THB DRPosIroRs
The records do not show the number Of
unfortunate persons induced BY the ma
tlonal " character Of these institutions 10
become depositors, or the aggregate amount
of their losses. Il must amount 10 verv
many million dollars. Not only were ipdsi-
Vidual depositors sufferers, but in some
instances, the national government was q
depositor, and, consequently, q loser Of
large sums though for government de-
Posits IN national banks partial security
has been required, in the shape Of BONDS
deposited in the Treasury to secure United
States deposits. Private depositors have
no security, and in cases of failure usually
lose everything.
IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
1t has been alleged that Speaker Blaine
packed the Banking and Currency Com.
mittee in the interest Of the national banks
General Gar6eld's bill looks very like il.
The proposed legislation is exactly in the
wrong direction. Instead Of giving the ma,
tional banks $95 200, 900 more, Congress
sbould repeal the original oct, retire tbei,
circulation and substitute gpld-bearips
United States notes. This is what 4 nous
come to.
