NATIONAL BANK NOTES AS A LEGAL Ten
DER-Tbe United States Treasurer has writ
ton letter to party in New York concern.
ing the question whether notes Of National
Banks arc legal tender. After rcciting and
commenting on sections of the National Bank
Acts, he concludes as follows:
Gas you alludc to the principle involved,
it may be proper for nc to say that to make
National Bank notes legal tender for all
payments would virtually exempt the bapks
from rcaecming them SINCE they would be as
available FOR all purposes except the reserves
Of the bank as the notes of the United States,
in which they arc rcdeemablc. The whole
Nationel Bank circulation of the country
would thus become permanent loan, without
interest, from the people to the banks, and
would operate as tax upon the people in favor
Of the banks to just the amount Of the inter
est on tho bank notes in circulation. Such
policy is indcfcnsblo on ovcry ground Of
principle or expcdicncy, and tho proprety
Of its adoption will scarce admit of discus
sion"
