"Eighth-Restrict the issue OF national
bank notes to the denomination Of SIC and
upward"
To illustrate the Dement'S Of this plan. the
secretary cites the fact that the national
banks. with capitalization Of SOS, $4,000,
have q circulation OF only SIS s5oolo. and
were compelled TO borrow NS,54S.0oo from
Eastern banks with which to move last
years cotton crop. His plan. he believes.
would induce them 10 issue sufficient cir
culatfon to transact all their business
without borrowing.
The secretary quotes figures from the
comptroller's Office to show that the : per
cent. tax on unsecured circulation would
more than reimburse the government for
its losses by failed banks. That the losses
since the first organization Of national
banks would have been $is4.Scs. while the
funds produced by the proposed tax would
have amounted TO s.. asa, ISIS.
Greenbacks Menace.
The secretary then goes on TO argue that
the greeuback in its present status Is a
constant menace to the gold reserve and
the nations credit. and that there being a
necessity for a reduction of the demand IL
abilities Of the government, these offer the
most cSylyeEs agents for that action.
After answering possible objections from
those who demand the permanent retire
ment OF these notes. he says:
Il am moved TO press the recommended
ton as submitted. in view of the follow
ing considerations:
