with coal was sent cut from Florida

time she ran into Wilmington.

The Herald says the National
Banks are aiming at she control OF
the money in the country. 1t holds
4 that the National Bank currency
/ ought to be withdrawn, and green
backs issued In its place. The West
and South, as we'll as the East aad
! North, might have then as many banks
as they chose-that is, banks of de-
posit and loans, and for commercial
accommodation, which is tbs only
legitimate business Of banking, all
using at the same time the currency
of the Government and people for cir
culation. The Government would
then get the benefit OF National cir
I culation, the profits of which are
enormous. The people would have a
uniform currency, perfectly safe and
: steady. If the currency IS to be dis
turbed or changed at all, this Is the
only rational view IN accordance with
? sound financial doctrine and public
interest.
Couldwell, who is an alleged accom-
plice OF Blatchford, in the drawback
frauds, has absconded, and warrants
are issued for both.
