with another suggestion. which is en-
bodied in an address delivered by him
at Fairfield, Iowa, last week, and which
is Il considerable Improvement, so far
as definiteness is concerned. over the
previous plans suggested 10y him. 1t
is i'll brief that the government retain
all it's present issues of paper money
and reserve to itself the option of re
deeming them in gold and silver bull
lion, instead of i'll coin. There is Il
concession TO the notcioiler to the eft
feet that they may demand coin. but if
they do the government reserves the
right to pay in gold or silver coin.
| The gist of Governor i}oies new plan
is bullion redemption.
He would provide that the treasury
retain for the redemption of its out
standing notes IL reserve of % per cent
of the aggregate face value of such
notes. one-half i'll silver tullion and
one-half in gold at it's bullion value.
%reserving the options as above speci-
iICN. ~ NCAAo uioO PlONAOC UhdV lC
redeemed notes would be reissued and
that on the day of redemption the
treasurer shall purchase in the open
market a quantity of bullion equal to
that paid out for the notes deposited.
In this way, he argues, the treasury
would retain a constant reserve that
would never be increased or dimin-
ished and that would always be up to
the market value of the bullion.
He would also authorize the treasury
to issue to persons depositing either
gold or silver bullion certificates eN-
pressing in dollars the highest market
price of such bullion on the day of de-
post and make these certificates re-
deemable in bullion at the market
value. These certificates, not the bull
lion they represent, he would make an
unlimited legal tender and provide for
their reissue as fast as redeemed.
"Who." asks Governor Boies in de-
len ling this plan. would dispute the
soundness of such a currency? Every
cent 81 fiat. that walking goblin that
fri. htcIis the money kings of the
world. squeezed ont of it. Every dol
lar secures! TO its full face value by
god or silver stored in the nations
treasury ana reinforced by the plighted
f.itA OF this great republic. that no
matter what comes it shall always be
rc loomed with one OF the other metals
Il their actual value whenever de
msndcd."
This Is d great Improvement on Bly-
anism and is decidedly the best iinan-
.cial plan Governor Boes has evolved.
with all his numerous efforts in that
direction. 1t is the Window plan with
variations and improvements. The
currency he proposes to maintain OF
issue, based on gold aud silver bullion
at their market value, would i'll effect
monetize the whole stock and output
of the precious metals without adopt,
ing OF recognizing a spurious ratio.
But we predict that for this very
reason Governor Boies' party-or al
least the Bryan wing of twill neve
accept the plan. What the is to | ad
v~ocates are after is Il cheaper dollar
based on the commercial value of the
money metals. If Mr.. Boies could gel
some of the republican leaders to take
up and push his plan it might stanC
some show of adoption. Minneapoli.
