evidently framed with view to advance
the interests of justice and morality; but
they very often prove futile, owing to the

The New DISTRIBUTION OF THE Cur.
RENoY Senator Sherman has introduced
bill providing for what is called the
equalization Of currency" Its opera.
ton will be to equalize the ratio Of bank
note currency to that Of the population
in the different States so far as that may
be accomplished by compelling the ma
tional banks Of those States where the
circulation is in excess Of this ratio, to
withdraw their notes to the aggregate
amount of S25,000,000, and permitting
the banks of the States where the circu-
ation is below this ratio, to cxpend to
that figure The futility OF all such meas.
ures was lately argued by Senator Ed
munds in his debate with Senator Mer.
rimon, of North Carolina. Mr.. Edmunds
maintained that it makes not the least
difference how the currency may be
originally distributed or re-distributed
by legislation. 1t will flow 10 the East,
so long as the East represents the credit
or, and the West and South the debtor
sections Of the Union, that t is utterly
out Of the question 10 equalize currency
Issued under the national banking plan
on any ratio Of squara miles or popula-
ton. Its flow will obe the laws OF trade
