The Currency Question,

Senator Sibin, the Republican na
tional committee chairman, wants the
payment of the national debt to cease, u
fifty year two per cent. bond to be issued
to furnish basis for the national bank
currency, these institutions to be re-
lieved from the payment of the one per
cent. tax and the bonds being therefore
made to them equivalent to three per
per cent. investment. That plan will
suit the banks.
Chairman Buckner, of the House
committee does not see the benefit of
continuing the debt for the sake Of con
tinuing the national banks. Aud when
the debt is paid off he sees that the banks
must cease to exist as national banks 10y
reason Of there being no bonds to serve
as the needed guarantee for their crcu
lation. Mr.. Buckner uader these cir
cumstauces looks to an issue Of treasury
notes directly 10y the government to take
the place of bank notes as currency.
The interesting qaestion for the ps1
pie is why the nation should pay two or
shree per cent. upon the paper currency
it uses for the purpose of inducing the
banks 10 issue it? The United
States treasury always has specie
in its vaults to answer as u basis upon
which to issue notes payable on demand
in specie. Why then should it pay banks
to issue such notes We certainly
should not maintain a debt to enable the
national banks TO issue currency. There
may be reasons urging the non-payment
of the government bonds, but this is not
one of them. Treasury notes based on
the coin in the treasury, redeemable on
demand at the sub treasures and mints,
aud not made legal tender, will give us
quite as good paper currency as that
we have from the national banks and
probably bstter in one regard at least
the government would hardly keep in
circulation the filthy paper we now are
cursed with, spreading infection in its
path, but would adopt the rule Of the
Bank of England, which nsver reissues
a note when returned to it. This ex-
tTayagance in new circulating paper is
one that the people will gladly pay for,
but which banks that issue their clrcula-
tion for profit only will never be guilty
Of For this one sin against the public
sanss and safety, bank currency is
W lrthy Of condemnation.
