legislation were soon apparent The industry
OF oI lne nenon Eas speedily congealed as q how
The alarm became universal--as widespread as
conneenSe @ ana actiyity had recently been. The
the stocks OF goods imported, refused "a cou--
tinue their support to their customers, and they
into market. Prices, in consequence rapidiV
fell; that of cotton, in particular, sunk In the
The country bankers circulation was eontraoted
by no less than five millions sterling; the entire
circulation of England fell from f48,g78, 900 In
1918 to G4092S 900 in 1890; and in the succeeding
year it sank so low as eA l45.OOO," ul.l3E
Several tables of prices are given to cor
roborate this picture, which we need not
publish. On May /, 1921, the Bank of Eng
land completely resumed. One year afterwards
Mr.. Atwood, a banker of Birmingham, had
occasion to say:-"We have been thrown back
upon state of society in which ell industry
and enterprise have been rendered pernicious
or ruinOus, and where no property has been
safe, unless boarded in the shape of money
or lent to others on double security. That
is state of things which, in its results,
leaves the landowner without rent, the mer-
chant without profit, the laborer without en-
ployment or wages-whieh revolutionzes
property and deranges and disOrganizes all
the different relations and interests of society.
We will now append a few of the deduc-
! tions given at the conclusion of the instruo-
tive article from which we have collated the
foregoing facts, promising that we do not
accept them throughout, but at the same
time admitting that they contain much that
is true and valuable. The propositions are
thus put. We begin with the third in the
| series:-
| g. That forced and artificial contraction of
the currency brings disaster TO every industrial,
productive, and commercial class, and bene-
fits only one very small class, namely the
'moneyed capitalist" as defined by Hudson
| Gurney.
4. That the resumption of specie payments
| favors the national creditor at the expense OF
the national debtor, and individual creditor at
| the expense of the individual debtor.
8. That the resumption of specie payments
| tends to render the payment OF o national debt
immensely difficult, il not impossible.
9. That merchants, manufacturers, and farm
ers, who give their minds to this subject, are
more likely TO be right on currency questions
than bullionists, pam mphleteers, and journalists.
z. That although nine out of every ten bank
ers may be but poorly versed in the theory of
monetary science, yet that their practical good
sense makes them safer guides than cold
blooded bullionist theorists, whose principle OF
action is, Perish the country rather than our
cTotchets"

ment actually makes positive gift TO them Of
over twenty millions year. Besides giving
them the exclusive privilege OF banking and
driving all other banks out of existence for
that purpose, it gives them the profits of three
hundred millions of circulation. The Bank of
England, with all its services to the State. was
never accorded anything like such privileges,
andwas neverpermitted to make such immense
gains. Although. that great establishment
manages the British national debt, and acts as
our Treasury Department does for the Govern
ment, besides coming to- the resoue with its
funds wheneverthe Chancelloro of the Exoheouer
is in a tight place, the Government takes two
thirds of the profits of its circulation not reure-
scented by gold in its vaults-that Is. of the
circulation represented by interest.bearinq
securities. The whole of the circulation of the
national banks is represented by interest-bear-
ing bonds; yet they draw their interest and
pay nothing for the privilege of circulating
the money of the country. Never before was
there such favor conferred on capitalists or
such fraud upon the people, The whole
organization is, as we said, dangerous one,
and mOnstrOus cheat upon the public. but ii
it is to be continued, let us at least save the
twenty millions year now given to the banks
by substituting legal-tenders for their notes,
and cancelling with these the three hundred
millions of the INTEREST," bearing bonds now de-
posted by them as security for their circula-
ton. This is the least that a heavily taxed
people could expect. 1t would relieve our
burdens, and help pay the national debt, while
the banks would, as the exhibit of their con-
dition shows, make plenty of money without
this extraordinary gratuity.
