 7-8 per cent. rate and
few days later the demand for these
securities was so great that the;syndi-
cate which took them at liz had
sold $8,O00,000 for a profit of nearly
$4,000. At this rate the syndicate
will clear about $1,060,00O on the
issue.
There is such vast amount of
money seeking investment that the
successful placing Of these loans
should surprise no one. Government
bonds are convertible into cash at al
most a moments notice should there
come an opportunity for better in
vestment, but the rate of interest is
declining SO rapidly that the invest
ors are likely to hold on until obliged
to part with them.
ABINGDON ViRGINIAN:: There is al
effort made in certain quarters tt
lhave the Governor convene the Legis
ature in extra session this winter
The pretext for it is to have the con
stitutional amendment, recently be
fore the people, put in operation. IL
convene the Legislature would cost
the State from 100000 to $4,000
before it could be Adjourned Nc
great emergency exists, such as alone
warrants the expense of reassembline
this body, and we ale pleased to note
that the Governor himslf does not
approve of this idea.
CIScIxNATlPosT: ThePennsylvania
Railroad Company has constructed a
locomotive which it is claimed will
travel at the enormous speed at LOU
miles an hour, with steam as the pro
polling power. Contrasting the i'm
| provements made in ocean and rail
transportation, with reference special
ly to the question Of comparative
speed, it must be admitted that the
formers record is little the better.
| With the 100 miles an hour locomo,
however, all comparisons cease.

Dispute About Indian Rights.

The Supreme Court has under consdcra-
ton a case involving the interest of the
Delaware Indians to the morey arising
from the sale of the lands lying west of the
ninety-siXtn degree of longitude, recently
sold to the United States by the Cnerokees.
The present case Is that Of the Cherokee
nation VS.. the principal chief Of the Della
wares, Charles Jones Neyeoki by name 1t
Is nominally for q certain pro rata proper
ton Of the proceeds from certain grazing
lands claimed to be due the Delawares from
the Cherokees, but the adjudication of this
point will determine one way or the other
the validity of the claims of the Delawares
to an int crest in the proceeds of those west
ern lands. If the case should be decided
fayorably to the DelaWares, 1t is claimed
by their attorneys, that such decision
would make clear their right TO one-iifth
of the proceeds of the sale of the Cherokee
lands. amounting to $1,G60,OOO, which has
been withheld from Judgment to the Chero-
KEGS pending the determination of the Della
ware claim. The claim has been argued in
the Supreme Court and the decision may be
expected within the next few weeks.
