Treasury NOTES.-The. ;.


fhe difference between borrowing by means of treasury
otes bearing no interest, and borrowing by means of
stock certihcatesor what amount to the same thing
treasury notes bearing Interestingly be thus illustrated
Treasury notes bearing interest issued to the
amount OF one million dollars After circulating for a
time they paid in for duties So much floating debt
government is reduced to this amount. All the advan-
age gained, is, the of million dollars for limit
ed period, free OF interest
But let this million of revenue be paid in in gold or
silver, convertible bank medium. 1t then affords gov
eminent the means of paying the interest SIG 666 66e
OF stock debt at six per cent? or of o0oO0 at five per
cent.
Thus government has, in fiscal point of vew sixteen
or twenty times much power when it resorts to the
funding system when it resorts to the of treasury
notes bearing no interest.
Nations who wish to borrow may learn wisdom from
the British government 1t commenced its issue of treas
ury notes. exchequer bills in the year 1896, than
one hundred and nifty years and seldom has less
than one hundred millions OF dollars aoat in such notes
or bills But has never issued notes bearing inter-
est and it allows such rate of interest OF its exchequer
bills that but few of them are ever paid in for duties
taxes Bya steady perseverance in this policy has the
British government been able to support its credit during
the most expensive wars, and under accumulation OF
debt amounting to more than four thousand millions OF
dollars.
But let the British government call in lis present ex
chequer bills, and substitute others bearing interest
these new bills could not be absorbed in trade for the
channels of circulation are already full They would be
pand IN Ter taxes To this extent they would reduce the
eietst revenue, and the government would longer
interest its funded debt The whole fabric of British
public credit would then be Frustrated.
During the revolutionary war; recourse was had to the
issue of precisely such paper the New York wing edi
tor recommendshat is, treasury notes bearing inter-
amount exceeding 1887 900, 900; but the
amount exceeded $9,oooooo, they began to deprecate
and continued to deprecate till one thousand dollars in
paper were worth but one dollar in specie.
The French revolutionary government also issued
treasury notes bearing interest and it issued them
the amount of s,S42 100000 But those who know what
evils such issues produced in France, will not wish to
see this policy adopted in the United States
After these lessons of experience, it is to be
hoped that nothing will induce the United States govern
ment to depart from its present sound and safe principles
of finance. They are principles which have thus far
carried it safely along, and the only principles which
possibly sustain it through all the vicssitudes to which
governments are liable in time of war. THETA.
