The N National Banking system.

After the questions of taxation and
revenue, Just now the most pressing,
shall have been disposed of, assuming
that they at some time will be, the next
most urgent matter to command public
attention and call for legislation will
relate to the money Of the country,
with particular reference to the national
bank currency. This subject has made
its appearance in a casual way at every
session of congress, and at the present
session with rather more prominence
than for several years. In every dis
cussion in which the currency figured
the future of the national bank note has
received consideration. A few days ago
when the bond purchase bill was before
the senate Mr.. Sherman found opportun-
ity TO say a good deal in defense of the
national banking system, which he be-
lieves it to be the purpose of the dem
ocracy to overthrow. On that occasion
the Ohio senator said: But the ma
tional banking system has proved to be
the best that ever was adopted in the
history of mankind. 1t is copied by
other nations, and the principles upon
which it was founded, though it was es-
tablished in the midst of civil war, have
grown stronger and stronger, and its
whole life has been o. vast benefit to the
people OF this country. 1t has furnished
a local circulation in almost every town
in the United States, and this circula-
ton has fed the fountains of business
at home. 1t is the means by which
money has been made active, by
which crops have been moved, by
which trade and industries have been
carried on. Its benefits have been I'M
told to the people of the United States"
The charge that the system has cost

the country the senator denied.

The Tariff Reform club, of New York, has
issued a circular which contains the follow
ing points for the consideration of the people
of the United States:
I. That the prices of all the necessaries Of
life which are affected by tariff laws are
higher than they would be under a properly
revised tariff.
2. That the existing tariff enables combina-
tions of men. ''Trustsn and monopolies to
levy a continuous toll upon q vast number of
articles consumed by the masses, thus bcne-
fitting Il small minority at the expense of the
whole people.
3. That the amount of these exactions-be-
ing the difference between tthe prices paid
by consumers and prices which would be paid
under a proper revision of the tariff-exceeds
$500, 600, 900 a year.
4. That the wages of those engaged in the
protected industries" so called, are in no
manner increased by the tariff, and that the
artificial stimulation of prices through
TRUSTS combinations and monopolies pro-
duccs no benefit or advantage whatever TO
the workingman.
The club promises to lay the evidence Of
these facts before the voters of the country,
and it calls for volunteers to assist in carry
ing to a victorious conclusion an issue in
which the welfore of the whole people is in
yolyed.
