MANY Of the advocates of more currency
delight in stating the large amount Of business
transacted in the several commercial centres
daily by means of checks, % N evidence that
the present volume of currency Isl insu63eient
to the absolute necessities of the county.
This Is scarcely fair way Of putti1g the ques-
ton. Checks and drafts are nd rs con-
venience and represent currency. They are
simply orders for currency, and are used in
cities and in making transmissioas Of large
amounts by mail, in lieu Of sending or hand
ling currency. They facilitate exchanges and
save the trouble Of frequent counting, but the
currency must be in the bank TO be drawn
against, or the check win nA be honored.
The checks cleared at the New York clear
ing house may represent the volume
of the currency in the, banks forty
times over in the same day, in the same
manner that one fve-dsllar mote may liquidAte
forty different bills or accounts in the same
day, il kept in active circulation. Notes and
time drafts practically add 10 the currency,
which is only another name for the credit sys-
ten Of the eountry: True, they are receivable
for certain classes OF Government dues, but are
only occurred ~ the pledge Of che faith of the
counffy. They have no metallc basis, and,
unlike mercantile mper, have no definite
period Of maturity. National bank notes are
in legal tenders, and such redemp-
ton is secured by the deposit of collaborating
bonds, which forms what may be termed vir-
tually q specie basis.
