Mr.. Bryan on Equally.

In his speech at New York ON Feb. 90
Mr.. Bryan said: IF any person believes
a government should single out a few
people and give them advantages over
others, he does not understand equality
under the law"
This is very true But, in demanding
that silver mine owners be permitted to
take 80 cents worth of bullion to the
treasury and have it stamped as 81, is
not MI. Bryan advocating the very in
equality under the law which he re-
Dukes? Would not free coinage of silver
at a fictitious ratio be to "single out a
few people and give them advantages
over others?" The owner of silver bull
lion in this country are very few indeed
Again Mr.. Bryan says, "No just gov
eminent ought to enable or permit one
citizen to injure another citizen"
True. But would not the government
do this If it enabled one class of citizens,
the debtors, to discharge their obliga-
tions to another class, the creditors. in
dollars worth only half as much as were
the dollars loaned? If the government
were to make wampum or conch shells
legal tender for the payment of debt,
would it not enable one class of citizens
to injure another class? And would il
not do the same in dep~reciating the cur
rency Of the country to a so cent basis?
The people SO decided last November.

The Question of Branch Banks.

II small national banks are to be en-
oouragcd in the 20 sparsely settled
portions Of the country, the question
arises whether they should be purely
local organizations or branches Of the
great metropolitan banks. The old Unit
ed States bank had branches which, by
virtue of their connection with a large
central institution, had some advan-
tages over the local banks with which
they competed, but were in more than
one instance the objects of adverse state
legislation. This spirit of local hostility
to a bank located in another city, and
perhaps another state, left memories
which still survive and which account
in part for the opposition to branch
banks.
But the experience of England and
Scotland, Canada and Australia, is
strongly and uniformly in favor of large
central banks with many branches. The
banks Of Canada are able TO maintain a
singular uniformity in the rates of in
and in the remote agricultural regions
because the banks Of Montreal and To
ronto have their branches in Manitoba
and the Pacific region and can transfer
the surplus capital of ole locality to
meet the deficiency in another as it an
not be done by wholly independent
banks. The conditions in Canada are
very much like those of the United
States, and the success of the Canadian
banks in doing what we recognize the
Importance of having done is entitled to
great weight in our considerations. In
Scotland it is well known that the
branch system has greatly favored those
agricultural interests which in our own
country are so much in need of financial
accommodation.
The preponderance of financial testi-
mony is decidedly in favor of the branch
system, most of the opposition to which
comes, or would come, from local finan-
ciai interests, jealous Of strong outside
competition There is a feeling Of dis
trust of all banks which is born of ig-
norance. 1t increases rapidly with the
increase Of a banks capital and the ex-
tension Of its operations. which are sup
posed to prove the bank to ne a monop-
oly.-Iron Age.

Percentage of cash to total credits,
o per cent.
1.-The lesson to be drawn from these
figures is this:
Much the larger part of all our COM
mercial exchanges are carried on by
bank checks or other instruments Of pri-
vate credit. These instruments all relate
to a certain fdm of money, in place of
which they for the moment stand. If
uncertainty intervene as TO what this
related thing-this m~oney--is. or is 10
be, .istrust and confusion enter in.
The mighty agency of personal credit is
shaken. Commercial exchanges fall off,
trade languishes and industry declines.
1.-THE greenback was issued TO pay
debts, not to acquire value, or, if value
was received, such value was either con-
sumed or converted into value not avail
able In the market. The greenback paid
soldiers and government employees; it
bought powder and munitions Of wal.
The existence Of a g~reenback is the evil
dence of . debt not paid If Is q lien
upon the future.
"A national bank note, on the con
trary, is the evidence of some existing
value which lies somewhere as collateral
for its redemption. To transfer such
values is the only ordinary and proper
occasion which calls for their issue. The
volume in which they will appear
marks the rise in prices or an increasing
quantity Of existing things. Like the
bank check. they will be in active serv-
ice when trade and m are active.
Thus they enjoy the principle of elias
ITCHY, wholly lacking in any possible
form of direct government issue. The
method of their retirement is wholly
different and subjects the trade and COM
MERGE of the country TO less dangerous
strain.
There is no reason why the govern
ment should act as warehouseman for
either gold or silver. Such function is
outside its proper limit of action. But
we are faced by the condition, and 1T is
the bette noire Of the treasury. The
enormous amount of $500, 900, 900 of
silver, represented by 1888, 600, 900 in
silver certificates, added to the $3.50,
000, 900 purchased by the government
under the Sherman act, constitutes a
standing menace to every business inter
est.
"Our whole monetary system is the
resultant of makeshift legislation and
unscientific compromises. 1t is time that
reform began. / do not assume TO offer
more final remedies In my own opinion
the greenbacks should be permanently
retired. The silver purchased under the
Sherman act should be gradually sold
and the treasury notes redeemed and
Cancelled. Some well guarded system OF
bank note circulation, broader and more
elastic than the present national bank
act provides. should be inaugurated.
Such bank notes should be redeemable
at a central place and be redeemable in
gold only.
ITO sum up, the defects Of our pres
emit currency system are: /. A confusing
Heterogeneous which needs simnlifica.

than doubled by another and artificial
value impaired to it through the law,
which gives it power equal to the dollar
In gold to pay customs dues. Having
IN equal value in this direction, the
quantity being limited. it has equal
value in all directions, but the difference
between the metallic value of the silver
dollar and this arbitrary value lies in
the realm Of credit. What l have so far
said lies at the foundation of the subject
and must be first understood.
I'VE have % current in the United
States available in the purchase and sale
of commodities and for the payment of
labor services the following agencies:
First. gold coin. silver coin-real
money.
Next, greenbacks. treasury notes
national bank notes and bank checks.
The last four to be classified together as
forms of credit.
"Their respective legal relationships
to real money. however, are not alike.
The nationai bank note and the bank
check may both be satisfied by the tender
OF green5acks or treasury notes, while
the last w are redeemed only in coin
or in payment Of public dues.
I'm passing it may be well TO note
the relative use Of these various agencies
in the practical operations of commerce
and trade. No better place 10 determine
this can be found than the counter of q
bank, and the following statement of
the amount of each received by a bank
in this city on a recent day will indicate
their relative importance in that direc-
