REFORMING THE CURRENCY.

REFORMING THE CURRENCY.
Minneapolis Journal: The house
committee on banking and currency
reported a new general banking bill
to the house today, which seems to
have some good feature.
In outline it provides for the retire
ment of the greenbacks, the issue of
a moderate amount of asset-secured
currency by national banks and for
the regular organization Of clearing
houses. The greenback retiring feature
will no doubt be strongly opposed by
the element who are sentimentally at
tached to that currency because it
was issued to meet the necessities of
the war, and those who insist upon d.
rect government issues and object to
the Intermediary operation of national
banks. The proposed law would ef-
feet greenback retirement by allow
ing the national banks to issue a GER
tain amount Of currency based upon
the quantity of greenbacks they retire,
the bank currency taking the place of
the retired greenbacks. The bill also
provides for keeping all our currency
at parity with gold, a feature for
which the law of March, 1900, made
no complete provision, and which is
absolutely necessary to make this a
gold-standard country in every re-
spect. The interchangeability of
standard silver dollars with gold
would complete our coinage reform.
The proposed measure provides for
a moderate proportion of asset-secur-
ed currency, which is a recognition
of the necessity of securing elasticity
in note issues, through bank issues
based upon their ordinary CONNER
cial assets. The bond-secured circu-
lation lacks the essential elasticity or
contains it in a very limited sense,
and the continued retirement of the
bonded debt, with limited prospect of
a change a business necessity. The
requirement that banks shall buy
bonds as a basis for note circulation
diverts their capital to the extent of
such purchases and so limits their
ability to accommodate their custom
ers. There would, under the provi-
sions of this bill, be entire safety in
permitting banks to issue notes on
their ordinary commercial assets. The
provisions for the extension of the
clearinghouse system and for the de-
posit of all public money in xces of
$500 00. 900 in national banks. they to
pay l per cent interest a year on the
amount deposited, is intended to diff
fuse money circulation and reduce in
terest and discount rates.
Mr.. Hills bill to establish the gold
standard on a firm basis is still be-
lars redeemable in gold and provides
for recoining them into subsidiary
coin. 1t is a good measure so far as
it goes. The new bill looks to banking
reform also. A recent canvass of the
house revealed the fact that there is
a better show for currency Legislation.

Guilty is in getting the sound money
men together on one measure Of re-
form. If this congress will only take
steps to complete the currency reform

So far as Kitchener is concerned
the South African war does not seem
to have as yet advanced beyond the
stage when it becomes necessary for
him to send an occasional 81 regret
message" to the wal office. The lat
est one he forwarded was probably the
most r~egretful of all and the results
might have proved fatal to him had he
not become accustomed to the thing

ing for a nation is a matter Of SUI
preme indifference to their constitu-
ents, just so that they can be relied
upon to see that certain men are ap-
pointed postmasters and that others
get office of some other kind. 1t is
because of the fact that men of the
Ray stripe Ne elected to congress
that we have so many vicious and
ridiculous congressional enactments,
and also because really m%eritorious
measures are defeated.
1t is safe to say that Mr.. Ray has
never ventured beyond the confines
of his own state, except as he makes
his journeys to Washington, and that
he would be afraid to go as far west
as Chicago for fear the Indians would
scalp him. The only geography with
which he is familiar, it is not ventur-
ing much to say, is the n in which
all the region west of the Missouri is
still designated as 'the great Ameri-
can desert" Out with such States

much land! Wouldn't that jar you?

Some of the gentlemen. in and out
of congress who have been declaiming
so loudly for the independence of the
Filipinos ard asserting their ability
to govern themselves will probably
set up a new howl in that direction
when they read the latest insta,lment
of the story of native cruelty and bar
barism. The fact that they are tortur-
ing and numbering American soldiers
will probably be accepted by these
friends of the oppressed and down
trodden as the strongest sort of evil
dence calculated to dem Ms:rate their
high stage Of civilization and fitness
to take a place among the powers of
the world.
