The present generation seem to have
need of lesson; to teach them the
dangers and sufferings OF deprecated
paper currency. A majority of the
most active men in public life, have
grown from boyhood to manhood since
the resumption of specie payments, in
1916, and know nothing of the effects
of the previous arrangement of the
currency. Some of them seem to think
1t would be fine frolic to create as
many new Banks as possible, without
obligation to redeem their bills, and of
course without restriction on their
issues. Others suppose that Govern.
ment bills will be an admirable substi.
tute as currency, for the bills Of the
Bank ofthe United States, which they

State into four grand divisions; and re
