CONGRESS SHOULD PROMPTLY PASS
THEM.

The washington correspondent or the
New York Journal Of Commerce writes
that paper that there are three measures
pertaining TO the nations finances which
NAV even yet pass Congress before II
adiourns. They are, first. measure
authorizing national banks 10 Increase
their circulation to tho par value OF the
bonds deposited by them as security FOR
It. The second is a measure authoriz-
ing the establishment Of banks with a
capital as low as $4,000 in small towns.
The third relates TO the retiring and
again taking out circulation by tie ma
tional banks. This last would be
measure I'm the right direction but we
do not look upon it as very vitality touch
ing the real troubles in the case. and we
do not therefore, feel very much interest
in Il. But the two first measures are
measures Of prime Importance. and we
do not understand how Congress can
fail 10 put all other business. Of every
kind whatever. aside TO pass them. They
keep within the limits which the advo-
Gates OF national banks think so essen
tial. and they should, therefore, meet
with no opposition from them. Every
dollar Of notes issued by a national bank,
II they become laws, would have at its
back a dollar OF the Governments bonds,
and no advocate Of the national-Dank
system can reasonably ask for
ANYTHING more than that. The
difficulty that the national banks
now have in issuing notes arises
from the fact that as they can only
issue 90 per cent. Of the face value OF
their bonds. the high price of those bonds
makes 1t Improbable for them 10 lock
their money up in them. They can use
their money to better advantage IN other
ways.
But II they are allowed TO issue par
for them. their resources would be very
considerably increased. We do not say
the added circulation would be sufficient
10 induce the national banks 10 issue all
the currency that the country demanded.
but It is certainly a move In the right
direction, and it would cause them TO
issue a great deal more than they now
issue.
The other measure is one Of prime i'm
potance. The trouble the country has
with finance all comes from the country
districts. The people in them cannot afford
20 comply with the present requirements
OF the natiOnal-hank act and they are
consequently without banking facilities.
But If they are allowed to have national
banks with only $4,000 Of capital, they
could in many places NEE; the require
ments OF the act, and wherever bank
sprang up. the cry for free silver would
die out That cry has It's origin IN the
national-bank act. which denies 10 the
people az large the right to nave the
banking facilities that are indlspcnsa-
BILE TO their business.
No man can foreten what innuecne
the passage Of these two simple measures
would have upon free silver in the South.

AN INSTRUCTIVE LESSON FOR US.

We take from the New York journal Of
Commerce Of Tuesday the following inter
view with Mr.. Eddy. of the firm of Frank
EDDY q Co.. Of New York. who has just
returned from a visit TO England

per cent. per annum. Time money is also

searching for opportunities 10 yet better
rates Of interest. They have been buy
Ing mining stocks IN great quantities
hoping IN that way 10 average up their
incomes. The European competition for
desirable Investments is very great and
particularly from Belgium. Holland, and
France. Yet. anxious as they are "a place

upon American Investments preferring 10
take lower rate Of interest where they
are sure that they will get back the sane

Mr. Eddy is one OF the largest importers
and ono OF the best known and most
respected merchants in New York. And
what no says does not depend upon his
testimony only. The same facts come TO
us from every quarter. We know just
