Fiwa ncial Icgisl0stca
Ha. consumed much Of the time Of Con
grcs for the past two weeks, but has
made little progrcss. Mr.. Beck is the
author Of bill which hss had the at.
Ssusion Of the Committee on Ways and
Meane, and was to have come before the
House yesterday, fixing s4Oo, ,0oo, 900 rs
the amount Of legal-tcnder circulation,
and guarding against the policy Of inAa-
ting or contracting the volume Of curren-
cy at will. This bill will open the grand
battle between the West and South upon
the one side and the East upon the 9TH
er, upon the currency question. The
East demands contraction, and the West,
the South and the csntral States demand
expansion more money to move the
crops, develcpe resources and place the
great interests Of the country beyond
the control Of Wall Street. Whether
the lack of currency circulation or the
unequal distribution Of currency, the
South and West have and do stand in
need of more money. We appreci'
ate the ridiculousness If a country news
rsgger's attempting to discuss the COM
plicsted botherations Of finance, but thu
idea Of an equal division Of the circula'
ting medium or an imitation that will
give to the Western country little more
money. tickles our laughing apparatus.
At any rate we shall watch with great
interest the war between the Western
army, with Senator Wright from Iowa
in front, and the gold worshippers of the
favored East. In the distribution Of the
currency the Eastern and New England
States were given about three dollars to
every one given the West, and the whole
financial policy Of the country favors the
Eastern money-hawks aud bond-holders,
to the ruin of the Wes.. Let the war
be short and decisive, and the West be.
come dictator. Westward, the star Of
Empire, etc.
1t is given out ,hat the Committee on
Banking and Currency have agreed up
on the following principles, which will
be embodied in bill and reported to
the House as soon as some minor details
can be arranged:
Fint-Not to disturb injuriously the
present national banking system.
6econd-Not to interfere with the
present circulation of the national banks
Third-That the present law, requir-
ing Of national banks located in the
country to keep on hand a reserve of Is
per cent. and the city banks reserve of
25 per cent, shall be entirely abrogated,
thus allowing all the reserve to go into
circulation.
Fourth-To require these banks to
keep the reserve now required by law
upon deposits.
Fifth--Free banking upon the same
general system as at present, a or with
retio Of 800 in currency for ev.
cry 500 Of Government bonds deposited
in the United States Treasury.
6ixth-To require of these banks
deposit at the United States Treasury of
8 per cent. Of their circulation in legal
tender for the purpose Of redemption. to
be constantly maintained there.
Seventh--To prohibit national banks
from paying interest on deposits.
1t will be speedily introduced into the
House, and will makea broad and excit-
ng issue between the creditor aud debt
" States and interests. as now represen-
ed in Congress. The New England States
n Congress are generally expected to op-
pose it, and the South and West to fa-
ror the measure.
