Cn.vA.-o, 14. - The T Hm's Washington special says tin points in the forthcoming report of the Secretary Secre-tary ol the Treasury have been developed devel-oped by repeated interviews with film, and are in the main as follows : He will recommend that forty-four millions mil-lions of tiie legal tender reserve be made a part of the pannanent currency. cur-rency. The Secretary says that whether he go for intlation or contraction con-traction he will make enemies, but he is in good terms 'with himself and thinks he has saved the Treasury once or twice already, lie will favor the convertible bonds of small denominations, denomi-nations, beginning as low down as $'2o, and bearing one cent a day inter-terest, inter-terest, and convertible into qreenbaeks ; at pleasure. The old bomls of higher den.minat.:o:is will, of course, be I drawn in as the smaller Iv-uiis are put ! out. 'Ihe digest of the scheme, as has been often explained, is lo make 1 working people, servants, and the I lalureis and thrifty classes may have , an interest in the national securities, i i It is thought that this issue of small : j bonds will he favored by both eon- ; I tractionists and expansionists. The ' most important admission of Mr. Kichardsou is that lie wilt probably ! be a borrow-er of gold and greenbacks, i within three montlis, to pay the cur- j rent expenses of the government and the interest on the public debt.
