The National Banks and Currency.

Mr.. EDITOR: My purpose in using
your columns was.to correct errors in the
supposed large profits made by National
Banks in using national currency. In
doing so it has been made to appear by
undenied facts and figures that these
banks do not make money at the expense
of the Government. In support Of it q
statement has been made that these banks
have paid over $751;, 100000 taxes to the
United States since their organization.
That they receive nothing from the United
States except interest on the bonded debt,
which she had to pay to the former bond.
holder from whom the banks bought
them. That the Chemical National Bank,
the wealthiest does not get dollar for
circulation. nor dollar OF deposits from
the United States. That the National
Bank of Darlington has surrendered its
charter and taken a State charter. That
all the new banks are taking tho State
charter. That the National Bank Of An
derson has reduced the $4,000 circulation
to $l1,25O. Ii profitable this ba nix made q
mistake, and now makes one dollar out of
haps, it is not willing to change large,
well established business by reason of a
small loss on one branch Of it.
These articles have suggested that a
change must take place, and that sys-
tenn of State Banking would be better.
While entertaining these views it is not
deemed incumbent to assail any other
system which is advocated by Others. If
"B.n has shown that the National Banks
are not pensioners on the Government,
his object has been accomplished. If some
still remain in doubt he hopes that they
will investigate more closely.
In this connection pardon me for allud-
ing to the close and friendly business re-
lations which has always existed here
between the National Bank and the
farmers. On it's organization it adopted
new system of lending money in small
sums to farmers, and encouraged them to
buy supplies for cash. It has proven mu-
tually beneficial, and has been steadily
growing in volume for the seventeen
years Of its existence. B.

Wants Information.

IThe following communication was sent
to us two weeks ago, but owing to sickness
and the great pressure of business we have
not had time to make an investigation and
give the proper answers to the questions
asked by our esteemed correspondent. We
hope some one who has the time and who
is familiar with the statistics will give the
information desired.-EDIToRs.
MIR. EDlroR. Will you please publish
the following, and give Us answers to the
questions. You remember in seventy six
one of the great battle-cries was that the
Radicals had too many State officers. and
they were getting too big salaries. Will
you please tell us how many they have
been reduced, and how much these salaries
have been reduced. saw it stated several
years ago in a paper that the Democrats
had several hundred more officers, or were
paving salaries to several hundred more
than the Radicals had. Is it so? Tcil US
how mich royalty, if any, was paid on
Phosphate Rock while the Radicals were
running the governments. mean for one
year and how much is paid now for one
year. How much the assessed value OF
the property that the State tax was based
on for one year during the Radical Gov
ernment, how many mills on the dollar
was the State tax for one year, also, what
was the assessed value Of the property of
the State for last year, and how many
mills on the dollar for State tax.
would be glad To have these questions
answered, il il is not asking too much OF
Won. / wish to know if there has been re-
form, and where they have reformed at.

BowpEN, Denver, s. c.

Our friend of the Bank, in trying to
teach capitalistic finance to the readers of
the INTELLIGENCER, continually brings
forward ideas and arguments that have
been brought forward by the same class
oflncn, and refuted time aud again in the
National Economist, but re suppose that
they will be brought forward until the
thing is settled, consequently believers in
the Alliance doctrine will have 10 contin.
ue 10 refute them. In the first place we
don't believe that it is correct principle
to issue money on bonds. The reader
will see more about this in another article
in this column. In the second place Col.
"B" says, in speaking of the volume of
currency, TT makes no difference if the
bulk is Oh deposit or in pocket" 1t does
make difference, and a big difference at
that. Money that is boarded by the
Government, banks, corporations or indi-
viduals, as is done on various pretexts, is
no more in circulation than if it was in
the bottom Of the Atlantic ocean. In
the third place he says that in 1866 cotton
averaged 27 cents per pound in Anderson.
The records show that middling upland
cotton averaged for the same period in
New York 43 cents. It would be inter.
esting to the farmer to know, even at this
late day, what became Of the odd 16
cents.

