cit is probable that there could be no
better plan for simply insuring the note
holder against loss than the present re-
uuirement of deposit Of bonds to secure
a banks circulation, but it is equally GER
tain, however, that a method could be de-
vised, not less safe in this respect, and in
addition thereto possessing that which is
essential and is now wholly wanting
elasticity of issue. The complaint, there
FORE made against the present system is
that, lacking in elasticity of issue, it fails
to meet fully as it ought the varying
| wants of the country's trade and COM
| merce. This defect must attach to every
| scheme for currency issued by the banks
| against deposit of bonds, the market
| value of which fiuctuates while the per-
centage of issue, less than the value OF
| the bonds granted the banks. remains I'M
| changed. 1t must also be wanting in such
| a method because of the delay in the face
| of a pressing need, occasioned by a tight
money market other reasons, in secur-
! ing and depositing the bonds required and
| taking out the circulation thereon
But serious as this fault and retardful
| as it is to the business interests OF the
| country any attempt to remedy IT, Which
| should lose sight of or in any wise make
less certain unquestioned credit and con-
| vertibility of the bank issues OF the coun-
| try, could not be justified. 1t is duty OF
| governments to see that the currency which
| clFcGIateS among the peoPio SHoi away
| be put very high and it's soundness should
| never be subject of inquiry. For 30 years
the American people have had such a bank
| currency and having seen the value of il
| both here and abroad they will not be con-
| tent to have any innovation made unless
such new departure insures not only equa
| but better results.
| "It is respectfully suggested that not
| only as good but better results be at
| tanned until the present bank laws are re-
| pealed by repeating the provision thereof
| requiring each bank as prerequisite tt
| entering the system and issuing bank note
currency to deposit government bonds. Ir
lieu of such provision should be substi
tuted one to authorize the banks to ISSUE
| circulating notes
