A PROBLEM FOR BANKERS.

PROBLEM FOR BANKERS. The@American Bankers association is to l hold it's annual convention at Saratoga on the l 18th and 14th of next month, and the meet 1 ing bids fair to be unusually interesting. Among the subjects for discussion suggested are: The causes of the recuperative strength l of our finance and commerce, the perils and safeguards of our banking system, the rela- | ion of the banks to the treasury, the present aspects of the silver question, the indications of the foreign demand for our securities, the prospective exports and the international ex- changes, the decline in the rate of interest, the changes in the basis of bank circulation the comparative growth of national, State and private banks in various sections of the coun- try, the fluctuations in the treasury balance of gold and silver, the later tendencies of usury penalties, the best means of obtaining sound bankruptcy legislation, the guaranties against dedication and breaches of trust, the growth of direct trade between the West and Europe, with it's influence on American banks and their methods, the proposed improve ments in bills of lading, the lessons from the recent panic comparing it with former none
 
 If the bankers discuss all or many of these subjects they will have enough to do. But the Worcester Spy suggests another subject which might well engage their attention. It is this: With what form of security will it be best to replace the deposit of national bonds a guaranty for the circulation of our national banks? These bonds are so much reduced in amount and so high in price that the bank circulation under the present limitation yields scarcely any profit. They are redeemed at the rate of hundred millions year, and the time is not far dis tant when it will be impossible for the banks to obtain them. The Spy says: It should not be too great task for the wisdom of the associated bankers to devise some substi- tute for the present plan of securing the circulation of the banks which will be equally safe and always available. Of course we are not ignorant that several schemes have been proposed for this purpose, but we believe none of them has received the ap- proval of the banking interest. If their sociation can agree upon some scheme which commands the confidence of all, it might, before the bonds are exhausted, be accepted by congress. But financial legislation of i'm Sportance makes slow headway in congress, and it requires three or four years at least to get it understood, and as many more to get it safely past the Instructions of prejudice and demagogism and the pressure of political measures.
 This suggestion is well worth the attention of the bankers. The national bank system must of course be retained and some solu- tion of the circulation problem must be found
