GOVENNAENT QURRENOY VEDSUS DANR NOTES, Tho Dubuquo Telegraph says that, whilo it can seldom diffor with Tue OiuioAao TRIDUNE on quostions of ;}xlolltlcnl eaonomy, it doos go on the question.of what onght to bo dono for a curren- c{; *The Telcgraph abjeots to tho-retiromont of tho greenbacks and the iucrenss of the National Bank notes as a means of speolo resumption. Tho frionds of an exclusivo greonback eurron- oz ‘hayo but one argumont in ife bohalf, This is tho plausible but nos woll-founded ono that it would cost the Govornment about $16,000,000 per annum loss if the present National Bank notos wore all greopbnecks. Tho fact is, how- evor, that tho National Banks, with sn ag- %iagnte oapital of ©478,000,000, poy Stato aud onoral Govornment taxes to the amount of #18,000,000 por annum, It is a woll known faot that bank capital, like all other porsonal prop- erty, oscapos its duo slnre of State and other 1ocal tnxation, exoopt in cases whoro & thorough oxhibit of it is eomgul}ad, 88 In the cnso of capl- tal in National Banke, aud it may eafely be as- wamod that, if the National Banking syatem _woro abolished, tho $476,000,000 of Lunk capital ‘would not pay tsxes of all kinds to a groater smaunt than $4,000,000 or £5,000,000, thusshow- ing o loss of from $13,000,000 to $14,000,000 of tazes now_colloctod by the Goneral Govern- ment and tho Btates. If, in comparing the cowt of Netlonsl Bank carroncy with the ‘taxes nid by the banlks, thara ia any considorablo balanco in favor of s oxclusivo groenback currency, it must, boromom= bered that this is the monus of securing to_the .whole country the soundest systom of bsuklni In tha world.” The small—for it {s” small—profit to'the banks on thoeir circulation is tho main in~ <ducoment to bank capital to subject iteclf to the rigid supervision of ‘Govornment oflicors, Tho margin of about 20 per cont in the market yaiuo of tho bonds deposited by tho National Bauks is ractically & sccurity for dopositors in addition 0 the continued publicity givon to the condition of tho banks. This of itself is worth moro to the poople at Iarge thon tho differonce betwoon tho taxos paid by the banks and the bonds hold by thom.. s _But bosides those arguments in bohalf of & Rational Bank currency, thera is & mora forciblo one against an exclusive curronoy of greenbacks. ‘Paper money cwrenoyis something that must ex~ pand and coutract several timos & yesrinaccord- ancewith theactivityof trade. A Governmentour- renoy can not be mado to do. thia in n logitimate woy, because tlic Government {8 not » bank and ought not 'to lond its credit to morchants shd tradors as a bank can and ought to do. Tho only way tho Government_gots its monoy out of the 'Troasury now, is by buying bonds, and this im- plies the' nacessity “of oxcessive texation in _order to bave a surplus fo ox- pend in tho purchise of bonds. Tho .prosent monns of . gotting ,groonbacks into ciroulation is thorofore only on incidont of tho poymeént of tho debt, the ultimate objoct of which'is'the retiromont of all Government obli- ‘gations, Tho much-talkod-of clasticity of tho <ustency cannot be obtained for Government "ourrency without tho annual eollection of nearly '$100,000,000 more taxes than is required by tho current expenses of'tho Government, There is, bowover, a still more important ob- ootion to an oxcluslve Govornnient currency : ‘o must resame specie paymeonts soma time, When that time comes it will be’ found that the banks can msintain public confidence. in their notes in -the .aggregato, with a much #maller . aggrogato specic regorve than ‘the _ Govornment could for eenbncks, It oir whole prosent volume of §700,000,000 of Ppaper monoy wero groenbacks, and the Govorn- Jment were to attempt resumption, it would ro- quire o constant rosorve of at Jenst £300,000,000 'of spocio in tho Treasury vaults to maintain con- Aidence in spocie redomptions of ' groenbacks, whila the banks could more likoly maintain confidenca in an oqual amount of notes with an ;E:Hll resorve of 20 por cent or sy $150,000,000. e ground for this beliof is the fact that in the ‘case of the Government, the wholo resorve fund isin one place, nnd its amount Lnown to every ody, 8o that evory doubter could measure from day to day, thoe incroasing or dacreasing ability of tho Goyornment to pay nll ita notos on domand, ‘The reserve would Lo 8o concontrated that any 068 of confidenco, or any well-planned schemo of the glfinntlu s‘fueu!n!ou of the present day, would tell with doublo forco ogainst the whole volume of currengy. But if tho '8700,000,000 wore all Lank notes, tho stack of specie could bo shifted around from lace to Y’lncu, to help sustain different Lanks. dozen bankt might fail, and yot confidonco not. ‘be shaken {n'tho gonoral sounduoess of. tho our- ronoy, whilo the buro suspicion thuk tho Govern- mont might not Lo ablo to pay ono of its notes would precipitate o panio at onca, It is not Emhnblo that as great an omount as $700,000,000 of paper monoy, either of bank notos or groenbaoks, can be kept in elroulation in this'country concurront with specie redomp- tions of the gamo on domand, Specio redemp- tions, *if ‘maintnined, wonld cortainly bring #100,000,000 to $160,000,000 of gold nnd_silver coin into cireulation, Qur paper monsy I8 now worth 87} conta in gold; bring it to par, and it ‘would "ropresont §787,600,000 of purchasing powor, add to this the &160,000,000 of coin that would como iuto circulution, and it wonld make §997,000,000 of circulating modium, which from our present osperienco would cortalnly bo 8200, 00,000 “or _£800,000,000 . more _than wo have apy logitimato use for.
