AN ELASTIC CURRENCY.

Comptroller Eckels properly declares the
first requisite of a good bank note issue to
be immediate convertibiIity to coin upon
presentation. Having planted himself
upon this impregnable position. he pro-
poses to subordinate first requisite to
second requisite. Admitting that there
could be no better plan than the preseni
currency system for insuring a note-holder
against loss, the Comptroller argues that the
present plan should be so changed as 10
impair security for the benefit of greater
elasticity.
Under the present plan banks are re-
quired to deposit bonds as security for the
circulating notes they receive from the
Government. 10 reference to this require
ment Mr.. EckeIs says:
1t is respectfully suggested that not only as
good but better results would be tianed II the
present bank act were amended by repeating
the provision thereof requiring each bank as a
prerequisite TO entering the system and issuing
bank note currency to deposit Government
bonds. In lieu of such provision should be sub
stituted one permitting the banks to issue cir
culating notes on their assets to an amount
| equal to at last so per cent OF their unim.
| paired capital.
This is in fact an astonishing PROPOSE
ton. 1t would revive the financial system
under which banks went to pieces with.
out capital in sight to redeem their notes.
| The difference between the proposed sys-
tenn and the one in existence before the
war is that the latter let the loss fall upon
the holders of notes, while the former
throws out some happy intim atoms thai
the Government may safely guarantee the
payment of the notes of the banks. Mr.
| Eckels says that the General Government
ought to be wholly free from the direc
issuing and redeeming of notes to pass al
money among the people. It would seem
TO follow that If the Government is 10 be
free from issuing notes and denied The
profit of their circulation, it should aist
be free from obligations to redeem notes
the banks may fail 10 redeem.

NO CONTEST.

The idea of contesting the election of
Mr. Budd has been relinquished. The
conditions were not favorable. Mr.. Budd
polled his large vote in this city, where the
opposition controlled the machinery of
election. While it may seem unnatural
that the machinery should work such re-
suits, the fact cannot be we'll disputed
There Is some ground in the vote as an
nonncsd to justify the conclusion that
there was not much fraud in the election
after all. at least so far as the contest for
Governor was concerned. 1t is reasona bic
to suppose that if the machine could ma
terially affect results the favorite candi-
date of the boss who runs the machine
would not run behind his ticket.
