We have brought them to that admission at
least. But they say the banks render the
country services to that amount What are
these servicess The government wants no as
sistance from them. II in crisis 1t should
need loan that would be obtained as well
without as from them. Does the service con-
sist in drawing fifteen to thirty per cent
q year, or even more than that from the in
dustry Of the people. If this be the service
have performed It The only service they
render that we know Of is to their ten or
twenty thousand stockholders. These GER
tainly do magnificent business; but the
thirty-6ve millions of people pay dearly
for it. There oan be no objection, of
course, to capitalists making large
interest from their capital through any bust
ness they chose to embark in, il 1t be legiti-
mate, in banking as well as any other; but we
are decidedly opposed to a class Of capitalists
being fostered by the government at the ex-
pense of the rest of the community. We espe-
cially object to the government giving away
SO many millions annually TO private corpora
tions under any circumstances, particularly to
the national banks, which are making enormous
profits and absorbing the business and wealth
of the country.
II the national banks wish to do banking
business let them do so on the legal money OF
the government A uniform legal tender cur
rency is the only one we should have. The
people would certainly prefer it to the national
bank notes. and 1t would simplify our circu-
lating medium. The amount could be limited,
as well as the number of banks and their bust
ness operations, by law, If that should be
deemed necessary to prevent undue specula-
ton or too great facility for banking. This,
however, is matter of legislation and detail
upon which it is unnecessary to enter here
What we contend for is that all the banks re
quired in the country for the purposes of BUSH
ness could and would exist, under proper regu-
lations, just as we'll by banking on legal ten
ders as on the present national bank currency
while we should at the same time destroy a
dangerous monopoly and save at least twenty
millions year by the change.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1867-02-03

forts TO Keep Their Privileges.
Mr.. Randall's excellent bill to curtail the
enormous privileges Of the national banks and
to substitute in the place of their circulation q
uniform legal tender currency, together with
other movements in Congress to cut down the
monstrous and dangerous monopoly. have
aroused q most formidable opposition from
those interested in the banks. Our Washington
correspondent informs us that Jay Cooke aud
in consultation with the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury, the Comptroller Of the Currency and the
Senate Finance Committee, with . view of
staving of any thorough action by Congress
through the Introduction of modified and COM
paratively unimportant measures. We learn,
too, that there is "great anxiety" among all
that class, "by reason of the impression that
Mr.. Randall's bill will pass
We ioresaw the determined opposition this
measure would meet WITH knowing that men
or corporations do not give up great
privileges without desperate struggle. The
government improvidently and recklessly gave
the profits Of three hundred millions Of circu-
lation to the national banks-equal to about
twenty millions year, which properly be-
longed to the people, and which the govern
ment might save by issuing legal tenders in
place Of this currency. We should be sur
prised IL the banks did not show resolute
hostility to any measure that threatened to
deprive them Of these profits. Twenty mil
lions year is a vast gin, and we cannot ex-
pect to nnd men who would relinquish II
willingly or from patriotic considerations.
Argument cannot reach where so much is at
stake and where selfinterest is so powerful.
Individuals do not often show much soul or
conscience where large interests are involved;
but the old adage that corporations have no
souls is quite applicable to these overgrown
national bank associations They even pre-
tend TO plead invested rights anu the benefit
they are to the country. Invested rights, for
sooth, in a gigantic fraud upon the people A
benefit indeed, which takes from the public
twenty millions year without making the
least return for the favor, and which besides
threatens to absorb all the profits Of industry
and control the political affairs Of the republic |
From such benefit the people should pray
to be delivered.
We perceive that the advocates Of the banks
no longer pretend to deny receiving this enor-
nous gratuity, enough to pay our national
debt at compound interest within fortv years.

OnNoUs DoMGs IN SPAN.-We have the news
Of the arrest recently of more than hundred
persons in Madrid believed to be connected
with revolutionary schemes. The late repres-
sive measures Of the government, more strin-
gent and despotic against the freedom of
speech and the press than anything elsewhere
since the rescue of Venice from Austria, are
evidently increasing a. usual, instead of
diminishing, the reactionary and revolutionary
elements which threaten the overthrow Of
Queen Isabella. In Spain, as In tho East, there
are the combustibles Of a general war, need
ing only the application of tho match BY one
Of the great Powers But those Powers, ex-
oepting Russia, have each their particular rea-
sons for the preservation Of the peace, and go
the upshot will probably be, for the present, a
truce with Turkey and non-intervention in
Spain, though the result may be bloody and
radical revolution. But let the peacemakers
do their best, there must be another shaking
up Of the old balances of power on the Cont
nent and the revolutionary elements before
there can be general peace.
