Butler suggested that, if Congress
shouid4enaet that all National Bank
bills. which find their way into the
Treasury, should be retained and
cancelled, and legal tender notes TO
same amount Issued, the whole Ma
tiOnal Bank currency would be with
drawn-from circulation in four or five
months, or its place supplied with
greenbacks This could be done with
out increasing the circulation, and
would save between twenty and thirty
millions paid on bonds, which are de-
posted to secure the National Bank
currency. He believed, however,
that the country could bear a
thousand millions of circulation.
IF that should prove, at any time,
redundant, then that portion of it
which is not needed for business pur-
poses would be brought to the Treas
ury and exchanged for bonds, and
when more currency became needed,
thebonds would be brought back and
exchanged for currency. this currency

permitted US to multiply ships upon

to guarantee speedy overland inter

walk more and more in the ways of
loyalty, Cancellation, and brOtherly

have at the same time strengthened

larged our. national borders While
thus rendering the unanim and

and thanksgiving, which is so justly
due to Almighty God, let us not fail
