SMALL NOTES.

The following arguments upon the subject OF small note
issues in Pennsy vania equally applicable at this lime:
10 the latitude of Virginia. where strenuous efforts are being
made 10 induce the Legislature change its policy in this
respect:
The SMALL NOTE Law ASD FREE BASKISG.- Governor
Johnston In his late message says the Philadelphia Ledger
cannot afford let The opportunity pass of une more fling
the law prohibiting the circulation Of foreign small bills
He SAYS the law has failed realize the results Intended by
the legislature The Governors experience and inortna-
ton greatly differs from In this city, which used IL
great for all the small trash from all Inc ne"
Eng land States New York. New Jersey Delaware MARY
Legislature could possibly shut out, have ever ueen
seen circulation since the law went into operatn Oc-
casonay Jersey or Delaware bill Is seem out IL IS rare
occurrence an still any attempt 10 pass
them There used to be small uncuent bills IN cir
cua,ion in Philadelphia than in any other part OF the State
and now often OF the old Continental
bills in crcuaionand yet the Governor says the law mas
failed.
Our currency is now almost entirely of gold and silver and
but for the foreign demand for silver ami the consequent APP
preciaon OF that metal which renders change the fractional
part vi dollar scarce our handtohand currency would
be remcdcd by any supply OF small bills Indeed, I"
considerable the Tree circulation u small paper would
tend to drive silver coin into bank, from whence would
be quite impossible withdraw IT, The banSs in discoun
ting otherwise accommodating their customers pay
out their paper bills and never nowa days silver but
the debtor the bank in his payments is often obliged to
scratch together every pcayune within his reach and thus
silver Is continually and steadily withdrawn from ccu
laon its place supplied with small notes. The fewer
forsign small therefore, that we have the more small
coin is there likely to remain in circulation The Governor
is right in his conclusions when he declares that
authority 10 our banks issue small bills would speedily
drive from circulation the appreciated trash coming among
us from other States
The fact Of the people prefern Clean dollar OF our
own banks 10 u deprecated dirty bill from some other
State is proof thai they would take the deprecated
BILL il it would pass or that they would not pass after Ia
king it, in preference pass clean good BILL payable in
coin home If true that better currency would
exclude one that worse there would be necessity for
law authorizing the issue Of email bills by own banks
already have better currency than they would
form in our gold and silver The truth is the worse cur
rency is long remains currency the more generally
will be circulated and tho completely will it drive bet
ter currency from USE for tho that every man in bus
has take such money his neghbor takes and that
all pass h, money first. The only true policy Is that
of the State which prohibits all small notes. and have
no fear OF The Legislature parting from it.
