There is another objection which perhaps de-
serves some attention. It s said that the bill

purchase of the necessary securities and that this
would involve the use of 800 OF money to
obtain SO In notes of inferior character This

Il is quite certain that national bank has pur-
chased United States bonds at any time IN the last
bonds than 1t has received in notes. and it also
equally certain that OF these purchases was
made with money taken from the banks lawful
money reserve. No bank would be permitted
ment, TO invest any part of its cash reserves in
any kind of securities in times Of panic, or in
fact, at any other time. When we consider that
cash form a small propor-
ton-about S per cent-of the resources OF the
banks, and that the reduction of these reserves
below the legal amount would be such an infrac-
ton OF law to warrant the Controller OF the
Currency taking possession of the business of the
bank it is easy to that such transaction
would take place. A conclusive TO this OBJ
lection found in the fact that large part of the
remaining % per cent of the banks resources would
be available at all times for use IN exchange or
for the purchase OF these securities.
