National Banks.

In the last House Of Representa-
tives an order WAS passed directing
the comptroller Of the currency to
prepare a list of the stockholders of
the national banks. 1t took large
force of clerks and much time to
make uD this list, and when it was
finished there was no use made OF it,
for the simple reason that its circu-
lation among the people would show
the falsity of the demagogue cry that
the national banks are in the hands
exclusively of capitalists. 1t is Of
course the fact that very consider
able amount of the stock of the ma
tional banks is held by people of
af1luence, but the proportion which
is held individually by people of
limited means, or in trust for them,
or for women and children is very
large. In all the large cities of the
country the savings banks, the Gus
todians Of the poor, hold largely OF
the stock of the national banks.
Charitable associations have also con-
siderable investments in these banks,
and the little all of many widow
and orphan is put there, because it
is known to be safe as rigorous laws
and watchful superintendent make it
Certainly there are defects in the ma
tional bank system, but experience
has taught what they are, and they
can easily be cured by the proper
| legislation.
The element which wants to pull
down the national bank system
clamors for the substitution ofgreen
backs for the bank notes. 1t needs
no prophet to foretell that this is
delusion and snare. Once do away
with the national bank notes and thu
restrictions and safeguards which TIT
national legislation has throw
around the banking system, and il
an incredibly short time State bank
and private banks would spring III
all around and issue notes with such
lavish hand that the volume of cur
rency would be swelled to an extern
to satisfy the widest inhationist. !
