The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-12-18
Currency reform and
WHY BUSINESS NEEDS IT

ton where they have all they can do
to look out for themselves. Is he
pressed for cash and in need Of all
the credit to which his assets entitle
him?-that is exactly the time when
the bank informs him that it can dis
count no more of his paper. Has he
a loan on sloW-mOving stuff coming
have renewed?-that is exactly the
time when the banks will politely re
quest him to pay up. 1t is always
the same story. The very condition
which make urgent the business mans
need for credit make his bank UNI
willing, and not infrequently unable,
to let him have it.
The Business Man Is Waking Up.
Ten years ago-iive years ago-the
average business man had mighty lit
tie idea at such times what was the
matter. The banks shut down on him
and it couldn't be helped, and that
was all there was to it. But the crisis
of early 1907 and the panic of late
1907 opened his eyes to what was
really what. Publicity, before I'M
heard of, was given to banking affairs.
Everybody took an interest From
one end of the country to the other
there was disseminated information
as to just what had caused the break
down and as to just how the break
down had occurred. That meant a
great awakening on the part of the
business community. Perhaps this
sort of thing isn't necessary at all
the business voice began to murmer;
perhaps, as the economists have been
telling us right along, the banking
and currency system is no good-we
are the richest nation in the world
why should we have a succession OF
such financial troubles when nobody
else ever has them?
The "verage American business mar
is a pretty intelligent sort of indi
vidual. His attention, once turned
upon the currency system, has
brought out it's defects in sharp re
lief. AS long as the discussion was
academic he didn't care anything
about it, but when the panic of 1901
showed him how the existence of sucf
system was costing him real money
and endangering his business, he be
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-12-18

New York, Dec. 1S.-There is a wide
difference of opinion as to what
caused the crisis of 1907, but there
is no difference of opinion as to what
caused the panic. Crisis in business
can't be helped; they have them all
over the world. But panics are an
American speciality. We develop a
1Dod healthy crisis every once in a
while and then our marvellous cur
rency system does the rest.
1t isn't necessary to go back any
further than 1903 to see what panic
can do in the way of knocking bust
ness fiat for a year or more, but pro-
duction of panics is not the worst
that the currency and banking sys-
TEN can do. Panics are bad things
for business, but they only happen
once in while. Every few years,
however, the currency system devel-
OPS a condition of things where the
business man "goes up against it" as
far as banking accommodations is con-
cerned. His loans are called and he
finds he can't replace them except
upon eXorbitant terms. The banks
refuse to discount his paper. Through
no fault of his own he suddenly finds
the banking support on which he has
come to rely knocked out from under
him.
In some cases it means that he has
to cut down his business in every
direction-shorten sail, as 1t were,
and ride out the storm. In other
cases it means that in spite OF every
thing he can do, he goes on the rock.
Now does it take a full-sized panic
to do the business. The fair record
of the past ten years is blotted with
one money market ruction after an
other which has sent the failure rec
Cord kiting.
/ I Now, there is not the slightest
doubt in the mind of any observant
business man that the cause Of these
recurring troubles is the unfitness OF
the present banking and currency
system. Just what is the remedy he
NAV not be prepared to say. But this
much he knows, that every time trou'
ble threatens on the business horizon
the bankers, instead of being in a
nosition to come to the relief of the
mercantile community, are in a posi-

gan to go at the thing in the same
way as he has been accustomed to go
at every other business problem.
'Iiquidness if assets" and elasticity
of currency" are terms which sound
as though they came out of college
textbook, and so have never interest
ed him particularly. But show him
that the reason the bank refused to
discount his paper that last time was
because the bank was afraid to tie up
money in commercial paper with
which it couldn't do anything, and
the folly of the present system OF
bank-discount becomes mighty inter
esting to him. Show him that the
reason they called that loan that
meant SO much to him was because
they had to strengthen a reserve too
largely used in Wall Street, and the
folly of having the country banks re-
serves used that way is brought forci-
bly, home. He hadn't looked at it
that way before. He had always
supposed that the currency system
was really pretty good and that the
only people who wanted to change it
was a lot of college professors and
theoreticians. If the existence of the
system is really doing him and his
business harm, he's ready enough to
pitch in and help get it changed.
Lack of cooperation among the
banks, the absence of a decent dis
count market, a currency which has
no relation to the needs of trade
these defects in the present system
are getting to be pretty well under
stood by the average business man.
He cares, not because someone else
thinks that We ought to have better
system, but because it has been
brought home to him that the pres
emit system is no good-that in time
of stress it doesn't stand the gaff.
The theoretical side of the thing
he knows is, that the way things are
now, the first sign of trouble finds
practically every bank in the country
withdrawing instead of extending
help. We may not have another
1907" for a good while, it is quite
true, but it doesn't need panic to
start the banks putting the screws on
their customers. With such system
as we have at present that can hap
pen at almost any time.
What, then, is wanted? From the
standpoint of the business man, a sys
tenn which will prevent these business
destroying ructions in the money
market and the major panics into
which they develop every once in sc
often.
Can the present system be sc

through an association of all the
banks. What is needed next is a dis
count-market in which banks can
turn good commercial paper into cash.
That can be accomplished by letting
this association of all the banks dis

place is a sensible kind of currency
which will expand in volume when
there is a demand for it and which
will contract when the demand slack

amended as to make that possible?
Best opinion Is that it can. What is
needed primarily is cooperation
among the banks instead of the pres
ent system of everyone look out for
himself. That can be accomplished

ems. That can be accomplished by
gradually calling in the present un-
reasonable currency issued by indi-
vidual banks, and replacing it with
currency issued by the banks associa-
ton.
