Horner's Banking SIN.

Nh. EDITOR: Some Of the obiec-
-Ious urged against the " National
Bank bills Of America are to be
found below:
They are corporation notes not
Government money"
IS The Government mapufac-
lures these paper notes and loans
them only 10 the National Bank
owners, taxing their own bonds for
security, when in justice to the in
lustria, arm Of the nation the Gov
eminent should loan them to manu-
facturers, merchants, farmers. in
fact, TO all that applied for them
and produced the required Secu-
rity.'
The Government charges the
banks only ! per cent. per annum
interest for this money, when it
should charge 3 per cent, which
would be q more equitable interest.
By It's net doing so, the Govern
ment Is wronged out of the , per
cent. interest on the whole sum,
which Is 4 free gift TO the National
Banks Of 100000 per annum'-
q great wrong. But look further:
b. The National Banks loan these
same notes which they get from the
Government for I per cent, to the
industries for 6 per cent. per an
nam, or more. which all must ad-
init 70 be q great outrage against
The rights Of the industries that
produces all Of the progressive
greatness Of the country.
The Government accepts only
rs own bonds rs security for the
money il loans, when il should
also receive bullion and improved
real estate, rs these securities are
= durable and reliable as Govern
ment bonds Many of these So
called national banks" fail. and
thereby cause confusion and loss
among their depositors but their
notes pass as freely after the bank
fails as before, as. after the failure.
the Government takes the note
business in hand. sells the security,
and redeems the notes at their face
value IL legal tender money.
II these banks were Government
banks, such as my bill provides,
-here would be no broken banks,
and no money lost by depositors.

CT freedom of action in the interior,
by absorbing all The traffic along

master; he has become the indis.
pensable middleman between the
European merchant and the native

The Chinese population in Java
was formerly much more numerous
than now. In 1870 there were 200,-
600 of them in Batavia alone, in
1882 there were not more than
100000 In the whole islands.
This goes to prove that in coun-
tries where the white man is not
dependent on him for agricultural
labor, his activities in other direc-
tons may still be very useful with
out their overrunmng the country.
The conclusions to be drawn
from what / have seen of the China
man in the early days of California
Il went there in the beginning of
1S50) and what l have seen of him
subsequently in the East, are to the
effect that in countries where the
white man can live and work the
Chinaman is not, in the long run,
formidable rival to HIM. The
powers needed to sustain life on the
minimum of food are not by any
means the only ones to be reckoned
with in the struggle for supremacy.
Chinese labor seems supplementary
to white labor. 1t has not speaking
broadly, superseded 1t anywhere,
and seems little likely to do so.
Several special commissions have
sat in California for the purpose of
receiving evidence on this question,
and the tendency of that evidence
is to show that but for that labor
California would be far from afford
ing such an opening for white labor
as it does to-day.
The Chinese have opened two
doors for white labor where they
have closed one. Thus the pros
perity of California is in a large
measure due to the railroads that
have opened up the country and
given it markets. When their con-
struction began the country was
sparsely populated. and they could
not have been built but for the
Chinese. The results of their labors
are written on the surface of the
country, and they are not results
which can be taken away with them
to China.
1t is hardly worth while to note
some of the charges against China
men. They are said, for instance,
TO be offensive ard immoral. 1t is
the most difficult and invidious
thing in the world TO set up q
moral standard like this. as a rea-
son for exclusion. Moreover, it !
was strongly denied by some of the
California witnesses before the |
committee. The fault of non
assimilation lies, perhaps, quite as
much with the one as with the |
other race.
