INEQUALITIES IN THE DISTRIBUTION
(. OF NATIONAL CURRENCY.
The financial panic, or money famine.
productive of such distress throughout
the country, is not new here. Ii has
with greater or less severity prevailed in
this state for years past, in consequence
of the inequitable distribution of the ma
ton currency. While some of the states
have allotted to them several times their
due proportion Of currency, Virginia
is allowed less than one-third of the
amount to which she is Justly entitled.
Prior to the War, Virginia had within her
present geographical limits more than
three times the amount of her present
banking capital and currency; and yet,
instead of this abrupt and alarming dim
mutton, a large increase of both was OBJ
viously demanded by the revolution in
business relations resulting from the
emancipation of the colored race. 1t is
too much to expect the full recuperation
of our business interests, or our contin-
ued ability to yield required Federal and
state revenues, unless these enormous ine-
qualities are corrected. Upon every con-
Slderation of justice and interest, the Fed
eral government should either cause the
state to be supplied with its due proportion
OF national currency, or repeal the existing
tax on state bank notes, and thus empow-
er us to provide circulating medium for
ourselves. trY
