National Banks and Paper Currency.

EDIroR GAzETTE:-In connection with ]. NJ
Horner's article on National Banks the subioined
item from statistical reports of the United States
Bank Commissioners is in order.
National Bank Failures.-Since the establish
ment of the system, more than twenty years ago,
only ninety national banks have failed. and the
loss to creditors has not exceeded 100000, the
average loss being about seventy per cent in each
case. The average annual loss to depositors by
the failure of national banks has been only one
twentieth of one per cent This is the state of af
fairs Notwithstanding the apparently infalhble
arrangements made by the United States Govern
ment TO secure depositors against loss by the APP
P0intment of Bank Commissioners 10 examine the
accounts of each bank periodically. It is well
known that the banks unite TO defeat the intent of
government by loanlng TO each other money TO eI-
hibit to the commissioners and thus cause them to
report that such banks are solvent and have CON-
piled with the laws.
Mr. Horner is right when he states that the coin
ing OF money and issue OF paper money is one of
the prerogatlves of a people and the profits on
such are the perquisite of that people and should
not be delegated to any individual or company OF
capitalists. Why should such powers be granted
to any oneI Because forsooth it is asked for?
Should we not profit by the dear bought experience
of our neighborss If there is n necessity for pa
per money let our government issue it. If coin
is wanted let cur Government 60 into the market
and buy its bullion and coin or have it coined and
let the profit on both accrue TO the Government.
the people. Let US use the same common sense in
managing the affairs Of the nation as we would in
looking out for our own private interests, and not
trust them to the management of any clique of
men no matter how trustworthy the present pro
posing parties may be. Even be they purer at
heart than the driven snow there may arise an
other Pharaoh who knew not Joseph. Let the Go
yernment make what laws it will 10 secure depos-
itors if it is found that national banks find means
to hoodwink the executors of the Law. There is
every reason to prevent the establishment of a
bank of issue of paper money. There can be no
benefit to the people at large by allowing any cor
poration the power to issue paper money. There
Is no more solid basis Of ali mercantile transac-
tions than that OF gold with silver as subsidiary
and Why should We seek or allow less solid basis

A Reply o shsriR ssv.ranes.

EDTToR GAzETIE:-In reference TO a communica-
tion from Mr.. L. Severance, which appeared in
your paper Of J7ly End, the Finance Committee
must do Mr. Severance the justice 10 say that the
item Of expenditures for incidentals out OF appro-
priation for criminal expenses, contains several
errors Shich crept in, partly in correcting proofs
for the printer. The amount which the COMMITTEES
found from the statements Of the sheriff Of Hawaii
as having been spent for ineiden.als vas x1l56.72
and not S1546-72- The amount allowed him for
incidentals was 800. This was nearly al ezpen-
ded before July 81, 1858, and after that time be
drew on the appropriation for Police Of Hawaifi
for such expenses, aud not on the appropriation
for Criminal Expenses So that the item should
read aside from the amount he had received for
incidental expenses be paid out upon this account
$1009.6l from the appropriation for Police Of Ha-
vail In regard 70 the vouchers which vere miss
ing the committee were not informed that vouchers
vera kept in the pfhce Of Sheriff Of Hawaii, but
were presented With bundle Of voucher5 which
wers claimed 70 b all there were IN the depart
ment and Of course could only report accordingly.
As the committee state there vas a marked
difference between The accounts returned b. the
sheri9s OF Maui and Kauai and those Of the sheriff
Of Hawaii and ua hops the interest Of the latter
has been awakened % that hereafter his accounts
may compare faTorably WITH those Of tho others.
