Greenbacks and National Banks.
[St. Louis Republican,.

Secretary Sherman, in his report,
enters slig Chilly into the question of
relative merits and cheapness be-
tween gleenbacks and national bank
notes, and makes an argument in ia
vor of the superiority of the former
without apparently intending it. He
thinks that the greenbacks may be
lawfully reiSsued as fast as they are
redeemed, and as matter OF public
policy, he thinks they ought t" be-.
lie says: "These notes arc OF great
public convenience. They circulate
readily; are Of universal credit; are
debt of the people without interest

guard against countertritins; and
when rcdcemable in coin at the de-
mand of the holder form paper cur.

If this reasoning in favor of keep
ing $4,000 600 greenbacks in per
manent circulation is good, it prove
that there ought to be Sioo,wO,00
greenbacks in circula,ion-that til
national banking system ought to b

would be a depreciation of the public

would be injurious to all kinds of industry.
The president said that while as they
