Treasury Notes.


One OF the New York wing papers is urging the ennis
SION oil treasury notes to the amount of fifty millions oil
dollars IN bills OF the denomination Of ten dollars and up
wards bearing no interest Let this be done and the de-
struchon OF both public and private credit will be the
cessary consequence The distinction between treasury
notes OF large and small denominations, and between
treasury notes bearing interest and bearing interest
an one, though some people cannot, and Others
will not see it.
Treasury notes of large denominations, and bearing
interest," are mere substitutes for certificates of stock
and though not free from objection are not more obec-
tonable than other forms OF public debt
ha ara W., ~ mG,es pear no interest PROVIDED
do not TO any great extent, become substitutes for
money They are then, like bank notes of similar de-
nominations, simply substitutes for private bills of ex-
change. Such has practically been the effect of treas
ury notes issued at nominal rates of interest since 1897
They have been sent to dsbursing officers at points
where it inconvenient 10 transmit other funds
They have thence been RENTED by parties desiring
make payments in the commercial cities and esew here
But they have not been used currency, any further
than bills of exchange are used.
But let treasury notes be issued OF small denomina
tons ten dollars, and bearing no interest and they
will become kind OF paper money One OF two conse
and silver and convertible bank paper, they will form
an addition to our present circulating medium
Bank notes are SO connected with the general business
OF the country, and especially with system of dis
counts and deposes, that they cannot, to any great
tent be displaced by emissions of government paper, pro-
vided specie payments be sustained But temporary
addition may be made to present amount of crcula
ting medium, by treasury notes of small denominations
and, bearing no interest. great quantity of these
could be thrown into circulation especially in the
remote parts OF the country and, as they would be
regarded by the banks in the interior being as good
as gold and silver. even better, they would become
the basis OF new bank issues Thus new bank nfla-
ton would be the first consequence of this emission of
government paper money.
But would not be long before these notes would find
their way to the centres OF trade. If the banks should
continue to receive hem there would be such an addition
to present amount of paper medium would lead to
rise in the rates OF foreign exchange and exporta
ton OF specie suspension of specie payments could
counts would press heavily all classes of the
munity.
II the banks should refuse TO receive them, govern
ment paper money would at once be at discount as
compared with bank paper money

Thus appears that the paper currency of Massachu
sets and New York is inflated in ratio of about Ia per
cent than it in the year of folly-that
is, ls36-'37.
The returns from Massachusetts are for September
1896, and October 1916. And those from New York for
january, 1887, and August 1917.
We are far from saying that extensive emission of
treasury notes of small denominations and bearing no
interest, would be followed by immediate suspension
Of specie payments How far il is possible for the banks
OF country to expand, and yet or short tme) sustain
specie payments, is experiment that has yet
been fairly tried In 1880, bank note currency

it was l03 millions in 1885, it was liO mioHs and in
the beginning of 1887, was 149 millions In the short
period of six years paper circulation Than

payments would not have occurred till had been

broken up the whole system OF paper credits
Under such circumstances the commercial world
presents, there is, however little probability that
any great addition could be made to present amount
of paper money any FORM without producing the most
disastrous consequences.

and the two Senators from South Carolina as a
substitute for that medley Of thanks and censure
which had come up from tho House. The sense
OF maj oriiy of the Senate being thus definitely
settled, the resolution passed unanmously and
finally, after some cavil and dispute about
forms, was agreed to by the House. So much
for the vote OF thanks.
We could easily fill our paper with extracts
from speeches o. Democratic members, inculpat-
ing and censurng General Taylor; but we have
transcribed enough to show the spirit of the par
ty in Congress in regard to that distinguished
officer, who if he has not by this time fought
his way into favor with that pary has turned
their reproaches into hollow praise.
We have done for the present with this sub
ject, and only for the present. for it is our pur-
pose as far as in our power 10 take care that no
fraud be praclsed on the public in this respect
1t is our purpose to be just. The administration
has its peculiar merits, which we in common
with the whole country readily accord to it. 1t
has the merit of bringing on this war. 1t has
the merit of bringing General Santa Anna back
into Mexico to head and lead the Mexican forces
against the armies of the United States 1t has
the merit, with the aid Of its friends in Congress
Of jealous and repeated, though happily abor.
tive attempt to supercede the two Wing Gener-
ais, SoOTT and TAYLOR. All these merits be
long TO it, and with these it must satisfy its APP
petite for praise.
