A Currency Law at Last.

We have at last currency bill passed
By Congress, which the President eau sign
aud as Congress was apparently detcrm'n'
ed to DO something with the currency
question, probably this law isas near harm
les: as any change could have been We
give the Cincinnati Gazette's synopsis Of it:
provisions as follows:
This bill fixes 1882 100000 as the
maximum legal tender circulation, that Is
il declares that all that is out shall stay
out, but that the amount shall not be IN
creased The so called reserve" is aboI'
ished, and the power to withhold that por'
ton Of the reserve used By the Secretary OF
tue Treasury last fall is taken away Not
one dollar Of the 1882 100000 now out.
standing can be withdrawn Without the au'
thori,y Of Congress, and, as there is d
majority 10 beth houses in favor Of luha'
ton, there is not likely to be any con
traction for some years TO come
The reserve on circulation is abolished
Thus the banks are left free to loan. all
their resources, with the exception OF the
reserve on DEPOSIT Prudent bankers sci
dom keep less money on hand than was
required by the law which has now been
changed, but in quiet times, when money
is most wanted for moving the crops, tue
funds heretofore held il reserve will be
used TO large extent The abolition Of
the reserve and tho egaliaing aud keeping
out Of the 80 million grceubacks is equal
to an imitation Of 60 millions. 1t does not
create any more paper money, BUTT pro-
viles for the constant use Of money prcvl'
ousIy created that was locked up 10 bank
vaults or in the United States Treasury
1t also provides for taking SO million ia.
ti0nal bank circulation from the east aud
giving it to Western States that have not
their proportion, per capita; but it is Silp..
ulatcd that not mere than 30 millions Of
this shall be transferred in one year In
practice this will not amount to much
The West is a borrowing section, while
the East is lending section, This is the
reason why, tho East has. more than its pro,
portisn of6anE notes The disProportIon
will be likely to continue so long as there
is more loanable capital in ono section TIA"
another. We now make the prediction
that there will not be a rush from the West
aud South for the s. millions which is thus
made subject to redistribution.
As Senator Thurman said, the bill has
very little evil 10 it. Its chief significance,
however, is in what it does not contain
rather than in what it provides, :"
