NEW SYSTEM OF BANKING.
It Continues to Engage the Attention of
the House Statesmen.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-At the hearing
by the house banking and currency COM
mittcc of the several new plans for bank
ing system Secretary Carlisle presented
his bill complete and argued in its favor
as compared with the plan of Eckels.
Then Horace White presented bill. In
discussing the general question White
made this remark: 1T has been said that
there is no more reason why the govern
ment should guarantee the notes of bank
than those of Il merchant. a manufacturer
or n farmer. This would be true if the
notes of the merchant, the manufacturer
and the farmer We're allowed to circulate
"a money but not otherwise
He wanted the greenbacks retired and
said they Were u menace to business. He
held that it was the paramount duty and
right to provide for the safety of the COM
munity. c. G.. Homer, of Baltimore, advo-
Gated the Baltimore" plan. while Repre-
sentative Walker of Massachusetts,. peltei
the Baltimore man with questions and de-
clarcd that his plan would result in more
confusion than now exists. In the mean
time Horace Whites bill was being ex-
amined by the committee.
The bill is similar to the others in gen
eral plan. but differs in details. 1t does
away with United States bonds and per-
mits the issue of circulating notes on the
capital of the bank, receiving such notes
from the comptroller of the currency to
the amount of - per cent. of its paid up,
unimpaircd capital upon paying to the
treasurer in lawful money to the amount
of . per cent. of such circulating notes.
and thereafter tax at the rate of one
half of one per cent. per annum upon the
yer IF cir
year. The per cent and the proceeds of
the tax are to constitute guarantee fund
for the redemption of notes of insolvent
notional banks and the tax is to be col
lected until the fund amounts to not less
than :. per cent. of the entire circulation
issued.
In addition to the amount of the circu-
lating notes provided for each association
shall be entitled to receive from the
comptroller circulating notes to the
amount of 20 per cent of its paid up, un-
impaired capital, upon paying to the
treasurer per cent of such additional Cir
culation and the tax of * of | per cent
per annum u:,on the average amount out
standing and an additional tax at the
rate of per cent. per annum upon the
amount of such additional circulation
outstanding for the year, all of which
sums are to be a part of the guarantee
fund.
1t is provided that whenever bank notes
are issued to any association under this
act it shall be the duty of the secretary of
the treasury to cancel legal tender United
States notes and treasury notes to the
amount of 50 per cent of the bank notes
SO issued.
These are the principal points of the
bill.
