able as the organization of banking associa.
tions under general act Of Congress well

ti,ns tho government might furnish circulat.
ing notes on the security Of United States
bonds deposited 10 the treasury. These notes
prepared under tho SUI ervision Of proper off.
GERS being uniform in appearance, and sscuri.
ty and convertible always with coin, would at
once protect labor against the evils Of a Wis
cious currency. and facilitate commerce by
cheap and safe exchanges. A moderate reser
vation from the interest on the bonds would
compensate the United States for the prepara
tion and distribution of the notes, and gen.
eral supervision Of the system, would tighten
tho burden Of that part Of the public debt
employed as security. The public credit,
moreover, would be greatly improved, and the
negotiation of new loans greatly facilitated by
the steady market demand for government
bonds, which the adoption Of tho proposed
system would create. Ii is an additional re-
commentator Of the measure, Of considerable
weight in my judgement, that il would re-
concile, as far as possible, all existing interests
by the opportunity offered to existing institu
tions for secured uniform national circula-
tion in place Of the local and various circuIa

laws Of bealth-to show the difference between tho
intelligent and instructive obedience Of tho same
