IMPORTANCE OF THE NEW CURRENCY BILL.
THE QUESTION OF NATIONAL BANK NOTES VS..
GREENBACKs SETTLED.
WASHINGTON, July S-The Second Conference
Committee on the Currency bill agreed TO the bill pre-
cisey as it reported the First Conference with the
change of only a single word the amount for the new
bank currency is made ty-four instead OF fortytye
millions; and having obtained this ptful concession Of
nine millions the House, that had a few days before
found nothing good in the b and had defeated IL by en-
overwhelming majority adopted by vote Of 100 TO rs,
the opposition representing the solid Democratic strength
allied with the Greenback Republicans under the lead OF
Mr. Ingersol.
The importance of this measure which has become
law cannot be estimated by its immediate effects.
Primarily it will do great and just work by giving TO
the Southern Western States banking facilities which
the East has heretofore almost entirely monOpozed hut
in its ultimate results it will go much further, for in
reality the passage OF this bill Congress has definitely
settled what shall be the future currency OF the country
The question between national bank notes and green
backs decided by this legislation, and the friends OF
greenback currency recognized the Issue, and on the
final vote arrayed themselves against the b and were
completely beaten.
The national banking system heretofore an expert
men is by this bill recognized, strengthened, and made
permanent. Its base Is broadened to cover the
whole country and the opposition to it sectional in
stitution for the benefit of the North and East has
longer any force When the banks provided for arc
established the system will be firmly rooted in every
State intimately connected with and allied 10 the
general business interests of the country, that it will
have nothing fear from its enemies. There will Deman
nothing further for Congress do but TO bring the banks
b specie payments and then dyest the system Of the
odious monopoly feature, and make banking free
any other business We shall then have the best cur
rency in the word-a currency entirely secure uniform,
and equally good in all parts OF the United States and
convertible into geld on demand Perhaps the banks
WILL by future legislation be required to accept The new
low interest bonds authorized by tho Funding bill in
place Of per Cents they have deposited in the
Treasury their circulation. beevethe people
will Justify Congress In obligng the banks TO do this
and that the banks will to be for their interest not
antagonize with the people and the Government on
this point. Tbs national banking system being thus
firmly established IL will be from time 10 time extended
To keep pace with the growth of the country and there
can no longer any doubt that it will supply all the cur
rency and that the greenbacks will soon be withdrawn
and redeemed.
comparison Of the votes on the reports Of the two
Conference Committees the Currency bill shows some
curious inconsistencies the part OF the advocates OF
imitation In the House. For example, Mr. Cobnrn OPP
posed the first report saying the bill would eject AN
actual contraction the amount OF thlrtyone millions,
and that he would vote for dollar OF eontac
ton voted for the second report although u pro-
vided for but nine millions OF currency than the
first According his statement he has therefore
voted for twenty-five millions Of contraction Mr. CoDurn
ia in very awkward fix, but he Is noe alone IN ~ some
score or more OF the supporters OF imitation are 10 the
same bad box and forced TO believe that they were
NOT sincere in their declarations that the bill was org
nay measure Of contraction but made them rs ieEis-
latiye trick 10 secure imitation however small The
pary nine millions they got by IL ought TO be but poor
recoInpense for their inconsistency.
