We print elsewhere an interesting letter from
q Tribune reader who chdes Us. evidently more
in sorrow than In anger. for the position We
have taken III fav0r Of d currency based on bank
. assets il preference 10 one based on bonds.
Perhaps he is right when he says that this ex-
pedent must seem 10 many readers Of the Trib-
une "a dangerous experiment in our national
banking system: they would expect from it :
recurrence Of anTe-bt llum conditions But this
fear. think proceeds from the circumstance
that they have not taken the pains 10 inform
themselves sufficiently regarding the causes of
what occurred under the old state banking sys-
tenn Of dreadful memory. some of whose incoI,-
veniences our correspondent SO vividly recalls,
nor regarding the security Of asset banknotes
IN other countries and the benefit 10 their busl-
ness of that system.
We are the last o desire return to the evils
Of anre-bellum banking and the proposal TO let
banks issue notes upon their assets does noU
lead 1bither. The banks Of Canada issue notes
on their assets. that is. largely on commercial
paper, and their notes circulate n par all over
the Dominion. The notes Of the Bank of France
are based Oh the discount Of commercial paper.
The Reichsbanh OF Germany and some of the
Individual banks there issue notes upon their
assets. ana those notes are good everywhere ID
Germany. The banks of Scotland have for gen
erations put ont their credit notes. and one IF
the greatest sources of ScotlandS pride Is that
banknote system. II is useless 10 multiply ox-
ampleS. The principle has been thoroughly ri I'd
and is sound. The notes Of these banks based
Oh their assets are good as the notes of the
United States banks based bonds, and none
Of these countries has had such troubles as our
correspondent remembers in ante bellum DAYS
Moreover venture TO say that those
notes with which our correspondent had such
unhappy experiences were not based upon COM
mercial paper at all. but upon bonds. In the
SOS the institution OF free banking" had spread
pretty widely the country and sO-called
banks sprang up almost everywhere which were
not banks at all ia any modern acceptation OF
the word, but mere banks Of issue" They had
40 deposits and did none of the business which
a bank usually does except issue notes and the
notes of these free banks were based on bonds
These were the notes which gave state banking
such an unsavory name Our correspondent re
calls that with few exceptions the bills 3f
country banks outside of New England were at
"a heavy discount in New York" The exception
OF New England is significant. and if he will
examine the history of ante belum banking he
will learn why. That was the one section OF the
country which based its notes ON commercial
Daper and not on bonds. Free banking took no
hold in New England. If the banks of the rest
of the country had been as well managed and
New-York tribune., 1908-04-24

had based their circulation on as sound prIn-
cipIe as those Of New England no such cnaos
would have prevailed as he recalls.
When ur correspondent has praised the
soundness of the present bond secured currency
he has said all there Is to say for IT, we FAVOR
an asset currency. based that is on the COM
mercial paper which constitutes the Duih vi
bank assets because we believe from the expert
ences of other nations that it can be made by the
enactment of proper laws just as sound ana az
centabe as the existing bond secured notes, ana
because il has certain almost Indispensable quai-
itieS that cannot be impaired TO Il bond secured
currency. We mean the prompt and automatic
correspondence of its volume to the volume u
business. This country is every now ana liei
Ut its wits end TO relieve strains on credit snch

rpncy amid the ruins Of business.
New-York tribune., 1908-04-24
THE NEED or THE NAVY,

The statement is now and then put forward
10y opponents of an enlightened and progressive
na Va policy that the demand for big navy is
due to our ownership of the Philippines and the
need Of protecting them or Of guarding against
The international animoSites which have been
aroused by our possession of them, and that
if we had never taken those islands we should
not have been called upon 10 build navy.
The inarcuracy of that view is apparent from
the record The building of our new navy
was begun during the administration of Presl-
dent Arthur about quarter of a century ago
and many wears before the acquisition OF the
Philippines or other outlying territories was
dreamed Of our list of hattleships ana ar
mored cruisers contains many names antedatlng
the Spanish war. The ships which fought AT
Manila and Santiago were certainty not huiit
because of our annexation Of the Philippines
11nless We credit their builders with super
human presciencP. And it Is indisputahIe thar
the purpose Of the builders of those early ships
was not to build a few and then stop, hut TO
continue building on consistent plan until we
had navy adequate 10 our needs and proper
toned 10 our rank among the nations, and theh
10 keep il at that standard.
The testimony Of other nations is 10 the same
effect. No Informed man would pretend thaJ
termany's navy is being enlarged chiefly for
the sake Of the Caroline Islands or German
East Africa, that France builds her Warsnlps
for the sake Of TOnquiu and Martinique or
that Japans armada exists primarily for the
protection Of the Kuriles and Form0sa. The
British navy undoubtedly exercises important
functions connected with the scattered mem-
l1ors Of the British Empire but if Great Brit
ain bad not n single overSea colony she would
still recognize the imperative necessity Of re
tanning command Of the seas The need OF a
navy is an intrinsic need Of the nation, com
parable with the need of an army. Of an cxccu-
tive. Of a legislature Of n Judiciary. 1t IS
fundamental to competent and self-sustainin=
national sovereignty.
