the national bank circulation, and thereby
adding to the enormous profits and overgrown
monopoly Of these institutions, the present cir
culation should be withdrawn and greenbacks
issued in It's place. The government makes
clean gift of about twenty-five millions OF dol
lars year to the national banks in the profits
on their circulation, and yet it seems the
amount Is to be increased. Looking at the
corruption of Congress and the enormous
power Of these banks, we should not be sur
prised to see them get as firm grip upon that
body as the Pacific Railroad monopoly has got.
The way to give the West and South currency
enough--and no doubt there is q scarcity in
both sections-is to issue greenbacks in place
of the national bank rags, and let as many as
please bank upon this substantial currency all
over the country. A uniform legal tender cir
culation, without contraction or expansion, is
all we want at present, and that would become
properly distributed all over the country. 1t
is the artificial national bank system, with the
different kinds Of currency in use, that makes a
scarcity in one place and a superabundance in
another. We hope Congress may have sense,
honesty and patriotism enough not to entertain
any such monstrous proposition as that men-
toned by Mr.. Cattell.

These developments will make the Pacific

Of the human family. In the course Of q year
or two the Pacific Railroad will be completed;
then, with Europe on one hand and China and
the other countries Of Asia on the other, this
country win become the centre of commerce
and ideas. Nature has placed this Continent
in that position, and science, trade and
enterprise are fast bringing its people
be long before the magnetic telegraph will put
us in instant communication with Asia, as it
has with Europe. The privilege given to an
American Company (the East India Telegraph
Company to lay cables along the Chinese
coast to connect Canton, Macao, Hong Kong,
Annoy, Foochow, Ningpo, Shanghae, and the
other vast and populous commercial cities Of
the empire, show both the progress in China
and the favor with which Americans are re-
garded. There is no doubt that within few
years telegraphic communication win be made
direct from America to China and Japan, and
that ere long it will extend over these
Asiatic empires. The influence of this
republic in Asia must become paramount.
Our superior civilization will penetrate and
spread over the populous empires there
which have been closed from the rest of the
world l0r thousands Of years. The vast wealth
of Asiatic commerce, which all nations have
sought, will flow to and across America, and
New York on this will become the greatest
cities in the world.
