DEAR SlR-I noticed in your last issue Il
short editorial referring to my supposed in.
tcYcst in national banks ana railroads, in
which Won express desire 10 lear from me
on these points
As to nationa, banks, have no interest in
them either directly or Indirectly, nor have |,
in any other kind of banks On the contrary, ,
am now, and have been for a long time,
fully convinced that the true policy, as far as
the national bank circulation is concerned,
should be to retire the whole of that kind of {
currency and issue in IFS stead treasury
notc. I'm doing tbis. n like amount Of GOV.

Of not less tLon twenty millions ~ dollars in !
