GOLD CURRENCY LAWS NEEDED.
'There are, however, some monetary mat
ters that need regulating. Statistics show
that the average credit in bank in Rhode
Island is 1871 a man and almost all other
Northern States in like amounts, while in
nearly all the Southern States the figures
are next to nothing. In Arkansas the per-
centage is $4.S6 man. In the States where
money is the most plentiful, interest rates.
of course, are low ranging from 21h to 3
per cent. while in the centers where there
is scarcity of bank notes it runs to ruin
Gus figures, as high as 20 and % per cent
The remedy for this lies in a complete re-
construction Of the national-bank currency
laws. There is no law at present which
can keep the bank notes in the places where
they are most needed, but new plan is un-
der way which Is expected TO do so. In
stead of as at present requiring a bank
which desires to issue notes of it's own cir
culation to deposit a percentage above the
amount of the notes to be issued, the new
plan Will consist largely of a mutual insur-
ance idea by which each bank will be in the
same position toward the government that
tho policy holder occupies toward the life
insurance company. Statistics show what
proportion of loss there is in bank failures,
and by charging a much less premium the
government can retain control of the bank
circulation and at the same time allow a
circulation in territory where now bank
ers find il Improbable 10 invest the
amount necessary to secure circulation I'M
der the present laws. Under this plan each
note will be secured by the government, and
in event of the failure of the bank issuing
