under free banking the bank currency has diminished as
proof that We need less currency than we have The re-
ducton is solely due 20 the resumption law as he knows
full well After the panic and before the passage of that
law bank currency steadily increased. Free banking
was then established by the resumption law but accom-
sTeenbacks by gold redemptOn-thus making the banks
