A GHOST OF WILDCAT DAYS.

Once more the ghost of wildcat
currency stalks abroad. 1t has en-
tered the Georgia legislature in the
form OF a bill TO test the constitution
ality of the 10 per cent prohibitory
tax on state banh paper money, which
became an act of congress March 3,
1865. The act has been effective.
Uuder it the last of the wildcat banks
Immediately passed out of business
life. Yet now, generation later,
bill to revive the evils that it crushed
is about to become one of the session
laws of Georgia by a substantially
unanimous vote.
The National Democratic conVen-
tion of 1892 pledged the Democracy
to the repeal of the 10 per cent tax.
The pledge could not have been
more explicit. 1--WE recommend" :"
said the platform, ''that the prohibit
ory 10 per cent tax on state bank is
sues be repealed" The Democratic
party gained both houses of congress,
as we'll as the presidency, and was
soon in position to pass repeal bill.
but nothing of the kind was done or
even seriously attempted. The reso-
luton submitted to congress on the
subject was bit of demagogy, never
intended to be carried out IN good
faith by the party. The Georgia
bill, on the contrary, is a serious
measure. 1t expresses a desire for a
revival of state bank currency that is
not confined to Georgia. 1t voices
the present demand of the South for
cheap money.
The proposed test case will be
made up undoubtedly, and in due
time the ghost will leave Atlanta for
Washington. There is very little
reason to fear a decision of reversal.
The Federal statute is very.brief, adj
mitting of no two meanings. and the
supreme court long ago passed on its
constitutionality. The original test
case is known to lawyers as Veazie
Bank versus Fenno. The law itself
reads thus:
EVERY national banking associa-
tion, state bank, or state banking as
sociation shall pay tax of 10 per
centum on the amount of notes of
any person, or of any state bank, or
state banking association, used for
circulation and paid out by them
The present supreme court con-
slsts of nine members, three only of
whom are Democrats, Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Peckham and
White. 1t is very doubtful if any
one of the three would favor the
resurrection of state bank currency.
Certainly Fuller of Chicago and
Peckham of New York, would op-
pose such financial calamity. Both
of them must remember clearly wha
a pernlcious currency system this
country had before the war. Justice
Whites home is in another great
financial and commercial center, New
Orleans. The other six members of
the supreme bench are Republicans,
and in all the agitation of this sub
ject of repeal-and much was said
about it in the campaign of 1892-no
Republican favored the restoration
of the old Standardization.

AN UNHEALTHY coSpIrIoS.

Henry Clews and other financial
reporters have based their ideas OF
prosperity chiefly upon the amount Of
money that accumulates in Wall
street, making money -eass- in that
city, and the loans that are made
through the banks 81 New York. But
such conclusions are erroneous The

Prosperity is contingent upon the
natural circulation of money through
the channels Of trade and commerce.
just now money Is accommodating in
New York in great volume, deposits

OFFENSIVE FOREIGN MINISTER'S

The New York Sun has been al
pains tn search the records and find
how often in our history ministers
representing foreign nutions in this
country have shown themselves per-
soma non gratn TO u government
and been recalled to their oHn land
at u request. The first instance
happened in Washrngton's second
term, in 1924. Genet, French min
is.er, had meiilei with what did not
concern him and endeavored TO stir
up val between us aud England. and
Washington requested France 10 re-
call him.
When Jefferson was president,
Yrujo, Spanish minister, was guilty Of
conduct not only unbeconInG in a
diplomat. but even IN al honest man
and a gentleman. and Was dismissed
from his Office at the request OF u
government. Even then. however,
Spain acted in a very high noSed
way in regard 10 the matter and did
not rebuke the offender as she should
have done.
During Msdlson's first term Jack
son, British minister. was recalled on
a request from Washington because
OF offensive criticism OF our govern
ment. In 1919, when Taylor was
president, the French minister, a nan
with the long name Of Guillaumc
Tell Llvaliee Poussin. made himself
persona non grata and was peremp
torily informed by the state depart
ment that this government wOuld
have nothing more To do with him in
his official capacity. That was Zach
Taylor's way OF doing things.
Catscazy, Russian representative,
was recalled home at our request IL
ISL, in Grants first term, and the
same fat. happened to Sackyille-
West, British minister. in Clevelsnd's
first term. Last Of al! comes the De
LONE incident. Thus seven foreign
ministers in all-two British. two
Spanish, two French AMI one Russian
have since the establishment Of the
United States government made
themselves so disagreeabIe that their
recall wss asked for.
