receipts are diminishing under the in
huence of Liyerpool's effors to hold her
trade. The sole object of the Manchester
enterprise was to secure trade that Liver
pool had monopoly of, but Liverpool is
wise enough to sacrifice portion OF its
profits rather than lose considerable por-
tiun of It's business. A 30 per cent addi-
ton to the cost of the Manchester canal
would build a waterway between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This water
way would enable ship to cover In three
DAYS distance that would require three
months by the Cape Horn route. In COM
petition with any railroad connecting the
two oceans it would save four landings of
freight. 1t would invite tonnage from
Asia. Europe. America and Australia.
But this Atlantic and Pacific canal has
not yet been constructed. A little money
has been expended in preliminary work.
but the main job has hardly been touched.
Everybody is 10 favor of the canal. but in
a country proverbial for its enterprise it
makes no progress. Congress has now an
opportunity to distinguish itself.

THE BANKERS VIEW.

A leading Chicago banker says that cur
rency should be issued by banks only. 1t
10 no more the business of the Govern
ment, he says. to be bankers than TO raise
corn or sell dry goods. This, of course. is
bankers view. He is considering the
business from business standpoint. As.
Stunning that the country requires $S00.0O0.-
600 In currency there is profit of about
S40,000.000 year in providing it. The
banks loan the currency to their custom
ers on what they consider good security.
1t is only III the cases of well-esI abished
credit that currency is loaned without col
lateral security. A profit Of this magni-
tude can afford to make currency abso-
lutely safe. No man who is required to
pledge his property as security for loan
should be exposed to the loss through fail
ure of the bank from which he had
borrowed. Neither should the ordinary
holder of currency suffer loss from like
cause. The Carlisle kind of bankers say
that their capital stock is sufficient security
not apply that principle to their custom
ers. They do not let an applicant have cur
rency on the strength of general reputa-
ton for solvency. They say. and justly.
that he may have incurred obligations of
which they have no knowledge. Accord
ingly they require the public to give them
security on special unincumbsred property
while the currency they issue on this spe-
cial property has only the general Sc
curity of the banks capital stock. 1t is
clear that the banks have got a ring in
Carlisle's nose
The morning call., 1894-12-11
THE CARLISLE PLAN.

Secretary Carlisle discusses financial
propositions on the assumption that elias
ITCHY is the one essential condition of a
national currency. The present system
affords noteholders absolute security, but
it does not afford an elastic currency.
Consequently the security element in the
plan is to be impaired to promote elasticity.
Mr.. Carlisle said in his Washington inter-
view with members of the House Com
mittee oD Banking and Currency that he
was satisfied the present law requiring the
deposit of bonds to secure circulation pre-
vented elasticity of the currency. So ne
proposes to release banks from the re-
quirement to deposit bonds and permit
them to issue notes on their capital stock.
What is a banks capital stock? II is
largely what the conscience of bankers re-
quires 1t to be. If bank is well conducted
its capital stock will correspond with the
circulating notes Issued upon it. But as
circulating notes draw current rates of
interest, there is always a temptation to
keep them out in as large amounts as is
consistent with solvency. During finan-
cial panics capital stock shrinks in yalue.
Sometimes it cannot be turned into cash
at any price. A run on a bank is almost
certain TO be fatal unless it is equally GER
tain that whatever may happen to the
bank its circulating notes are safe. Under
the present system nOteholders do not dis
turb themselves about runs on indie
pendent banks. The Government is be-
hind every note off every kind in circulation,
and no one cares to inquire further. Under
the Carlisle plan the security the note
holder has is the capital stock of the bank
and 80 per cent deposit of legal tender.
The legal tender is a kind of note about
which there can be no question of sound,
ness. but 1t is to be held In the treasury
while the people are given kind of cir.
culating note they know nothing about,
Between the Carlisle currency plan and
the Gresham Japanese treaty the admins
tration is shouldering a heavy load.

I'm THE DUMPS.

Owners of real estate in San Francisco
are sometimes impatient at the slow adj
vance of market rates, but if we have no
booms we are spared the devastation of
boom reaction. New York now seems to
be in the reaction period. The Mail and
Express recently announced number of
foreclosure sales at which property was
secured at lower price than the incum-
brance on il. The holders of the mort
cages in all cases bought the property in.
Without doubt when the depression is
passed property will recover to its former
value. But holes have been made in
many incomes by the loss of the margin
between market and mortgage valuation,

THE JAPANESE TREATY.

The Examiner on Monday makes the
following comment upon the labor clause
in the proposed Japanese treaty:
The clause as drawn gives the United States
full power to shut out japanese laborers with
out violation of treaty obligations
1t is difficult to conceive how our con-
temporary arrives at this conclusion. The
first and second articles of the treaty are
devoted to a somewhat minute dein ition
of the rights which citizens or subjects of
one nation shall possess in The other. The
dominant purpose of the two articles Is to
place Japanese in the United States and
Americans in Japan on the footing of ma
tives or foreign residents from the most
favored nation. Having stipulated for b.
solute equality in every principal respect
the conclusion is added that:
1t is understood. however, that the stlpula-
ttons contained in this and the preceding arli-
cles do not in any way affect the laws, ordi-
nanees and regulations with regard TO trade.
immigration of laborers, police and public sc.
curly which are in force or which may here
after be enacted in either of the two countries.
This permits the United States to en-
act general laws restricting imm igration.
But il prohibits the United States from
enaciing special laws restricting immigra-
lion from Japan. This is point upon
which there can be no difference of opin-
ion. If the proposed treaty becomes the
law OF the land the United States will be
open to all the japanese who may choose
to come There is nothing reciprocal in
this arrangement. A thickly settled couu-
try like Japan offers no field for American
labor. But the United States offers an
immense field for japanese labor. Ii is
difficult to speak of such a one-sided
proposition calmly. One must invoke the
widest tolerance to contend that patriotic
motives inspired the negotiation of such
treaty. During the last fourteen years
there has been a constant protest against
Chinese immigration. This protest as
Sumed such force that law was passed in
1888 prohibiting Chinese from entering
the United States in the face of treaty
privileges. The excuse was that the high
est good of the American people required
such an exercise of sovereign power. The
urgency of the danger thus averted was
justification of this assertion of national
authority. 1t exposed the United Sta es
10 war with China, but war was deemed
the least of the two evils. Now the ad-
ministration voluntarily accords to Japan
privileges former administration had
wrenched from China at the risk of war.
There are fewer people in japan than in
China, but enough in Japan to overrun
the Pacific Coast with cheap labor. If one
million come, what matters whether there
are 399, 0O0 900 or 80, 900, 900 laborers where
this 1000, 600 came from?
