ACCORDING to the New York
Tribune there is danger that the
sub>treasury monument to Wash
ington may fail. Thus far only
$4,000 have been subscribed, and
Mr.. Royal Phelps says that unless
there is more general response to
the appeal for contributions he will
recommend, at the next meeting of
the chamber Of commerce, that the
committee cease work. He objects
to the plan of sending out begging
subscription books on the ground
that it is unworthy of the people OF
New York and of the memory OF
Washington-in which he is UNI
questionably right. There ought
to be no difficulty in raising the
whole amount needed for a memorial
of the spot having such peculiar
and valuable historical interest al
that where the first President of tht
United States was insugurated.

THE NATIONAL BANK CUES.
TON.

The New York Tribune, in re-
viewing Senator Voorhees, attack
on the national banks, under the
caption of "The Democrats and the
Banks" has the following to say
on the subject:
Senator VOORHEES, leads the Demo
cratic party in a raid upon the
national banks. Senator Thurman,
it will be remembered, took the same
course several years ago, and the net
result is that Mr.. Thurman is no
longer Senator. It is possible that
Mr.. Voorhees, will have better for
tune; but the sober second thought
of the people will neither support
nor excuse an attempt to break down
the best banking system ever devised.
Mr.. Thurman was an ADLER man, and
had greater influence in his party
than Mr. Voorhees, has, and he chose
O most favorable time for his appeal
to the anti-bank feeling. Yet he did
not prevail, because shrewd men,
even in his own party, saw the folly
of making war upon a-system so safe
and beneficial. It will be most sur
prising if Mr.. Voorhees, does not
speedily find that he has mistaken
a temporary irritation for a deter
mined popular hostility.
Undoubtedly there was much hos
tile feeling toward the national banks,
when their efforts to save themselves
from injury caused a quick CONTRACTS
ton of the circulation. A great many
men looked upon the course of the
banks as the result of combination to
defeat the three per cent. funding bill,
and this gross misconception has not
yet been removed from many minds.
But the truth, though it travels
slowly, is steadily making progress.
Thousands of business men, who
were very angry about month ago,
have taken juster and calmer view
of the facts. They see that the
bankers who surrendered currency
acted without concert, in more than
twenty States, each in haste to get
out of the note-issuing business be-
fore the threatened change in
the law should take effect, and that
they did precisely what their most
severe critics would have done in the
same circumstances. They see that
the banks have a perfect right to
give up the business of issuing notes
whenever they think it safer to do SO,
and that no one has any right to
complain. If the people, through
Congress, make it improbable for
banks to issue notes, they must ass
sumo the whole responsibility for
the contraction which they presuma-
bly, intend to produce.
After all, the question is whether
it is for the public interest to cut
down and contract the bank circula-
ton. If it is, then there ought to
be no fault found with the banks
which contract when Congress makes

it safer for them to do SO. But if it
is not for the public interest that
the circulation should be contracted,
then Congress is to blame for any
legislation calculated to produce that
result. In that case the circulation
must be held desirable, useful and
better than anything which the law
making power has offered IN Its
stead. and, therefore, both the dis
turbing legislation and the threats OF
Mr.. Voorhees, and others are to be CEN
sured. It will not do to say that steps
should be taken to drive the banks
entirely out of the note-issuing bust
ness, and ct the same time to belabor
with abuse those which have volun-
tarily given up that business. The
complaint of Mr.. Voorhees, is illogi-
cal and absurd. If his warfare upon
the banking system is praiseworthy,
the banks themselves deserve praise
for Withdrawing from system SO
pernicious.
But the sober judgment of his
people will be that the national bank
ing system is, on the whole, the best,
safest and most beneficial ever devils
ed, and that it ought to be sustained,
at least until something better can
be substituted. Moreover, sober
men will say that, while it lasts, and
supplies a great public need, that
system ought not to be crippled or
disordered by hostile legislation. II
it is practicable to substitute q
better mode of issuing currency, let
that mode be proposed and discussed
upon it's merits. But, until that has
been done, it is the part of common
sense not to break down or derange
the system upon which the country
still depends. This is so obvious
that the very men who have beer
most inclined to sympathize with at
tacks upon the banks must PRESENT.,
be foremost in resisting any legisla
lation calculated to produce a violen
contraction of the currency. It i
for them to propose something bette
before impairing the usefulness O
the system now IN use.
| There are many who believe tina
the banking law can be amended
many who think that the power o
the banks to expand or contract cir
eulation according to the temporar,
needs of different localities is dan
fgerous. 1t is perfectly legitimate t,
propose an amendment which, taking
effect after fair warning and
reasonable time for preparation
shall not cause violent disturbanc
nor attempt virtual confscation o
property Yet such an amendment
when fully and fairly considered
would probably be defeated by tn
popular decision, and opposed b,
none more strongly than by thos
who favor currency expansion. It
true that an expansion of the circu
lation, if ever safe or desirable, is 81
when made in compliance with tb
actual demands of Legislative trade
| as the banks now enlarge their cir
lculation. Unless it is desirable t.
confne the paper issues within a
absolutely fixed limit, it is certainl
desirable to retain freedom of issue
by the banks, rather than any othe
class of notes. To this conclusion
in all probability, public opinion Wi
presently arrive, and Mr.. Voorhee
will find that he has once more lie,
. his party to q defeat.
