ABOUT THE PAPER CURRENCY Treasurer Nebeker Makes a Few Significant Remarks on the Topic. EXTRACTS FROM HIS ANNUAL REPORT Tmperfect and Unsatisfactory Methods Thit Should Be Improved Upon—Wade Hamp- ton Out of Politics—Will Send the Hant Seventh South. Wasnr , Dec. 17.—Treasurer report, ks tie the present in the United Statc “The present methods of keeping ue of the redemption of paper imperfeet and unsatisfactory. tainty of correct irable ina business of the magnitude h this has grown. There being no record of the redemption beyond a simple entry of date, denomination and amount, the safeguards against error insuf- cient. The sole reliunce for accuracy in the tion which the notes sing through the dej rtment mistake of description in_ the o ule, if not discovered hefore the de of the notes, would probably be perpetuated. Worse than this, duplicate numbers, or numbers never regularly issued, would be passed without suspicion, In cither the fict of an error having occurred mizht not be brought to light for yeays. And then only by the condition of thG account. If, for example, in tho course of the liquidation of a particular issue, an overdraft should ap- pear, the fact of some frregularity would be patent, but the correction, or even the loca- tion of the irregularity itself might be im- possible. “While some improvement might perhaps bo made i the details of present methods, it is doubtful it any system short of a complete numerical registry of every note, with the dates of issue and redemption, would be en tirely satisfactory. Such records would not onlybea stable check against tho errors which oceur, but would also bear upon their face a certain evidence of their own integ- rity and afford the means of tracing and co recting uny mistakes thut might ercep in,” Out of Politics George C.
