National Banks


A bank director asks why the DEMO
CRATIC ADVOCATE thinks the national
banks rob the people.
The DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE never
said that. but that the national bank sys-
TEN was a robbery of the people for the
benefit of capital When the national
banking system was established, Congress
misused the taxing power to destroy state
bank circulation, and virtually state banks
themselves 1t has been sail that the
taxing of state banks out of existence was
necessary To secure the floating of govern
ment bonds That was not true, for state
banks MS then conducted would not have
stood long before the national banking sys-
TEN. Because of prohibitive taxation We
can have no other banks of issue except ma
tionaI banks. We must have banks. and
the people have no other alternative than
to organize under the national banking act.
1t is not the fault of the banks that the
system is IA robbery of the people for the
benefit of capital. 1t is the result of Il law
framed in war times when the occasion
seemed to those responsible for it to de-
mand such nn act.
But that was thirty years ago. We are
dealing with the present. The govern
lnent gives to banks ninety per cent of
the face value of government bonds de-
posted to secure circulation in bank notes,
and also pays the banks about four per
cent. interest on the bonds so deposited
The whole people are taxed to pay this
four per cent, and those whose necessities
require them to borrow from banks, have
to pay in addition six per cent. more 1t
is true that if they borrowed from saw
ings bank, Il private banker or an indiyid-
ual, they would have to pay their proper
ton of the four per cent. interest on the
government bonds, and six per cent. in
terest beside-or about ten per ceut.
But what the DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE
would do, would be to remove the tax from
national banks and stop interest on bonds
deposited to secure circulation. cit would
give to banks notes 10 the full value of the
bonds, principal and premium The peo-
Die would then be relieved of the interest
on the bonds necessary for banking pur-
poses affecting considerable reduction in
tn public burden, and cutting off favor to
capital.
And the DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE would
90 a little further. 1t would prohibit
banks from retiring their circulation, unless
the intention was to 20 out Of business.
The exact figures are not before us, but
the circulation of banks has been curtailed
about one hall,-several hundred millions
Of dollars When government bonds went
up to a high premium the banks could
make more by selling them and retiring
their circulation than by maintaining it,
Che reduction of circulation produced u
contraction OF the currency that made
money scarce and dear The power to do
this is a dangerous one, and it ought 10 be
taken away

Florida on Wheels.

The Florida exhibit, en- route to the
Worlds Fair, was on exhibition 10 West
minister on Monday, and hundreds of peo-
pie went to see it, The car is admirably
arranged, and the exhibits show at glance
the products of one Of the most valuable
states Of The Union. The fruits, fish,
grasses, woods, stone, fertilizers, lime and
other products are there, and many other
things, aud the tour through the country
will do more TO attract attention to that
wonderful state than exhibits at thousand
worlds fairs. At the Chicago fair, foI
instance, there is so much to see, no visitor
can scarcely give more than glance at
state exhibit. With FLORIDA on Wheels
there is no competition aud the exhibit
absorbs Al. attention wherever il stops.
