On the other hand, the opposition of Senator Aldrich to any thing tending in the direction of assets currency is unyielding. It has been hop ed that a compromise could be reached on the basis of proposition authorizing the banks to issue emergency circulation subject to a 5 per cent. tax. to an amount not exceeding 25 per cent. of the bond secured circulation of any bank Senator. Aldrich has not yet been pre- vailed upon to give his assent to this. Various other propositions have been considered, such as the repeal of the limitation of $3.O0O.OOO per month on the retirement of national bank circulation and proposal to allow national banks to issue circulation secured by high class bonds other than government bonds. Strong arguments have been made for and against these propositions, but up to the present time there has been no agreement. and there does not seem to be much prospect Of one being reached.
