THE BANNING PLAN.

The banking plan which Secretary Carlisle
submits, and to which the President gives 'un-
qualified Endorsement" is a grave disappoint-
ment Some good men, who had no sympathy
with the Democratic demand for wildcat bank
ing. have been drawn into the whirlpool, but
are sacrificing regulations as sound bankers by
indorsing scheme which would first weaken
and finally destroy the National system slim
ulate imitation of currency, Of prices, and or
speculation, and after resulting disaster, would
intensity the demand for mere fiat money.
In place Of interest bearing bonds, worth
more than a dollar behind every note for dol
lar the plan substitutes notes having behind
them 30 cents in legal-tender paper and 40
cents general assets" That the security Is
weaker no one can deny Even the legal
tenders might fall TO a silver basis. 1t Is
shrewdly calculated that Government oversight
will give color Of public credit TO the notes,
and yet Government is not to guarantee tneir
