subjects for serious consideration by
all interested in marine or aerial pro-

The origin Of the idea which prompt

to box alternate rounds with certain

who suggested the brilliant scheme. It

So 1t is not difficult to see how the

came popular one and in measure as
it commanded public confidence super
seded the stocking theory of banking.
These trite "reminiscences are indulg-
ed in here to remind the reader first
that confidence and credit based on
confidence were essentials of the first
departure that public convenience
prompted from the stocking bank the
ory Of doing business. And In the sec
ond place they are made in order to
suggest that after the banking COM
munity became highly developed, so
that there were many people clearing
their own personal debts and credits
through many banks, the banks them
selves came to occupy the same rela-
ton to each other as regards the trans
action of their mutual business as
their customers had occupied each to
the others generation or two before.
The check Of every bank was GER

its handling meant in the end that the

Eliminates Cash EXCHANGES.


The committee became known as the
clearing house loan committee. Its
procedure was to eliminate entirely
the exchange of cash between the
banks in settling their balances with
each other by means OF system Of
clearing house loans and credits Thus
il bank had debit balance Of $780,
600 it would be required to put up ap-
proved collateral with the clearing
house backing loan to it in this
amount If bank, on the other hand.
had credit balance it would receive
a certificate from the clearing house
in this amount having the pledge Of
the associated banks behind it.
By this method it became possible
for the banks to use all their funds
for their over the counter business
without having to employ any part of
their cash to settle their balances in
the clearing house. The degree Of the
emergency may be judged from the
fact that currency sold at premium
Of per cent, and the banks without
concern for possible receivership ap-
plications refused to pay out cash on
their checks presented in any large
amounts until the depositors could sat
isfy them that the money was needed
for legitimate purposes.

There was an element of waste and

ton as this. The element of danger

would have shut down on their Gus
toners whenever there was the slight
est contraction of money, lest they
find themselves unable to make good.
The element of waste lay in the limita-
tons placed upon the investments
which the banks might safely and
proftably make Of the funds in their
charge If only their actual cash out
lay could be figured on the net instead
Of on the gross basis. The clearing
house was the result.
And with the clearing house came
mutual confidence based upon infor-
nation. The member banks, first dis
closing to each other their debts and
credits every day, later recognized the
wisdom Of making weekly confes-
sion Of condition. Side by side was
maintained the right Of the clearing
house to go In and make an examina-
ton at any time of member bank, for
the clearing house undertook to take
from each bank belonging to it state
ment of its claims against every other
member bank. to balance those state
ments, collect the balances from the
debit banks and turn the credits over
to the banks entitled to receive them.

Good Work Done In 1893.

1t was back in 1893 when the clear
ing house last demonstrated that it
was an instrument of safety as we'll as
of convenience. In the memory of re-
cent things one needs not, bark back
to the money stringency Of that time
for Illustration Of what such a condi-
ton means to the banks. In 1893 the
people had to withdraw their money
from the banks not because they dis
trusted the banks themselves or the
methods by which they were conduct
ed, but because the money was needed
to pay for the necessities Of business
and personal life. There came a time
when there was not cash enough in ac
tual circulation to go around among
tinue, and the prospect was for sus-
pension Of payments not because of in
solvency based on inability to pay
debts in liquidation, but inability to
convert good assets into cash quickly
enough to keep up with the demands
Of depositors.
The plan that was adopted has be-
come historic. In the Office Of William
Sherer, the present manager of the
