Imitation as it is called does not seem
to be popular in New York and the
| New England States, and the PROPOSE
ton TO fix the issue Of greensbacks at
800. .OO0,0 900 seems specially to have
excited their ire. SO violent indeed
has been the howl over the action of
Congress last week, that we are in
clined to doubt whether there may not
be little strategy mixed up with the
Indignation of our ''contraction" friends
The fact is that Congress by fixing
the volume of the greenbach currency
at 800, O0O,O0 las done nothing more
than the present Secretary of the
Treasury and his predecessor have
claimea and exercised the power to 90,
that is 10 e-.ssue tie $44 600. 900 drawn
in during MI. McCulloch's admins
tration. OF that reserve only S18, ,000,-
COS are to-day in the United States
Treasury. Nor is that obliged to be
issued by the Secretary and it is ol en-
Iy Threatened that in case the FRESH
dent refuses 10 veto the bill. the
Treasurer will refuse to take any ac-
ton under it, but will keep the ''re-
serve" withdrawn from circulation.
These are the facts in the case.
WIZ, then, shoniI there be such :;
howl OF Indignation because Congress;
has enabled tie Treasurer to DO, by
law, that which lie no Y Goes without
law ? It cannot be that specie resump-
! ton advocates do not know that the
| action of Congress does not mean in
fation; it may be, however, that they
do know that it does mean death to
/ their scheme for contracting the cur
rency below it's present volume.
| But be that as it may, the West and
| the South have fought the Middle and
| the East and have been victorious, and
in winning the victory have learned
| that dangerous lesson for the South
and West to learn" as the New York
| Icr0Fd calls it, that 'tWestern and
! Southern votes together can by law SC
reorganize," not only Our financial
system, but every department of the
| Gov rnment, that the rights OF States
and individuals shall cnce more be
respected.
We trust that the lesson IS one that
WI! lot soon be forgotten. Whatever
OF hope there may be for good govern,
mcnt in America in the future, rests il
! the coalition between the West and
the South. The first victory of that
coalition has been recorded. 1t is tc
be hoped that the shouts of its second
triumph will be heard, ere long, telling
of a signal victory over that Other
enemy. the 'sprotective" t-r;.T ~yst, =
that for So many years has taken the
| substance of Western and Southern
| producers to fat en- the manufacturers
Of New England.
There is much work for the new
coalition to do, and it has not learned
its dangerous lesson an hour too
soon

Ike New York NoF0iI says:
Now, the addition of forty-four mil
hens OF dollars to the currency is the
repudlation by the West of one six
teenth of al the interest it owes to the
East or to Europe, and that is why
the West votes roundly and steadily for
imitation.
Will the New York Herald tell us
how many more bushels of wheat the
West had to send to the East, and to Eu-
rope, to pay It's interest after the sub
traction of that forty-four millions
from tie currency, than it toos before
tie, subtraction
1t is very wrong the Herald thinks,
for Congress- to reissue the forty-four
millions, and it cheats the East to do
So, Lat did we hear anything from the
NrT0la about the wrong Of withdraw
ing that forty-foEr millions from cir
cuiatioii, and about cheating the West

SENATOR 1sEEssslEIOS AND EisEI.
RANKING.

The substitute offered by Senator
Mcrrimon fixing the increase Of the
National Bank Currency at SIG, ,C00, 600,
and thereby virtually defeating Free
Banking has prevailed, and it is much
to be regretted. The business neces-
sites Of the South require "a much
larger amount of circulating medium
than we now have. Precisely how
muc!, additional currency is needed, it
is simply impossible for any man or
| any set of Ellen TO say with certainty,
auI the only rule that can be safely
followed, is "a leave the amount to be
aecertaine,l and determined by the law
OF supply and demand. Any Legislation
tl"t requires the business of the coun-
/! try to conform to the currency instead
OF permitting the currency TO contract
or expand as business may require, is
sure to be harmful.
In fixing upon SAC, 900, 900 as the ad-
| ditional amount of Nationa! Bank Cur
rency to be issued, Senator Merrimon
has ventrred upon the harmful kind
| Of legislation. lie has in effect, arbi-
! trarily assumed certain amount OF
circulating medium to be ample for the
business needs OF the country, an
amount that viii be obtained by fixing
the Greenback Currency at $4CO, ,0O0,-
coo, and adding SAC. .O0O,G COO to the
National Bank Currency.
Upon what data it may be asked did
the Senator proceed in deciding what
amount OF circulating medium the
country requires? Does he know how
much New York requires, and how
much Oregon and Minnesota and Tex
as and Florida and Maine? If he does
not know what the several sections
need, how can lie tell what the whole
needs? Is there any living man who
can say to each State in the Union,
so much you need and 10 more ? Is
there any man, or is there any set OF
men that ought to say SO? We THU k
not. It is assuming to ascertain that
which is beyond human ken.
The Senator IS not afraid however
T. aserr0n the responsibility, but un
fortunately nc 10 obliged, III order tc
carry his point, to surround himself
with those who like Senator Sherman
of Ohio, finding themselves unable tc
prevent tsomeincrease, "take the lowest
sum that possibly can be obtained.
There were four propositions before
the Senate one to add to the Nationa
Bank currency $3.50, 100000, another
to add 1924, 100000, q third to ado
S11O, 900, 900 and the fourth offered b.
Mr.. Merrinon to add SAG, ,OGO, coo. Mr.
Merrimon's proposition prevailed thu
perpetuating the monopoly now pos
sessed by the monied class of th
country. The people of the Soutl
and the West will doubtless think h
has arrogated to himself rather to-
much ill undertaking 10 decide TO
them what amount of circulating me
dunn their business requires.
Free banking if what we need. Sen
ator Merrimon says we do not need it
Tt was upon Senator MerrimCn'
motion that the Greenback currenc
(the currency issued by the Govern
ment)was fixed by the Senate at $4OO,
900, 900 and it was upon his motto
that the Senate agreed to fix the in
crease of the National Currency 9Th
! currency issued by the National banks
at S46, 600, 900.
That his course is the best for tn
: people of North Carolina in this regar
we do not believe.
