c. S. p Redkey. Ind. writes the Jour-
nal: "Since gold contracts are being re-
CURED of the borrower. people in this vi
cinity are threatening to discriminate
against national bank notes. If this be-
comes general. what effect will 1T have on
monetary affairs and business" An at
tempted boycott of that kind could hardly
have any effect. either on the banks or
the general business situation. National
bank notes constitute a considerable and
important part of our money circulation,
and it is not at all likely that any person
will scrutinize the paper currency that
comes into his hands to see what proper
ton Is greenbacks. what gold certificates.
what silver certificates. what treasury
notes under the act Of 1890. and what ma
tional bank notes. People who take at par
silver dollars containing only 50 cents
worth of silver are not likely TO reject
bank notes the redemption of which, dollar
for dollar. is secured by deposit of United
States bonds. Besides. the boycott, If at
tempted, could not hurt the banks. When
their notes are once issued they have no
further concern with them. AS their final
redemption is secured by deposit of gov
eminent bonds and no holder of note can
possibly be loser. the banks need not con-
Germ themselves. whether people take them
or not. Little side issues or suggestions
of this kind should not divert pubic atten-
ton from the paramount question. Al
present national hank notes. like al the
other forms OF our paper currency, are as
good as gold. The vital question is whether
they shall all continue so or be scaled down
below the value of the Mexican silver dol

proposed we should have heard nothing OF

The reasons assigned by Mr.. Eckels,
Controller of the Currency, for putting
sound-money Democratic ticket in the
field seem to be well founded. Assuming
that the first duty of all friends of sound
money is to bring about the defeat of the
Chicago ticket, he says:
MY own view is that the naming Of cam
didates of high character and the framing
of a platform sound in every particular
would aid to this end. 1t would afford an
opportunity. which otherwise would be
wanting, to discuss this question before
Democratic audiences by Democratic
speakers. The educational work most
needed is within the Democratic party and
it can best be Accomplished by those of
Democratic faith. -0r tf
Many Democrats have already decided to
vote for Mckinley, and will carry out the r
intention, but perhaps there are many
others who would rather vote for sound
money candidate of their own party. A
new ticket would give them a chance to
vote their convictions. ana every such vote
would count half vote for Mckinley. AS
the Journal has said before, If the sound
money Democrats are sincere they will do
whatever they think will contribute most
to the defeat of Bryan.

Troy Times.

There are times when the question or re
mark of a persistent interrupter Will de-
stroy the effect of speech and DISCOURAGE
the orator almost to the point of breaking
down. When. Bryan, of Nebraska, in the
Fifty-thrd Congress, was in the midst of
a rhetorical climax. and with arms uplifCed
was gushing very familiar line. the House
was ccnvulsed by the question of Walker.
of Massachusetts: who wrote thatg' The

vantage. and, besides. the notes are not
properly secured" When he was told that
he was entirely wrong and that instead OF
the law allowing the banks to issue 100000
OF notes on every $4,000 Of bonds. it was
just the other way. and that they were
only allowed to issue $4,000 on every $780,
900 OF bonds. he declared that he knew
better and almost grew angry. He was not
convinced of his error till he was shown
the section of the national bank law COW
ering the point in question and read it for
himself. He admitted that he had always
thought differently and had often made the
statement as an argument for the abolition
of the national bank system. 1t is fair
sample of the transformation freely dis
seminated by some expounders OF finance.
All attacks on the national banks are
based on Ignorance or prejudice. and APP
peal to those qualities. AS a banking sys-
tenn no country in the world has better.
The notes are absolutely secure against
any possibility of loss to the holder, and
the depositors in national banks are as
well protected as they could be under any
system. The law is not unduly favorable
TO the banks. The system. so far from be-
ing a burden on the government, has been
a source Of large revenue. The banks have
paid the government in taxes capital.
deposits and circulation an aggregate of
nearly $50 600. 900 and have been of immense
service in other ways. Perhaps the best
feature of the whole system is the one
which the Chicago platform specially at
tacks. namely. the issuing of notes for cir
culation. and of all the plans that could
be proposed in lieu of it the very worst
would be to have notes issued directly by
the government, subject to the whim of
each succeeding Congress- No civilized
government in the world has such feat
ure in its currency system. and the prop
osition would not find supporters in any
other civilized country except the United
States. 1t is of the worst of the
many financial heresies in the Chicago plat
form.

IGNORANT ATTACKS on THE Ma
TIONAL BANKS.

In a small party of gentlemen who were
discussing the money question a few days
ago was one who favored the abolition of
the national bank system and the issuing
of all paper money directly by the gov
eminent. This is the position OF the Pop
uiist-Democratic platform. which demands
that the power to issue notes to circulate
as money be taken from the national banks
and that all paper money shall be issued
directly by the Treasury Department" The
gentleman alluded to declared that nation
al banks had been specially favored by Leg
islation and cited as proof that they were
allowed to issue 100000 of notes on every
$4,000 of government bonds deposited as
security. That is the kind Of legislation, I"
