I lily taking place, aud it is hoped That
very soou there will be IN the United
states no bank Of issue not auihoriz.
ed by Congress, and no bank note
circulation not secured by the Gov
crnment. That the Government and
The people will derive general benefit
from this change in the banlinc svs.
tens Of the country, c2n hardly be
questioned. The national system
will create reliable and permanent
inlluence in support of the national
credit. aud protect the people against
losses IN the United States of paper
money. Whether or not any further
Legislation is advisable for the sup.
preston of State bank issues, il will
be for Congress to determine. II
seems quito clear that the treaaurv
can not be satisfactorily conducted
unless the Government can exercise
restraining power over the bank
note circulation Of the country.
