The Only Enec,,,. R.n.ay.


How to relieve the government from
it's financial difficulties, which are
due to our awkward and mixed-up
system of currency, is ably treated in
the current weekly letter of Hambleton
& Co., bankers, of Baltimore. It says
There is only one true and effective
remedy for the present undesirable
condition OF our currency. The govern
mont must be taken out Of the banking
business and the issuing, maintaining
and redeeming the currency Of tho
country must be placed in the hands
Of the banks. We will never get entirely
straight and enjoy full measure Of
prosperity, unit financial policy is
adopted which shall relieve the govern.
ment from its obligation to redeem on
demand its notes No government has
ever escaped bankruptcy which has per-
sisted in issuing paper money, and as
strong as we are as nation, we would
not prove an exception to this rule if
Mr.. Bryan's policy should be adopted.
When il comes to reimbursement of
our currency system, the first step
will be TO get rid OF the legal. tender
notes. The government would then
have no trouble with the silver at
present in circulation. 1t ia probable
that concessions may be made in locai-
ties which desire TO bank under State
laws, but We hope and believe that the
national bank system reformed upon
broader grounds will DO preserved.
We have before our eyes Just at this
moment an example of how financial
and currency system controls by legiti-
mate and neientific means. The Bank
Of England had not changed it's rate
from ? per cent for two years until,
because of our large favorable trade
balance and because money was bring
ing comparatively high rates in this
country gold commenced to come to us
in large quantities when the bank
raised its rate to s1a per cent. The
effect Of this was that the bulk of the
gold subsequently ghipped came from
France This week large gold engage
ments were made at london for ship
ment to the United States, and on
Thursday the Bank of England again
raised it's rate to 3 per cent.
II we had bank currency system
instead Of government currency sys-
tenn, we would have no trouble about
gold for the redemption of our bank
notes or for exnort. This is financial
and commercial matter which could and
would be easily regulated.
And yet the Bryan Populist platform
adopted at Chicago demands that "al
paper money which il made Legal
tender for public and private debts
shall be issued by the government OF
the United States.
Here is greenbackism run wild.
Nothing could be further from the
good old Democratic doctrine of sound
money than this. The government
should be taken out of the banking
business, and not plunged into it over
its head.
