Crisp and Bsiiey's Plan

Washington, Dec. PA plan has
been drafted by ex-Speaker Crisp and
Bailey of Texas which will be offered
as a substitute for the republican meas
ures to be presented Thursday. 1t Is
based on the old bill for the coinage of
the silver seigniorage. which was pass
ed by the last congress and vetoed by
the president. but to this bin. modified.
will be added feature for the redemp-
tion of greenbacks. The principal
change In the seigniorage bill will be
the omission of that part which rem
dered available seigniorage before II
had been coined by the use of silver
certificates based upon IL. The trainers
of the bill hold this feature is not
necessary, because there is no imme-
date deficiency I'm the treasury. The
other feature of the plan win provide
for the redemption of greenbacks in
silver whenever the amount of gold in
the treasury falls below one hundred
millions. This may be offered as an
amendment to the seigniorage bill. as
more votes can be mustered for the
former than the latter proposition.
Democrats who favor the plan intend.
OF course. merely TO place themselves
on record as consistent In their fnan-
oial policy.
