thus would increase with the population.
This plan would place in the hands of the
bank officers additional currency to be
loaned to men, whom they know.
Experience shows that the plan Is safe.
The Bank of North Carolina, of which 1
was director in 1S59-65, had this privilege.
1t never issued as much as the law al
lowed, because good securities sufficient
were not offered. 1t was so sound that,
Notwithstanding all the losses of confed-
crate and state securities, it paid its notes
and deposits The Bank OF Germany has
like privilege and is regarded as Very
strong.
"A concrete case will show the difference
between the old and the new plan. North
Carolina before 1861 had notes of its own
banks equal to about 100000. Since 1865
1t has not $2Q00,000. The proposed plan
would give our people about 100000 or
A,500,000. This certainly is not excessive.
Our business men would not be stified as
heretofore, 1t is mockery to tell us that
there is plenty of currency, when it is con-
gested in New York and the New York
owners will not lend II to us.
The proposed plan has the advantage
of elasticity. In prosperous times good
paper would be offered for discount In
unprosperous times the notes would be
paid back
The plan would be safe even in case
VI OCCASIONAL frauds or careleSsneSS equiv
alent to fraud. By proper inspection and
sure and speedy punishments, the frauds
would be reduced to a minimum. In any
event the note holders would be SAFE and
with proper tax on circulation the gov
eminent would be.
AS the contemplated issues would be
calculated to be, large enough to satisfy
the needs of the people, greenbacks would
be unnecessary, but should not be retired
70 diminish tho unlI1r1a Of
I'm consideration of the extraordinary
privileges enjoyed by the banks they
should pay handsomely to the government.

with the net earnings or all profits in ex-
cess of a certain per cent.-say 8 pei. cent. /"
