OF all the suggestions made to sustain and
preserve the national bank note circulating
medium, that of Mr.. New, the Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, is the most practi-
cal. For various reasons it is undesirable
that the bonds of foreign nations should be
used for this purpose, and the securities OF
the various classes of State bonds or landed
forms of securities are equally undesirable
and the only really safe form of accomplish
ing the needed end is that on the present
basis OF United States bonds.
This can only be done by the issue of fur
Their bonds for this purpose, and Mr. New
suggests that $500 900, 600 of 3 per cent. bonds,

circulation. He is of the opinion that the
banks will embrace the opportunity and that
it will dispel the fears for the pernanency
and safety of the present banking system
In this connection he says that the genera

seven billions of money to put down the re-
bellion ought not to be required to pay the
whole of the national debt, but that a rea-
sonable amount should be left at interest to
