ssYe Banks and Braes.''
have read the article of "Hard Coin," and
your comments OH it, which think are not alto
gether correct 1t is the Banks that regulate the
currency, not the people. Regulating the
currency is the legitimate function of the Banks.
Let thin refuse to receive the Illinois currency
on deposit, and that carrency will at once cease
to circulate. Why is it, to use your own lam
guage, that ''every dollar of gold Iowa, Ohio, or
any other paper better than Illinois money, is
snapped up at, once and used in making ex-
changess" l answer, because the Iowa State Bank
and Branches do not pay out their owns notes
at their counters but do pay out this very depre-
ciated Illinois currenco. And why is this? Why
do they send their notes to remote points for
circulation instead of circulating them at home?
presume that to day there isn't $75 of the notes
of the Iowa State Branch here in circulation in
the whole county of Des Moiues, although it
has capital stock of $4,000 paid in. What
would be thought of the merchant who should
bring stock Of $4,000 worth of goods here to
start Burlington store, and should then send
nearly every dollar of the stock to remote parts
of Iowa, Ohio, and down to Tennessee, and still
retain his store as the Burlington store
Wouldn't folks think he was funny man, unless
(mark you) he could make money by the opera
ton! why is i, that New York exchange is but
per cent in Ohio, and ] in New England for
currency. Business is dull and times are hard
there as they are here. The reason that ex-
change is so low there is, that their Banks pay
out their own money at home for home circula-
ton, and their notes are as good as specie, and
therefore they give New York exchange at a
shade more than it costs to remit the specie to
New York. Butin Iowa the notes Of the Branch
Banks are '.fying all abroad" ond Of course the
deprecated currency Of Illinois flows in upon
us and foods the country. If things we're as
they should be exchange on New York should
be here to-day per cent premium for Iowa cur
rcncy. Now, when you see Bank habitually
sending its notes to unknown parts" for circu.
iation, 1t is practically . suspension of specie
payments tothe amount SO sent of. for if a Bank
has specie 70 redeem its circulation, it certainly
should prefer to circulate its notes in that com,
munity ~ home whence it should derive ia sup.
port, and which il should in turn remunerats BY
giving it 4 sound circulating medium. And If
Bank having the specie to redeem its circulation
sends 1t of where it will not come back for q
long time for redemption, the inference is that it