Dear Sir: I see from the News and
Courier you propose to be in Anderson
on the 18th, and propose to ask the
people to hear you in vindication Of your
course in this campaign and 10 hear
what you shall have 10 say of Mr.. Till
man to his face. Now, write to say to
you, in behalf of the good people OF
Anderson, that if yon are candidate for
any Office in the gift of this people, then
we would be glad to hear you but, If
not, then the press is open for you to
explain your position, and if there is a
difference between yourself and Mr..
Tillman, you know where 10 find him.
The course you propose cannot result in
any good to yourself or to the Democracy
of this county, and might be the means
of row and bloodshed in our midst. I
therefore insist that you desist from the
course proposed, and notify you now that
T shall do my utmost to prevent anything
that shall be calculated to produce dis.
cord among us. Yours respectfully,
A. G. LATIMER.

The valuation per mile Of all the rail-
roads in the State has been increased
except one, the Northeastern, and the
new figures of the State Board Of Equali-
Ezation make an increase in the State of
nearly s2,50o,00O in the valuation placed
ION railroads for the purposes of taxation.
4 The increase on the Richmond and
! SDanyille roads alone amounts to s1,O62,-
1000, and this included raise of $500
per mile OF the Spartanburg and Union,
an increase Of $4,000 per mile on the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta, and
the increase Of the Blue Ridge from
!: $4,000 to $4,000 per mile. The Compa.
MES claim the valuation made by the
7 Board is beyond the actual value of the
Roads, and that it is impossible to run
them with any profit.

Mr.. A. G. Latimer, Belton, S. c.
Dear Sir: Your favor 22d inst. is at
hand. I must admit its contents sur.
prise to me. I had not suspected that
plain, honest speech in reiutation Of
slanderous charges, made in my absence
before people to whom /
am little known without the least
pertinency to the issues under dis.
cussion, would 30 offend 'good people"
as to bring on a "row" which might re.
suit in "bloodshed." I am unwilling to
believe the good people of Anderson 80
backward in civilization, so devoid of the
instincts and principles ofjustice, 80 out
of the way of the ends of true Democra.
cy, as to refuse to hear both sides of all
political controversies with calm dignity,
and to accord grossly and gratuitouslY
reviled citizen o word in his own defence.
But confess, frankly, that your declar-
play of gravity with which the assembly
at your recent meeting, witnessed the
mannishness on the stage when grown.
up person was calling for some one to
look him in the eye and asserting him.
self not afraid of this, that and the other,
like 16.year old on base ball ground,
is not reessuring. Surely there was q
broad smile on the faces of "the good"
while all this was passing, which the
Reporter failed to write.
However, until the contrary fully ap-
pears by subsequent occurrences will
not be persuaded that you represent any
large body of your people in Anderson
when you bespeak rowdyism for them.
shall have to risk myself at your mass
meeting on June Is, though l feel that I
must promise you under the circumstan-
ces that, if your fears and misgiyings are
generally entertained, / shall not venture
40 address to the crowd, lest [ become in
some measure responsible for blood.let.
ting among a people 30 excitable and
with so little self.control. fl find such
to be the situation, I can patiently bide
my time until Mr.. Tillman comes to
Sumter. Here my friends and myself
and all the good people will see to it
that he is fully and fairly heard in pre-
senting his charges against me. shall,
of course, be granted an unrestrained
reply. This is all I have asked or wish.
We, of Sumter, unfortunately have lew
rowdies in our midst, but trust au eff.
cient police force will keep down any
disturbing demonstrations on their psIrt
extend you cordial invitation to
attend the Sumter meeting that you may
witness the conspicuous fairness with
which your unnamed" candidate for
Governor will be treated by his deter.
mined opponents.

