Observation-Disclosures
THE ALpnlcu ounnENcY PLAN

Bond.secured currency has been
tested in this country and is failure
proyed; vet Senator Aldrich proposes
10 give us more of it. Hon. charles
n. Fowler recently pointed out that
from 1882 down to 1891 the bank-note
circulation decreased from sS65,ooV.ooo
to s122,000,000. Why? Because there
was no profit in 1t. Bank-note cir
culation often contracts at the very
moment that there is an extraordinary
demand for currency, and the banks are
periodically prodded by. the govern
nent 10 issue notes. Mr.. Aldrich re-
,eornizes this, and therefore provides
in his plan that no national bank that
has not already notes outstanding TO
an amount of 90 per cent. of Its capl-
tai stock is to be permitted to issue
/, emergency notes. This provision is
+ designed to force the bank to do, what
Z the profits OF business should make
them only too willing to do. We need "a
systen, that would be self-acting ana
voluntary, without the need OF prod-
ding. Our present bahk-note system
rs based on I'm. ed States bonds. Some
OF these pay only per cent. interest
yet they sell Mt a premium FOR the
reason stated, when otherwise they
would be worth about Is. IT is now
proposed TO supplement this system
with other bank-notes based upon
state, county, city and railroad bonds
Of a certain established character, but
the amount of circulation that may be
issued cannot exceed rs per cent. OF
(. the value OF the securities deposited;
: and the Comptroller of the Currency
isls to approve the bonds that may be
Z so employed and Is to determine under
I what circumstances the emergency
currency shall issue. The natural ef-
feet OF this will be to initiate the price
of all such bonds whenever there is
an extraordinary demand for them by
the banks, and of course the price Will
aase off when the banks wish to sell.
MS it probable. therefore. that the
banks would be swift to take money
already in hand and purchase bonds
Issue rs per cent Of the face value in
4 currency that is heavily taxed?
Where would the profit come In? And
without attractive profits. why should
the banks avail themselves of the
privileges of Mr.. Aldrich's measure?
Bond-secured currency is the worst
sort of credit currency, and it Is In
flation. for as Mr.. Fowler has also
pointed out, initiation is basing one
credit upon another credit: that is,
basing a banks liabilities upon credit
such as our present bank-notes, which
are in turn based upon another credit,
i a government bond, due in about
twenty-five years. And under the
.Aldrich plan the banks liabilities
would be based upon the credit of n
State, county. city or a railroad
corporation.
The Times-Dispatch greatly desires
to see a currency system that will be
safe and at the same time act auto
notwithstanding and contracting
according to the conditions of trade.
But the Aldrich plan rests on falsa
basis, and will not. we believe, by any
4 means meet the demands for an elias
tic currency. Nor do we believe that
Congress will adopt 1t.
