The 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 hat eve was adopted in the
history of mankind. 1t is copied by
other nations, and the principles upon
which it vas founded, though il was es-
tablished in the midst of civil war, have
grown stronger and stronger, and its
whole life has been a 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-
tion 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
told to the people of the United States"
The charge that the system has cost
and is costing anything to the people of
the country the senator denied.
The character and relations of the
banks, aud the duty of the government
with regard to them, were again dis
cussed in the senate on Monday. Sena-
tor Farwell, of Illinois, spoke on his
bill providing for the investment of cer-
tain funds in the treasury, and gave
notice OF amendments intended to
secure the continuance OF the national
banking system. One of these directs
the secretary of the treasury to issue
and sell to national banks, at par,
for United States notes, bonds of
the United States, bearing interest
at two and one-half per cent, re-
deemable after fifty years, such bonds
to he used as security for the circula-
ton of national banks; the other
amendment provides that the secretary
of the treasury may, in order to enable
the banks to maintain and increase
circulation, and to prevent their de-
struction by the purchase or payment of
the national debt, receive as security
for circulation state, county or muni-
cipal bonds bearing not less than four
per cent interest, having a market
value equal or greater than their face

The Tariff Reform club, Of New York, has
issued n circular which contains the follow
ing points for the consideration of the people
of the United States:
1. 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.
9. That the existing tariff enables combina-
tions of men. TRUSTS and monopolies TO
levy a continuous toll upon a vast number of
articles consumed by the masses, thus bcne-
fitting a 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, 900, 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-
duces 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.

been promptly paid. Senator Farwel Il
advocated the refunding Of the national
debt at two and one-half per cent, al
lowing national banks circulation
on such reduced bonds at par. OPP
position to any legislation for con-
tinuing the national banks was
voiced by Senator Reagan, Of
Texas, who declared that the banks
had been guided by a policy pc
culiarly their own and at war with the
best interests of the country" and by
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who char
acterized the bank note currency as
mushroom stuff" which had already
brought distress upon the country.
Under present conditions the banks
cannot outlive the national debt. I'm
less legislation is provided for their
continuance the limit of their existence,
as banks of issue, will be 1907, the brief
period Of nineteen years. But many of
them will not wait to reach the period
Of natural death. Undoubtedly more or
less Of them will from year to year
surrender their privilege of issuing
currency, so that it may be expected
nearly all of them will cease to have
circulation several years before they
will be forced, under existing condi-
tions, to abandon it. 1t is claimed there
is at present no profit to the banks in
this circulation. II that be so there is
no reason to suppose there will be profit
hereafter. The advancing value of the
bonds necessary to secure circulation is
a fact against the organization of new
banks. In short, all the circumstances
of the situation forbid the idea that the
national banking system will be en-
larged, but on the contrary assure its
gradual decline.
The question of universal interest to
the people is, therefore, shall provision
be made for continuing the national
banking system, or shall it be allowed
to expire and the circulation thus lost
to the country be replaced by other
forms of currency, as gold and sill
yer certificates, coin or greenbacks?
This question is surrounded with diff
culties which it will be the duty of con-
gress to wisely and thoroughly consider
when other matters of greater urgency
are out of the way.

THE death of Roscoe Conklin g will
doubtless renew discussion as to several
matters concerning which there has
been controversy. One of these relates
to his views regarding the presidential
election of 1876, and the method adopted
to determine the result. 1t was freely
claimed at the time by the democrats
that Mr.. Conkling believed Mr.. Tilden
to have been elected, and this claim
seemed to gain strength from the fact
that Conkling manifested no sympathy
with the plan of an electoral commits
sion, preserving throughout q studied
silence with regard to the election and
to that project for determining the
result. The republicans were more
solicitous regarding his opinion than
that of any other man in congress-, and
it is we'll remembered that great pres
sure was brought to bear to induce him
to make some expression on the matter.
When the electoral commission plan
was being formulated, and the greatest
anxiety prevailed throughout the coun-
try, it was reported from day to day
that Roscoe Conkling was preparing a
great speech on the subject, and never
was promised u%tterance awaited with
greater solicitudc by men Of all parties.
The speech was never delivered, and
very likely one was prepared, though
it is probable Conkling did at one time
seriously intend to speak on the matter.
Had he done so, there is very little rca-
son to doubt that it would have been in
opposition to the electoral commission,
on the ground Of its unconstitutionality
Is it not more than likely that the
counsel of General Grant dissuaded him
from doing this? The other matter of
was an understanding between Garfield
and Conkling in 1880 by which
in consideration of the latter engaging
actively in the campaign he was to be
allowed to control all appointments
under the administration, in the event
Of Garlield'S election, in New York. The
friends and adherents of Conkling have
always insisted that there was such an
agreement, and charged Garfield with
betrayal Of a solemn compact in appoint
ing Judge Robertson-an ardent sup
porter of Mr.. Blaine, who refused to be
bound by the unit rule in the conven-
ton of lSS0-collector of customs at New
York. A great deal has been said on
both sides of the controversy, but so far
as we know Mr.. Conkling never gave
any intimation that there had been such
an agreement. The inference,
however, was supported by strong
circumstances, and there are
doubtless very few who do not
believe that the price of Conkling's
support of Garfield was his control of
the New York appointments. With
regard to both these matters history
can make no authoritative statement,
since the only nan who could have
remedied all doubt was silent respect
ing them to the end. Perhaps it is
well for his own fame, and for the fame
Of others, that he was silent.

THE collapse of the American eX-
change in London and the disclosures
incident thereto, will not improve the
foreign estimate of American character
for honesty. The object of the institu-
tion was good, and had it been honestly
managed it would have been of great
service to Americans abroad and profit
able to those in charge of it, but it is
shown to have been conducted solely
with reference to plundering its confid-
ing victims, some of whom are heavy
losers by its collapse. The concern was
given a reputation by the connection
with it OF several reputable men, among
them Senator Hawley, who was the
president, but these men appear to have
really known very little about its opera
tons. There is perhaps some excuse
for their not being better in
formed regarding it, but they will
nevertheless have a share of the blame
for the collapse. Already the matter
is being referred to as likely to beadis-
advantage u the presidential chances
of Senator Hawley, foresh allowing that
in the event OF his being nominated for
either place on the national republican
ticket his connection with the exchange
would be used against him. Yet no

THE deal between the fllibusters and

explained. The fllibusters have agreed
to permit a vote to be taken upon the

tion that they can tack an amendment
to the bill to remove the existing limi-
tations upon the payment of further
claims under the captured abandoned

under this act, which are now barred,
aggregate about $40 900 900. So that if
