Financial Ouackery."

Under the above heading the Courier
Journal comments at some length upon
the proposition Of W. w. FLANAGAN,
ESQ.,, president Of the Commercial
National Bank of New York, that
national banks should DO authorized by
law to substitute silver bullion for Gov.
eminent bonds as deposit for circula-
ton, and obtain notes thereon to the
amount OF the coin value Of such bull
lion. In the course Of its article the
er.Journal says:
"But for this little impediment 1t
would be o neat thing for the banks,
securing them free loans of AZ per cent.
more money than they would invest,
and, besides, making it their duty as
we'll as business to corner silver bull
lion and five times overpay them for
the carrying charges while holding it
for that rise to par which is simply as
certain as the sun rising"
But the Courier Journal teaches con-
stantly that silver may be brought up
to par with gold by the simple expedi-
ent of opening the minis to the free
cOinsge of the former metal. So that
silver may easily be made "as good as
gold " before it will be rendered neces-
ssry by the redemption Of the Govern
men. bonds to resort to Mr.. FLANNA-
CAMS or any other new scheme for
perpetuating the national banks. MIR.

not be obnoxious to the objection men,
toned above.
