last statement made June %, $44, ,450,-
0OO and they have 10 the cash reserve
held BY them $40 900. 900 more than
the amount required by law Clearly
showing thai there is no want of cur
rency when demanded for tie reauir-
ments Of business. Since January /,
1877. the United States has issued S34,-
2S6,6 OF silver coin, and has redeem
ed with that $2i $3.50 900 fractional Gu :
rency. now almost superseded, by. sll-
yer coin and also holds So, 100, ,e58 of
United States notes for the redemption
OF fractional currency still..outstanding
In this there was no contraction but a
substitution of coin for fractional cur
rency.
CONVERT UNITED STATES NOTES INTO
UTIl % BONDS.
II was an error to make the retirement of
UniLsd States potes depend upon the issue
of bank notes. The two had no re alton
to each other, but the retirement of Uni
ted States notes should depend entirely
upon the amount necessary to be with
drawn, 10 advance within the limited
time the residue to par In coin, and the
simplest mode of doing this was to au-
thorlzel their conversion into bonds at
the pleasure of the holder the bonds To
bear the lowest rate oflnterest that would
In ordinary times be maintained at par In
gold. To this the objection is made that
we convert nOn-interest bearing note
into an interest bearing note, aud that is
true, but what right have we as nation
OF has any bank, or individual, to force
into circulation as money its note, upon
Which it pays no interest ? Why ought
not any one who issues promise to pay
on demand be made to pay it when de-
manded or pay interest thereafter
What right has he in law or justice, to
insist upon maintaining in circulation
his note which he refuses to pay accord
ing to his promise, and which he refuses
to receive In payment OF a note bearing
interest? A certain amount of United
States notes can bn, and ought to be,
maintained at par in coin, with the aid
Of moderate coin reserve held in the
Treasury, and to the extent that this can
be uone they form the best possible pa
per money, debt of the people without
interest, Of equal value with coin aud
more convenient to carry and handle.
Beyond this the right to issue paper mon
ey, either by the government or by banks,
is dangerous exercise of power, injuri-
Gus to all classes aud should not continue
single day beyond the necessities that
gave 1t birth.
