CURRENCY BONDS,

Whenever we meet man who Is disposed
to doubt the practicability Of our suggestion
In regard to the reissue Of the funded obliga-
tions of the State In inter-convertble cur
reney bonds. all that is necessary to make
him a convert to the plan Is to show him one
of the Georgia per cents of the denom-
nation of five dollars. The moment
ha laws his eyes on one Of these baby
bonds" he falls In love with IT..
and, as II by sort of revelation, he becomes
fulfilled with hopeful visions of q redeemed
credit for Louisiana, and the recovery On the
part of New Orleans of her lost commercial
ascendency. and he begins to comprehend the
feasibility Of attaining all these things. tie
sees no reason why, with a redeemed credit,
these bonds should not become as current as
greenbaeks, thus supplying our people,
through the banks no longer taxed 10 per
cent on their circulation. with an abundant
and flexible currency, which can always be
expanded or contracted as public demand or
necessity may require.
No heavler blow has ever been struck at the
commercial prosperity of this city than was
dealt 1t IN the enactment Of the law imposing
the 10 Der cent tax on the circulation Of State
banks. which absolutely destroyed our
magnificent banking system, the safest
and most admirable In all respects
that has ever been known in this
country. No greater benefit could be
conferred upon her, or upon the people, our
banks supplied with common medium o.
exchange as we'll as with such capital as was
necessary to carry on their business, thar
the repeal Of this tax.
| But this blessing can be vouchsafed us only
by Congress. and with the powerful influences
that must be arrayed against any such rad
ical alteration Of the settled financial policy
Of the government. the probability Of ou
ever attaining it is exceedingly remote.
It Is needless to argue the benefits tina
must result to New Orleans, and to the who'll
region once tributary to her, from the reviva
of our State banks. These advantages ar
all thoroughly understood and appreciates
by all the commercial, financial and planting
classes of our people. So long as this 10 pc
cent tax remains In force 1t must continue t.
be impossible for these banks To circulat
| bank notes of their own issue. The onl,
practical question, then, is simply-will tbi
plan of inter convertible currency bonds, sub
jeet to no tax, supply the banks with me
dunn of exchange that will answe

over the volume of currency Ii