The unYeiling of General Lees monu.
9ment in Richmond last week was one of
the largest gatherings ever assembled in
the South. It was one OF the warmest,
most enthusiastic and altogether appro-
PIRATE meetings that has called together
sthe surviving veterans of the ''lost cause.".
IF any mans memory ought to be rever-
enced, respected and perpetuated by the
Confederate Survivors, the memory of
Robert E. Lee should. It is estimated
{ that one hundred thousand people were
present at the unveiling. South Carolina
was given the place of honor, and was
well represented by large delegations
from all over the State. Messrs. ]. L.
Mauldin, F. T. Wilhite and Col. J. D.
Maxwell, of Anderson, were present.
They speak Of their trip as indescribable
and peculiarly pleasant one. They
term it the grandest gathering they ever
attended. The ceremonies were i'm
posing, and the speeches we're able and
timely. The press of the whole country
!, has spoken in glowing terms of the
occasion, with very few exceptions and
these exceptions generally embrace men
Of such stripe as never see anything good
in the South or its aspirations. All we
can say to such is, "If you don't like it,
don't take it." We will go on all the
same with our work of love. 1t is no
annoyance to the South to have such
little dogs bark at us. We love peace,
but ne do not want to purchase it at the
cost of neglecting our duty to our honor
ed and brave fellow.citizens who led US
in our struggle for liberty. The name of
Robert E. Lee should be cherished by
the whole South. Long may his memory
live in the hearts of our people.

FARM1NGToN, May 26, 1890.
Editor Of the Register: Be kind
enough to allow me the use of your c9l-
umns to reply to those of my fellow citi-
zens who have expressed a desire for me
to be candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination of our party.
In the expression of those wishes as
they reached me, slong with the high
personal compliment conveyed, there is
the ring of call to duty. I accept both,
and will give my best efforts to deserve
the one and meet the demands of the
other.
This is perhaps enough. But that
there may be no misrepresentation SO far
as I am concerned, permit word as to
the present status as see it.
trust and believe that we are all still
unit as to common sentiment and
desire for the best interests of the State
and its people, and the great common
purpose to guard and promote them.
All agree that our Democratic organiza
tion is the only agency through which
this sentiment can be practically operated
and this purpose effected by US. Our
differences of opinion are confined to the
ways and means to be used by our party
for their accomplishment. Where such
differences exist, some of US are certainly
in error, and possibly none of US are
absolutely right.
In this emergency our Democratic
authorities have arranged for the canvass
of the State, certainly not to foment a
family quarrel or that partisan strife and
personal scramble for Office which is
alleged to prevail in conventions of poll
ticians, but for the fair and square sub
mission of our differences, freely and
frankly stated, to the people themselves,
for final adjudication and adjustment. If
they can be submitted calmly and dis
paasionately and the people bring to bear
on their public business that discretion
which they exercise in their private affairs,
the decision reached, while it must
necessarily overrule the views Of some of
US, will be worthy of a free people and
command the respect and cordial support
of all.
But should it be otherwise, and we
become involved in partisan strife, and
allow passion and prejudice to take pos
session of our reason and judgment, the
decision will still be the best that we, as
people, are for the time capable Of, and it
must be sustained with unanimity. Any
clean cut division of us will surely result
in graver consequences than unanimity
in even error for season can bring upon
us. Hedged about by unprecedented dan
ger and difficulty, re must sink or swim
together. We must stick to the shir :.
it requires us all to even control -
steering gear, and as long as We do that,
We retain the power, if We will exercise
it, to rescue her from dangers to which
we ourselves may inadvertently or reck.
lessly subject her.
I shall attend as many of the meetings
appointed by our committee as practica-
Bile, and direct my effort to the discussion
of the situation in its bearings on our
common interests, in the hope that may
contribute to that rational agitation which
will tend to throw the light of
truth upon it, and enable us to perform
intelligently our duty as sovereign citi-
zens. Yours respectfully,
JOHN BRATToN.
