AN AMENDED FINANCIAL PLAN.
The Administration Begins to See Thai
Silver VIII Not Down

washington, Jan. 24-Details of the
amended financial plan. which Messrs.
Springer and Cox ana others of the
banking committee are discussing with
Secretary Carlisle. have been learned.
They had a long conference with the
secretary and are of the opinion that
the notifications to his plan will meet
his sanction. The most radical of the
new proposition for which Cox stands
sponsor is that for coinage of silver. 1t
contemplates the cancella alton of Sher-
man notes when received at the treas
ury and the issue of silver certificates
in denominations of 81, 81 and SO, or sill
Yer dollars, If the receivers prefer. To
back these silver certificates il is pro
posed to coin all bullion in the treas
ury, which. including $4,000, 900 seign-
forage. amounts to $751;. 900, 900 1t is
calculated that notmore than $40, 600 900
can be coined in a year. The changes
In the banking features of the plan pro-
vide that while the banks shall hold
the same reserve now required, one-half
shall be in legal tender greenbacks or
Sherman notes. Mr.. Cox explains that
this arrangement would relieve the
treasury of raids on the gold made pos
sible by the large volume of outstand-
ing notes, since it would dispose of $780,
0O0O of notes by using them to form
the basis of banking and 800, 000, 900
for reserves in banks. 1t is conceded
that it might be necessary to empower
the secretary to issue .9w rate bonds to
protect the treasury against large
Withdrawals of gold.
