the walls go down in the midst of

search for the bodies is attended by
great danger. not only from weakened

siderable debate, in the course of which

PLAN FOR FINANCIAL COMPROMISE.


Chicago, Feb. ia novel suggestion
as to the possibility as to obtaining a
national movement as to compromise
between the adherents of the gold
standard and their opponents, is being
advanced by Mr.. w. s. Herbert of
this city. The plan is for circulating
medium consisting of coin certificates,
payable half in gold and half In silver
a two-dollar certificate for example to
be redeemed by one dollar in gold and
one dollar in silver coin. If the rela-
tive value OF one shall diminish, the
value of the other. according to MIR.
Herbert would relatively increase and
the value of the certificates payable in
both metals Jointly would be sub
stantially effected, the higher fulcrum
OF the scales being not disturbed by
the raising of one arm and the lower
ing of the other.
