asset Currency Ought TO Be Better
Than Government Notes"

Asset Currency Ought 10 Be Better
Than Government Notes"
Following is an abstract Of address on
Assets Currency by Horace White before
the American Bankers association in New
Orleans:
Let me explain what we mean by as
sets currency. This is q phrase peculiar
TO our own country Properly speaking,
all bank notes are assets currency since
their goodness depends upon the assets OF
the Issuing bank. This is true of our own
National bank notes, since the bonds de
posted In the treasury as security for
them are assets of the issuing bank. So
the distinctive feature OF assets currency,
as we use the term, is that the bank it.
self holds all the assets on which the good
ness Of the notes depends. instead OF de-
posting some part OF them IN the public
treasury. The reason for lodging a portion
Of them IN the treasury is TO guard against
loss through bad investment, fraudulent
management or robbery. These banking
risks exist always and everywhere. Yet
assets currency prevails In all civilized
countries except the United States and
that mart of Great Britain called England.
II exists In Scotland and Ireland, as we'll
as on the continent of Europe Bank notes
secured by assets not under the control OF
the issuing bank are the very rare excep-
lion 10 q general rule. y
10 a discussion Of the Fowler hill, EN-
bodying the principle Of assets currency
which was before congress last winter:
Assets currency" said Mr.. White,
Ought to be better than government
notes, because the assets of the banks con
sist OF the circulating properties OF the
country. II these assets are not good
nothing Is good. II they were not good,
me government could not long exist. The
assets Of the bank are partly cash and
partly clnirns upon the producers and hold

seription. The government has nothing

the attention that II deserves; Il provides
that the government shall hold a per

now; also per cent guarantee fund,
with the power to replenish Il by taxation
when uecdfui; also paramount lien on
the assets Of failed banks and on the share
holders liability for the redemption Of the
notes OF such banks Having supplied the
government In this way With the means
for redemption OF bank notes, Il provides
that the treasury shall receive at par all
such notes in payments to Itself except Tor
duties on Imports, mud that Il shall not
pay them to its own creditors without
their consent. Under this PLAN therefore
the notehoider can lose nothing because
ne can use the notes In payment TO the gov
eminent. and the government can not lose,
because It is armed with the power to re

A TRAIN OF HARD TACK.
one Million one Hundred and Tven-
ty Thousand Tough Biscuit
Sent te Tampa.

A train load of hard tack, made in
Atlanta factories, was shipped from
here to Tampa the other day for the
army which is TO invade Cuba. The
government, in its contract, stipulated
that the bread for the troops at Tampa
be ready here Immediately. This in it
self signifies that the invasion is TO take
place at an early date.
Eight thousand pounds of hard tack
was sent from this city. Blocks candy
and cracker factory and Lewis cracker
factory made the hard tack for the
soldiers, and the government officials
said it was as good as any they had
ever eaten. The order for the crack
ers was at first for 10000 pounds, but
it was increased to $4,000 TO meet the
demand of the troops.
Hard tack is a tough cracker, in shape
exactly similar 10 a large soda crack
or. The tacks are cut with the soda
cracker molds, and are the same size,
with the exception that they are much
thicker. They have the little indent-
atoms and perforations which mark the
soda crackers, and cannot be told from
a common cracker until tasted.
One million, one hundred and twenty
thousand of the tough little biscuit.
were made here in the last two days
! 1t takes IA of the crackers TO weigh .
pound, and $4,000 pounds were made
/ About 20 of the crackers are served Il
each of the men every day, and, con
! sdering the fact that they are solid
they make three good meals.
The hard tack is only used TO a large
extent upon invasion marches and like
excursions. Always when a campaign
of active fighting begins the troops arr
well supplied with the tack, SO tina
they may have bread ready cooked
The large supply of hard tack sent Il
Tampa makes it certain that the troop
there are ready to invade Cuba, for un
less an invasion was contemplated tn
immense supply would not have beef
sent.-Atlanta Constitution.
