BY W. H. DOHERTY "9He Banker lnbest0r J1agazne


and during the recent panic it was impossible
for them to get their deposits from the New
York banks at time when these funds were
greatly needed. Not only should the govern
ment, and that alone, issue currency, but when
so issued it should not be based upon gov
eminent bonds. The government bond is an
evidence Of debt, and they are simply certif-
Gates Of Indebtedness. What would the fnan-
ciers think Of an individual who, after he
had accumulated large and varied assort-
ment Of debts, would proceed to issue bonds
upon them? The government bond is accept
ed because of the taxing power of the nation
to pay them. What more would we have to
do if, instead of bonded currency, we ac-
cepted a United States treasury note based
upon all the resources and taxable wealth of
the country? II our present system OF bond
secured circulation is to continue, it means
that the nation will have to remain perpetually
in debt A non-interest bearing currency as
represented by the United States treasury
note, is the most commendable medium Of ex-
change, but even this has a serious defect. On
the face Of it, you will find this exception
''This note is legal tender for all debts pub
lie and private, except duties on imports and
interest on the public debit After the gov
eminent has issued the note it Immediately
proceeds to discredit it by placing these lini-
tations upon it. An ideal currency would GER
tainlv not have such a defect as this. These
exceptions are placed there in order to secure
the payment of the obligations mentioned In
gold. Practically all the great nations of the
world are today upon gold basis, and those
that are not are being forced there by the
creditor nations who hold their obligations.
The national debts of Great Britain nearly
all the Continental nations and also Of the
United States are payable in gold.
Not only are the national obligations pay
able in gold, but all the currency is redeema-
BILE in the same metal. The silver dollars can
be taken to the treasurer Of the United States
and gold demanded for them. This would not
be such serious matter if there would be
enough gold to go around but unfortunately
there is not There is no way of increasing
the supply except by the uncertain method
of mining or by taking it from some other
nation that needs it more than we do There
is Scripture text about man who by TAX
ing thought could add one cubit to his stature.
That would be an easy task in comparison
with that of the modern fnancier who tries
to find enough gold for the innumerable obi
cations that are resting on it, All the nations
are grasping the precious metal and holding
it in their vaults as a reserve. The United
States has about billion. Russia about nine
