The National Bank.

The f1ippant manner in which the financial
policy Of this country Is talking about is
amazing.
1t Is very easy to abuse existing institutions
and It Is just as easy for the most Impractical
and visionary man in the country to bring
forth dreamy schemes, which, according to
his own views, is vastly superior to anything
this country has ever known.
AS O matter of fact the National Banking
system is the best that we have ever had, and
we trust that our distinguished candidates for
Congress may not be to swift to lay bare a
great amount OF ignorance on one Of the most
important policies OF the country.
Before the war, the thousand and one wild
cat banks subjected the citizen in every part
OF the country to the greatest loss and lncon-
venience, and in travelling over the country
he had to change bis money as often as he
had to set his watch. 4 man before war;
might have pocket full of money in strange
city, and yet be scarcely able to secure &
nights lodging.
Money was shaved deeper as the bills OF the
banks were carried further from home. until
they had, in some places, but little CONNER
cial value.
The banking system, as carried on before
the war in South Carolina, was perhars as
good as any. They would own or borrow
box OF specie, and then set a printing press to
printing bills. The printing press may have
been run indefinitely, and the specie may
have been used for private purposes. Some
body got scared, that scared others, and run
would be made on the bank, and 1t would be
broke, and bill holders would be in the lurch.
1t was not until the inauguration OF the
National Banking system, that bank bill
was good in every part OF this country-was
worth as much in one place as In another.
The idea Of issuing treasury notes is objec.
tionable, and wa believe unconstitutional.
The Government, for reasons that may sug-
gest themselves, should not engage in the is
sue OF money. 1t would give Government
officials too much power TO effect not only the
markets Of the country. but the value OF
money ITSELF The Government has no more
right to go into the banking business than Il
has to run the private citizen out OF the rail.
road business.
Under existing circumstances, however,
some new plan Of banking-or ut least some
new plan of Issuing bllls-will have to be
al opted. In perhaps fifteen years the Nation
al debt will be paid, and there will be no ex-
listing National bonds with which to secure
the circulation of the banks.
1t may be that the rural population OF this
country, assisted by inexperienced Congress
Inen, may be able to improve on the present
financial policy Of the country, but we are in
clned to think that all the skill and ability OF
the most experienced bankers of the Nation
will be required to perfect new system
which may be as good as the one we now
have.
