Between Government Credit and Bank
Credit Let the People Choose.
The New York Sun has way Of put
ting things sometimes that is very
fOrcible. The Sun rarely says any
thing, indeed, that is not fOrcible, but
upon occasions it not only hits the nail
hard, but drives it home at a single
blow.
In this discussion of bank currency
versus government currency there il
one particular vulnerable point in the
argument of the bank currency adyO-
cate. He cannot convince the public IL
general that a currency based on
private credit Is as good as a currency
based on government credit. and there
fore most of the advocates Of bank
currency have some roundabout, back
door scheme for making the govern
ment responsible for their notes in the
end. The Sun points out how in this
way the bank currency advocates eN-
pose the weakness Of their case when
in discussing Secretary Cages plan il
says:
The secretary comedies that the people
have a preference for -a--currency resting
upon the credit OF the government, and he
therefore proposes that. although there f.
but little risk in a bank currency secured
by a safety fund OF two per cent, stiII. &C
satisfy the people. the government should
assume that risk
This. It seems to Us. is giving away the
whole argument in favor Of bank currency
as against government notes. II the con-
Tiction- that the governments credit is
better than the credit Of the banks, IS sc
deeply rooted IN the public mind that the
notes issued b. the banks must be guaran-
teed by the government, IN order to make
them generally acceptable. IL is impossible
TO resist the conclusion that the govern
ment may as well itself issue the notes fl
the first instance, and enjoy the profits Of
the business instead OF turning 20 over &c
the banks and paying them for doing IT.
Between government credit and rbank
credit. government notes and bank notes
the people choose the government credit
and the government notes
1t isn't often we can agree with the
Sun, but II is pleasant 70 do so when
We can so emPhaticaIIy as IN this case.
