CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The Tribune's
Washington special says the Corptrol-
ler of currency is of the opinion that
the free banking scheme will be revised
in the next Congress. Western capt.
alists who come here to make applica-
ton for National Bank circulation and
are unable to obtain it, state that the
sentiment of the West is strongly in ia
vor of unrestricted banking within spec
ifed limits, and that the amount, with
remarkable unanimity, seems to have
been fixed at an aggregate circulation OF
four hundred millions. 1t is understood
that the chief argument against this
additional issue will be the statement
that the present circulation, per capita,
is altogether too great as compared with
the circulation in other countries.
