- ,ssuing ability equal TO all posslpic
legitimate wants. With as many o,"et-
ont laws regulating issues as we nave

essential qualities; and the result would
/ be general discrimination aEa1nst 'he
circulation OF State banks, with equal
injury TO the banks themselves and to
the public who might otherwise pehehl
| from the use OF the notes.
| This is not what Mr.. Stone would have
written. and 1t is not what is dictated
by sound principles either OF finance or
government The demand that the CEN
trail government shall exercise an inspec-
ton Of and control over the paper cur
rency Of a people is a form OF the hate
full AMI psstiferous doctrine of the So
calist. 1t Is part Of the general idea
that men are not capable of making their
own bargains, but must have a good
paternal government always at elbow TO
watch each bargain and see that the
child is not cheated.
Paper promises to pay money are not
money. but are only substitutes for
m 1ney. and they are traded off and
snapped for just as wheat or corn Is.
The true theory is that the individual
must protect himself by his own care
and judgment when he takes corn, and
equally also when he receives paper
promises to pay. In starting a banking
system that is based upon this idea some
wild cat banks may get into opera

mites such a thing Is hardly possible),
and some persons may have worthless
notes left on their hands. But banking
with issues Of notes Is like every other
business. To be sound and healthy 1t
has to be built up by the processes Of
evolution. under the influence of the
laws Of demand and supply. 1t only
needs to be left alone, and men will soon
begin TO use the notes Of those banks
only which are well managed and UNI
questionably sound. and the wild cat
ters" will have to withdraw their notes
and go out Of business for want Of Gus
toners. A government superintendent
may give a monetary credit and circula-
ton to the notes Of bank. but their
credit is finally determined, without re-
gard to the government officers, by the
opinion men have of the resources of the
bank and the way in which it is man
aged.
Government inspection Of banks IS So
oialism. and legacy left us by the war.
Sound banking and sound bank notes

hampered and embarrassed because a few
swindlers may possibly get in their work.

REPEAL WITH INSPECTION.

We are very sorry to learn from the
Washington chit-chat that the Demo
cratic caucus on State banks is not
thought to have helped along the cause
of repeal of the 10 per cent. tax. Those
who attended the caucus insisted on an
unconditional repeal of the tax, where
as many Democratic members who are
willing TO repeal it if superintendent
of the state banks is left TO the Federal
Government refused TO attend the eau
Gus because they are In the minority,
but would have been bound by its action
if they had gone into it. 1t is thought
in Washington that more conciliatory
course on the part OF the extreme re-
Dealers would have got committee
representing both views to frame law
that might have passed. We are. our
selves, for the unconditional repeal
of the law, but we would much rather
see 1t repealed with Federal control left
to the Government than for the law TO
be left as 1t is. 1t is an unmitigated
evil as it stands now. Repeal on the
terms suggested would fail TO give all
the relief that the people are entitled
to, but would be very great relief.
Two years ago David NJ. Stone was
the editor OF the New York Journal Of
Commerce. The agitation for the repeal
Of this tax may be said TO have begun
about that time from a short article
written by him, not for his paper, but
over his own name I'm a review. His
towering reputation in finance and politi-
cal economy gave such an impetus TO
the movement that the revival of agita-
ton for our ante-bellum rights may be
fairly said to have been in that article.
II does not contain one word on the
necessity for Federal supervision of the
State banks. 1t is for unconditional re-
peal.
Since then he has retired from the
position Of editor Of the Journal Of
Commerce. and, although that paper is
still edited with great ability. it is no
disparagcment to its present manage
ment to say that its articles do not aver
editorial article a day or so back. COM
menting on the state of affairs at Wash
ington in this connection. the Journal of
Commerce says:
The mere unconditional restoration of
the right of issue to the State banks
would, however be a very dubious con-
tribution towards such settlement.
Ii would rather be the means OF making
confusion worse confounded. Alone and
without new provisions. the repeal of
the tax would simply reegate us bacl,
10 the conditions that yielded money
everywhere distrusted. often rejected or
worthless and, away from the point OF
issue, subject TO discounts and commits
sions. Do the caucus statesmen imagine
the country will thank them for a boon.
which. thus unconditional, would add a
new element Of debasement and confu-
sion to our present incongruous currency
arrangements? The country will be
satisfied with no bsnk-note system which

heard a tradition of the wildcat issues
Of ohio In 1912, and think the present
National Bank system is the only re-
deemer through which our currency can
be saved. They think the notes must be
redeemed in Washington, the deposits must
be kept in New York. or perdtion will
result that we must continue to pay tri-
butte to the large cities OF the North:
that there Is no such thing as local
values or credit or honesty which can
be recognized, and that the rate of in
terest must always be double In the
country towns what it is In New York
Home rule in finance is a bugbear TO
the National Bank fanatic. IL the Popu-
lists could succeed in depriving National
banks of some Of their exclusive privi-
leges and substituting safe State banks
Of issue they would atone for some Of
their wild follies. But men OF business
experience Gnd common sense ought
not to follow the blind teachings Of those
who have not learned the A b c Of
business.
The National banks can make dividends,
but they can never supply an elastic
currency. Population and wealth Will in
crease while the currency OF National
banks dimnishes. They only live on the
1O-per cent. tax. Repeal that and business
revives, money becomes safe, available,
and cheap; continue the tax and we con-

DEFICIENCY OF ANDIDATEs.

The list OF candidates which will be
voted for at the coming primary election
shows that in Madison and Monroe wards
only two candidates offer in each ward
for the Board of Aldermen, where three
are required.
In every ward. except Clay and Madi-
son. there is a deficiency of candidates
for the City Committee-a most impor-
taut body.
There are no candidates at all for any
Office from Jackson ward.
This situation presents an awkward
dilemma to our party managers. II seems
TO us that it can best be met by extend
irg the time a few days for further ac-
cession of candidates. When the vacan-
cies are known there will no doubt be
suitable men found to fill them.
IL won't do either to give up the pri-
mary or 10 have an incomplete ticket.

The 37th birthday of Mrs. Abner S. Potter
on Thursday, Feb. 22d, was remembered by
friends, neighbors, and relatives to the mum
Der of nearly 100, from Johnson, Hyde Park
and other towns, making their appearance in
early evening. The time was very pleasantly
passed with music, dancing, games, etc
The sun began to Tighten IN behind Gilmore
mountain before the last of the guests de-
parted. Mrs. P. had been invited out during
the afternoon, and her home taken posses
sion of by willing hands, who put a new car
pet on her bed room floor, with a complete
chamber suit, sofa in the parlor and other
presents too numerous to mention, which was
presented ito her in u short speech, by Mr..
Page of Morrsville, for the assembled guests
About 100 sat down to the supper, and were
served with oysters, etc, and after all were
filled there were more than twelve baskets re-
naming. Mr.. and Mrs. Potter and their
young family have only been in town the past
year, removing here from Canada, and many
of our people were DESTROYS of better ac-
quaintance. Much credit is due Mrs. E. A.
Dodge and Mrs. Darling, Morrisville, for their
management of the affair, and aiding to in
crease the pleasure of the guests.

Mass, where he was on a visit to a relative,
Robert Herren.
Mr.. Macintosh was 73 years of age at the
time of his death and will be remembered as
a prominent merchant and business man
here in the days of Waterville's prosperity
before the war. On the burning of the Her.

where for upwards of twenty years he was in
the employ of Parker, Wilder & Co.
Mr.. Macintosh was gentleman in every

His remains were inferred in Mt Auburn
