Shaw Plan Feasible Remedy.

The most feasible remedy for correct
ing this evil. as we'll rs "a correct the
greater evil of apparent non-elasdcity
OF our currency. would be 10 adopt the
recommendation made by Secretary
Shaw.
The adoption of these recommended
tons. which are that national banks be
privileged 10 issue an amount of bank
notes equal to 50 per cent of the cur
rency it had in circulation without Sc
eurity other than an imposed tax of 3
per cent would in every sense of the
word prevent such periods OF depression
as were experienced up to ten days ago.
This system would tend TO make our
currency the most elastic Of probably
any monetary system in vogue in any
country.

Riggs National Bank. replying TO an
inquiry as 10 a msthod 10 correct such
