Instead of this, they only hold notes of the Government not payable in anything or at any time, Of course these notes are no better than bank notes, 60 far as anything like real pay 8 concerned ; and as nobody wants them, and nobody asks for them, the i Jden of the jeucmption of the bauk notes in such money is a farce ‘Tho banks are really banking on nothing sod paying nothing, #0 far ag thelr cireu lation is concerned, which is the only point on which they touch the general public ‘Lhe whole amount of greenbacks which the law compels tyem to hold to fullil their wholly imaginary obligation of redemption “. unas geen to be and felt by the banker to be apure dead weight, And tho Goverhment having gratuitously furnished them with so many favors at its own expenso from first to last, it is no wouder they now coolly turn to Congress and plecidly ask that body if it won't bo #0 good 48 to vote them, miserable sinners, tho sum of fur millions per annam, | more or logs, out of tho Treasury, for neshing on the face of the earth but to give so much Ly way of extra profits to their stockholders, A more brazen request it is not possible to conceive of. But, as wo hav there is a pretext for it etofore said, xt which has apparently imposed upon some specie loving people who are not banker. This trotext is that it is a step toward resum; con to have the greenbacks redeom oie in something, anda 3.65 bond fy better than nothing. The {ciiney of this idea ts, that it would wsult in no such thing ns practical redemp- tion of the greenback circulation, Even if the dreams of the projectors of an inter. changeable currency could be realixed—if the Government were compelled to furnish $.65 bonds for greonbacks to-day, and green backs for 8.65 bonds tomorrow—#o far as any reduction of the circulation is concerned, or any improvement of its quality, it would be a delusion, and in practice tomfoolery The 865 bonds and the legal tenders being absolutely equivalent to each other, the volume of currency would be precisely the sum of both. ‘The fact of their interchangen- blenees would make them used for eqnivalent purposes. A thonsand dollars of eac would be exactly equivalent to two thousand dollars of either, To redecm a greenback by an interost-boaring bond therefore, which is itself convertible into a greenback, is not to abridge the volume of currency to which the practice applies a single dol- lar. Such scheme would merely chango the character of tho circulation without lessening ite volume, or in the least chang: ing its relations to coin. For the preenbac not bearing interest would be substituted avoher greenback which does bear interest. The only true aim, tion, is to reach or approximate spec payments. The difficulty with our paper cirenlation is its depreciation, This de: tion, which is and must alw able, is the source of unnumbered evi which we wish to get rid of These ar untouched by any system of conversion into interest-bearing notes which permits re convertibility into legal tenders; beeaus this arrangement docs not change the rela tions of the circulation to coin, These will still be measured by its volume. And thus we see that this roconvertibility me, and this plan of nominal redemp- tion in 8.65 interest-bearing bonda, in so far as it pretends to bea plan to improve our paper currency, is no plan at all. It is to ge round in a circle and eall {t getting obead The value of the greenback while it is cor tuned a legal tender, is according to its volume; and unless it {s to be absolutely taken up and retired from circulation, it ought to be left to find its own level. In this way it does not at least operate as an oppression and @ weight upon industry and poverty, But change the character of it, and our present condi- cl be ve put it on intezest, as is in substance pro- posed, and you are engagod in the unprofit able business of making the rich ricber and the poor poorer, The or man who carries with him aud owns but small amounts of this currency has no sum which bears in terest. His ones and bis fives draw nothing. But the man with his hundred-dollar bill and his thousand-dollar bill, under the new system, is all the while drawing interest ‘This interest is taken out of the Treasury, where it has been put by the poor man, the shape of taxca on n his tea and his coffve and his salt, and cther things. If such « scheme is not one to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, then we confers that we can conceive of no plan that would be An Llustration, ve Rev, Erizan Kerroca telle of mathematical professor who, having laned his horse and broken both thills of his , hired another horse and carriage to take him and the chaise home.
