It is argued that it mast be perfect. But there is a lot. of public opinion in this republic to the ef fect that BANKERS are NOT THE ON PROPLE who have an in- terest in the CURRENCY. Possibly it is very absurd, tut there Is a widespread belief that bankers care more for their own interests than they do for the inter eats of other people, and that when all bankers get together on any @urrency proposition, ft ts ttme for the public to look out for THE BROOKS. Vafortunately, bankers are apt to cntertain the Idea that ecur- Wency is crested for the benefit of banks, not that banks exist merety @8 a currency convenience, “ To the banker mind, money exists for THE YIELDING OF INTEREST. To the average business mind, it exists for THE SAV ING OF INTEREST. The essential purpose of currency ts to facilitate gen @ustry, and its volume and flexibility ought to be regulated to that end. Quite @ different viewpSint ia that of the banker who would ike to have the money supply so far regulated by himeeclf as to afford him the highest possible rate of interest. CONGRESS KNOWS VERY WELL THAT THE CURRENCY SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE But congcrese kuows, too, or ought to know, that the main defects are not due to an oversight of the inter ests of the money loaners, but to Oversight of the interests of the hundreds of thousaads of money borrewers. Currency reform by benkers Is ike “tariff reform by its fends.” Tt is “reform” in the wreng direction and in the interest of the wrong kind of people.
