and are to be offered TO the public. not on the
credit OF the banks issuing them. but on
that which they will receive from the no.
torious disposition OF people to attrlb-
ute to engraved paper q value which
Is denied to n plain draft or check. In
snort, 1t Is n scheme to reintroducc the wildcat
currency. from which the National Bank act de-
lVered us. The banks which would spring
MP under II, would be organized. II organized
at all. not with local capital and by local share
holders. but by spectators who. instead OF
lending their circulating notes to tho agricul-
turists of the vicinity. would scatter them at
points rs remote as possible. SO as to delay
their return for redemption. For. IL the notes
were issued to local borrowers and by them
raid to their creditors. they would very soon
come back for redemption. and the banks,
having no assets but obligations secured by
land. cattle and future crops, would at once
have to suspend payment.
The upshot OF the matter Is. that the country's
currency. under existing conditions. Is. with
the supplement OF bank checks, sufficiently
abundant and sufficiently elastic for all the
purposes Of legitimate business. and the
scheme OF creating a multitude OF little banks
with power to issue currency against their
own assets would be not only useless but mis-
chievous. 1t would fail to relieve the wants of
the people for whose benefit 1t Is profess
sedly advocated. aud it would open a
door to enormous frauds upon the country
at large. All that is lacking to our
present system OF Government notes Is
legislation assimilating 1t more closely
to that OF the Bank OF England. The notes.
beyond Il certain amount which can be soon as
cortaincd and for which redemption will never
be demanded. should be issued only against de-
posts of gold, and their issue should be compul-
sorry. whenever gold Is offered in exchange for
them. The Treasury would thus. like the
Bank of England, become the storchouse OF
the country's visible stock ofgold. and our cur
rency would expand and contract according as
gold was imported or exported. This is the
only safe and healthy elasticity possible. Great
Britain has had none other for half n century.
and has prospered under it. and we should dc
the same. MATTHEW MARSHALL,
