An intelligent Englishman. who IS resident of this city. says the national banking system of the United States is the best financial system in the world. The notes of the national banks are ac- cepted anywhere in this country without question. and not only here but also abroad for foreigners know that the government is behind these notes. The national banks issue their notes on United Stats bonds, and the faith and credit of the nation is pledged to their redemption The whole wealth or the United States is about $75,00 900, 900. and the public debt is about $1 800. 0Oo0OO So there is at least $50 worth of property pledged to the payment of $1 in paper. The banking system of England does not compare with the national banking system of the United States. There are a number of private banks in England and their notes are not received 100 miles from the bank that issues them. There is no method of finding out whether the bank is solvent or not. This is especially trying on the stranger. The notes of the Bank of England are good anywhere in the United Kingdom, but the charter of the bank limits the amount of issue and all notes are cancelled when re- deemed.

What the Veterans Find in Going Over
the Field.
For the second time in the history of
Marietta, Ga, Gen. Sherman's army
had taken undisputed possession. The
shady streets of the little village were
dotted with groups of blue uniformed
men, while red, white and blue bunting
waved over the verandas of the Elm
wood hotel. But the hosts of veterans
who were overrunning Chicl1amauga
and doing the great march over again
through Altoona gap and run the en-
battled heights of Kcnesaw had left
their guns and ammunition behind
them over the route they toilcd. ragged

ALL silver coinage except that of

ALL silver coinage except that OF
subsidiary silver, has been ordered
suspended after November 1st by
Secretary Carlisle. Ia carrying out
this policy the New Orleans Mint
will be practically closed and dis
.mantled after that date.
Secretary Carlisle has for some
time been considering the advisa
bility of stopping all silver coinage
except that of subsidiary coins.
Since he has been head of the Treas
nav Department only 1882 ga
standard silver dollars have been
minted. Since July 1st last only
ninety standard silver dollars have
been coined, The total coinage of sill
yer under all Acts amounts TO 9423,
,289, 3O7.
The Treasury now holds 1877 ,644,-
900 fine ounces of silver bullion pur-
chased under the Sherman Act, the
cost of which was 1924, $50, 1928 with
a coming value in silver dollars of
BIT, 964, 600 II this bullion were
coined into silver dollars the profit
TO the Government on its coinage
would be nearly $54, 900, 900, which
sum could be paid out of the ordi-
nary expenses of the Government or
against which silver certificates
could be issued.
The practical effect of the action
taken by Secretary Carlisle is to
convert all the silver bullion held by
the Government into gold obliga-
lions under the parity clause Of the
Sherman Act.
Secretary Window, in 1891, con-
strued the law to mean that all the
Sherman notes issued against bullion
were iedeemable in gold. This con-
Struction of the law was concurred
in by his successors, Secretaries
Foster and Carlisle, and has been in
practical operation during the past
four years. Under it $76, 1913, 522
has been redeemed.
TEe coinage of silver bullion into
standard silver dollars operates to
prevent Sherman notes being issued,
and silver certificates, issued against
the standard silver dollars are re-
deemable only in silver, Thus, from
the same base Silver sbullion), the
Sherman notes become gold obliga-
tions, and silver, coined into stand
ard silver dollars, and silver certifi-
Gates, issued upon them, become
silver obligations.
The suspension of the coinage of
standard silver dollars therefore
leaves the silver bullion free from
any other liability of conversion into
silver obligations The closing up
of the New Orleans Mint leaves only
the United States mints at Philadel-
phia and San Frqncisoo in operation.
At these mints only gold and sub
sidy silver will be coined, unless
Congress should direct to the con
trary and its action be approved by
the president,
