Bank Notes-Their Counterfeit. and Menu.
OF Preye utiop.

The immense losses sustained by the people
through the constant circulation of counterf, il
bank notes demand that some measures Of pro-
vention should be adopted by the Lesislatn :
The subject has acquired new interest from e
fact that city bank. not long since. II is said
received a considerable sum in counterfeit notes
on its own institution, without detection. Again:
the art of photography has, IL is supposed, ma.
terialy contributed 10 the trade of counterfeiters
An experiment was tried not long since to % [
its efficiency in this line. Some gentlemen had n
check photographed on bank, which. on presen-
tatlon to the cashier. was promptly paid.
Against the use Of the photograph in counterfeit
ing blue colored paper is bar, which is reflected
as a white color.

yellowish or orange colored dye. with
which the paper is stained, and which
is said to he indelbe. and to prevent al,
attempts at change or eradication and sever.
Of the New England banks have employed his
process. But, after all, the only safeguard
against counterfeits is In the manufacture of the
paper intended to be used for printing the de-
nomination of bills TO be issued.
The Bank Of England places no reliance upon
any sort of engraving which may appear on the
face Of bill If we examine one of its notes.
we shall find that its denomination, &c. is ex-
pressed on the face Of IT, in plain German text
which, at the outside, would probably cost not
over fifty dollars to engrave. But If we examine
the texture Of the paper very closely, we shall
find that il has been manufactured with the
greatest care-the process being carefully con-
Quoted on the premises, and 80 produced as
TO defy imitation. The pulp is prepared
from fine linen rags and, in passing off
in narrow sheets, they are stamped on both sides
with eccentric ruled or engraved plates, in
waved lines, with letters expressing the denomi-
nation of the bills. This eccentric ruling IL exc
cuted on the plates by machinery, and the lines

that after one set Of PLACES are made and the tools
destroyed, the bank itelf cannot reproduce II, or
make counterfeit OF the plates. They proceed
on the principle, that what one man can engrave
by hand another can copy; but what one
tool produces on plate by eccentric ruling, ope-
rated on by machinery, no other tool can be made
by the same machine to produce similar lines.
Hence note paper, thus prepared, and the tools
destroyed with which the plates were engraved,
not even the bank itself can produce others like
them.
Our banks have acted on the principle that the
more expensive and elaborate the engraving is
made to appear the face of the BILL the greater
the exemption from being counterfeited.
The cost of engraving some of the snowy bills
Of our banks, with vignettes of Indians, faces of
bank presidents, Franklins, Washingtons, steam
boats, locomotives ships, &C., is probably in many
cases, from $500 to $1,000 and which are more
or less worthless in preventing them from being
counterfeited while Bank of England notes
printed with plates the text of which might
probably be executed for $40 or $50, have
no counterfeits except those so clumsily exc
cuted as to deceive no one except those who are
grossly ignorant The paper being strong pre-
serves its integrity, and as the bank never issues
bill second time they always look new aud
clean.
In the United States the people lose in almost
every form by paper money. The bills are easily
torn and mutlated. The banks reissue them as
long as they hold together, thus causing their
final loss or destruction to fall upon the
people.
All traders and dealers are compelled to take
periodicals, known as Bank Note Reporters, is
sued by brokers who are the agents of country
banks, and whose interest it is to puff banks
which employ or pay them for the service,
and run down others which refuse to do it;
get up run on the same, and then buy up their
bills at large discount from the panic stricken
people These detectors or reporters also pro.
fess to give notice of all new counterfeits which
amount to legions, but unfortunately their ~
tees often appear after the people have already
been swiDdled by the counterfeit rags.
The remedy for all this imposition and heavy
loss by the people, is for the Legislature to autho
rize the Superintendent of the Bank Depart
ment to have bank note paper manufactured
similar to that employed by the Bank of England,
and compel every bank in the State to obtain it
and use it; and let them print vignettes on it or
not, as they please, or use German text, like the
Bank of England or the Secretary of the Urea
suly, at Washington, might be authorized by
Congress to have the paper manufactured and
furnished 10 all the banking institutions Of the
United States disposed to use it for the protec-
ton Of themselves and of the public.
The Legislature of this State should also com
pei the banks to cancel all bills when once re-
deemed, and to issue new bills in place of them,
which would prevent their loss by the wear and
tear to which they are now exposed,
