tional menace.
There are many financiers who,
though they look with apprehension on
a boom in national banks, yet feel that
we have not reached the danger line
and that the country is able to absorb
all the national bank note circulation
that Is likely to be issued on the pres
emit bonded debt Of the United States.
It is proposed that at the next SEES

for the construction Of the Panama
canal shall also be made a basis for
bank note circulation and this ex-

cessive. The danger line will be
reached when the bank note circulation
comes to bear an undue relation to the
gold reserve of the United States treas
ury. The growth in national bank notes
In I'VE years has increased their
amount from $216,0 900 to $478, 900,
600, based on government bonds, or
about 100000 per annum. Z Is
calculated that the gold stock of the
country increases annually in about the
proportion that population increases.
curing tno last fiscal year the basis
money OF the nation was increased by
the addition Of $23,O00,000 in gold GER
tihcates. 1t Is urged that as the bank
note circulation increases faster than
the growth Of the money of redemp-
ton, the process tends toward imitation.
IL adds to the burden Of money which
the gold reserve must maintain at
parity.
No remedy for this situation Is IN
sight, and 1t is stated that it may be
that an unhappy financial depression
will be needed to call the attention of
the whole country to the necessity for
caution in loading up trade with too
great an issue Of bank notes. At pres
ent there is no Limitation on the Or
ganization Of national banks except
that they cannot go beyond the bonded
debt. The bonded debt is now $685.

as security for note issues and $65, 000,-

the canal is to be constructed on the

necessarily be doubled and probably

1t is a recognized fact that the con.
