Tbtia has led to a great decrease of tne Currency of the country, of which .' you, JMr. Editor, nave spoken repeat- edly ;and wisely. The public is hardly awaoe of the extent of thib decrease, On January 14, 1875, the national banknotes outstanding amounted to -351)861,450. On July 1, 1887, of those already cancelled or calhsd for :in exchange for greenbacks deposited with the treasurer of the U. S. by the banks for the purpose, the amount is only $17183,375, That is, the banks have diminished the circulation of the cjduntry ISO millions of dollars, i This contraction has tended undoubtedly-to the retardation of the revival of business.

Yet it is fast breaking doiyn, so far as its function as banks of issu extends, j The extraordinary rapidity of di (uiuution Of the public debt, and cbn sequfiit rise in .the price of govern nif-nt bonda, ha5 been caused by our enormpusTS'eJuc-s, the result of the hij,'h iDtotective tariff, whicbt he protec tionists h'av.e been unwilling to iee Ibwerod (or'fear of injury to their nanufacturingbusiuess. If, instead of tapidly liquidating the debt, we had become invqlsed in war with a strong poweri, the price of bonds would have lalltUj.'and the banking pystem mighl have broken-down from their depre ciation. Tlgfl is evident because the banks ;caii t&ly receive in notes 90 per cetat of fhe par value of the bonds, and the 1hw requires that if the mar-, ket price is less than par the 10 per cent margin, must be kept good. To get funds wheiewith to keep this margin good sach curtailing of loans mighYba bej;es3ary as would ruin the business world. A banking system which -will be affected so injuriously by either a reat rise or a great fail in the -value of the securities on which it is foiirded purely needs amendment. ' Another defect of the system is it's want Of elasticity. In the most pros perous! times,when large transactions need increased circulating medium, the banks are fettered by a cast-iron rule. In a financial panic which can only be allayed by liberal "loans to terntiea aeptors, wtien men of largo means may lie driven into bankruptcy for want of yeady money which the banks wpuld; gladly supply, this rigid law lucks up their vaults. , Tho Banfc of England, by Peel's 'Att of 1844Jis allowed to issue 75,- 000.000 of notes on fjovernment se curities. .All issue beyond this mustr be ba3ed bn equal values of bullion, T one-fojaith pf which may be sil ver. ; SsomO; think this system the perfection- of wisdom and Strength;' jet three ; times since 1844, frizt, in 1847, in 1857, and in 1866, has it been necessary for the bank, by the? advice of - the ministries in power fwh'opromised to jprocure from Puiliirrient Acts of indemnity, to is3Ue more notes than the law al- ! lowed, in order that the commercial world miirut escane min.

The 'discussions in Congress on the. subject fchowed no agreement in opiBion while many of the suggestions were wild and ab surd. , The - greenbackers urged the continued redemption of .national bank notes, and the substitution of government notes therefor. The "sil ver men'' would substitute for bank currency, silver certificates, !, e , cer tificates representing the silver dollars in the; gbvenment vaults. Others, at the head of whom i Mr. Bayard, K,(lM i . s. . (1 -7 .' with -all its lialulity to "wildcat" Jaere.bie and fraud, i I havo not space to demonstrate the fallacieb of these various propositions. I think it clear that it will be a great evil to liavp all our paper currency dependent on Congress, whether it be greenbacks" or coin certificates.; 1 fad to see fhat the printing of two per ebbt bonds, and having the 'cur rency re&t on - thorn, will .make any difference in principle or in fact, as Congrfcss can multiply bonds as easily as notes.: 'the return : to the State : bank sjsteiLis not, I thick, a practi cal quehtion.

