CIRCULATING NOTES TO NATION
Al BANKS.
ID BAWhS.

Al BANKS.
On the Goth anniversary Of the birth Of
Kansas as a State Of the American Union,
the people Of this Commonwealth had an
opportunity to learn that on the day pre-
vious, Hon. George w. E. Dorsey of
Fremont, Nebraska, introduced bill in
TO the National House Of Representatives
in the interest Of National Banks, whose
text Is this:
"That upon any deposit already or
hereafter made Of any United States bonds
bearing interest in the manner required
by law, any national banking association
making the same shall be entitled to re-
Ceive from the Comptroller Of the cur
rency circulating notes Of different de-
nominations, in blank, registered and
Countersigned rs provided by law, notex-
ceeding in the whole amount the par
value Of the bonds deposited: ProDSded,
That at no time shall the total amount Of
such notes issued to any such association,
exceed the amount at such time actually
paid in Of its capital stock. And that all
laws and parts Of laws inconsistent with
the provisions of this act be, and the same
are hereby repealed"
Thereupon Mr.. Bland of Missouri,
asked Mr.. Dorsey If he would agree to
have this bill lconsidered in the Committee
Of the whole on the state Of the Union.
To which inquiry Mr. Dorsey respond
ed:
81 do not think that is necessary. |
will state, however, to the gentleman from
Missouri that am willing to give him
such time as he may think proper for dis
Cussion."
The bill above reported, was substi
tute for bill No. 537, prepared by the
Committee on Banking and Currency and
Mr.. Bland stated.
1--WE are to-day without rules for the
business Of this body, and have beer
during the whole session. We have nc
rule providing calendars by which mem
bers can be advised Of the business before
the House. simply wanted to make
that statement in view of the fact tina
many gentlemen desire that this bill shall
go over"
Nevertheless the House voted to 90 in
to the immediate consideration Of The
bill by a vote Of yeas, 141; nays, 110; no
voting, "A; Mr.. Perkins of Kansas voteC

products, the prayer Of those petitioners
has been denied"
WHY THE DIscRIMINATIONA AGAINST CREDIT
BoNDs2
Mr.. Bland, undoubtedly discovering no
wisdom in banking on the Nations in
debtedness, remarked:
81 ,iant to know why Government
bond 10 more sacred than bond upon the
farm Of any citizen 30 that II shall be held
as basis for issuing circulation upon the
loan OF public money to these banking
associatlonsH Whatever objections there
may bd to the principle that the Govern
ment shall furnish the people with loans
on their property we are responsible, FOR
we teach It to them by such bills az this,
providing for the Issue TO these banking
associations Of circulation equal TO the
amount of their deposits. We are re-
ceiving petitions from the people demand
ing that their wheat shall be taken on de-
posit In warehouses and Government loans
made upon II to the extent Of the wheat de-
posted as well as on corn and upon cotton
and upon land itself. The people Of this
country do not see why gentlemen should
vote for this bill, and yet deny the right to
loan to the people upon the products Of
their farms or upon the farms themselves.
We have the report Of the secretary Of
the treasury to this congress that the sur
plus money in the treasury has been paid
out for the purchase Of bonds as rapidly
as 1t could be without enhancing the value
Of the bouds tosuch an extent there would
be no profit In the purchase. do not
think the history Of the National banking
associations In this country warrants con.
gress in extending any pecuniary privilege
TO them"
"REsToRE THE CIRCULATION TO THE
PEOPLE"
MIR. Bland evidently believes with
Thomas Jefferson when he wrote Il
William Epps, "Restore the circulation o
money to be issued by the people--th'
Government TO whom 1t itbelongs," for h,
deliberately declares:
81 do not believe the control the nation
al banks have taken heretofore of tn,
currency Of the country commends then
as safe custodans in the use Of the gov
ernment money. l believe in the ole
principle that the government should is
sue treasury notes in the place of nationa
bank note circulation. If there Is prof
in circulating notes, then let the peopl
have that profit, instead Of giving It I,
these banking associations lam in favo
of system Of currency issued by th,
government Of the United States Itself

Topeka KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY s, 1890.

"The national banks Of the country now
hold $t45,0OO,0O0 Of the bonds, and upon
that they have circulating notes to the
amount Of &l28,0OO,0O0. The per cent
bonds now cost 126-consequently the
hardships that rest upon banks in this re-
spect. On January 1, 1874, the capital Of
the National banks was 1890 900; they
had in bonds, $303,0O00OO-c circulating
medium, $349,0O0,0O0. On Nov. 1,
1889, the capital was $02O0O0,0OO;
bonds on deposit $145,0O0,0OO-
circulation, S12s,0OO,0OO. Hence, while
the capital Of the banks has incresed
$121,OOO,O00, the circulation has decreased
$220,O00,000; consequently there is that
much less money in the country which Is
necessary for the business interests Of the
country, and while there was anet gain of
109national banks for the year 1S80-there
now being in operation, 8,3l9 in the coun.
try, to pass this measure will encourage
the national banks, and other private
banks and state banks TO go into the ma
tional system, and | ask the House, as a
matter of Justice to the banks to pass this
bill"
Mr.. Dorsey, naively stated that in the
organization of national banks for 1889,
Nebraska was the third state-Pennsyl-
vania being secondhand while 7 per cent
was the lawful rate of interest in Nebras-
ka, banks in Omaha charge 10 per cent.
He thought an hours time was enough to
satisfy the opponents ofthe bill to present
their views in opposition to it, therefore
he kindly () agreed not to move the pre-
vious question "until those who wish to
speak on the other side have had II rea-
sonable time for discussion"
Thereupon Mr.. Bland was permitted to
say:
at seems to me, Mr., Speaker, to be an
inopportune measure at this time wher
our Treasury is overaowing with sur
plus, and the only legitimate means Of
getting that surplus into circulation is by
the purchase of United States bonds. i
| were to give this bill its proper charac
ter, in my opinion it ought to be entitled
a bill to bull the bonds of the United
States in the markets against the govern
ment. BY this bill it is proposed to Civ,
the privilege TO the nationsl banking as
sociation of issuing 10 per cent more cir
culation than they can now do unde
existing law on the deposit of bonds ii