Can a plan be devised to j secure this, and ai the Bame time pro vide that the circulation snail be elas tic, t. cv shall be .capable of increase when business demands increase and shrinkage when such demands dimin ish? 1 : I contend that if the banks should be allowed to invest their ; capital in le.jal tender coin, and to issue notes not; to exceed in value'three times the amount of such coin, the amount in excess oi the value of the coin to be invested in negotiable paper running not over three months, these desira ble ends would be attained. To explain this I will give exam ples : ' : The three banks of Raleigh have an aggregate capital of $425,000. At preeeut they issue only $190,000. Un der the proposed plan they could is sue, if the wants of the business world should require, up4to $1,275,000. To secure these notes the banks would have coin, $425,000, and $850,000 in short time paper. The banks of North Carolina had in .October. 187G.-a capital of $2,376, 000, with a circulation of $800,800, Bojfore 18G1 they had a circulation o five or six millions. Under the pro posed plan their maxinlum circulation wojuld be $7,128,000- To redeeai these notes the banks would have in coin $2,370, 000, and in shoit time bi'.js $4,752,000. ; Some are startled at this sugges-1 tioti as savoring of "wild cat" bank-1 ing, but in reality it is entirely safel It is not an experiment. It has been often tried, and when tried honestly, has always succeeded.: Sorue of the best banks in the world have had, and now have suchj p?wer. The Imperial B ink of Germany, a most sound in stitution has it. The Bank of France is a bank of this sort, and has passed successfully throftgh the most trying political revolutions and financial stomas. ' Wisely and honestly managed this is as safe as the national banking i VA'ithout wisdom and stitution is secure, as the depositors of the Exchange National Ban- of Norfolk, the Marine National Bank of :Newi York, and over one hundred others which have gone into the handa of 'receivers, havo found to their cott, Carelul supervision by the officers of the government and prompt subjec tion of offendera to. criminal prosecti- , ticin havo greatly increased :the safety 1 01 our present system, ana tbe sumo in th future. will dp The advantages of the proposed P-an are obvious : J. 1st. The new -currency would be elastic capable of expansion when business is buoyant and the demands for money are .great,, and it would contract naturaliy when business is diill. The volume would seldom be .erual to the maximum. Many of the old conservative parlks never reached tLe highest limits, because eligible borrowers were not found. 2nd. The rate.cf interest would fall, owing to the increased supply of currency. Since 18C5 banks in the South have charged as hich as 18 to 30: per cent per annum interest.

The Bank of France has ;j been eminently successful for years. 1 and the Imperial Barik of Germany.;' is moving on with similar prosperity", r; 2d. Assuming that such a scheme -will not meet th approval of Con- ? gl ess, 1 suggest that the present sys- tern could readily receive the proper i ; modifications. Lt thfre be the same, : or. more strict surveillance by the government. Let there be even heavier penalties inflicted for misfeasance by the officers, feet there be fre- j : (juent publications of the condition of the banks. Then let them substitute' legal tender coin for the bonds of the United; States, and have the privilege of issuing notes" payable to bearer, provided, as heretofore suggested, that one third of the amount shall be BtpreBflnted by coin,! and two third by negotiable paper running not over three months a large proportion of the coin to be in g aid. Jn order to make these notes uni versally acceptable, the coin might be deposited with the government, m d a sufficient tax, levied on the cir culation, should be Us d as an insur ance fund, out of which the notes of insolvent banks shall be paid. .ThiB proceeds of this tax are not needed by the treasury, and as the goyern ment would have control of the same, us well. as of the coin of the banks, it could safely guarantee the circulat ing notes. . J'rom 18G1 to' 188b' inclusive 112 national bauks have gone into the hali J a of receivers. These issued notes equal to $H,2r;i38. The pro ceeds of the tax on circulation for the same period amounted to $63,706j 7'h, hhowing that the present tax wijl be ample to indemnify the gov ernment on account of its guarantee. Even if by any possibility the govern ment should bo called on ito supple ment this funjl out of the treasury in order to make note holders narmless, I contend thai a sound circulating medium is as important to the gen eral welfare, and has as much claim ' on the paternal care of the govern ; ment, ah the postal system, or other ' governmental function constantly I aidod from the public, treasury. Borne may object that if Would not be safe to entrust the government j with the custody of the capital of the tanks,, but that ia done tinder the present system. A. government cer tificate for bdnds deposited is no in ore secure than such certificate for j:oin. - It will be noticed that I offer noth ing for the protection of depositors. I do not think it is the duty of the government to take care of private interests. Moreover, all banking sys tems need the jealous watching of their neighborhood customers with their eyes sharpened by self interest. o aid in holding bank officer s to their duty. v ' j If the proposed system should be adopted, there woulel be enough pa ?or fcirculation without '"greenbacks hese. relics of the great civil war should be called in and cancelled. Their retention will lead to embar rassment continually. Kemp P.