IL proposes to give to every banking
institution loan Of 81 900 on the deposi
of United States bond for that amour
belonging TO the bank, and yet when th
people in the great northwest and in tn,
south have been petitioning In this, a
as they did in the last Congress, when w

their circulation by reason OF being told by
the banking interests, pending the consid-
Grafton Of that bill that such On enactment
would cause them TO surrender their cir
culatlon and thereby bring a financial
panic upon the people Of the country.
Yet the succeeding congress passed a
similar measure, and 8 per cent bonds
went Immediately TO a premium, and now
these institutions would be glad TO have
the whole national debt refunded at 3 per
cent interest, 80 that they could bank
upon It,

Passage Of Bill Enlareing the Rights Of
Homesteaders-A Tirescm. Debate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The Senate met
at 10 o'clock this morning.
Morgan gave notice that he would call up
the Dolph resolution respecting an abridg-
ment of the right Of suffrage tomorrow
morning.
The first bill on the calendar, one enarg-
ing the rights of homesteaders on public
lands. was passed. 1t provides that when
parties settled opposite unsurveyed lands,
and therefore were obliged to take up less
than 100 acres, they may extend their hold
ings, not to exceed 100 acres.
The bill subjecting oleomargarine to the
operation Of State laws, Paddock's Pure
Food Bill and Conger's Pure Lard Bill, hav-
ing come up in their order, were laid aside
and the Senate proceeded to the considera-
tion of the Elections Bill. Colquitt took the
floor to discuss the bill.
Colquitt of Georgia, Wilson of Maryland
and Vance of North Carolina spoke at some
length against the bill.
At the close of Vance's speech, the Vice
President announced the question to be on
Graves amendment to strike out the house
to house clause. A vote was not reached,
however. as Butler spoke in support of the
amendment he had suggested several days
ago, providing that Supervisors, canvassers
and other election officers be regarded as
ministerial and not as judicial officers.
Hoar opposed the amendment and long
debate ensued; before it ended the Senate
went into executive session and soon ad-
journed.

THE OLD WORLD.
Bismarck Has Not Commenced His Me-
moifS-Harfiase Postponed.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-There is no truth in
the sensational stories about quar-
rel between Prince Bismarck and
Emperor William, respecting the me-
moirs which ex-Chancellor Bismarck
proposes to publish, from the fact that Prince
Bismarck has scarcely completed the ar
rangement of his vast accumulation of
papers of all sorts and descriptions, so that
he has not yet begun to write or
dictate his contemplated work. There can
be no controversy in the future on this sub
ject between the Emperor and Prince Bis
marck, because the Prince is perfectly
aware that by law which was passed
by himself, it is criminal offense, high
treason, in fact to publish or quote from
any state paper whatever, or to reveal any
state or ministerial secret without the special
permission of the reigning sovereign.
Color is certainly lent to the rumor that
the marriage between Princess Margaret
and her cousin, the somewhat impetuous
Duke of Orleans, is at any rate postponed
by cOolness which has evidently sprung
up between the Duke and the brother of his
finance, Prince Henri, since the return of
the latter from his Chinese travels.
Empress Eugene is reported to be heavy
loser by the recent depreciation in South
American securities, as she has invested
very largely In them.

the Secretary of the Treasury for the
names of the banks in which public
moneys are deposited, the reasons for max
ing the deposits and the rate of interest,", if
any, given in return for the use Of the pub

After the advocacy of the measure by
Herman. Lanham, Townsend of Colorado,
Savers, Mills and Perkins, and a criticism
upon it by Holman and Kilgore, the motion
was agreed to and the bill passed. The bill

These men had suffered untold sorrows, but
there were all over this country men who
had suffered horrors equally as atrociOus as
at Libby, Andersonyille and every prison
south of the Potomac. These men had come
time and again and asked Congress to give
them pittance. So far their prayers had
been refused, and the leading papers of
New York City had been engaged in bring
ing their batteries to bear upon public Senti-
ment in order to turn it against granting
pensions of any kind whatever. at the
same time the representatives of New York
City came here and asked the Government
to build monument to commemorate men
who needed no monument to tell the story
of their patriotism.
Sweeney of Iowa said the present was no

A Pension Attorney Before the Raum Invss
tigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Lemon, PEN
sion attorney, was before the Raum Investi-
eating Committee to-day. He testified that
he never recommended to Commissioner
Raum the appointment of any person in his
employ. He had never spoken to Commits
sioner Raum about the appointment or pro-
motion of any person, and had never directly
or indirectly requested any other person to
secure an appointment from the Pens ion
Office. Witness said ne had never indorsed
any note for Raum except one for S12, 2,0OOon
the Bank of the Republic.
Cooper asked how much Raum's paper
was discounted, when and on whose in
dorsements. Lemon emphatically declined
to answer on the ground that it was none of
C0oper's business, nor the business Of the
committee.
In response to further questions. Lemon
stated that Raum never came to him for his
influence to secure the discOunting OF any
papers.
